Are you holding a grudge? About?
It’s all hihi haha until the wrong person goes quiet.
That silence.
That’s the sign.

Art needs funding
If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?
And funding needs planning.
1 million in hard cash can either be a quick fix or the beginning of something long-lasting and real. Thing is, art that is original and genuinely creative requires sustained funding over time, so…
1: Get a money person who understands investment and is not a monster. (Tricky, but doable)
2. Invest the 1 million wisely without killing the planet. (Curtail that desire to binge)
3. Have clear milestones regarding funding goals, and don’t forget admin. (Paychecks need paying)
4. Set up rock solid protections so no one can get greedy and conniving without all alarms blaring. (Think long-term)
5. Plan the funding cycle well. (Have a number and stick to it)
6. Be clear on your mission statement. “Just vibes” is a disservice to the artists. You are dealing with people’s creative output and livelihoods. (Be respectful, consistent, and fair)
7. Set up a robust infrastructure to sustainably fund artists over time. (Build it and they will come)
8. Have a nice award artists can take home with them (Hold it up and say, “Cheese!”)

Surprise me
Who are your favorite artists?
Um, which art? And which genre?
Books – Movies – Music – Paintings – Dance – Artisans – ?
There are so many arts to choose from, the number of incredible artists are too many to count.
To me, fave’s come and go. Some turn out to be deeply problematic, if not monstrous, others were a fave for a particular time (teens, twens, that one time while traveling, etc.). Some are constants, though the reasons may change over time.
The gauge is surprise. Whether pleasant or thought-provoking: Surprise me. Make me think. Tug at particular heart strings, without manipulation. Observe something interesting. Tell me something I don’t already know. Reflect on something unexpected. Do something wonderful. Show me your experience of the world we both see.
Art is such a sublime thing, uncontainable and uncontained, any artist who can catch that “spark of divine fire” is worth praise.

Daffodils 2.0
What’s your definition of romantic?
Walking through a meadow and falling in love with all the wildflowers.
Joyful moments, together.
Details, remembered.
Slow boatrides along a languid river.
Long days in sunny places.
Poetry, wine, and candlelight.

Again, too many to count. #dailysnark
