This article is short but begins to hit on a really big issue for Georgia artists. For decades, PushPush Arts has never held auditions or traditional methods of accessing opportunities.

It's a difficult road to navigate and we change a lot every year through input from working artists -- or those who'd like to be working.

Our goals are two-fold: to increase the quality of individual artists' development, and 2. to increase their ability to sustain a career that doesn't hold them back.

Outrage and resentment: the arts are not a meritocracy Some parts of the professional industry operate under a veneer of a meritocracy. But artists aren't buying it.

California Shakespeare Theater Will Close its Doors California Shakespeare Theater, known as Cal Shakes, will close its doors. A statement on the company's website, from Executive Director Clive Worsley, cites 'insurmountable financial impasse' as the reason for the closure.

Excited for this new adventure!

HIGH RISK, BABY! Produktion und Gastspiel des PushPush Theatre, Atlanta, USA

We're hoping to get our short play fest to include some of the incredible writing coming out of Ukraine of late. Here's some amazing work by Kristin Milward who brought her show from London's Finborough Theater to PushPush last year.

A Dictionary of Ukrainian Emotions. Kristin Milward: I want to go home In the second episode of “A Dictionary of Ukrainian Emotions” podcast, the renowned British actress Kristin Milward performs a reading of a short play “I Want to Go Home” by Oksana Savchenko, written in the aftermath of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

MONDAY NIGHT LAB | PushPush Arts A Weekly Script & Scene Workshop

🎉🎉🎉 Dear ROOTers,
Are you interested in art spaces and/or participating in an Atlanta-based arts community? Are you seeking a leadership position in the arts? Is your arts organization considering relocation or expansion?

Alternate ROOTS members at PushPush Arts are excited to invite other ROOTers to an open forum about the incredible opportunities for collaboration, partnership, studio space, job creation and leadership with local and even national ROOTers who may be interested in opportunities at our expansive 23,000 sq. ft. art campus in Historic Downtown College Park, GA. PushPush recently acquired its own dedicated 5,000 sq. ft. ground floor space at the heart of this campus. This ownership has given us a seat at the table, ensuring we are not pushed out of the market and can sustain our mission to support artists.

This is a Rhizome FOR & BY ROOTers to explore creative spaces, potential partnerships, and possible job creation opportunities at PushPush Arts’ new campus.

Saturday, October 19, 6-8pm
1805 Harvard Avenue, College Park GA 30337
(Adjacent to the College Park MARTA Station)
FREE for Alternate ROOTS Members

Tech rehearsal black box theater! It was fun to adjust the blocking for this venue. I love my cast. It’s a special thing to bring something to life off of the page, especially with great actors who also happen to be friends and family ❣️Thank you to each of them and to of . You know I love working with you.

SeedWorks monthly meeting is next Monday (10/7) at 6PM.

While we're not big fans of "self-help" lists etc, this article does indeed provide some very helpful advice for working artists.

We always think the problem is doing the art well or poorly and this will define our success or failure. We like to imagine wrestling with artistic issues is what's "hard" about being a working artist.

Rarely is this ever the case. Wrestling with artistic solutions is the fun part and it's the personal sh*t that gets in our way -- damn near every time!

40 Life Lessons I Know at 40 (That I Wish I Knew at 20) Today is my 40th birthday.

There are root causes for Atlanta's stunted development and lack of a cohesive arts eco-system.

You've heard, follow the money? In the arts, like everywhere else, the money stems from property ownership.

Content, original scripts, and other creative work are called Intellectual Property. Today, we in Atlanta repeatedly ignore this most important asset and the people who create it because original work, in its best, most powerful form, it is far from shiny and pleasing to a popular audience. (Great cultural cities get this and some in Atlanta do as well.)

We need to develop our content creators! And we need to support them so they will stay. It will take time and commitment. No more virtue signaling. We need to have real, difficult conversations about why we continue to ignore the development of our creative arts workforce, in favor of constantly courting outside content creators that cost Atlanta and return the investment to other cities.

And isn't the commitment to developing content creators at the heart of the Sundance?

Let’s leverage our loss of the Sundance Film Festival into action - SaportaReport Read Let’s leverage our loss of the Sundance Film Festival into action by Maria Saporta for SaportaReport here.

She was longing to create, and not doing so had become a problem. Deadwyler would regularly ask herself, What the hell is missing!? The answer was clear: “It was the daily practice of art,” she says.

Danielle Deadwyler: Made in Atlanta Danielle Deadwyler’s work is inventive, thought-provoking, and captivating; Hollywood was always eventually going to take notice. Station Eleven, The Harder They Fall, and Till made clear that she had the screen presence to command viewers’ attention and the emotional depth to sway their hearts....
