Speaking at a recent Rotary Club meeting, Joe Bankoff, chair of The Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, asked the 200 club members "to stand if they had participated in some form of arts activity in their youth like music, dance, painting, or theater: nearly every person present stood up. He then asked those standing if they made a living today in an arts-related field and nearly everyone standing sat down. The point drove home the positive influence of arts and culture on the lives of so many of us." Source: Atlanta Business Chronicle, November 23, 2012
