ArtsConnection Honors

By AMANDA GORDON | May 2, 2008

'This country will never be the country we aspire to be until we get right on education and we are not today right on education," New York City's schools chancellor, Joel Klein, who attended P.S. 151 in Queens, said Monday. He was accepting an award from ArtsConnection, a nonprofit that brings performing and visual arts instructors into more than 120 schools in the five boroughs. The event, which raised $600,000, also honored artist George Condo, whose own children attend Trevor Day School.
