NEW YORK, March 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In today's rapidly evolving world, access to arts education is more essential than ever. While STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math) often receive the bulk of attention in schools, the arts remain a crucial pillar in shaping well-rounded individuals and creative thinkers. Yet, many students and communities face barriers to accessing quality arts education. In its 'Investing in Arts Education' campaign, which launches today in LA Times and online, Mediaplanet unites leading artists and arts educators to discuss the importance of music, theater, and creativity, and how the nation can increase access to this critical resource.
The benefits of arts education extend far beyond creativity. It fosters critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and communication skills that are vital in nearly every profession. Furthermore, involvement in the arts promotes personal expression, cultural awareness, and builds confidence—qualities that are indispensable in today's society. Despite its proven impact, arts programs across the nation continue to face underfunding and limited access, with schools often unable to provide adequate resources or support.
Emmy- and Tony Award-winning actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth graces the cover of 'Investing in Arts Education.' In an exclusive interview, she shares why it's important for students to participate in the arts and have access to programs like her Broadway Bootcamp. 'If you can't see yourself doing anything else [other than working in the performing arts] and being happy, then you're in the right field,' Chenoweth says. 'I always warn my students, 'If you want to become famous for fame's sake, I can't help you. If you want to learn your craft and hone it, that's when true success will come.' '
The print component of 'Investing in Arts Education' is distributed in today's edition of LA Times. The digital component is distributed nationally, through a vast social media strategy, and across a network of top news sites and partner outlets.
