Each September, thousands of parents, teachers, artists, and arts education advocates visit the Americans for the Arts site and PSA site, taking the start of the school year as an opportunity to ask questions about their children’s arts education. To address the questions and concerns of these arts education stakeholders, Americans for the Arts hosted an Arts Education Salon on ARTSblog from September 21 – 25, 2009. Twenty-four guest bloggers posted more than 70 blog entries during that week on one specific topic: what steps can people or organizations take to ensure the children of their community have access to a great arts education?

The Salon not only provided crucial information to our readers and ARTSblog visitors, but also offered a forum for discussion on the hot topics the bloggers addressed in their posts. The Arts Education topics which were touched upon were diverse, from arts activities at home and ways for parents to become arts smart to the value of arts education and the need for advocacy. Be sure to continue reading the posts at your leisure and comment as you like. They can all be found using the Salon Sept 09 blog tag.
