Highlights of 2005-2006:
Advocating for the Arts The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers plays a unique role in promoting excellence in arts education by showcasing the work of the nation’s most talented emerging artists and writers, highlighting the cumulative work of colleague organizations at the local, state and national levels. The Alliance also takes an active part in national non-profit organizations whose missions intersect with that of the Alliance including the Arts Education Partnership, the National Art Education Association, the National Council of Teachers of English, and the International Network of Schools for the Advancement of Arts Education. Alliance Executive Director B. J. Adler, chaired the Communications Committee for the Arts Education Partnership, where she is also a member of the Steering Committee. The AEP Communications Committee works to create strong messages about the value of arts education for key constituents and for the general public. Alliance Associate Director Chuck Wentzel served on the Board of Directors of the International Network of Schools for the Advancement of Arts Education. In October 2005, Alliance staff members Edwin Torres, Chuck Wentzel, and B.J. Adler attended the Arts Education Partnership Forum in Charleston, SC. The theme of the forum was Arts Education and The Creative Economy. Representatives of arts education organizations from 32 states and the District of Columbia participated and celebrated the AEP’s 10th anniversary. The Alliance made available original work by nationally recognized young artists for presentations to the founders of the Arts Education Partnership including Richard Deasy, Jane Alexander, Richard Riley and Scott Peterson. In November 2005, the Alliance presented a panel discussion on peer review workshops at the NCTE conference in Pittsburg, moderated by former Associate Director Chuck Wentzel and featuring Scholastic Writing Awards alumni Lauren Fraley, Hannah Jones, and Bryan Doerries (currently Senior Manager, National Programs).
