MN Arts Organizations Rise and Respond: Donation Links
The Jerome Foundation was founded by Jerome Hill (1905-1972), a noted filmmaker, composer and painter, and awards grants to emerging artists in Hill’s home state of Minnesota and New York City, where he spent much of his creative life.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

"Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?
Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…
Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.
Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

If you are a dramaturg, save this post. I guarantee an actor will ask you about this one day (if they haven't already).

that feeling of being ten and sinking your teeth into a Grownup Book full of words you imperfectly understand, staying up too late reading under the covers with your flashlight, is one of the defining joys of nerd childhood. let reading be a little dangerous!

New play submissions are due to the O'Neill on September 18th and to Great Plains Theatre Commons on October 15. So it's time for my annual reminder: many of the folks reading and adjudicating for these kinds of festivals also work at/for other theaters around the country...

The parade was cancelled due to weather right before it was set to begin. Bernie was already lined up, so he marched anyway. I love Vermont.

All of these women artistic directors are stepping down and many of them are being replaced by men and seasons are starting to reflect it.

LOL. They’ve updated their season announcement page to include playwright and director names now. Too bad updating gender disparity is not as easy.
Playwrights Horizons, arguably one of the leading #newplay theaters in the country, just announced a 25/26 season that's nearly devoid of women writers and directors.
I almost missed that fact because I initially closed the page in disgust upon seeing that they failed to credit their playwrights.
