Some really promising statements from newly nominated @NEAarts chair. We’re likely to be hearing a lot more about how arts/artists contribute to individual well-being, economic impact, and healthy communities.
Exciting @NEAarts news today with @POTUS nomination of the extraordinary Dr. Maria Rosario Jackson to be our next Chair! arts.gov/about/news/2021/dr-…
