Quincy Jones has started a petition to ask President Obama to appoint a Secretary of the Arts. While many other countries have had Ministers of Art or Culture for centuries, the United States has never created such a position. We in the arts need this and the country needs the arts –now more than ever. Please take a moment to sign this important petition and then pass it on to your friends and colleagues.
