Elizabeth,
Some other ideas -
Not sure where this is going to live but you might want to start wi a quote by President or Mrs. Obama on the importance
of the arts in public life if you can find one that seems appropriate. Also you might reference the inclusion of the arts in the
serve America act to back up your statement that this isn't just about the summer:
http://www.nationalservice.gov/help/serveamericaact/ServeAmericaAct.htm
(xii) providing skilled musicians and artists to promote greater community unity through the use of music and arts education and
engagement through work in low-income communities, and education, health care, and therapeutic settings, and other work in the
public domain with citizens of all ages.
Also, I see things in the blogosphere about an Artists Corps - not sure if that's just what's written into Serve America Act
above or something more - maybe Anita would know.
