About the Event
This year we will engage with the fundamental question that the 2025 SC Arts in Education Task Force has explored over the last eight months, "How do we expand access to arts learning in our current and future environment?"
Join us for:
- A sneak peek into this group’s process, findings, determined priorities, and an action agenda for the next three years.
- Action Agenda Breakout sessions that engage public comment and experience promising practices from across the state.
