"The arts are one of the best avenues for synthesizing different ideas, and for allowing every viewpoint, tradition, and innovation to have a place at the table. The arts aren’t a matter of either/or, where one person wins and the other loses, where if the conditions are one way, then they cannot be the other way. Instead, they’re both/and." —Jane Chu, speaking at the Association of Art Museum Directors' annual conference
