October is National Arts and Humanities Month, a coast-to-coast celebration of the arts and culture in America.

It?s also a wonderful opportunity for arts organizations and specifically the Art. Ask for More. PSA outreach partners to secure donated media time to run these arts education ads. This month-long celebration originally grew out of National Arts Week, which was begun in 1985 by the National Endowment for the Arts and Americans for the Arts and has now become the largest annual celebration of the arts and humanities in the nation.
