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.
