The Artist's Legacy Toolkit will help you organize and preserve your materials in ways that are practical but neither time-intensive nor expensive. See below for guidelines on how to use the Toolkit depending on where you are in your career.

    "The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible."- Toni Cade Bambara "It has become easier for people to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism" -Mark Fisher Meaningful art transforms, alters, and incites. Making art as a form of expression, a practice for truth telling and rooted in assembly is powerful. Art is a realm of dreams, imagination, and possibility. It offers us the majestic consciousness of feeling, the undeniable truth, and a sense of community. Great art encourages us to delve beneath the surface of human consciousness and to make the invisible visible.

What Critics Get Wrong About Creative Cities - Jobs & Economy - The Atlantic Cities - 1 views

  •  
    This is what Jane Jacobs taught us long ago in her book The Economy of Cities. This is what the Nobel Prize winning economist Robert Lucas meant when he formalized Jacob's argument into a theory of "human capital externalities" that stem from the dense clustering of people in cities as the basic mechanism of economic growth. Cities themselves power economic progress, driving artistic, technological, and overall economic growth at one and the same time.

IDEAS CITY - 0 views

    The New Museum began as an idea in the mind of founding Director Marcia Tucker.
