Barack Obama has issued a comprehensive statement in support of arts and arts education in the United States.
His campaign position focuses on nine points: Reinvesting in arts education, expanding public grants for arts education, publicly championing arts education, creating an artist corps, increasing funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, promoting cultural diplomacy, providing health care for artists and ensuring tax fairness for artists.
This was an article from artthreat.net from February 2008. It's all words and promises now, but at least we have a president who is interested in art and culture . . .
