"As we reflect on the pain and anguish that our nation has felt over the last several days, weeks, and even months, we are reminded that the arts are a powerful and important part of what unites us as Americans. The arts celebrate our differences through a collective, shared experience."
--
National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Mary Anne Carter
