On this episode of Arts Engines, Aaron Dworkin speaks with Donna Collins, Executive Director of the Ohio Arts Council and Chair of the Board of Directors of the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA), who reflects on arts advocacy and its profound impact on communities. 🔍 Donna prompts us to question the efficacy of existing formulas and emphasizes the need for meaningful engagement with communities that have been marginalized. Additionally, she highlights the importance of listening to successful practitioners, organizations, and the communities they serve. 💡 Donna champions collaboration as the cornerstone of effective leadership, stressing the power of growing our support networks to navigate challenges and celebrate victories together. 🌟 It's crucial to recognize that advocating for the arts isn't a binary choice, a symptom of White Supremacy Culture, but an essential aspect of our shared humanity. Donna emphasizes the value of cross-sector collaboration, from Arts and Health to Arts and Housing, to foster resilience and unity. ⏳ In challenging times, Donna introduces the "80-10-10" rule, focusing 80% on the mission, 10% on community engagement, and 10% on professional development—a balanced approach for navigating uncertainty while staying true to our goals. However, what would it look like if we gave more effort to our communities and ourselves? #Arts #Culture #ArtsCouncil #Board #Agency #Advocacy #Community #Policy #Ohio #ProfessionalDevelopment #Human #Collaboration
