Happy election week, friends of Teaching Artistry with Courtney J. Boddie! We’re back with new episodes, and this time, it’s political. Our newest two-episode arc, titled “Courtney Goes To Washington,” recorded over two days at the Arts Advocacy Day conference, coordinated by our friends at Americans for the Arts, in Washington, D.C., is ready for download! In this important series, featuring Stephen Butler (CNY Arts), Drew Malmuth (National Guild for Community Arts Education) and Caroline Moore (Diller Quaile School of Music), Courtney and her colleagues engage in poignant conversations around arts advocacy, the arts as an instrument for social justice and the intrinsic impact of the arts. Let's be honest: in dark, divisive times like these, it's important to find things that bring us joy and light, that offer fun, amusement, entertainment and, yes, even broaden our sense of self and the world around us. Art does that. Art unifies us, challenging us to think differently and empathize with others and their experiences. We, at Teaching Artistry with Courtney J. Boddie, hope to inspire you to be ripples of light and advocates for the arts. Don't miss these powerful episodes!
