In a statement, Baldwin declares, “Government support of the arts has been important to me for the past two decades, and Americans for the Arts has championed the cause for more than 50 years. I am honored to deliver this year’s Nancy Hanks Lecture on behalf of Americans for the Arts and proud to stand alongside them as we work to underscore the positive economic and social impact the arts and arts education have on our country and our citizens.”
The lecture will be part of the annual Arts Advocacy Day events in Washington, D.C. on April 16 and 17.
