Did a presentation today for all of the top high school artists. We discussed all of our project and how we went about building them.
Here at Tyler FuQua Creations, we are ready to take the next step, and we would love your help. Please share this across the web to all lovers of art and help us fulfill our dream of making magic for the masses. Thank you in advance!

“It’s no coincidence that every administrative arts worker I know is burnt out,” said author Benjamin Akio Kimitch. “We all know how hard and underpaid the work is, but we want to make our own contributions to the community that inspires us, so when we imagine making a change, our dreams are generally about the devil we know.”
Kitmitch discusses similarities in the encounters between artist and administrator, and how, “the desire for change reverberates through all of us who together create, perform, fundraise, amplify, administer, buy tickets, and donate money.”
“I hope there is still time for us to slow down. To acknowledge what we share. To care for each other.”

On May 12, Equity, “published a global scoping review of 111 academic studies related to mental health and wellbeing in students and professionals within the performing arts. This landmark study was commissioned by Equity. It’s launched alongside a new Mental Health Charter at a panel event to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.”
“The review by Dr Lucie Clements found a clear trend for increased mental health concerns across the performing arts, although findings regarding the prevalence of mental health concern vary greatly.” It identified a scope of contributing factors, including, “culture of unstable work,” and that, “lack of industry regulation of working conditions and mental health,” lead to mental health issues.

“This commitment was made in the wake of Covid and Black Lives Matter. And to date, there have been no answers to the question,” said Arts Professional UK author Kevin Osborne. “Two years on, as life moves to a post-Covid norm and memories of the killing of George Floyd fade, ACE’s commitment to increased racial equity is being severely tested.”
Arts Council England outlines their plan to, “increase funding to Black-led organisations,” which includes:
Geographic versus racial equity
Moral and ethical leadership vs self interest
Need for transparent monitoring of racial diversity
We must all take responsibility
“This change is possible and must start in the next spending round so we can achieve racially equitable funding within our lifetimes.”
