This is our campaign to highlight the value of art in our schools. The four statements, which are currently plastered on billboards across London, speak to our concerns that art is being squeezed out of the school curriculum and devalued as a subject, all at a time when the need for creative and divergent thinking has never been greater. If you think imagination is worth teaching, share this campaign and add your support below. Art is a serious subject. https://roy.ac/746us0l6
