A world without art
Do you like art? Have you ever been empowered/transformed by a play, a dance, a movie, a book, a musical piece, a picture, a painting? Do you believe people should have access to great art? I believe so.
To quote the first president of our nation, "“The Arts and Sciences, essential to the prosperity of the State and to the ornament of human life, have a primary claim to the encouragement of every lover of his country and mankind.”
That prosperity to foster a nation of arts is in jeopardy as #45 has proposed to eliminate theNational Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
I don't care what your politics are but we must protect this essential and innate part of our society.
Just look around your house and imagine no books, no music, no painting, no ornaments, no sculptures....Chuck them all because that's what we saying if we allow for the elimination of those institutions- institutions that support the writers, musicians, actors, sculptors, painters and all the artists making art today for new generations of Americans.
