Make Arts a Core Subject in NYS

Show Your Support for S285 / A1502

Given the lack of compliance with current arts education teaching requirements, NYCAIER has offered its full support of S285 (sponsored by Senator Rachel May) and A1502 (sponsorship by Assemblymember Kimberly Jean-Pierre). Simply put, these bills would put arts education on par with other required New York State education curriculum subjects. We believe the first step to addressing the inequities in access to and funding for arts education.
