How can I help?
You can help with art shows, attend meetings as an arts advocate, contact legislators, and be a resource for other art educators. This can take just a couple hours of your life (or more if you have time), but is so helpful!
Mission:
The charge of the advocacy committee shall be to empower our members by promoting art education throughout the state of Minnesota and beyond.



This includes:
Communicating the value of art education by:
- Providing information on AEM’s noteworthy activities to the Communications Committee for press releases to general media

Training members to:
- Serve on related art and education boards statewide to represent AEM to those interests
- Present on arts education related issues at other related institutions’ conferences
Managing Arts outreach activities, including:
