Secretary of Arts


Quincy Jones (right) recently made a comment that the next time he talked with Barack Obama it would be to suggest the establishment of a cabinet level position for the arts. Can you imagine - a cabinet level position in support of arts and culture? Maybe we could see support for arts in public schools - what a novel concept - and a whole new twist on whole child education.

What do you think - Secretary of Arts and Culture? See the op-ed piece in the NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/27/opinion/27ferris.html?_r=2

I agree that there sould be more emphasis on for the Arts in schools. It's a well know fact that the Arts transcend to better Math & Science scores.
