Arts education is vitally important for kids. Numerous research studies have shown that the arts teach and enhance core curriculum studies including math, language arts, and science. Beyond the academic benefits, exposure to the arts broadens a child’s understanding of the world, builds confidence, inspires creative thinking, and a connection to others. Youth are more likely to participate in school leadership, have better attendance and higher academic achievement.
