U.S. Department of Arts and Culture

More echoes of the dream in other parts of the world! Have already enlisted as a Citizen Artist as a start to widening the network and dialogue. 😉

I imagine a future where there are cultural centers in every town, arts bodegas on every city block, and a Culture Corps bringing creative engagement to hospitals, schools, prisons, libraries, and beyond. I see story circles held in public places, parades welcoming refugees, and neighborhood artists-in-residence issuing creative calls to action that create opportunities for anyone to experience solidarity and flow.
