U.S. Department of Arts and Culture

It's a great honor to have been selected as one of the founding Cultural Agents for the new U.S. Department of Arts and Culture. Later this summer, Lawrence, KS will help launch the USDAC with a major event - stay tuned. Here is our declaration -

culture is created by all and thus should represent all;

cultural diversity is a social good and the wellspring of free expression;

a deep investment in creativity is critical to cultivating empathy and social imagination;

art and artists are powerful forces for accomplishing social change and strengthening social fabric;

WE, THE PEOPLE, DO HEREBY CREATE

THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND CULTURE

TOGETHER, WE CREATE.
