Robert
L. Lynch, president and CEO of Americans for the Arts and national
coordinator of Arts and Humanities month, says “The arts and humanities
play an important role in our lives year-round. Now is the
chance
to recognize and celebrate the positive impact the arts bring to our
schools and communities."
National
Arts and Humanities Month is coordinated by Americans for the Arts, the
national organization working to empower communities with the resources
and support necessary to provide access to all of the arts for all of
the people. This month-long celebration grew out of National Arts Week,
which was begun in 1985 by the National Endowment for the Arts and
Americans for the Arts. With 45 years of service, Americans for the
Arts is dedicated to representing and serving local communities and
creating opportunities for every American to participate in and
appreciate all forms of the arts.

National
Disability Employment Awareness Month
The
President of the United States has signed a proclamation (below)
declaring October National Disability Employment Awareness Month. The
Division of Cultural Affairs encourages you to take this opportunity to
learn more about how people with disabilities contribute to our work
force both nationwide and in Florida's cultural community as
administrators and artists.
VSA
Arts of Florida offers a "Careers in the Arts" Program that encourages
persons with disabilities to pursue careers in the arts. At
the
link below you can access the VSA Publication, "Putting Creativity to
Work: Careers in the Arts for People with Disabilities." This
is
a great resource to learn more about the possibility for careers in the
arts for people with disabilities. It gives practical advice
and
provides many resources to encourage people with disabilities to pursue
these careers. http://www.vsafl.org/Employment/
You can also visit the
VSA Arts of Florida Artist Registry
to see the wide array of working artists with disabilities who make up
this diverse and impressive registry. Biographical information on the
artists is also available along with contact information. The link for
the registry is: http://vsafl.org/Artists/list.php.
