(AGENPARL) – HEMPSTEAD (NEW YORK) mer 15 marzo 2023

Karen T. Albert, director of the Hofstra University Museum of Art, is pleased to announce her participation in the newly-formed Long Island Arts Education Coalition (LIAEC), an initiative of Long Island Arts Alliance.

LIAEC is comprised of a network of individuals from Nassau and Suffolk Counties dedicated to advancing arts education on Long Island and in New York State. Albert joins an impressive group of arts administrators, arts educators, college and university leaders, and state agency representatives aimed at building capacity within and across the arts education field. Chaired by Regent Roger Tilles, LIAEC will advocate to advance policy change in ways that benefit all youth on Long Island.

The LIAEC has been established to join the growing number of regional and statewide coalitions designed to ensure that local legislators and the governor are aware of the essential need for every school to provide opportunities for kids to express themselves through study in the arts.

“I am pleased to join with other arts leaders,” said Albert, “to speak as a united voice to ensure that Long Island students receive equitable and accessible arts education. For many years the Hofstra University Museum of Art has partnered with local school districts to provide educational programming in the visual arts.”

The LIAEC will work to develop systems and infrastructure that expand and sustain accessible arts education for all students, of all ages, within all 125 public school districts. It will focus on building and strengthening partnerships and collaborations between schools and arts and culture programs led by local arts organizations and artists.
