Daily Challenge: First Lady Honors the Arts
(22-Oct-2010 - Brooklyn, NY) 
Kids took the stage and celebrities sat in the audience as First Lady Michelle Obama honored community arts programs that help young people around the country develop their talents and succeed in life.
Obama presented 15 after-school and out-of-school programs, many of them serving at-risk youths, with the 2010 National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award. She said the programs teach young people that "each of them has something of value to contribute."
She called the arts programs "shining examples of using success in the arts and humanities as a bridge to success in life."
Two local arts organizations received a big honor from First Lady Michelle Obama.
Mrs. Obama presented the 2010 National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award to the Manhattan-based Global Action Project and the Heart of Brooklyn, a cultural non-profit.
The programs are two of only 15 nationwide to receive the prestigious award.
"You know, like all of us know that these programs, programs like yours, can help our young people expand their imaginations and tap into their creativity," said the first lady.
The Presdient's Committee on the Arts and Humanities chose the winners from a pool of 400 nominations.
