In January of 2020, Creative Generation and its partners launched Campaign 2020: Arts and Cultural Education as a Fundamental, Civil, and Human Right.
Check out the campaign on social media using #RightToArtsEd.
Since this launch, the world has survived a global pandemic, nations are facing a worldwide recession, and throughout communities saw civil uprisings working to dismantle systems of oppression and White Supremacy around the globe. And throughout all of this, young creatives and their educators stayed centered on the goal to lead through the arts and culture in order to envision a new future.
There is so much work to do - and we invite you to join a global campaign to amplify this work. Together, our worldwide commitment to the fundamental, civil, and human right to arts and cultural education for every young person remains strong, but we must demonstrate that through action.
In light of the pandemic, recession, and uprisings, governments are making tough decisions to eliminate access to arts and cultural learning for young people – this is not okay. We know that arts and cultural education can be a lifeline for youth facing difficult circumstances. The arts and culture can be a community healing activity from collective trauma. Further, we know that the solutions we desire come from the creativity and ingenuity of the next generation; if we do not inculcate that now, we may face dire consequences in the future.
