Everyone deserves art. Poor people. Rich people. Country people. City people. Art is for everyone, believes Scott Shanklin-Peterson, director of the arts management program.
For more than 30 years, Shanklin-Peterson has promoted the power of art and helped cultivate careers in the arts through her service as deputy chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, president of the S.C. Art Alliance, chairman of the Southern Arts Federation and much more. Last fall, in recognition of her work, she received the 2010 National Award for Arts Achievement and Excellence from the International Council of Fine Arts Deans.
It’s a different accolade, but her mission remains the same: Make art accessible to all.
