Certainly, most people agree that art is an important part of any education. The New York Alliance for Arts Education serves educators, artists, administrators or art organizations, parents and others. They give out information to help individuals, organizations, and schools to create arts programs, to get funding, and to have standards of excellence. They advocate for arts education at the local, state and national levels.
This is one example of the many organizations and programs that New York has to offer and the type of art education that Jason Konior applaudes.
