Art for All

This morning I was watching a Sunday Morning segment celebrating that Los Angeles has a new art museum, The Broad Contemporary Museum, to visit (for free, even!!) when they flashed this trivia fact on the screen:

There are approximately 850 million visits each year to American museums, more than the attendance for all major league sporting events and theme parks combined.

Isn't it a wonderful to know that art in America is so appreciated and accessible?!! Just think, some of those art museum visitors art the artists that we teach!!
