- Summary
- An audio recording of Agnes de Mille giving a speech at the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance. She begins by acknowledging this is her standard speech intended for calling others to action for the arts, and the audience at the studio are already converted art lovers. She describes the importance of the arts in society and continues to discuss the slashing of arts funding by the government and the difficulty with gaining support elsewhere because of the lack of profits, the difference between European and American arts funding, the history of arts funding in the United States, and why it is still necessary to ensure the continuation of society and culture.
