Condoleeza Rice Plays For the Queen

The wonderful arts news site artsjournal.com hosts an on-line debate this week about arts education.

They've invited 16 bloggers to participate: working artists (including violinist Midori), arts administrators, critics, arts funders, and school administrators.

It started yesterday and continues through Friday. Find it here.
