Arts leaders need to address the many areas of impact the arts have on community development. Representatives from several of these areas have asked for more formalized programs to address their needs. As such, we have developed several targeted networks that are represented by national councils to address specific issues for their constituent groups, provide insight and direction for programs and tools, and offer an opportunity for leaders from across the country to become directly involved on a national level. Targeted networks represented include:
Arts Education NetworkLearning and participation in music, dance, theater, and the visual arts are vital to the development of our children and our communities.
