Accent to Art Education keeps students in school...

Did you know: A 2009 Study revealed that New York City public school students with the lowest graduation rates have the least access to instruction in the arts…[while] schools in the top third in graduation rates offered their students the most access to arts education and the most resources that support arts education. Support Arts Education in your area! 


For Portland, that includes the Creative Advocacy Network, which is working to establish a new public fund for the arts in the Portland Metropolitan Region. For more information: http://theartscan.org/
