National Art in Education Week Post“Arts education, comprising a rich array of disciplines including dance, music, theatre, media arts, literature, design, and visual arts, is a core academic subject and an essential element of a complete and balanced education for all students.”

With these words, the U.S. House of representatives designated the week beginning with the second Sunday of September as National Art in Education Week. The Michigan Philharmonic, with our CLASSical Music Outreach Third Grade Program, Visiting Artists workshops, and of course the Michigan Philharmonic Youth Orchestra is proud to nurture, support, and recognize the importance of arts education in Michigan. 

National Art in Education Week in September 10-16 this year. Share your stories of an important arts teacher or arts class that you have had with the hashtag #BecauseOfArtsEd.
