“An educational foundation is only part of the equation,” the first lady said. “In order for creativity to flourish and imagination to take hold, we also need to expose our children to the arts from a very young age.”

I know I want that for my girls. They deserve to have access to a good education and access to ideas and images that will spark their creativity.”
