Abstract	This article presents the author's review of the "President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, Reinvesting in Arts Education: Winning America's Future Through Creative Schools." In May 2011, the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH) released a report calling for a reinvestment by communities and schools in arts education. This call makes an assumption that an initial investment had been made, and that assumption might be seriously questioned in many areas of the country. Nonetheless, PCAH argues that all children should have access to arts education as part of a complete education. In this review, the author highlights and critiques the research basis for the PCAH argument while also identifying the other themes of the report. These included a collaborative approach to arts education that promotes the inclusion and use of teaching artists and calls for integrating the arts with other disciplines. Besides making the argument using key research studies, the report makes an economic case for arts education. Closely related to the economic case is the drive for accountability, which means a drive to measure outcomes. The author considers the positives and negatives of such a move in arts education. In closing, he poses an idea to readers to consider that access to arts education as part of a general education is a matter of civil rights. (Contains 1 note.) (ERIC).
