A current issues article besides all the arts education budgeting and funding ones I'm always reading. The 99 Percent Arts by Robert Bettmann for the The Huffington Post.
"Art and Culture are part of the commons. Art is not a luxury item."
I love this "Pay it Forward" segment from the local news. The cool part is the reporter Elex Michaelson, who gets the chance to pay it forward, is the son of an awesome local artists here in L.A, Crystal Michaelson who I met from working at a local gallery! All in all, it's a great segment for Art Educators that will make you a little teary!
