This is a fantastic initiative, and it promises to give rise to a blueprint for communities, the nation's public schools, cities, museums, and others. If this is to be successful, it will be important to keep in mind that one of the key features of the arts is that, contrary to popular opinion, they promote a kind of analogical, critical thinking that students don't necessarily receive in other areas. The arts are often associated only with our emotional and intuitive sides, but philosophers, historians, artists and musicians have known for centuries that they work across the brain's own silos, engaging capacities that, once brought into more synergistic relation, can lead to new, creative solutions for the world's many challenges. This also means that their capacity to promote new connections exceeds their ability to promote healing, or to be put to only therapeutic applications. The arts teach us to be more acute in our thinking, and more alert in our attention and concentration in times of tremendous distraction. And they can help us fruitfully engage in rethinking difficult subjects---personal, societal, cultural---just as well as they can soothe or heal us.

Indie publishers: IBPA is accepting applications through June 16 for its Innovative Voices Program, designed for publishers from marginalized communities (including but not limited to race, gender, gender identity, religion, sexual orientation, caste, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, language, disability, or age.) The benefits and required qualifications are too many to list here! Check out the details in the link. (I'm not sure why the link text says "Edit This Favorite"; please ignore that as it's irrelevant!) #publishing
