Calling On all Art Educators…
What makes the ArtConnectED a great organization to work in is our belief that students are the most important part of our program. Our focus is always on students. As important as it is to create an event that showcases students' artistic talent, it is equally important to showcase the importance of a quality visual arts education program for ALL students. In order to achieve this, we need your help. Become part of the ArtConnectED community, advocate for the visual arts and help celebrate the accomplishments of students together. Please volunteer with us, we need you and your passion!
