GCAAE in talks
over arts content
in Ohio schools
As part of our commitment to advocacy of the arts, several GCAAE members have met to discuss the proposed changes in the fine arts academic content standards proposed by the Ohio Department of Education. GCAAE strongly supports access to the arts for all students through strong public school arts programs and appreciates having the opportunity to provide positive feedback to the State Board of Education to ensure that this happens for all students.
GCAAE co-hosts
library card campaign
The Public Library of Greater Cincinnati and the Greater Cincinnati Alliance for Arts Education (GCAAE) are sharing center stage to encourage students to “Be a Star with Your RED Card!” With support from GCAAE’s member arts organizations, from late September (National Library Card Sign-Up Month) through October, students in grades K-8 enrolled in Hamilton County schools will be “star struck” by the many great advantages of signing up for a library card and using it for free. As part of the campaign, GCAAE will provide exciting prize incentives for participating schools and teachers. Click here for more information.
