Read "Let Art Be Light," Merideth's latest substack piece

Original Show Notes:

This week on the show, Merideth answers a question we all tend to ask when the world is on fire. How can I feel creative joy in the face of violence, injustice, and brokenness? She explores why art matters in these moments, especially, and how our creativity offers us a place to process the pain and turn our anxiety into energy that can make a difference. The late famous conductor, Leonard Bernstein, answers the age-old question, "How can we go on?" and we learn about two fantastic non-profits using creativity to change the world.
