What can we do with unemployed artists and art-starved children?
In all the buzz of the recent election, the references to a second New Deal are abundant. So, in the spirit of FDR, let’s solve opposing needs by uniting them. Artist and promoter Michael David Nolan proposes we start a National Campaign to Hire Artists to Work in Schools. The idea is as simple as it sounds: use federal job stimulus money to employ artists in schools for educational advancement and cultural enrichment.
