ARTS COUNCIL OF PLACER COUNTY
ART EDUCATION MONTH
March is Arts Education Month., We’re joining forces with Create CA to show how #ArtsEdRebuilds. From building leaders to reviving our economy, arts education is and will continue to be more essential than ever.

As 80% of students report worsening mental health during the pandemic, arts education is proven to decrease stress and anxiety.
