Secretary of the Arts position

Friends,

You may already have received this but I'm passing it along just in case.

Quincy Jones has started a petition to ask President-Elect 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.

P.S. Sorry for the delay in posting. I need to update the Ae blog more and will hopefully have some help with that soon. We'll be updating it with Ae and arts-related news. Lots of exciting structural stuffs happening at Ae. :) More info on that will be coming.
