This week, Sept. 11-17, is National Arts in Education Week!

In July 2010, the U.S. House of Representatives designated the 2nd week of September as Arts in Education Week via House Resolution 275:

“Whereas arts education, comprising a rich array of disciplines including dance, music, theatre, media arts, literature, design and visual arts, is a core academic subject and an essential element of a complete and balanced education for all students.”
