Cirque du Soleil's QUIDAM--Arts Integration at Work in OUR Work

We integrate our ARTS disciplines all the time...maybe that's why the STEAM initiative isn't such a threat to us.

A little bit circus, a little bit dance, a little bit concert, a little bit drama all rolled up into one brilliant ARTS piece--Quidam. In this post, you'll find no crunched numbers, no great quotes, no charts or graphs. Just a little bit of inspiration, fun and the art of what we artist's do--making something that isn't easy, look easy. Take a few minutes to enjoy. We recommend Cirque. If you haven't seen QUIDAM, you might just enjoy it.

The NEA Fine Arts Caucus is established:

to promote fine arts and fine arts education in all public schools in the US;
to influence the creation and maintenance of policy responsive to the needs of fine arts educators within the state affiliates and the NEA;
to actively work toward the implementation of policy through participation and influence on the NEA committees and governance bodies;
to provide a mechanism to support candidates for NEA office who will most benefit the cause of furthering Fine Arts Education within the nation;
to provide a mechanism by which NEA fine arts educators and advocates may introduce recommendations, secure support, and initiate action on concerns of fine arts members at the national, state and local level;
to introduce, enact and monitor "pro-arts" new business items, legislative intitiatives and resolutions at the annual NEA RA;
to increase awareness among all educators of the need of fine arts specialists in the regular school program;
to build a base on arts advocates who will work with arts educators to promote the goals of the caucus;
to encourage the establishment of Fine Arts Caucuses at the state and local level of NEA affiliates.
