Arts in Education Week – Day 3

All week long

I’ll be posting information each day for Arts in Education Week. See below for resources and details to help you celebrate at the local level.

If you missed yesterday’s post and wondering where and how this week got started: Starting in 2010 Arts in Education Week was designated by Congress with the House Resolution 275. The resolution names the week beginning with the second Sunday in September as National Arts in Education Week.
