"The tradition in this state… of public support for
the arts goes all the way back to the original Constitution — written
by John Adams — which says it will be the public duty of the government
to support the arts, support the sciences, to support education,
for all levels of society. We’ve got to raise children to appreciate
the arts."
— Historian David McCullough, two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize
and winner of a 1999 Commonwealth Award
