What happens behind the scenes, is what shapes the face of progress.  Artists have the direct connection with the grassroots level and have the capacity to inspire hope and healing.  The combination of these two encompasses the face of "Arts Integration Into Education," and our spectrum of work here in the United States and 192 member states of the United Nations. -- Stephen Michael Apatow
