This week Iowa caucus goers cast their first votes for President, and primary voters in New Hampshire get their chance on January 8. And like the candidates, the Americans for the Arts Action Fund has been busy building support for the arts and arts education through the ArtsVote initiative. The initiative is dedicated to making sure that the presidential candidates make on-the-record statements in support of the arts and arts education.
On Nov. 29, the Arts Action Fund and ArtsVoteNH hosted a statewide Arts Policy Forum at the Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord, NH. The event, a first of its kind, allowed New Hampshire voters who support the arts, arts education, cultural diplomacy, and the creative economy to learn about how the presidential candidates support the arts, and hear from and ask questions by campaign representatives. Robert L. Lynch, president and CEO of the Arts Action Fund, welcomed the audience at the Arts Policy Forum and provided an overview of the ArtsVote initiative. His remarks are included in the video below. And check back for more video highlights from the Arts Policy Forum.

A letter-to-the-editor from Bob Lynch was recently published on the New York Times website.
The letter calls for a reunification in the debate among arts education professionals about which benefits of arts education should be researched by scientists, designed for by providers, and touted by advocates.
Guest blogger Nick Rabkin has also offered his thoughts.
