With the passing of the #SaveOurStages act in the United States Congress, there is finally a light on the horizon for artists who have been out of work due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But that kind of legislation is not a silver bullet; In order to secure change, we need to continually and tactfully remind of leaders how they can best serve people in the arts industry.One of the organizations leading that charge is Be An Arts Hero. An intersectional grassroots campaign comprised of Arts &amp; Culture workers, Unions, and institutions in the United States, Be An Arts Hero is pushing the Senate to allocate proportionate relief to the Arts &amp; Culture sector of the American economy. Last week, The Ensemblist’s Francesca Granell talked with two of the Co-Organizers leading Be An Arts Hero, Carson Elrod and Jenny Grace Makholm, about their campaign, what the response from senators has been and what we can do to help.

#455 - Raise Your Voice (Be An Arts Hero - feat. Carson Elrod, Jenny Grace Makholm) 

Brooke Ishibashi

Mid-March of this year was a uniquely devastating time for theater and the arts industry as a whole. Broadway and Off-Broadway here in New York as well as theaters all around the country began to close for what they thought would be a possible one-month shut down.  At the time playwright Lynn Nottage tweeted: “Emotionally and financially preparing for theaters across the country to be shut down. Mourning the beautiful work that will be lost. Alas, protecting our practitioners and our audiences is essential.” But as you and I know, it’s lasted much longer than anyone anticipated. And while the loss of jobs and the lack of theater options for audiences were immediately felt, there has been a further impact in communities and states around the country. From regional and local theaters to touring companies, stage work has a financial impact beyond just the box office.  For example, the 2016-17 touring season in cities like Charlotte, NC generated more than $38.2 million in economic impact. In Tempe, AZ their Broadway Season brought in $100 million. And more recently, in Denver the seven-week pre-Broadway run of frozen added about $30 million to the local economy. Theater and the arts are a driving economic indicator in cities and regions around the country, which is why it is vital that we save this industry and do what we can to become an arts hero. Be An Arts Hero is an intersectional grassroots movement emphasizes arts and cultures $877 billion value added contribution to the nation's economy, highlighting the human and financial toll of letting the contribution collapse. Carson Elrod and Brooke Ishibashi, two of the organization's founders, join the podcast today to share their goal of keeping all 5.1 million Americans who work in the arts 1) alive 2) in their homes and 3) with jobs to return to when the crisis subsides.
