It has to be produced by people whose talent and skill are recognized early, nutured, and given room to grow.
Art needs, too, educated audiences to view it, listen to it, and pay for it.
But audiences are created only if we educate our children to understand, appreciate, and make art themselves. And that means arts education. People who don't understand the value of arts, people who aren't committed to a total comprehensive education in this country. People who care only about technical approaches and don't care about feeling and empathy, and humanness and creativity of American citizens. People who make cuts for all the wrong reasons in school budgets.
