The Dilemma

The Problem

The decrease in arts education in K-12 schools leads to several negative effects on students, including lower grades and less growth in their social, emotional, and thinking skills. These problems are even worse for students in low-income areas, further exacerbating educational inequalities. Research shows that keeping strong arts programs in schools is crucial for helping students develop in a well-rounded way.

Our Solution

Improve Academic Achievement

Improve Academic Achievement A study by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) found that low-income students who were highly involved in the arts were more likely to get better grades and score higher on tests compared to those with less involvement in the arts.

Encourage Social and Emotional Development

Arts education has been shown to improve social and emotional skills like empathy, self-expression, and teamwork. Students who participate in the arts are also more likely to get involved in community service and show greater understanding and kindness toward others.

Facilitate Equity and Access

Art programs are often cut back in low-income and minority communities, making educational inequalities worse. A report by Americans for the Arts points out that schools in poorer areas are more likely to reduce arts programs because of budget issues.
