NEA and NEH Medals Awarded, Along with Surprise Citizen Medals for Presidential Arts Staffers

It was a good week to be a number of things: a higher-up in the world of arts management, an artist yourself, or well, pretty much any other sort of creative person. That’s due to President Bush‘s handing out this year’s National Medals of Arts and the National Humanities Medals, which went to a very, very wide variety of people and organizations, from the Fisk University Jubilee Singers to WGN radio
host Milton Rosenberg to the Met‘s VP of External Affairs’ Harold Holzer.
