How compassionate, inclusive and forward thinking is this ERPA initiative. <BR/><BR/>I am at a time in my life -- 10 years of creating art independently and recognizing that the models I've tried have not been successful in the ways I would like. <BR/><BR/>Synchronously with ERPA, I have begun to explore new options of let's call it "thrival" as opposed to survival. Whereas I sometimes have a tendency towards self-doubt, the ERPA initiative is inspiring me to widen my scope of vision to look at other fields for inspiration. It is also strengthening my resolve to bring my artistic sensibility to the table in order to create a full and sustainable life for myself and others. It's helping me take steps into new territiory rather than just thinking about how nice that journey might be.<BR/><BR/>I am so happy that an organization such as the Field exists to inspire, support, encourage and connect oftentimes isolated independent artists to one another and the world at large in ever new ways.<BR/><BR/>In addition to the money/grant being offered and perhaps more importantly, you have begun a forum for discussion and generation of new ideas with regard to "thrival" not only for each of us as individuals but for our community, NYC and perhaps even the world at large. It reminds us that we do have value to offer and that the world would be a dreary place without us. We do however, have to find more concrete ways of meeting the world rather than making work in our corners and hoping the world will eventually find and value us.<BR/><BR/>Again, my deepest gratitude and hats off to The Field and Jennifer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193266510005445757.post-31677970118525803052008-10-01T18:41:00.000-04:002008-10-01T18:41:00.000-04:00http://www.wnyc.org/news/articles/111211http://www.wnyc.org/news/articles/111211cookie!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14983754791262482053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193266510005445757.post-54074558864286449852008-10-01T10:54:00.000-04:002008-10-01T10:54:00.000-04:00Karma: Thanks for the feedback on facilitation mod...Karma: Thanks for the feedback on facilitation models.

After attending this year's National Performing Arts Conference in Denver, delegates were introduced to an incredible resource called "Good to Great and <BR/>the Social Sectors" - Why Business Thinking Is Not The Answer by Jim Collins. It's an incredible resource that touches upon so many of the things raised in today's session, and I believe it would prove extraordinarily useful to our efforts to create a movement.Albertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07547281420430847777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193266510005445757.post-27685417866671029622008-09-30T17:34:00.000-04:002008-09-30T17:34:00.000-04:00Audio file for today's Joe's Pub Invention Session...Audio file for today's Joe's Pub Invention Session will be up soon.
