First lady Michelle Obama hosted the National Design Awards last Friday, July 24, in the East Room of the White House. At the event she called for more arts exposure for children to further supplement early education.

“An educational foundation is only part of the equation,” Michelle Obama said.  “In order for creativity to flourish and imagination to take hold, we also need to expose our children to the arts from a very young age.”

Are there other ways the first lady and President can put the arts on the national agenda? What are your suggestions?
