Without the arts we are machines. We have no individuality without creativity and to stifle that in us and our children is horrific. When will government realize that our future as a world depends upon more creative thinking, beauty, and understanding rather than $$$, and conformity. My children will always be exposed to the arts even if they cannot get it in school.

Great article and info, thank you so much for sharing!!! As someone who was "laid off" in the arts/culture field, I really appreciate you spreading the word. Arts education is vital to any personal development, no matter what age, and is often overlooked, yet is so important to our culture and society.

Nationally, the nonprofit arts and culture industry generates $166.2 billion (with a B!) in economic activity every year—$63.1 billion in spending by organizations (employees and services) and an additional $103.1 billion in event-related spending by their audiences. here's how that impacts local and state governments... http://bit.ly/IRliy (this report should be handed to every congressman in the country). Great post, Tara.

Nick,

Thank you SO much for the additional info!
