United through the Arts: We could all use a little of this.
Michael Kaiser has been ambitious since the day he took the reins at Washington's Kennedy Center. "For the past three years, Kaiser, who volunteers as a cultural ambassador with the U.S. State Department, has helped arts organizations in other countries improve their planning, marketing and fundraising, and he has brought artists from Iraq, China and elsewhere to the U.S... He and the Kennedy Center have focused their training efforts in countries that are 'in transition and in trouble' -- including Pakistan and Iraq -- because that's where art can have the greatest impact."

I love teaching Art, the people who I teach seem to have very few preconceived ideas about the end result, therefore they never know if what they are doing is 'right' or 'wrong'. This is really important. It helps to relax into the subject and release allowable ideas ordinarily unspoken.
