Throughout history, humans have explored our identity through our creative pursuits: film, painting, dance, poetry, music, literature, sculpture, photography, and more. The arts help communities understand their own history and preserve their culture for future generations. Fortunately, Americans’ interest in the arts appears to be on an upswing – specifically performing arts led that increase followed by fine arts education.
Arts and humanities broaden our experience and enrich our lives. Studying arts and humanities teaches young people to think creatively and critically, preparing them to succeed in a rapidly-changing world. Funding for arts programs often can’t meet the need, but non-profits often step into the gap, ensuring these enriching programs and services remain vibrant.
