This document discusses artists in need and the benefits of art. It explores three lines of inquiry: 1) The benefits of arts, citing studies showing improved academic outcomes for low-SES youth involved in arts. 2) Accessibility to arts, noting declines in arts programs in schools with high poverty rates. 3) Efforts to help, like a program providing free dance classes to low-income children. The document examines these topics to bring awareness to the issue of supporting artists.
