About me:

Americans for the Arts is the nation's leading nonprofit organization for advancing the arts in America. With 45 years of service, we are dedicated to representing and serving local communities and creating opportunities for every American to participate in and appreciate all forms of the arts.

The Arts. Ask for More.

Why Ask For More?
Just like kids need to have good nutrition on a daily basis, kids need to have their daily serving of the arts. Chances are, though, that your kids are not getting enough art—in or out of school. The arts are much more than just fun "extra" activities for kids. Studies have shown the far-reaching benefits of an arts education.

Americans for the Arts Updates
Americans for the Arts has just posted a round up of 2009 Arts Advocacy Day events online, including a video of Wynton Marsalis giving the Nancy Hanks Lecture at the Kennedy Center. The round up gives a good overview of the Congressional Arts Breakfast, the Congressional Hearing (called The Arts=Jobs) by the House Appropriations Subcommittee on the Interior, and the Nancy Hanks Lecture.

If you haven’t yet seen Wynton Marsalis’ heartfelt and thoughtful discussion of music, art, history, culture, and jazz, you owe it to yourself to spend a little time and take a look. The lecture is interspersed with short musical pieces by Wynton and members of Jazz at Lincoln Center and ends with a crowd-stirring musical performance.
