National Arts and Humanities Month (NAHM) is a
coast-to-coast celebration of culture in America. Held every October
and coordinated by Americans for the Arts, NAHM is the largest annual
celebration of the arts and humanities in the nation. This year,
Americans for the Arts is pleased to circulate the official proclamation issued by the White House in support of
National Arts and Humanities Month.
Unlike
"letters of support" from previous administrations, this
year's message is significant and historic because it is the first time
that National Arts and Humanities Month has been recognized by an
official Presidential
Proclamation. By
issuing this historic public statement in his first year in office,
President Obama has taken this opportunity to recognize the contributions
that our cultural assets make to America's diversity,
humanity, and economic health.
