How Do the Arts Support Mental Health and Create Cultural Understanding?

Arts education is a tool for students’ social-emotional learning and mental health, but the arts are not accessible for all of California’s students. 88% of California schools FAIL to provide the visual art, music, dance, theater and media arts classes mandated by law.

Create YOUR art piece or short video that highlights a meaningful, compelling story about how the arts support mental health and create cultural understanding for you, your classmates, your school, and community. 

Grades 7-12. Cash prizes for winners. Samples of past winning submissions available. Deadline is February 7, 2022.
