Carmen Fariña: "The Essential Role of the Arts in Public Education"

Museums and cultural institutions are critical partners in developing the whole child through high-quality arts instruction. Chancellor Fariña discusses essential reasons why the arts must be integrated into public education and highlights innovative approaches to expanding arts education for New York City's 1.1 million public school students. The annual Samuel H. Kress Lecture in Museum Education is intended to further the study, understanding, and practice of museum education.
