Where do the candidates stand on arts, culture, and the creative economy?

As of this post, MALC found no candidate (Democrat, Independent, or Republican) has a stand-alone platform for arts, culture, and/or the creative economy!

MALC would like to suggest to ALL of those running for the office of President of the United States (POTUS) to read MALC’s 2014 Governor’s challenge, as formulated and put forth to all gubernatorial candidates during the 2014 election. Our policy paper can easily be scaled up to include the needs of arts, culture and the creative economy across the nation; it highlights much of the work MALC actively addresses at the policy table.
