National Arts Week, 1986
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Wherever Americans are, there are the arts. The arts are central to human
expression. The arts enlighten us and please us. America has long loved the
arts, and we study, practice, appreciate, and patronize them in our theatres,
museums, galleries, schools, and communities.
We also generously support the arts and desire to make them as widely
available as possible. A typically American consortium-informal and effec-
tive-of individuals, corporations, foundations, and taxpayers provides finan-
cial support to artists to augment revenues raised directly from patrons.
It is most fitting that we take time to celebrate the arts of our Nation, to honor
our artists, and to express our appreciation to everyone who patronizes the
arts. And as we celebrate the arts, we celebrate and give thanks for our
freedom, the only atmosphere in which artists can truly create and in which
art is truly the expression of the soul.
Let us join together during National Arts Week to celebrate the arts of our
Nation and in pledging to continue this magnificent partnership of artist and
patron so as to enrich the soul and the heart of our people forever.
The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 304, has designated the week of
November 16 through November 22, 1986, as "National Arts Week" and
authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance
of this event.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of
America, do hereby proclaim the week of November 16 through November 22,
1986, as National Arts Week. I encourage the people of the United States to
observe the week with appropriate ceremonies, programs, and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of
November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh.
Ronald Reagon
