Kerry or Bush: Who’s Better for the Arts?
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Where do Kerry and Bush stand on issues concerning the arts? Where have been hot-button cultural issues like NEA funding and censorship on this year’s election agenda? Is one political party better for the arts than the other? For some answers to these questions, we’re joined by John Sparks, who worked on the front lines of the 1990s Culture Wars as a Washington, DC-based lobbyist for orchestras. Today he’s an arts consultant and recently wrote an article for NewMusicBox.org about the arts under different administrations in recent history. Also on the show is Pamela Z., a master of integrating technology and composition. The composer and performer joins us to discuss her new album A Delay Is Better, and her evening-length multimedia performance at The Kitchen.
