Johnson to recognize the contributions of our nation&rsquo;s high school seniors.&nbsp; It took 15 years before the arts were recognized by this program in 1979, thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arts.gov\/\">National Endowment of the Arts<\/a>.&nbsp; A stringent nationwide competition is held annually to select 20 Presidential Scholars of the Arts out of hundreds of young, qualified artists. However, 100 scholars are selected with a focus on STEM (Science Technology Engineering &amp; Math) fields. I submit that therein lies a strong divide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"faso-user-p\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"faso-user-p\">Why the difference?<\/p>\n<p class=\"faso-user-p\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"faso-user-p\">Why do we have only 20 candidates selected in the Arts?&nbsp; Why are only 20 candidates deserving of this recognition in our glorious 50 states? That too, these seniors must meet the US Presidential scholar&rsquo;s requirements which are quite strict in terms of testing.&nbsp; I will hesitantly give into this requirement.&nbsp; However, this is 2020 and I cannot believe that 41 years after introducing the Arts Presidential Scholars, nobody has recognized the need for equity in the visual, performing and creative arts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"faso-user-p\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"faso-user-p\">It is time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"faso-user-p\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"faso-user-p\">It is time to rethink our patronage of the arts, and this must come from the leadership of the highest office.&nbsp; #Patron will get new life if there is a movement in our country to bring the arts on equal footing with the sciences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"faso-user-p\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"faso-user-p\">As always, be curious and create!<\/p>\n<p class=\"faso-user-p\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"faso-user-p\">Hyacinth<\/p>\n<p class=\"faso-user-p\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hyacinthpaulart.com\/\">https:\/\/www.hyacinthpaulart.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"faso-user-p\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"faso-user-p\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While #Patron is not trending, we must make every effort to recognize patrons of the arts.&nbsp; I looked up avenues of funding available to the youth of our country.&nbsp; We must invest in our youth first and foremost because they are the future leaders of our world.&nbsp; The US Presidential Scholars program was signed into [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[100],"tags":[1885,5516,3924],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-236896","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art","tag-art","tag-lost","tag-society"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
