“Everyone craves connection. As divided as we are right now, one thing we have in commonis a love of music, dance, theater, fine art, or anything else created by someone’simagination. The Arts have the power to unify a divided nation not only by offering usunifying experiences during which differences are less important than similarities but also,on an individual level, providing beauty in the darkness, laughter in our communal pain andjoy in the midst of chaos.”
