The National Endowment for the Arts will host a free webinar on September 11 at 3 p.m. ET, addressing the topic of how arts groups can build collective-impact initiatives to advance arts education. NEA Arts Education Director Ayanna Hudson will host the discussion, with guests Giselle “Gigi” Antoni, president/CEO of Big Thought, a Dallas-based nonprofit advocating for increased access to education; and Denise Grande, director of Los Angeles County’s Arts for All initiative to make sequential arts instruction part of the curriculum at public schools in Los Angeles. Following presentations by Hudson, Antoni, and Grande, there will be an interactive Q&A session. Register in advance for the webinar here.
