The Obama Effect On The Arts
NPR- Audio Story 8 mins
When esteemed cellist Yo Yo Ma and violinist Izhak Perlman took the stage at President Obama's inauguration, some people saw this as more than just the prelude to a new administration. They saw it as a new beginning for arts in America.
Continuing our series on the Obama effect on America, we examine the President's policy on the arts.
For insight, Tony Cox speaks with Bob Lynch, President of Americans for the Arts, and Leslie King-Hammond, director of the Center for Race and Culture and dean emeritus of graduate studies at Maryland Institute College of Art.
