Arts Advocacy

KTA strongly believes that arts education is essential to a child's development and that arts funding is integral to developing a healthy society. Therefore, arts advocacy is a foundational part of the continuing mission of KTA.

Becoming a member of KTA adds your voice to this statewide network of artists, educators, and theatre professionals with the passion and drive to fight for continued access to arts education, additional funding opportunities, and support of arts institutions throughout the state.

"I see little of more importance to the future of our country and our civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him."

--President John F. Kennedy, Remarks at Amherst College, October 26, 1963
