Dear Artists, allies, and future collaborators, Thank you (all 27,500+ of you!!) for joining the movement to save the NEA and support Arts in America! (Change.org/SaveTheNEA). We are so heartened and enthusiastic about the outpouring of generosity over the last days and are full steam ahead with our Viral Music video project to build momentum and awareness (1 song, 1 goal, every discipline) Please stay tuned for more on that! As the video is coming to fruition, we are looking to involve musicians and artists to begin with in NYC and LA, and will provide information on submitting videos for those of you not in those cities. We are looking to represent the diverse music and art created in and inspired by our diverse country. Additionally, we are looking to feature artists of note with the goal of drawing as much attention as possible in support of the NEA. Here is a list of our immediate volunteer needs and requests. We are taking inventory and then will be able to provide shooting dates. Please reach out to our new email savetheNEAvideo@gmail.com if you or someone you know is able to contribute one of the following: NYC - Professional Singers and musicians: Broadway, Opera, Pop, Rap, Rock, Spoken word and poetry, etc. - Professional dancers and choreographers, from modern dance to ballet, hip hop, and anything in between! - Lighting designer (with equipment) - Videographers (with HD gear) - Access to a large recording studio - Experienced Production assistants Special note: To the painters, collage artists, mixed media artists, designers, animators and all visual artists who responded - thank you! We are working now to involve your amazing work in the project, and we will be in touch soon. Again, thank you all!
