“The arts are not just a nice thing to have or to do if there is free time or if one can afford it. Rather paintings and poetry, music ... design and dialogue, they all define who we are as a people and provide an account of our history for the next generation.” --First Lady Michelle Obama

Welcome to the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities!

Our committee focuses on arts and humanities education, cultural diplomacy, economic revitalization through the arts and humanities and special events dedicated to recognizing excellence in these areas. Since our members include government agencies and private individuals, we provide a dynamic link between the public and private sectors. All of our efforts are collaborative, and we work primarily with the White House and our cultural partners, the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

In all that we do, we strive to connect the people of the United States with each other and with the rest of the world through dance, theater, music, literature, painting and sculpture and heritage and cultural tourism. Please check back for updates on our new and ongoing programs.
