Secretary of the Arts!

This is a timely idea. The creation of a cabinet level position to reassert the country's 
commitment to the  arts would be a huge step forward for a country in need of getting
back to the fundamentals of an open society.

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.
