NO RECESSION OF THE IMAGINATION
"Dead Poets Society" (1989) Directed by Peter Weir
IF YOU’RE NOT ALREADY
A SUPPORTER, CHECK OUT THIS VALUABLE
ARTIST-FOUNDED CHARITY:
The Arts Emergency Service is a charity founded by artists, activists and academics. They work in solidarity with 16-19 year olds from under-represented or disadvantaged backgrounds, especially those young people that wish to pursue an interest in the media, politics, academia and the arts.
An arts degree is not a luxury, these subjects are founded on the conviction that everyone can be educated and that culture is for everyone. But the pressure of university tuition fees and an escalating premium on top jobs mean that many young people will be tempted to play safe. Arts Emergency run an amazing support network that, simply put, creates privilege for those without privilege and gives young people a chance to pursue an education they deserve.
Please support Arts Emergency by completing manifesto link below and passing it on. Best wishes Jake and Dinos Chapman
If you’re looking to support a local children’s organization check out “The Bridge School.” This Bay Area nonprofit was founded in 1986 by Neil Young’s educator/philanthropist wife Pegi, along with co-founders Jim Foreder & Dr. Marilyn Buzolich. The school was created specifically to benefit speech and physically impaired children by employing a holistic system utilising alternative communication in the form of body language, eye contact and other multimodality tools to enable and foster self-expression.
One of the organisation's main funding sources is an annual unplugged benefit concert held each October at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA. Contributing artists have included David Bowie, Foo Fighters, Jack White, Beck and Mumford & Sons among others
...and if you were there in '04, you may have been lucky enough to have caught the debut performance of this song from a band I first saw free in a downtown LA warehouse with Fishbone a very long time ago!
