In 2020 MAAE began organizing Advocacy Day in collaboration with the ABC (Arts are Basic Coalition), representing the Maine Music Educators Association, the Maine Art Education Association, the Maine Educational Theatre Association and Maine Dance Educators. The ABC Coalition since 2019 also includes our ABC Student Leadership Group (SLG), a group of exemplary arts students from around the state, which has been helping us organize teams of student arts advocates, who will be meeting with their legislators.
We are just wrapping up a wonderful week of uplifting arts education in Maine!
