Welcome to SOFA, otherwise known as Save Our Fine Arts. Thanks for checking out our website!

We are an organization that was set up in response to Alberta Education’s proposed changes to our Fine Arts Curriculum. A group of 31 parents, students, educators and other fine arts industry officials make up the SOFA Committee. If you are interested in becoming a part of our committee, please send a note to saveourfinearts@gmail.com.

By doing this you are adding your name to a growing list of concerned parents, students, arts educators and professional artists from all corners of Alberta and Canada. We’ve even got a number of people who have registered from the United States.

Hi SOFA,
You guys need to know about us! I am the President of the Society of Educational Resource Groups (SERG). SERG is a network of educators offering curriculum-based programs in Southern Alberta. These are things like visiting artists programs, field trips etc… Arts education cuts affect us greatly, especially because the majority of our members are from non-profit organizations such as museums, art galleries, theatre groups, outdoor education sites etc…
We have a website (www.sergalberta.org)that will tell you more about our members and the programs we offer. It has a blog for your feedback. We also have a Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/pages/Calgary-AB/Society-of-Educational-Resource-Groups-SERG-Alberta/137451298774

Keep up the great work and let us know if there is any way we can collaborate–your teachers need to know about us too!

Have you ever considered adding more videos to your blog posts to keep the readers more entertained? I mean I just read through the entire article of yours and it was quite good but since I’m more of a visual learner
