I am often asked why I left my performing arts studio, even though the pandemic was incredibly disruptive to our business, ability to offer performing opportunities, and lives. This gifted article link may shed some light on the subject. As it indicates, rising costs and real estate constraints are significant hurdles that are only increasing, causing theater companies to reduce programs, consolidate on season planning, and share space. This results in less work for artists as well as less art for the community they serve. We need MORE organizations to collaborate on space, co-productions, and community-building. We need more sustainable models moving forward, in order to provide meaningful arts programming. #theater #collaboration #community #sustainablemodels

As much as I love doing business, nothing is more important to me than my nonprofit Save The Creatives Foundation. Being able to provide different spaces, educational workshops, and engaging interactions for creators is super important to me. Our Vision is to empower creatives to use the arts to become hyper-efficient advocates for social change. Storytelling inspires action and drives change to unite communities. Artistic expression is a universal language, by leveling the playing field, Save The Creatives Foundation (savethecreatives.org) gives voice to local artists and amplifies their reach and impact on a global level. This common language of the arts allows change to be shared and spread building momentum for global expression starting within local communities.

We know the importance of giving back to our communities and helping those in need. That's why Children's Lighthouse is partnering with Toys for Tots to give presents to children who may not typically get them. Watch this video of our franchise owner, Alexis Legg, talking more about the initiative: https://bit.ly/471kzSo#ChildrensLighthouse #ChildcareFranchise #EarlyLearningFranchise #EarlyLearningSchool #EarlyChildhoodEducation #EducationFranchise #EducationBusiness

Please consider joining us Monday evening (June 10, 5–7 p.m.) at Merriment Social for a big conversation about the performing arts in Milwaukee. Complimentary appetizers and cash bar. Technically, this is about policy, but it's also about what is needed to sustain a vibrant arts community. Elaine Schmidt and I co-researched and co-authored a Wisconsin Policy Forum report with WPF President Rob Henken (see link to the report, Curtain Time, within the below invitation). The report is the impetus for the event. It explores the sector's sustainability, looks at critical decisions on the horizon, and highlights what's working in other cities. Please register through the link below so the WPF has a headcount. #PerformingArts #Nonprofit #Philanthropy #WisconsinPolicyForum
