A MONTHLY NEWSLETTER OF THE ARIZONA COMMISSION ON THE ARTS | |
|
We are proud to introduce the 15 exceptional young people who will serve on our 2022-23 AZ Youth Arts Council!
Established in 2019, the AZ Youth Arts Council advises the Arts Commission on grant programs and initiatives that directly affect young people. As they do so over the next 9 months, they will review issues related to arts and culture programs and services for young people and learn about policy related to equal access to the arts for all young people in Arizona.

Registration is now open for 2022-23 Arizona Poetry Out Loud! Arizona high schools can register to participate through October 31.
Poetry Out Loud is a national arts education program for high-school students and teachers that seeks to foster the next generation of literary readers by capitalizing on the latest trends in poetry – recitation and performance.
Teachers who would like to participate register themselves for the program.
| |
Once registered, each participating teacher/school receives access to free multimedia curriculum materials – a poetry anthology, teachers’ guide, poetry books and comprehensive website all aligned to national standards – augmenting their regular poetry curriculum with poetry recitation and a classroom-level competition. School-level recitation champions compete to advance to the regional, state and then national levels.
For more information, visit the Poetry Out Loud page on University of Arizona Poetry Center’s website.

A joint effort between State Education Agency Directors of Arts Education and its longtime partner, Quadrant Research, the AEDP studied actual student participation data reported by school districts to their state education departments data from the 2019 school year. The result is the National Arts Education Status Report Summary 2019, a comprehensive look at access to and participation in arts education in public schools in the United States. | |
|
The Arts Education Data Project (AEDP) provides the first-ever look at the status and condition of arts education in the U.S. using actual student participation data reported by school districts to their state education departments. Beyond the summary report, national data can be explored via a powerful online dashboard at https://artseddata.org/national_report_2019/ | |
