"Arts, like architecture and design, teach us to imagine and create a future all of us can share." A passionate call for arts education from starchitect Frank Gehry and advocate Malissa Feruzzi Shriver in Time magazine:

Some news: I'm in the National Guard and I've been ordered to attend training out-of-state from Oct 25 - Nov 14. That means I won't be allowed to campaign for the rest of the election. So I'm handing my campaign over to my wife, Marisa. She's our closer. And she's gonna rock.

@JeffJacksonNC We’ve got this, Marisa! Tell me how to help.

Good morning, Charlotte. In this morning's newsletter, @michaelngraff wrote about artist Dari Calamari, an Air Force veteran who painted the R on the Black Lives Matter mural Uptown. Now, she wants to paint all the streets.
