Hi PAN Listserv,

A lovely end of year article from Bob in the Huffington Post. Enjoy!

We Should All Value the Artists and Their Vital Role in Our Communities

“As we celebrate the holidays, I encourage you to think of all the ways artists have helped your company, organization, place of worship, community. How have artists bettered your family and your life? Think about the artist behind the public art mural as you pass by while running errands. Take a moment to listen to caroling. Take family and friends to galleries, a live music venue, or small theater production. Let’s all support these artists and community change-makers this holiday season.”

Best,

Patricia
