“The arts are not a frill.”

“The arts are a response to our individuality and our nature, and help to shape our identity. What is there that can transcend deep difference and stubborn division? The arts. They have a wonderful universality. Art has the potential to unify. It can speak in many languages without a translator. The arts do not discriminate. The arts lift us up.”

— Barbara Jordan
