YouthThe President’s Committee believes that the arts and humanities should be part of the education of every child in America. The power of the arts and humanities to develop creativity, to close the opportunity gap and prepare all children for productive lives is essential for the future of our nation’s cultural and economic life. Coming Up TallerEach year Mrs. Bush and PCAH’s Coming Up Taller program recognizes and supports outstanding after-school arts and humanities programs, especially those that reach underserved children and youth. This initiative is a partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services, National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities to showcase cultural excellence and enhance the availability of out-of-school arts and humanities programs to children.
