National Arts & Humanities Month

Please join thousands of arts organizations and communities across the nation to celebrate National Arts and Humanities Month throughout October. National Arts and Humanities Month is coordinated by Americans for the Arts, the national organization working to empower communities with the resources and support necessary to provide access to all of the arts for all of the people. Here are some ways to celebrate:

• Join the 31-day Instagram challenge and encourage others to join, too! Find the daily themes and post along all month using #ShowYourArt2020.

• Tell the world how #ArtsCreateHope.

This year, as communities struggle with the pandemic and other social issues, the arts are here to help support. During National Arts & Humanities Month, share your story on social media of the arts creating hope in your life using #ArtsCreateHope and #NAHM.

• Write to your local elected officials, letting them how important arts and arts education funding is to you, your family, and our community.

• Enjoy the arts virtually on your own, or with people you love. Play with clay, draw, and make music with your kids at home. Watch a documentary on a favorite artist or visit a digital exhibition online.
