FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 21,
2008
Partners
for Arts Education Receives Support
from Senator Valesky
Partners
for Arts Education (PAE) is honored
to receive support for technology
upgrades from New York State Senator
David Valesky. He has helped secure
$5000 to help meet the increased
demand for PAE’s
services to all schools in Central
New York as well as New York State.
The
funds will be used to support upgraded
web access for PAE’s
constituents, including educators,
cultural organizations, and teaching
artists, who use PAE’s website
(www.arts4ed.org) to make connections
to partners, stay informed about
news and opportunities in the field,
and to apply for grants for professional
development and for partnerships
between teachers and artists or cultural
organizations.
Senator
Valesky stated, “"The
arts play a critical role in the
education of our children, a role
that is too often overlooked. That
why I am so pleased to do what I
can to help provide state support
to Partners for Arts Education so
that they can continue the great
programs offered to the community."
Partners for Arts Education is a
Syracuse-based not-for-profit that provides
funding and support to deepen and
enrich educational experiences in
and through the arts for students,
teachers and artists. Through the
New York State Council on the Arts,
it has administered grants totaling
over $195,000 to schools in Central
New York since 2001, and over $766,000
to schools statewide since 2002.
It also hosts the state arts-in-education
annual conference and provides professional
support to the field.
###
