Dear Administrator,

Thank you for visiting the Exploring Arts Careers website. You lead a busy
life with unfathomable responsibility and are certainly demonstrating your
caring spirit for your students and their future by being a part of this
exploration.

Within our website, we are striving to provide a tool, which will help students,
parents, and teachers learn about the myriad of possibilities in arts-related
careers.

Employers are looking for people who are creative. Within your school, you
are offering courses, which help students learn about their creativity, as well as
factual and historical information. Imagine all of the benefits of our society
enjoys because someone was a creative thinker. Thank you.

Please take a look at the “Bank of Careers” within the website. It is amazing
how many careers fall under the umbrella of the Arts. There are probably
hundreds of students, walking around your campus each day, who will be
involved in an arts-related career, as an adult.

Feel free to “take the tour” along with the students. We are providing candid
information from folks who work in these specialized fields. Middle School
students will find the possibilities very interesting. Thank you for helping them
to dream.

Thank you for your support of the Arts in your school. You are making a
difference!

Sincerely,

Andrea L. Tobin
