Editorial: Arts initiative will put Sacramento on the map - Sacramento Opinion - Sacramento Editorial Sacramento Bee:
"It all began in May. The Sacramento Region Community Foundation brought in Michael Kaiser, president of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. He told arts organizations how they could survive and thrive during a troubled economy.
Mayor Kevin Johnson spoke briefly to the standing-room-only group. Kaiser and Johnson later met and hit it off.
Then the mayor in June launched a major arts initiative, 'For Arts Sake.' That effort has attracted 400 volunteers, meeting once a month, to spark an arts-and-culture revival.
Now comes a giant boost."
