Who We Are
by Arlene Goldbard
Writer, activist, blogger

I admit it: I’m obsessed. I turn my attention to the way we spend our
commonwealth as a nation, and like a song you can’t get out of your head,
the cultural policy questions that matter most to me keep cycling through:
Who are we as a people? What do we want to remembered for, our vast
creativity, or our prodigious ability to punish?

Most mainstream debate about cultural policy in the U.S. actually focuses
on one question, arts funding. Recently, the focus has been on cuts to the
budgets of state arts agencies and the National Endowment for the Arts.
