🎨 When Did You Stop? Don’t Let Youth’s Creativity Be Cut Off! ✂️

Arts education matters, but only 1 in 10 CA schools comply with the state arts education policy. Less than half of California's K-12 students receive an arts education.

✨ Creativity builds confidence, fosters innovation, and helps students thrive. Let’s ensure every student has access to the arts!

📚 Take Action Today:
✅ Learn more and access resources at CreateCA.org
✅ Connect with your school leaders to advocate for arts education.

🖌️ Let's protect creativity for future generations.
