G20 brings Some Awareness to the Importance of The Arts

The Obama’s and many other world leaders are in Pittsburgh for the G20 Summit today. Michelle took the spouses to the City of Pittsburgh arts magnet school – CAPA. Here is the link to the transcript of the event.

Here’s one of the great quotes from Michelle as well -
We believe strongly that the arts aren't somehow an "extra" part of our national life, but instead we feel that the arts are at the heart of our national life. It is through our music, our literature, our art, drama and dance that we tell the story of our past and we express our hopes for the future. Our artists challenge our assumptions in ways that many cannot and do not. They expand our understandings, and push us to view our world in new and very unexpected ways.
