El Salvador Part 5

I knew there was a reason I'm in an Arts in Education program.

When I was in El Salvador, I had the chance to talk to the director of the only art museum in the country. He started by telling us some of their recent history, including a brutal 10 year civil war, followed by the crime and delinquency that still grips the nation.

I asked him what could curb the violence, and without hesitation he said, "more art."
