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
• Submitting articles for other educational  media venues

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:

• Youth Art Month
• Scholastic Art
• MNSHSL Show
• State Fair
• Member art shows

Building relationships and partnerships with commercial interests, including:

• Conference vendors
• Donors/supporters

 

If you like to help with art shows, talk to legislators, and talk about why arts matter, Advocacy is for you!  Contact Laura to help!
