The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is pleased to be participating in this special year-long event that will reach students, teachers, and families throughout the world. The Internet 1996 World Exposition has been designed to demonstrate what we can all look forward to in the global village of the future -- and it is important that the arts are well-represented in this vision.
Achievement in the arts is not limited by access to private instructional models or to inherited genes. Many of our nation’s finest performing artists became interested in their medium and developed initial skills as a result of basic arts education programming in their local school or community center. Our purpose here is to provide recognition for the valuable role of the arts in education among young people throughout the United States.
