National Arts and Humanities MonthOctober is National Arts and Humanities Month, and Americans for the Arts has provided a list of 10 simple things parents can do to "get more art into their kids' lives." In the words of President Obama, "our strength as a Nation has always come from our ability to recognize ourselves in each other, and American artists, historians, and philosophers have helped enable us to find our common humanity. Through powerful scenes on pages, canvases, and stages, the arts have spurred our imaginations, lifted our hearts, and united us all without regard to belief or background." Americans for the Arts has also published a listing of National Arts and Humanities Month events around the country. |
