Yes, Working in the Arts is a “Real” Job: Why I Fight for the Arts The arts are vital to the human experience, and we must do all we can to support arts programming at all levels. "As a child, I was taught to value #music, #theater, and visual arts arts, and spent lots of time in those spaces. Yet, there was always an undercurrent of struggle that ran through all of these organizations. Too often, I feel that the narrative is that the #arts are a dying field, and an industry filled only with struggle, but that is not true. The arts are imperative to our existence, to inspire us, make us question the world around us, and see things in a new way. Even if it feels that in some places, support for the arts is fading, there are many places where they are living, breathing, and thriving. This conference was proof of that, and galvanized me to start thinking about how I view the arts. Even though I have always valued the arts to a high degree, I always saw it as something to pursue as a side gig, never something that could be a “real” job. I feel like when people think about the field of the arts in general, they only think about #actors, #musicians, and #dancers, not all of the people who work behind the scenes to put people on stage. From #venue presenters, ticket offices, #technicians, #agents and managers, the list goes on. Not to go all finance bro on you, but in 2021, the production of arts and cultural goods added $1,016.20 billion dollars to the U.S. economy. Of course, this is an industry that was crippled by the pandemic, and is still working to rebound, but audiences are coming back. In 2022, 48% of all adults attended at least one arts event in person. For so many of us, the pandemic was a chance to re-evaluate our lives and figure out what mattered most. For me, what matters most is support for the arts: seeing wild and wacky things that make me feel something, regardless of if it’s good or bad." #entertainmentindustry #entertainment #filmschool #film #performance #performingarts #fineart #college #university #collegecounseling Amy Goldin, she/her

This particular piece of informatics is my thought on the vision of Audio and Visual Infrastructure, this talks about how spaces like town halls, lecture theatres, auditoriums, Atriums and break out areas can be managed with AV Biomechanics a combination of AV and automation for a particular space.

Ever thought about how arts and culture can shape a brighter future? In fostering an appreciation for the arts, literature, and different cultures, we enrich our lives and broaden our perspectives. Exposure to diverse cultural expressions enhances creativity, empathy, and understanding, which are crucial for personal and societal growth. When we think about how this applies to our legacy planning in terms of wisdom, we remind ourselves that encouraging a love for the arts and culture can positively impact future generations. By instilling these values, we pave the way for a more inclusive and enlightened society. One thing that comes to mind for me is how introducing children to various forms of art, such as painting, music, and theater, not only enhances their creativity but also helps them appreciate different viewpoints and traditions. What about you? How can you imagine fostering a love for the arts and culture contributing to your vision of family or business legacy? Leave a comment below and share how you plan to encourage an appreciation for the arts and culture in your life!

What makes a successful piece of public performance art? Grounded in theatre but branching into many other art forms, performance art has always been disruptive and unpredictable. Piece by Dr Marcos Dias, Assistant Professor in the School of Communications DCU Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, for RTE Brainstorm. 'Dublin was recently in the world's spotlight due to a misbehaving portal and its playful, entertaining, amusing and sometimes offending performances. The concept is simple but powerful: a video portal that connects citizens in Dublin and New York instantly through a real-time video feed. The project is an initiative of the Portals Project, founded by Benekditas Gylys, a self-described active angel-investor and successful entrepreneur-turned artist inspired by his journey of self-revelation in search of a more meaningful life and to bridge cultures from around the world, as stated in the project’s website.' 'The noble aim of the Portal contrasts sharply with the unexpected and transgressive events in Dublin recently, as described in media outlets around the world. On the 9th of May, the Irish Times described the enthusiastic engagement of passersby in Dublin as a sign of its success, with kisses and dance-offs and cartwheels being exchanged, but also pointing out how quickly it became transgressive: 'It took at least half an hour before a guy in a flannel top on the New York side gave the middle finger to the Dubliners, who repeated the gesture back at him enthusiastically.’ Other reported incidents such as episodes of "mooning", displaying swearwords, flashing various body parts’ and an instance of a Dublin user displaying a video of the 9/11 attacks in New York led to the Portal temporarily closing.' 'The concept of the Portal is grounded in several previous performance art projects. Back in 1980, artists Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz developed a Hole in Space, a live video feed displayed on large video screens in public spaces connecting the cities of Los Angeles and New York. At the time, reports described how passersby were mesmerised by this unique experience, with no mention of unruly episodes.'
