So glad to hear this from Bernie. I remember a resurgence of Arts Appreciation in the 70's and early 80's before Reagan. We had Theater in the Park, Art Shows and Festivals, Music Events, Craft Fairs and Art and Music was still emphasized as a part of our Public Schools.
Funding has been drastically cut by Repubs and an emphasis at the Presidential level is so important.
Go Bernie!
