our movement has begun
In November we launched a MOVEMENT to make sure every child gets art. We've already exceeded this year's goal to reach 70,000 children! Today 72,000 students in 2,400 classrooms and enrichment centers nationwide are inspired by our outstanding lessons. And, 42% of those we serve are in Title I, low-income schools. 

Help us achieve our goal by bringing art to your school or referring us to one in need. Contact Jean Barbari for information. 
We look forward to celebrating the importance of the arts for our kids during Arts Education Month in March.

aia founder receives prestigious award
Judy Sleeth, third from left.
In recognition of her work as founder of Art in Action, Judy Sleeth was honored with the 2017 Avenidas Lifetime of Achievement Award.

In 1982, when Judy's daughter was in elementary school, she founded Art in Action in response to funding cuts that eliminated arts education from schools. Judy continues to dedicate time and resources to making sure all kids have art through the Judy Sleeth Scholarship Fund. Watch for upcoming details.

Congratulations and thank you, Judy!
