Louisiana just gave its Culture Awards and the new Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, Rocco Landesman, attended the gathering and presented the awards.  Landesman is truly a cultural entrepreneur and he recognized the power of culture in society both economically and socially.  He said in Louisiana, “Art jobs are real jobs”.  When have you heard that before from the NEA?  How refreshing.

Louisiana Lt Governor Mitch Landrieu has been a real leader in the field of US cultural industry development.  He attends cultural events locally and speaks out nationally and internationally.  Lt. Governor Landrieu is an exemplary leader at the state level and now we have a cultural entrepreneur in a key federal leadership position.

Let us work together on our state’s and countries to lift up more leaders like these.  The time is right.

Thank you Rocco Landesman and Lt. Governor Landesman!
