Florida Seal of Fine Arts Program

This bill establishes the Florida Seal of Fine Arts Program within the Department of Education to acknowledge high school graduates who achieve exemplary results in fine arts courses. With the aim to encourage student proficiency in the visual and performing arts, the Seal of Fine Arts is awarded to students who meet certain criteria beginning with the 2024-2025 school year. Eligible students must have a standard high school diploma, complete three year-long fine arts courses with grades of "A" or higher, and accomplish two additional benchmarks, such as completing advanced coursework, participating in a juried event, volunteering for arts-related services, or being recognized for an original work of art.
