It's Young Audiences Week!
Resolution passed by House & Senate
We couldn't be more pleased to announce that the United States Senate and House of Representatives have issued resolutions designating this week (March 12-16) as "National Young Audiences Week," honoring the contributions that Young Audiences programs have made in enriching the lives of students, teachers, volunteers, families and communities nationwide. The resolution states that arts education, "including dance, music, theatre, media arts, literature, design, and visual arts, is a core academic subject and an essential element of a complete and balanced education for all students." In addition to the Congressional resolution, Erie County Legislator Lynn Marinelli, Chairperson of the Community Enrichment Committee of the Legislature, has issued a Proclamation from the County, and Buffalo Councilmembers Michael LoCurto and David Rivera (pictured above) have co-sponsored a Proclamation from the City, celebrating the organization's achievements locally.
