It looks as if there's going to be a $50 million arts appropriation in Obama's "recovery" plan! The arts community is so used to being shunted, that this recognition seems downright shocking. For us? Not just crumbs?
Music producer Quincy Jones has been spearheading a campaign to urge President Elect Obama to appoint a Secretary of the Arts or Culture within his administration (this is just one of the recommendations put forward in the Arts Policy in the New Administration ). You can see Jones discuss the need for this position in an interview from last December and sign the online petition to show your support.
