ARTS EDUCATION TOWNHALLS

SEASONAL ARTS EDUCATOR CELEBRATIONS
AEMS believes that arts education is a civil and human right and we take a holistic and dynamic approach to advocacy so that we are always centering the needs of our constituents. We advocate through policy and legislation, influencing decision makers, participating in special initiatives, and by sharing resources with community members to support them in their own advocacy journeys.
