According to a May 28^th article published by The Atlantic titled, "The Country's Cultural Capital Has a Big Arts-Education Problem," low income areas in NYC look to cut out art education because of tight budgets.  Many public schools in south Bronx and central Brooklyn suffer from this problem and most of these schools don't have a certified art teacher. 

Andrew Girard, a representative at ArtSchools.com, a directory of art schools in Florida recognizes the impact art education has on your life.  "Every student, no matter the neighborhood he or she is from, not only deserve, but needs art education," Girard says.  "In a gigantic, ever-changing world, it has become increasingly important for children to learn how to diversify themselves.  Art may not be your forte, but it can open other doors for other experiences that you may not have ever imagined you could be interested in."

Girard stresses the importance of art education at all ages.  "Building the foundation in elementary, middle, and high-school is what can make all the difference in your path of life," he explains. "Starting at the beginning with the basic platform of art education can potentially lead you to a career you may have never even dreamed of."
