SUMMARY:IVfME Webinar: Demystifying Culturally Responsive Music Education

DESCRIPTION:FREE To the Public!

We will explore the key components of the framework for Culturally Responsive Music Education as well as practical strategies for implementation.   \nParticipants will leave the session with greater clarity about steps they can take in their own music programs and resources for further exploration allowing them to move towards cultivating affirming learning environments and engaging instruction that meets the diverse and ever-evolving needs of today’s learners.

SUMMARY:Arts NC Webinar: What the Federal is Happening?
DESCRIPTION:The news from Washington DC over the last two months has been… well… a lot. There are many questions about how these changes will affect artists and arts organizations. While many of those questions simply do not (yet) have answers\, well-considered and informed decisions are preferable to acting in haste. \nJoin Arts NC Executive Director Nate McGaha on Wednesday\, March 26th at 11:00am for “What the Federal is Happening?!?” as he reviews the latest information about Executive Orders and Actions and how they affect the arts including the National Endowment for the Arts\, National Endowment for the Humanities\, Institute of Museum and Library Services\, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and more. \nRegister here:  https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/z6jMNfTqQbiyWaEv3bkGWg#/registration \nRegistration is limited to 100 people\, but we will also be streaming the webinar live on the Arts NC Facebook page. \n@artsnorthcarolina @ARTSNC #musiceducation #musicadvocacy #deia #SupportArts #SupportArtsEducation #NCArts #NCArtists #NCArt
