Here is a treasure trove of planning, promotion and advocacy resources specifically designed to help you create and promote your Art IS Education event while advocating for arts learning.

Three Planning Tips and Toolkits for sharing with your community that Art IS Education for your students!

1. When you decide to create an Art IS Education event, consider how to make the learning and thinking, necessary to create a finished artwork, visible. This Making Learning Visible Toolkit includes examples and tools of the range of ways you can make your student learning a core part of your event. View a booklet of examples from around the county.

2. Consider having students write an artist statement to accompany their artwork in an exhibit or to include in a performing arts program. This Artist Statement Toolkit includes prompts and templates for students to reflect on their learning experience, practice their arts learning vocabulary, self-assess and consider next steps, develop their voice as a youth spokesperson, and, most importantly, tell their unique story.
