This volume aims to generate new ideas and provoke discussion about arts education in the twenty-first century, both within institutions and beyond. It is designed for educators teaching the arts from early childhood to tertiary level, community artists, and those studying arts in education at various academic levels. The book explores what distinguishes the 'arts' in education and examines two educational philosophies regarding the purpose of the arts today. Drawing on Gert Biesta's work, it questions the relationship between the arts and society, envisioning the kind of future we desire. The second philosophical perspective, influenced by Deleuze and Guattari, delves into how art, artists, and the roles of the state and global capital shape art education. This text offers educators innovative ways to engage with various artistic disciplines, including art, music, dance, drama, and film studies. In a time when many educators seek to reaffirm the significance of the arts in education, the book provides valuable insights through case studies and in-depth arguments from leading academics in arts, philosophy, and education.
