Living Visual Artists At The White House

I noticed that there seems to be a great emphasis on the performing arts atthe White House.
The visual artist seem to get pushed into the background often. I am aware that the Obamas have selected some paintings to be shown in the White House.
It would be nice to feature a special exhibition of works by contemporary living artists.
Music doesn't need much support. Painters and sculptors need more support from the present administration in my opinion. In the present economy visual artists need champions, the could use the dollars.
