SAN ANTONIO
Everything's comin' up roses
SA Current (5/28/08)
Thomas Jenkins
"Hooray! After a particularly middling Broadway Across America season - however lusty its May, we're still in a coma from Camelot - the good folks at Arts Center Enterprises have lined up a season that not only resists bottom-drawer offerings, but actually lands some of the most tempting tours in the nation."
TEXAS Art & SeekGlasstire (May 2008)
Bill Davenport
KERA, North Texas' public broadcasting nexus launches its Art & Seek initiative today. NATIONAL Arts inequity divides rich, poor. Needier areas scramble harder for resources, parent dollars
Stockton Record (05/26/08)
Dana M. Nichols
"When parents have the desire, and the cash, they can dramatically boost arts programs in schools." According to a 2006 study of California arts education commissioned by the William and Flora Hewlitt Foundation. The study also found that inadequate state funding for education is a top barrier to providing arts education, and reliance on outside funding sources, such as parent groups, creates inequities." INTERNATIONAL Antiquities, the World Is Your Homeland
New York Times (05/27/08)
EDWARD ROTHSTEIN
"To what culture does the concept of "cultural property" belong? Who owns this idea? It has, like much material property in the last 50 years, often changed hands. And in doing so, it has also changed meanings and grown in importance. It now affects the development of museums, alters the nature of international commerce and even seems to subsume traditional notions of property."
