In an effort to collect and compile stories of the value and impact of Arts experiences and Arts Education, the Greater Cincinnati Alliance for Arts Education (GCAAE) invites you to submit your belief statement on the importance of arts and arts education. These will be collected and shared in order to advocate for the arts to various constituents including school district administrators and elected officials.

In your submission below, feel free to share anything representing the importance of the arts to you, whether it's your first experience with art, your personal study or career path related to art, or the impact you've seen art have on others.
