Supreme Court Green-Lights White House Ballroom Despite Lack of Congressional Approval

The Supreme Court's 5-4 decision to green-light the White House's $400 million ballroom project might seem distant, yet it's a potent reminder for our community.

Let this fuel your resolve to create impactful art and demand its vital place in the public sphere, beyond exclusive halls. — Source: Artforum
