Proclamation 10457 of September 30, 2022
National Arts and Humanities Month, 2022
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
For centuries, American arts and humanities have been a
beacon of light and understanding, recording our
history and advancing new ways of thinking. This
National Arts and Humanities month, we celebrate our
Nation's visionary artists, scholars, and creators
whose work touches and reveals the soul of America.
My Administration is committed to making the arts and
humanities more accessible to people of every age and
background, uplifting more voices, inspiring new
generations, and showing the full power of our example
as a great Nation. We have invested hundreds of
millions of dollars in strengthening the National
Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment
for the Humanities (NEH), and our American Rescue Plan
allocated over a billion more to help museums,
libraries, theaters, concert halls, and other venues
recover from the pandemic.
This critical support comes on top of a historic
Executive Order I signed this week to promote the arts,
humanities, and museum and library services. The order
re-establishes the President's Committee on the Arts
and Humanities, and directs cooperation among Federal
agencies and offices to strengthen our Nation's health,
economy, equity, and civic life through these
disciplines. Additionally, I am proud to have appointed
Dr. Maria Rosario Jackson to chair the NEA, the first
African American and Mexican American to head the
agency, and Shelly C. Lowe to chair the NEH, the first
Native American in that role. Together, we will keep
working to support artists, scholars, and leaders who
look like America and will help tell our full story as
a Nation.
The NEH charter says it best: Democracy demands wisdom.
The steps we are taking this month will support
American creators and communities, foster new
understanding, and inspire us all to tackle our
toughest challenges and keep pushing forward to form a
more perfect Union.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of
the United States of America, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws
of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 2022
as National Arts and Humanities Month. I call on the
people of the United States to observe this month with
appropriate programs, ceremonies, and celebrations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
thirtieth day of September, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-two, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
seventh.
