ACSO Celebrates National Arts & Humanities Month 2022 By Highlighting Our Members' October Concerts
ACSO joins thousands of arts organizations and communities across the nation to recognize October as National Arts & Humanities Month (NAHM). NAHM is coordinated by Americans for the Arts, the national organization working to empower communities with the resources and support necessary to provide access to all of the arts for all of the people. It is a coast-to-coast collective recognition of the importance of art and culture in America during the month of October and was launched more than 30 years ago as National Arts Week in honor of the twentieth anniversary of the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1993, it was reestablished by Americans for the Arts and national arts partners as a month-long celebration with goals of:
- FOCUSING on equitable access to the arts at local, state, and national levels;
- ENCOURAGING individuals, organizations, and diverse communities to participate in the arts;
- ALLOWING governments and businesses to show their support of the arts; and
- RAISING public awareness about the role the arts and humanities play in our communities and lives.
ACSO is participating by compiling and sharing the below list of our members' concerts throughout the month of October. We are thrilled to share a wide variety of concerts and events happening this month from ensembles of all sizes. Scroll down to find a concert near you!
