Abstract:

This monograph is essentially a roster of resources for use in developing and supporting school arts programs. The examples sprinkled through the listings are offered in hope of stimulating additional ideas of your own about the people, businesses, organizations, institutions, and alliances that might be utilized in an arts program in your schools. We have tried in this brief account to provide an introduction to the publications, agencies, organizations, and resources that might be consulted first by anyone - teacher, parent, administrator, student, school board member - involved in the early stages of developing an expanded school arts program. To veteran arts administrators and grants specialists, the suggestions may seem rudimentary. The catalogue is offered , however, as a starting point for those not yet connected with the growing network of individuals around the nation who believe strongly in the importance of school arts programs.

Most of the resources cited lead directly to additional resources. For instance, nearly all of the organizations produce newsletters and other publications. The books contain bibliographies and other leads to more information.

While this guide focuses on state and national resources, it cannot be over-emphasized that the strongest and most enduring support for your program can come from within your own community. Only those who live in a community can identify its unique resources. This guide points to the types of local institutions and people who have participated in other successful arts education programs. (p. 5)
