In 2010 Congress passed a resolution designating the week beginning with the second Sunday in September as National Arts in Education Week—to raise awareness of the value and importance of arts in education.

WyAA invites you to join us in recognizing the arts as part of a well-rounded education for students in your community.

You can join WyAA’s online campaign by sharing your story with photos or video on social media. Use the hashtags #BecauseOfArtsEd #ArtsEdWeek and #MoreArtBetterWyoming to help your posts reach others. Raise visibility by tagging @WyomingArts and your local arts organizations in your posts so we can check out your post and share it. Lastly, you can amplify the stories of others by liking and sharing their posts.
