Passed by Congress in 2010, House Resolution 275 designates the week beginning with the second Sunday in September as National Arts in Education Week! During this week, arts educators and arts education advocates join together across the country to tell the story of the impact of the transformative power of the arts in education. Check out Encore Tours’ video for #ArtsEdWeek below and find out how you can participate by visiting Americans for the Arts‘ National Arts in Education Week website: www.americansforthearts.org/by-topic/arts-education/national-arts-in-education-week. At Encore Tours, we are fierce advocates of music and arts education as a meaningful way for children and adults alike to express themselves, learn important life skills, and explore themselves and the world. Happy #ArtsEdWeek 2017 from all of us at Encore Tours! How will you be celebrating?
