🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: The Arts Are Not Optional. They Are the Foundation🚨

The Arts are not just decoration, and we artists are not simply a mirror reflecting society's status quo. The Arts are the engine of human connection and the foundation of civilization...and the true calling of the artist is to answer what society needs to advance its premise of humanity. My own journey has been profoundly influenced by great educators such as Professor Brenda J. Jones, Professor Barbara Walton, and Dr. Dennis Raverty, as well as the musical brilliance of the Black community, which demonstrated to me that the Arts are the essential classroom for life.

When I was educated about Rome, known as the “Eternal City” because it was believed that the city would last forever, I was informed that its government does not support the Arts. One of the creative directors of the space stated that most of their contributions for continued operation come from individuals in the expat community. They are literally hanging on by a wing and a prayer!!

📢 Call to Action: Stop treating art as a relic. Start treating it as the vital economic and social asset it is. SUPPORT LIVING ARTISTS with NEW VISION and NEW SOUNDS. Demand that local cities invest in the SOUL of their communities.
