Arts advocacy is an enormous issue facing Kentucky as well as our nation today.  The Kentucky Art Education Association is committed to Art advocacy at regional, state and national levels.  We continue to participate in the Arts Advisory Council, Kentucky Task Force for Environmental Literacy, and the National Art Education Association. Recently, we formed an alliance with The Kentucky Music Educators Association in state advocacy efforts.

A grassroots effort by our members will translate into larger returns for Kentucky.  KyAEA members can become active in contacting state and local representatives  with clear and concise statements which not only describe the advantages of a Quality Arts Education **, but also convey the importance of funding in the arts. 

KyAEA developed “What High Quality Visual Arts Education Provides” pamphlet.  This advocacy tool is available to all members at no cost.  For a copy or to download the file, contact Judi Haynes.  judihns@yahoo.com
