National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Rocco Landesman toured Philadelphia yesterday, exploring our city’s murals and Crane Arts Building as part of his “Art Works” tour.

He cited Philadelphia as an example of the kinds of changes in arts policy he is trying to implement, saying, “I don’t know how many times I’ve said it in the last few months: ‘We’ve got to look at what they’re doing in Philadelphia.'”

Go Philly!
