Today is a great day. We are in Houston with several Texas Women for the Arts members assembling and delivering Art Boxes to local students.
Thank you to the members of the Texas House Committee on Public Education for hearing testimony yesterday on HB434. Please protect arts education in Texas.
“Building a competitive workforce requires more than one skillset. Let’s not pretend that access is equitable for students in marginalized communities, because it is not. Substituting or removing learning is unacceptable and a disservice to a child’s education.”
A critical hearing on HB 434 is scheduled for THIS MORNING! You can watch the hearing live, including testimony from the Texas Cultural Trust, at the link below.
