Arts in Education Forum - Seattle, WA

Students speak up about arts education in their schools. Nearly 200 arts education advocates attended the sixth annual Arts in Education Forum, Monday, Nov. 8 at Seattle University to discuss how the arts engage, challenge and motivate young people. Two current students and one recent graduate of Seattle Public Schools directed the conversation with Mayor Mike McGinn and SPS Chief Academic Officer Dr. Susan Enfield.

Both Mayor McGinn and Dr. Enfield reinforced their commitments to the city's multi-year Arts in Education Partnership with Seattle Public Schools; integrating arts in the upcoming Families & Education Levy; and finding more ways to provide critical arts opportunities for students across Seattle.
