I was at an event at the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund and it was very humbling. For those of you that are not aware of the Illumination Fund it was "Founded in 2007 by philanthropist Laurie M. Tisch, the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund supports innovative strategies to address long-standing problems in New York City." One of the main ideals of this foundation is that they believe "that an essential part of grant making is to encourage continuous learning and sharing of knowledge." The Foundation understands the role of the artist as creative problem solvers and as people who engage with the sharing of knowledge. The arts couldn't help in the progression of society without Foundations like this.
A question I struggle with is how do we make more people aware that this is one major role of the artist?
