Senate Joint Resolution 42, sponsored by Lowe, aims to commemorate "Arts in Education Week" in Tennessee from March 2-8, 2025. The resolution emphasizes the importance of arts education, which encompasses various disciplines such as dance, music, theatre, and visual arts, as a vital component of a well-rounded education. It highlights how arts education fosters critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and cross-cultural understanding, ultimately contributing to students' academic success, increased attendance and graduation rates, and personal growth outside the classroom.

The resolution also notes that while a significant percentage of students have access to arts instruction, there are still gaps in enrollment and access to both music and visual arts as mandated by state policy. It underscores Tennessee's commitment to providing equitable access to quality education that includes the arts, recognizing their integral role in enhancing community vibrancy and preparing students for future success. The resolution calls for collaboration among arts education professionals to showcase the transformative power of the arts during this designated week.
