A study of New Jersey public and charter schools released earlier this month showed that in the 2017/2018 school year, 100 percent of students had access to some form of arts education (visual arts, music, dance and/or theater) in their school, with 81 percent of them participating in some type of school arts program. The milestone marks the achievement of a goal set by a partnership of arts associations and educators, now known as Arts Ed NJ. This Saturday (9/21 at 7 pm) A Tempo host Rachel Katz takes a look at the numbers and the state of arts and music education in New Jersey in conversations with Arts Ed NJ director Bob Morrison and New Jersey Music Educators Association President Patrick O'Keefe.
