"I have very nerdy daughters, and they're super cool. Like, my oldest kid was Andy Warhol for Halloween," Rorem says. So they'd planned a grand tour of the city's museums, from the National Gallery of Art to the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, maybe even the zoo if she could convince her husband. "They would have soaked it up. I always love watching things from my kids' eyes."
Then, the federal government partially shut down.

This article again proves that this government shutdown is terrible for everyone and that the only person this benefits in the slightest is our President. And even then, it barely benefits him. Artists are often not compensated very well, and especially in the realm of theatre, are forced to either work for a nonprofit or become a nonprofit themselves. The government shutdown is especially harmful to the artists and theatre artists in the United States. The Trump administration has been nothing short of aggressively hostile against the arts. This is also exemplified by the Trump administration abolishing the National Endowment of the Arts. Not only this but, areas that have traditionally been an inspiration for much American art, our grand and vast landscapes. I am obviously referring to our National Parks, which continue to be shut down until a deal is reached. The natural landscapes of the United States have served as inspiration for many American Artists.
