Robin Bronk, CEO of The Creative Coalition and actor Michael Chiklis, are guests today on MSNBC’s Morning Joe at 8:50 AM ET / 5:50 AM PT. The conversation focuses on The Right to Bear Arts™ and the urgent need to protect the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
This segment will raise awareness of The Creative Coalition’s work in supporting the arts and influencing national policy through award-winning campaigns, strategic partnerships and grassroots mobilization. Bronk and Chiklis will address:
- The economic and societal impact of arts investment;
- NEA-supported arts therapies for veterans and active-duty military;
- The role of the entertainment industry in civic discourse;
- The disproportionate effect of potential NEA funding cuts on rural and high-poverty communities; and
- The measurable benefits of arts education on academic performance and youth development.
