In response to feedback from Albertans, Alberta Education has extended the timeline for response to the Draft K–12 Arts Education Curriculum Framework to January 31, 2010. The framework is available in English in the Fine Arts section and in French in the Beaux-arts section of the Alberta Education Web site.
