October is National Arts and Humanities Month

Guys,
I don't know about you, but I believe Americans are really beginning to forget the value of the arts. We don't have time for theatre, literature, dance, and the like, any more. We want big action packed movies, 30 minute tv dramas, and reality shows. But let us not forget that we have to keep the arts flourishing lest we become hardened drones. Do what you can to get your kids involved in the arts; promote the arts whenever possible. See a play and turn off the television and read, even if for only 30 minutes a day.



What is National Arts and Humanities Month?
"National Arts and Humanities Month (NAHM) is a coast-to-coast collective celebration of culture in America. Held every October and coordinated by Americans for the Arts, it has become the largest annual celebration of the arts and humanities in the nation. From arts center open houses to mayoral proclamations to banners and media coverage, communities across the United States join together to recognize the importance of arts and culture to citizen's daily lives," according to the Web site: http://www.americansforthearts.org/get_involved/advocacy/nahm/default.asp
