Video Text: Anatole Wieck, Professor of Music, School of
Performing Arts, University of Maine: "In our day and age, we have
countries in the world--our country, also Canada and Europe--talking
about cutting funds for the arts. Everybody cites the fact that it's too
expensive and we don't have the money, and we're talking about very
wealthy, rich countries. And Guatemala is a very poor country. Somehow,
they don't seem to have problems finding the funds for it, which shows
that it's a question of priorities. They seem to have the right
priorities. The way I see it, it's the beginning of a renaissance, not
just for the arts but for their whole society."
