An interesting article from Ruth Bloomfield in the Evening Standard this week spotlighting Peckham and the impact that growing popularity and rising rents is having on the local community. Turner.Works project Peckham Levels is mentioned in the article as an example of positive development in the area. Peckham Levels embodies our approach to delivering places that are both commercially successful and able to meet genuine community needs. Following close collaboration and consultation with the local community, we transformed a derelict car park into a vibrant social and arts space, which provides employment and affordable creative workspace (prioritised for local people), and injects profits back into supporting the community. We applied the same way of thinking when designing Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in Peckham. At its core, Mountview is designed to break down barriers to entry into an historically hard-to-access industry for young people from all backgrounds, also offering affordable spaces for local community arts groups and revenue-driving cafés and bar. As we move forward, let's prioritise projects that seamlessly integrate with the unique character of a place, avoiding the creation of buildings that feel out of place and, inadvertently, displace the very people and businesses that define the community. https://lnkd.in/eqzRiEVm

Arts enthusiasts: check out this upcoming White House convening, Jan 30th, with a live stream available! An opportunity to explore how the arts can be used as a lever to change communities - and, what's super interesting about this, is the seemingly interdisciplinary approach to the conversation, including representatives from the arts community, as well as the built environment, health professionals, DEI/equity leaders, etc. "This national convening brings together leaders from various sectors, including government officials; policymakers; artists; advocates; academics; and philanthropic, labor, and community leaders to explore ideas, policies, and actions that can elevate the arts and humanities across the nation. In particular, the summit will delve into how the arts contribute to health and well-being, invigorate physical spaces, fuel democracy, and foster equitable outcomes."
HUGE heads up to ALL #arts and #creative #professionals and #advocates 🦋 This is a massive SHOW yourself moment for US cultural policy. This group is convened to decide how (not if!) we will take a whole-of-government approach to healing our nation and creating an expanded vision of democratic life. Livestream of a lifetime and attendance counts. Please like this post so it gets to your network, too! 🙏❤️⚖️🦋 #HealBridgeThrive

#ListeningSession 6 - GCF’s President and CEO, Matthew Randazzo and Chief Impact Officer, Rasheda Malcolm-Cromwell hosted an open forum with organizations in the arts and culture sector that enrich our region through creative endeavors, employment and arts education. During the conversation, attendees expressed a clear need for more funding and support for staffing and operations. Additional takeaways include a desire for more artists to be at the decision-making table, better access to boardrooms and private sector spaces, and greater recognition of the positive effects the arts have on our regional economy. How do you think we can best serve our region’s artists and cultural institutions? What opportunities do the arts bring to the region and how can we ensure these opportunities persist?

THIS! Music's effect can be nearly instantaneous. It helps to have familiar music BUT familiarity is not required! We are able to eliminate burnout in 5 minutes with strangers. And the best thing about using music is that it only reinforces itself, in the same way that a song you know and love can instantly change your mood / cognition, the more you use our music, the faster your brain will react! Who else can say that, eh? By the way, by "our music" I mean Evoked Response's latest productions which are available on many apps, health programs and are embedded into multiple devices (one which is going for FDA approval for sleep). We do not have our own app. Strictly B2B. If you want to experience the music yourself we have some (admittedly old) samples on the site, but we also give our entire latest library to partners and researchers FOR FREE. Indeed this is actually how we sell our music - 90% of our clients want to conduct a thorough study on their own customers, and we are happy to let the results speak for themselves. If it's a brain gaming company maybe they test if user score increases, if it's a sleep company does it improve sleep. And even companies that just want better music for their product, whatever it is. Why? It boils down to one thing: Does this music increase my bottom line? Yep! It reduces churn, increases conversion, and significantly increases engagement with the app / device. Fortunately we have a therapy that is both effective and enjoyable. I even talked recently about how we can reliably induce frission (chills)! Yup making some bold claims here. Put me to the test here or DM.

In recent days, many of us have questioned our travel plans and events, checked in with colleagues and friends, and second-guessed where we go and what we do—all while trying to avoid violence and verbal abuse. The mental load is considerable. Even when the initial burst of protests and demonstrations subsides, we continue to worry about the coming months. We ask ourselves: Which events require late-night travel? Which take us to isolated places or recent 'hotspots' of unrest? This mental load is something that people of Black and Asian backgrounds face every day, both in their personal and professional lives. These calculations are not new to us—they are part of our daily reality. I hope that the occasional spotlight on these issues doesn't fade with the next news cycle. We must strive to build a society where people of all backgrounds, religions, and colors can live and work in safety and harmony. Archana Shastri Pravinder Singh
Milap’s thoughts and solidarity are with people of all religious and ethnic communities, as racially motivated acts of violence are taking place across the UK. It was really heartening to see the anti-fascist and anti-racist demonstrations taking place yesterday, and we hope that people can unite to remember what unites us, rather than what divides us. Hatred has no place in our society, and we are extremely concerned about the aggression unfolding on our streets. We send our love to everyone affected. Thank you to Arts Council England for the message of support See below ⬇ Culture Liverpool Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Arts Council England Alok Nayak, FRSA Archana Shastri Pravinder Singh _____ A message of solidarity and support from the Arts Council to the people and organisations across the creative and cultural sector, in light of the recent riots and violence in our communities. https://lnkd.in/eAcxRYHT

The Kettering Foundation is integrating the arts into all areas of our work because of their capacity to affirm and advance democratic values. We are pleased the federal government shares that commitment. The National Endowment for the Arts and the White House Domestic Policy Council recently convened Healing, Bridging, Thriving: A Summit on Arts and Culture in Our Communities, which provides many examples of the ways in which the arts are “essential to the well-being, health, vitality, and democracy of our Nation.” https://lnkd.in/giVi4xVZ

Contemporary Artist/Curator/Gallerist/Arts Advocate/Educator - large-scale works for collections, museums, corporate
How in the world does this happen? By choosing to remain uneducated as to what arts and culture contribute (economically, socially, well-being, etc.), that's how. Or willingly ignoring by just being a narrow-minded, even-narrower-visioned individual who probably doesn't comprehend that everything he wears, every building he enters, every vehicle he rides in, every phone he holds, every computer in his office, every piece of furniture he sits upon, every bit of entertainment he enjoys, etc., etc., etc., an artist has created, touched, or improved upon. And with those contributions, artists provide positive economic impact in every state across the nation, including Florida: - Florida's arts and cultural industry generated $5.8 billion of economic activity, including $2.9 billion by nonprofit arts and culture organizations. - This economic activity supports 91,270 full-time jobs and generates $3.8 billion in resident household income. - Florida's arts and cultural industry delivers $694.7 million in local, state, and federal government revenue.
