<br>
You may already have received this, but it is so important, I'm passing it
along.<br>
<br>
Quincy Jones has started a petition to ask President-Elect Obama to
appoint a Secretary of the Arts. While many other countries have had
Ministers of Art or Culture for centuries, The United States has never created
such a position. We in the arts need this and the country needs the
arts--now more than ever. Please take a moment to sign this important
petition and then pass it on to your friends and colleagues.<br>
