"The arts not only enrich community, the arts are community. Perhaps better than all other symbols, the arts cut across separations; they give rise to many voices, making it possible for people who are racially, economically and ethnically divided to begin to understand one another on a more authentic level. The arts connect each new generation to those that have gone before. The arts are society's gift to itself; linking hope to memory, inspiring courage and discipline, enriching our celebrations, making our tragedies bearable."
