As we enter the home stretch on the presidential campaign, it's a good time to see where the two candidates stand on the arts. Here's a link to Barack Obama's arts policies. Highlights include easing the visa policies for touring artists, supporting the fair market value tax deduction for artists donating their work, and a new (to me) idea of creating an "Artist Corps" of young artists trained to work in low-income schools and their communities.
I'd link to John McCain's Arts Policies, but, it doesn't appear he has one. Nothing is posted on his site, nor in the 2008 Repulican Party platform.
