The Wisconsin Task Force on Arts and Creativity in Education will hold a public forum from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday at the Viterbo University Ethics Institute board room.

The task force, co-chaired by state Superintendent Elizabeth Burmaster and Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton, is examining state-level policies and local practices to determine their impact on the scope and access to quality arts education opportunities in Wisconsin.
The public is invited to attend the forum and provide input in response to one or more of the following questions:

Where do you most clearly see the value of creativity today?

How can development of children’s creative capacities be integrated across disciplines in the curriculum?

What kinds of partnerships initiated by the private and nonprofit sector interests will help meet a community’s need for expanded arts and creativity in education?

Can you describe a successful classroom or workplace program that teaches art and/or develops creative capacities?

To allow as many people as possible the opportunity to speak, speakers will be limited to three minutes.

Members of the public will not be required to register in advance but will need to register upon arrival.
