"To witness the diversity of our nation brought to life through the arts is nothing short of magical. It serves as a reminder of the power the arts have, to bridge our differences + to connect us as neighbors, as humans + as Americans." — Tony Chauveaux, National Endowment for the Arts Deputy Chairman for Programs and Partnerships (from remarks at the September 20, 2019 NEA National Heritage Fellowships Concert)
