With funding for the creative industries being an ongoing struggle, and the performing arts long being under-appreciated and not recognised for the immense value they bring to the health and the income of local communities… in this episode I reflect on how we can transform our local arts centers.
As a member of one local theater in Dallas-Fort Worth, attending the KD Conservatory College of Film & Dramatic Arts last night, and off to watch another show this evening, I am experiencing the vibrancy of the local arts scene.
With the artistic hunger, the people, and the technology at our disposal, there must be a way to better fund our arts programmes, our artists and our arts spaces… for the betterment of all.
Our communities deserve thriving arts spaces, and I believe the answer to is to start with tiered, crowd-funded campaigns to fund local arts.
This is something that Amphibian Stage is doing and ~ if enough of us vote with our dollars and put our money into these spaces ~ the impact and the income that can be generated is significant!
