Art and the President


There has been some discussion about the impact of the Obama administration on the arts. Because we have a President who is cultured, appreciates music, writes books, and surrounds himself with many artistic individuals, we are optimistic.

I believe government taking a bigger role in supporting the arts would be a good thing. Additional funding for National Endowment for the Arts would be great. Investing in art education by sending organizations in to low-income areas to introduce art,and expanding art programs in schools are a few of the things I think this new administration is capable of doing.

There are a lot of important issues being discussed in Washington today. Let’s hope no one, especially a President from Chicago, forgets about the importance of art.

You can find some art books, exhibition catalogs and local history books and magazine back issues at Nella’s Books and Collectibles.
