Supporting Arts Education in the U.S.

So my story of hopefulness are the early educators, our art teachers and music teachers specifically here in the States.

The funding for our art programmes and music programmes have fallen by the wayside in recent years. My sister, who is an art teacher like so many in the profession, does so much work in preparation, whether it be over the summer vacation or on days off, spending her own money on materials and coming up with curriculum to teach our youth.

It's super important that we find ways to fund and support the arts for young people. The ability to inspire and extract that kind of talent from young children, or the ability to help them view the world in a different way through arts and music is vital.
