New York, NY - The National Guild for Community Arts Education is proud to announce a groundbreaking milestone in our advocacy efforts for arts education across the nation. Through close collaboration with Representative Nydia Velazquez's office, we have successfully crafted a national resolution recognizing February 28th as National Community Arts Education Day. This resolution will be formally introduced in Congress on February 28th, 2024.
National Community Arts Education Day aims to celebrate and highlight the invaluable contributions of community-based arts education programs in fostering creativity, nurturing talent, and building vibrant communities nationwide. This designation is a testament to the tireless dedication of educators, administrators, artists, and advocates who work tirelessly to ensure that arts education is accessible and inclusive for all.
The journey to achieving this milestone has been one of partnership, perseverance, and passion. The National Guild for Community Arts Education extends its heartfelt gratitude to Representative Nydia Velazquez for her unwavering support and leadership in championing this cause. Her commitment to the arts and education has been instrumental in driving this initiative forward.
As we look ahead to February 28th, 2024, the National Guild for Community Arts Education calls on communities, organizations, and individuals across the nation to join us in celebrating National Community Arts Education Day. Let us come together to honor the transformative impact of arts education and reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that every individual has access to the enriching benefits of the arts.
