"In peacebuilding, the performing arts serve as embodied metaphors on multiple levels. Not only do they metaphorically speak into our inner lives creating spaces of imagination, but they also move us into experiencing and interacting with one another."

Professional.....Community Advocate....City Builder, who is a Visionary and Compassionate Advisor, Coach and Mentor
It's crucial to acknowledge and address the underappreciation of artists in our society. Despite their immense contributions to our culture and entertainment, artists are often taken for granted, and their efforts, time, struggles, and skills are not given the recognition they deserve. The reluctance of people to pay for art, combined with the vulnerability of arts funding, further highlights this issue. It is essential to remember that the world would be a much duller place without the creative outputs of musicians, actors, writers, and other artists. These individuals bring color, vibrancy, and emotional depth to our lives, often filling our leisure time with joy and inspiration. To foster a society that truly values and supports artists, it is essential that we actively advocate for increased funding and appreciation for the arts. This includes recognizing the importance of artistic contributions, promoting fair compensation for artists, and encouraging widespread support for the arts through community involvement, education, and cultural policies. By doing so, we can ensure that the arts continue to thrive, enriching our lives and fostering a more vibrant and inclusive society. #underappreciated #artistsmustbesupporterbyall Sandra Yeung Racco Mario G.

Self-Esteem Arts helps students to communicate and learn how to approach things differently using various arts forms all while building confidence.#ArtsInCT #AfterSchoolPrograms #confidencebuilding
Arts in CT offers a program called "Self-Esteem Arts" designed to assist students in our afterschool program in connecting with their emotions and developing self-confidence. Through various art forms such as visual arts and performing arts, we guide students in expressing their feelings and perceptions. Each day, students explore a concept and create visual representations of their emotions and perspectives. In the attached image, a young man depicted his view of the world by illustrating "Night and Day."

Exposure to art, culture, nature and heritage broadens children's horizons and encourages them to think outside of their immediate circumstances, but the number of students given the opportunity to pursue these interests to GCSE and A-level is dropping significantly year-on-year. Since 2010, participation in arts subjects at GCSE level has dropped by 47%. There are challenges for schools facilitating meaningful access, especially through trips and visitors into school (including financial, time constraints, low staffing levels). On a personal note, I would love to see schools risk assessing for school trips / visitors into school not just by looking at the potential risks of doing *a thing*, but at the potential (though often less immediate) risks of NOT doing it.

At the suggestion of LinkedIn algorithms I am turning this comment into a post and coming out here about how much i am struggling to survive as an artist. I am on the hunt for a 3 day a week properly paid job - as an account manager / consultant / project manager - so i can actually breathe again - and finish my phd: I am seeking a corporate job (if anyone knows of one here please get in touch!). I'm poorer now than I was at 23. The university system used to offer support to artists as lecturers but that is also now a rare thing - most of us are runnning from uni to uni, teaching bits here and there, with no pay over the holidays. I literally don't see any way it is going to improve. Especially for artists (like me) who rarely sell object based works it feels increasingly impossible to scrape together even the basic living. My tax returns are utterly depressing. The paperwork you have to do for each tiny job is yet more unpaid labour. After 22 years of making and curating and teaching art you'd think I may have cracked it by now - but no. And then there are feelings of shame / failure alongside the stress of not knowing how to get through the month. There needs to be much much more transparency on what artists are being paid for things. Sharing events/exhibitions/workshops on Instagram (or here) looks like success. But if there were a fee included as part of that post's info we would see a different story. I did have one well paid gig last week. But everything else is piecemeal. It's utterly depresssing for the arts in this country and for all who benefit and enjoy it. Any leads on any jobs please get in touch! Based in London or Felixstowe/Suffolk or remote.

If anything America and the World needs now, it is healing • Usually healing begins with an acknowledgement and apology of a action that has negatively impacted a person or group of people. • But how can a community truly heal in absence of changed behavior, attitude, or policies? • Healing through language doesn't always necessitate an apology. Instead, it embraces the strength of acknowledgment, understanding, and EMPATHY. It's about creating spaces where voices are heard and validated without the weight of unnecessary remorse. • Moreover, it entails using words that acknowledge pain, validate struggles, and offer genuine EMPATHY. It's about creating a safe environment where individuals feel heard, seen, and understood without the burden of expecting an apology for their feelings or experiences. • And sometimes saying, “I Apologize, please forgive me” can go a long way. •
