The Kennedy Center Alliance for Arts Education Network (KCAAEN) has created this Arts Education Advocacy Tool Kit as a resource for those interested in developing knowledge, skills, and habits to be effective advocates, at whatever level and degree of commitment they are willing to make. The Tool Kit focuses on three major topics:

  1. the habits of effective arts education advocates,
  2. the power of coalition and networking, and
  3. the components of an effective arts education advocacy plan.

Whether you are new to advocacy or have been working for many years to secure a solid place for arts learning in your community, this Tool Kit will help to improve your advocacy skills.
