EVERY
ART CLASSROOM
We created Art Affects All of Us to thank art educators who inspire creativity, curiosity, and confidence in their students every day — and to give every classroom a chance to reflect on how art inspires connection and expression.
This project goes beyond the student artist. It’s designed for all art classes, giving every student a simple and meaningful way to explore what art means to them.
Through this holiday Instagram campaign, we have a unique opportunity to raise significant scholarship funding for the SACSN High School Art Awards — powered by Meta, music royalties, and benefactor matching.
By posting artwork that inspires them — paired with the campaign song Art Affects All of Us "Feel It" (available in the Instagram Music Catalog via mobile or tablet) — teachers and students help generate Meta-paid music royalties, matched by benefactors to multiply every contribution.
Listen Now - Art Affects All of Us
At the heart of the campaign is the song by Art Affects All of Us "Feel It".
a feel-good, dance-pop anthem that blends culture, rhythm, and inspiration. Featuring Simon de Pury’s distinctive spoken message — “Art Affects All of Us” — and the award-winning vocals of Billboard #1 artist Dee Robert, the track celebrates how creativity connects people everywhere. Together, Simon and Dee have pledged 100% of all streaming and download royalties in perpetuity to support the High School Art Awards scholarship fund.
Five full-length versions of the track are available in the Instagram Music Catalog, giving creators the freedom to choose and edit any part of the song that best fits their post, story, or reel.
Every Stream. Every Download. Every Share. Funds Dreams.

If your school has a no-social-media policy, email each photo and caption to kylie@sacsn.org, and we will post it on the official @artaffectsallofus account for credit — listing only the high school name (no student names or photos).
Every submission is counted, verified, and contributes to the scholarship fund — no social media required.
Purpose
Art Affects All of Us is a national creative campaign that gives students a thoughtful way to express what art means to them while earning community service hours and supporting the scholarship fund for high school artists.
Students share one artwork that inspires them and write a short reflection about its impact. Through that single act, they practice:
-
Critical Thinking – interpreting meaning and emotional impact
-
Visual Literacy – analyzing composition and storytelling
-
Creative Communication – writing concise, expressive captions
-
Civic Engagement – understanding how art and music can drive positive change
Each verified post supports the High School Art Awards Scholarship Fund through royalties from “Feel It” by Art Affects All of Us, paid by Meta and matched by benefactors to multiply every contribution.
