This week I am being asked to consider this passage. Maybe you would like to do the same?

So for anyone that has recently told me that funding would cease but he wouldn’t try to actually change or influence what is art and culture should take note.

NEA Throws Out Grant Program for Underserved Communities The NEA announced that it is scrapping its Challenge America grants and focusing on projects related to the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Don't forget to join us at PCA&D on Sunday for a fun afternoon of exploring color and art as a family. We will read the storybook ”Mix it Up” by Hervé Tullet then move into play and art making. 🟡🔴🔵 pcad.edu/events/lanca...
