" ...[T]he arts are one of humanity's most eloquent means of understanding the world. Through the arts, we share the highest achievements of every culture and find a universal language which permits communication among all peoples. As such, the arts are an essential component of a complete education."
from the Mission Statement of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
