The last couple of years have been incredibly hard. Amidst all this upheaval, we’ve struggled to know how best to care for our communities. Whether you’re an artist helping to imagine better futures or a leader trying to solve complex problems, you need a break. We all do. So, what’s next? Let’s start by Filling the Well.
In this new podcast debuting on all platforms on February 28, you will hear from ten creative changemakers as they share their takes on how to harness creativity by shifting power dynamics, avoiding burn-out, building authentic community, sharing resources, and advocating for support.
Filling the Well is hosted by award-winning journalist Marianne Combs. “It’s been such a pleasure to have these conversations with some of the most creative minds in the field,” said Combs. “I hope artists and arts administrators will find the Filling the Well series both useful and inspiring as they navigate the challenges and opportunities of this unique moment in history.”
With each podcast episode, you’ll find links to explore these ideas further in the Arts Midwest Ideas Hub. Be the first to hear about new episodes and resources by signing up for the Arts Midwest newsletter and checking the box Professional Development Tools.
Filling the Well is made possible with financial support from the Barr Foundation. Based in Boston, the Barr Foundation’s mission is to invest in human, natural, and creative potential, serving as thoughtful stewards and catalysts.
