Arts + Social Impact: Housing
It's no surprise that having art in a neighborhood instills community pride and increases property values—but did you know the arts can also help people understand their housing rights better? Explore all the ways the arts and housing intersect in our Arts + Social Impact Explorer. Take it for a spin at AmericansForTheArts.org/socialimpact
Arts + Social Impact: Immigration
More than half of Americans see how the arts and cultural practices of immigrants improve the entire community’s quality of life. And research shows that exposure to other cultural experiences encourages empathy, improves mental health, and increases trust.
Learn more about the intersection of immigration and the arts at AmericansForTheArts.org/socialimpact.
It wouldn't be the National Arts Awards without the arts! YoungArts alumni toasted the Ted Arison Young Artist Award honoree, musician Ben Platt, with a performance of “You Will Be Found,” his signature song from @dearevanhansen. @bensplatt #youwillbefound @youngarts @saraharison @jakegoldbas #nationalartsawards
Arts + Social Impact: Community Development
Why is it so important to integrate the arts with the places where we live and work? Among (many!) other benefits, bringing the arts into a community increases property values, decreases crime, and improves children’s test scores. Take the Arts + Social Impact Explorer for a spin to see lots of different ways the arts make our communities stronger! AmericansForTheArts.org/socialimpact

C.A.M.M.O. — Healing Through Song
If you're watching America's Got Talent this season, you're probably a fan of Voices of Service, the singing quartet of active duty soldiers and veterans. We've gotten to know them and their fellow military musicians at Cammo Center for American Military Music Opportunities over the past year, and their passion for sharing the power of music as a healing therapy is nothing short of inspiring.
We're live on Capitol Hill for #ArtsAdvocacy day! Thank you to Tony Award winner Brian Stokes Mitchell for standing up for the arts.
What's YOUR reason to speak up for the arts? Join us at the National Arts Action Summit 2019 and we'll help you make your story heard. Don't wait—advance registration closes Sunday!
The arts inspire us every day—and you do, too! Thank you for being part of the Americans for the Arts family. Wishing you a creative and joyous new year! #HappyNewYear
