The conversations i curate naturally deal with the arts, but not just with the arts, but art and society and how the arts intersect and how they can be productive and evermore interactive partners with all of the areas of society, which is very much of course in keeping with the mission of the Aspen Institute itself. Today, we are very happy to welcome dr. David score 10, the new secretary of the smithsonian, who comes to us building on a distinguished career in medicine.
