It underscores the belief that arts education, encompassing disciplines like dance, music, theater, and visual arts, is an essential component of a complete and well-rounded education for all students. The resolution highlights that arts education fosters critical thinking, problem-solving skills, imagination, creativity, and alternative communication methods, which are vital for academic success and personal growth. It also notes that arts education effectively differentiates instruction for diverse learners, including English language learners and students with special needs, and recognizes the nonprofit arts sector as a significant economic driver. Furthermore, the resolution acknowledges the substantial impact of Young Audiences Arts for Learning , which annually engages millions of participants through thousands of arts-in-education programs across its 30 national affiliates. These programs work with tens of thousands of educators and teaching artists in numerous schools and community centers nationwide. Ultimately, the resolution supports this designation, honors the contributions of Young Audiences Arts for Learning programs to students, teachers, and communities, and encourages the public to observe the week with activities that promote awareness of the enriching role of arts in education for young people and society as a whole.
