This resolution expresses congressional support for designating April 13-26, 2025, as "National Young Audiences Arts for Learning Week" to recognize the contributions of arts education programs across the country. The resolution highlights that Young Audiences Arts for Learning, a nonprofit network with 30 affiliates nationwide, reaches nearly 5 million students annually through over 87,000 arts programs in schools and community centers, serving students of all backgrounds and ability levels. The resolution emphasizes that arts education develops critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills while supporting academic success, and notes the economic importance of the nonprofit arts sector to communities. No federal funding is required by this resolution, as it is a non-binding expression of support that encourages Americans to recognize and celebrate arts education during the designated week. The measure focuses primarily on honoring the work of arts educators and promoting awareness of how arts integration benefits student learning and overall society.
