From "Arts, Inequality, and the Truly Rich Society" at the 2013 Aspen Ideas Festival.
What is the role of art in improving, enriching, and enhancing community, especially in places burdened with poverty? How can we ensure that all have access to ways to express themselves, and to find their voice as artists and as citizens? And how can art and culture challenge us, in a time of deep inequality, to make a truly rich society? This session examines these questions and more.
Featuring Melody Barnes, Eric Liu, and Damian Woetzel
Session produced by the Aspen Institute Arts Program, under the direction of Damian Woetzel. For more information about the Aspen Institute Arts Program, visit www.aspeninstitute.org/artsprogram
