RESEARCH-BASED COMMUNICATION TOOL KIT
Researched-Based Communication Tool Kit
The Research-Based Communication Tool Kit is a comprehensive document that brings together several components that advocates can use at state and local levels. Each component is research-based, drawing on careful reviews and analyses of research literature that confirm, explain and clarify the role of the arts in various significant policy contexts. The sample materials in the Tool Kit, prepared by a working committee of State Arts Agency Arts Education Managers, are meant to be "boilerplate" so that arts advocates can adapt them to their contexts and needs, quickly creating targeted, personalized advocacy messages.
A message to state arts agencies
