We need to share our experiences
Our personal stories are just as powerful as the data. Parents, students, and especially alumni are the most credible advocates for arts education because our message doesn't carry the perceived bias of self-interest that teachers may face. By sharing our important stories alongside facts, we can demonstrate that fine arts are essential, not expendable, even as school budgets tighten.
By unifying as one voice for all of the arts we capitalize on strength in numbers.
In a world of uncertain jobs, we must advocate for well-rounded education that includes music, dance, theater, and art. By uniting all fine arts under PAE and SAE, we can amplify our voice and work together to secure a strong future for these programs.
PAE can provide the marketing materials, data and resources, but in order to make a real difference we need coordinated local grass-roots efforts. Reach out to fellow parents and students, both current and former, put on PAE/SAE buttons and advocate together!
