Arts Advocate

For me I feel like it will be hard to know how I will advocate for the arts in my community, because every school and community is different and everyone will respond to what you do in different ways.
Something that I feel I will try to do no matter where I am is create a website that will display the students' work. This will allow family members and other students to see what we are doing and how it relates to social issues or school involvement, or just self expression. I feel that this will also give the students a certain sense of exposure and celebrity without being too focusing (some people really don't like all that attention).
I also want to display as much art as I can around the school and community as possible. I know its hard to find space, but if you can get "in" with coffee shop owners or small businesses, you can convince them to display your students work where many different people can see it.
I really have a soft spot (or maybe I should say strong spot) for social issues and art. This can be a way in itself for me to be an advocate for the arts, allowing the students to share their feelings about certain issues through image or form letting the community know that art can be just as impressive as social sciences or English when it comes to getting students to learn and care about more than just "typical" teen issues.
