Abstract	The Art Teachers Association of Ireland's (ATAI), #"stateoftheart" campaign worked to persuade Irish policymakers to develop a new curriculum for Leaving Certificate art, reforming the long-outdated 1972 curriculum. Students across the country designed over 3,000 postcards for the Minister for Education and an online petition was signed by 2,500 people. Students and teachers took to the corridors of schools and the streets of their towns to highlight the power of the arts and call for reform. Recently it was announced that a Senior Cycle development group under the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment would be created to address full reform of Leaving Certificate Art. This article will examine the context and rationale for the #"stateoftheart" campaign drawing on the images and voices of students and teachers. (As Provided).
