Many Americans  believe that creativity is an essential and irreplaceable element of the American character and mind. Our ability to invent new ideas, things, and ways of relating to one-another has been the engine that created our country and that drives our economic and spiritual well-being.

The establishment of America was a creative act. The Declaration of Independence was a profoundly innovative document that helped spark the public's imagination and gave life to a revolutionary idea.

The public readings of the Declaration across the face of the 13 colonies in 1776 were kinds of civic performances that helped turn those colonies into the United States of America in the minds of the listeners.

They believe that creativity and the passion to pursue the dreams released by one's creativity lie at the heart of America's success as a nation and as a people.
