Education Week

The benefits of arts education have been well proven. At the Festival, we know the immediate and lasting benefits of arts learning experiences, individually and communally. Yet equitable access to meaningful arts education is diminishing, inside and outside the classroom. Education Week celebrates and advocates for arts education, centering the perspectives of young people and those who care about them: teachers, parents, policymakers. Join us and explore all things teaching and learning in arts education.
