In her first interview as @NEAArtsChair, Jackson says she will approach this position with the goal of expanding the reach of the #arts, strengthening communities & bringing the promise of art to every corner of America. @NEAarts @NEAArtsChairMRJ https://t.co/nsyErRk34G

"The arts are the opposite of a diversion from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life." Great read by @arthurbrooks in @TheAtlantic on the importance of art in our daily lives! https://t.co/8dP6Lq001W

Education Commissioner Heather Mueller says Gov. Walz’s proposed supplemental budget would increase per pupil aid to schools by a full 2% — something virtually unheard of especially in non-budget years. Plus wrap-around supports.

[Alex Sarian @alexsarian]

As we think about the future of vibrant cities, let’s not forget that the arts have an impact on the economy, education, life long learning, community development, infrastructure, livability & so much more. We’re not just the icing—we’re the cake. (Thx @jonHinojosa for the pic!)

Art can be many things—but it starts as work. “Art is Work,” a new report from @americanacad, acknowledges the important place of artists as part of the American workforce and proposes support for the creative economy. #ArtIsWork https://t.co/aT1QsLu4eS

A hopeful New Year's message from Amanda Gorman.

“Tethered by this year of yearning, we are learning, that though we weren’t ready for this, we have been readied by this.”

Thank you @TheAmandaGorman.
