Dr. Jackson the @NEAArtsChair said at our event today: "the arts are most powerful when...they are woven into the fabric of lives." That's why she champions art + health, arts + infrastructure, education, economic development etc. "People don't live in sectors or siloes!"

For the arts, "it's a time of planning, a time of action and reflection all at the same time" @NEAArtsChair Maria Rosario Jackson told us today. "I'm mindful of the challenges that lie ahead but I'm extremely positive...now is the time to dream big and not stay in our lanes."
