<p style="margin:0">This month, Chair Jackson joined NEH Chair Shelly C. Lowe to visit Puerto Rico from February 17-19 to listen to arts and cultural organizations about the work they are doing and determine how the two organizations can best support Puerto
Rico’s arts and culture sector. This is the first trip by an NEA chair since 1994’s trip by Chair Jane Alexander. In an interview with
<a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013ir8kv3wSpA6vX04TEg4End-MlNYzLTmj9eH75l0ZKsIEi6pg_jNthYQzkynEN49JmJPnAokXAiRvwseBogxjMH_DTFrXwC5kX3ucD8GWxAnfZZp3Cd-ThdYFmqyGooHffo_moSfkpqM3jchwrhT_qkxoDNoGhsIY5DTwqXV-eYIAM8ZMUU7GEDRLPLh8K_iQ6bPGb86bW5GJg4LSMOSuu5Az0CL3Humf7Cwx3TXN4K6YS7bFclCkWGisQx2zX_X4uU8v9VsBDlhEg1a4nsFMODBOwnL0MJpmhFHhcb7M2s=&c=SywG_PqfFx0SkXIvJPyxUWtVhdzr-4VA0RkVYoX-kxIj6DRqgqvTYw==&ch=rKUsGI1dQ_uHTYJ2E_oJKSDAD9Kkj2nPC4tRUxD3RoPOxbkWz1Hq3g==" target="_blank" style="color:#d61b1b; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none; font-style:normal">
El Nuevo Día</a>, Chair Jackson said:</p>
<p style="margin:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0">“Diría que llevarnos un mejor entendimiento sobre cómo podemos ser de mayor ayuda, cómo podemos ser más relevantes y responsivos, entendiendo las circunstancias específicas de Puerto Rico. También queremos entender cuál ha sido el trabajo
que hemos hecho hasta ahora y tener una mejor idea de su impacto. Tengo interés particular en entender el rol de las artes en relación con la calidad de vida, la salud, las comunidades y el desarrollo económico. Las artes no existen en una burbuja, permean
sobre todo eso, así que entender cómo eso pasa aquí y cómo podemos apoyarlo es muy importante.”</p>
<p style="margin:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0"> (“I would say that it brings us a better understanding of how we can be more helpful, how we can be more relevant and responsive, understanding the specific circumstances of Puerto Rico. We also want to understand what work we have done
so far and get a better idea of its impact. I have a particular interest in understanding the role of the arts in relation to quality of life, health, communities, and economic development. The arts do not exist in a bubble, they permeate all of that, so understanding
how that happens here and how we can support it is very important.”)</p>
<p style="margin:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0">Carlos Ruiz, executive director of the arts agency Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña, expressed his appreciation for the visit: “Estamos sumamente agradecidos de la visita de ambas presidentas y nos complace que conozcan personalmente
el ecosistema de las artes, la cultura y las humanidades en Puerto Rico. Es la primera vez que ambas posiciones se encuentran en Puerto Rico y para nosotros es bien importante este junte histórico porque esto les da una mejor percepción de la gestión artística
y cultural de los puertorriqueños. A través de las subvenciones otorgadas a artistas individuales y organizaciones con eventos que promueven nuestras artes y cultura, hemos podido dar apoyo a la clase artística y gestores culturales en sus diversas disciplinas.”</p>
<p style="margin:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0">(“We are extremely grateful for the visit of both chairs and we are pleased that they personally know the ecosystem of arts, culture and humanities in Puerto Rico. It is the first time that both positions meet in Puerto Rico and for us this
historic meeting is very important because it gives them a better perception of the artistic and cultural management of Puerto Ricans. Through the grants awarded to individual artists and organizations with events that promote our arts and culture, we have
been able to support the artistic class and cultural managers in their various disciplines.”)</p>
<p style="margin:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0">Also in February, Chair Jackson shared her perspective of one year in this position as well as plans for the future of the NEA in a podcast interview:
</p>
<p style="margin:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0">“I think unleashing the full power of art requires animating the work at the intersection of other dimensions of our lives, so arts in education, arts in community development, economic development, climate, the very important work happening
at the intersection of arts and health and well-being. I've been referring to the necessary integration of arts in our daily lives and to the integration of arts in other areas of policy and practice as arts in all, so arts in all refers to the intention of
full integration of the arts in how we live. Not only does the concept push up against the relegation of arts as something separate or just extra, but we're also leaning into arts integration that will create new opportunities and unlock resources for artists
and arts organizations.”</p>

2023 Jazz Masters Honored at Free Events</h1>
<p style="margin:0"><span style="font-weight:bold"> </span></p>
<p style="margin:0">In honor of the 2023 National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Jazz Masters—Regina Carter, Kenny Garrett, Louis Hayes, and Sue Mingus—the NEA is collaborating with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on a series of free events
March 30-April 1 that will give audiences opportunities to experience the honorees’ music, stories, and knowledge. These events mark the culmination of the 40th anniversary of the NEA Jazz Masters, which since 1982 has awarded more than 160 fellowships to
great figures in jazz. </p>
<p style="margin:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0">The highlight of this annual celebration of jazz will be a tribute concert on Saturday, April 1, 2023, at 7:30 p.m. ET at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC and available through a live webcast and radio broadcast. Additional events include
a masterclass with Kenny Garrett at Howard University on March 30 and a listening party with the honorees at NPR’s headquarters, also on April 1.</p>
