A really well done study. One major takeaway for any of us involved in evaluating grants or distributing grant money is the disproportionately high number of large budget organizations receiving the bulk of grants funding. This seems to be a recurring theme in other studies and we need to do better in getting to smaller and BIPOC organizations that are in need. #artsfunding #grants

Topic Tuesday: The Arts, from Frivolous to Fundamental... When did the ARTS become a four-letter word? You know, you get the 'not again' eye roll when you start the 'impact of the arts' conversation. 🙄 As nonprofit arts CEOs, we've all faced the frustrating challenge of conveying the profound impact of the creative sector amidst the sea of demands from donors. But here's the secret: To turn your arts advocacy into results, focus on showcasing how the arts are not just "feel-good" but fundamental for solving human service challenges. It's about weaving narratives that connect art with solutions, creativity with innovation, and culture with progress. Let's make 'ARTS' synonymous with 'FUNDAMENTAL' by relating the work to real-world problem-solving. Feel free to comment on how you went from frivolous to fundamental. #ArtsAdvocacy #FundamentalArts

The power of arts education in shaping our future cannot be overstated. According to Americans for the Arts, access to quality arts education is crucial for students' success both in school and in life. Key benefits of arts education include: • Enhanced problem-solving skills • Improved collaboration and creativity • Increased student motivation and engagement • Better overall school performance and attendance Despite these clear advantages, many students still lack access to comprehensive arts programs. As business leaders, we have the opportunity to make a difference. Organizations like North Carolina Arts in Action are working to bring arts education to all students. By investing in such initiatives, we can help ensure the next generation receives a well-rounded education that includes the arts. Let's work together to create a future where every child has the chance to explore their creative potential and develop essential skills for success. What steps can your organization take to support arts education in your community?#ArtsEducation #StudentSuccess #CommunityInvestment

🌱 Through our residencies, fellowships, and public programs, The LP continuously uplifts our community's legacies while breathing life into an equitable future led by Black, Indigenous, POC artists and neighbors. Today, we recall Toni Morrison's brilliant essay titled "The Future of Time: Literature and Diminished Expectations". As part of her book titled The Source of Self-Regard, this essay asks us to reimagine ourselves as authors of time. Morrison creates space for us to consider a world that holds our collective past and the complexities of our present and creates space for a radical liberatory future: “Perhaps it is the reality of a future as durable and far-reaching as the past, a future that will be shaped by those who have been pressed to the margins, by those who have been dismissed as irrelevant surplus, by those who have been cloaked with the demon's cape..” pg. 126 ✨ Think & Reflect: How might we stray away from colonial representations of the past, and instead honor our ancestors, live into the present, and dream of a better future?
