Fact of the Week #215

Fact of the Week #215: State arts agencies (SAA's) support lifelong learning in the arts. By supporting arts education in the schools, state art agencies foster young imaginations, address core academic standards, and promote the critical thinking and creativity skills essential to a 21st century workforce. These agencies also support after-school/out-of-school arts programs, early childhood arts learning, arts in higher education and programs that teach the arts to adults and seniors.. This is achieved and accomplished through grants,services and research to support these needs.    www.nasaa-arts.org
