No matter how our immediate community evolves, and how the world twists and turns in its strange and often frustrating ways, there will always be a way for the Live Music Project to do what does best: increase access to the arts.

If you're in a giving mood, and you find yourself with the capacity to make a financial contribution, please join me today in supporting the Live Music Project, a one-of-a-kind community-funded organization.

Aligning with purpose can allow a creative endeavor to evolve meaningfully even as circumstances change. For the
Live Music Project (the arts/tech nonprofit I founded back in 2014), sticking close to purpose has helped us focus on the outcomes of our work, rather than being attached to a particular approach. (2/3) #NonprofitStrategy #ArtsNonprofit #ArtsAccess #CommunityCenteredDesign

I've been thinking about the meaning of "purpose" on and off again over the last few years, and it came up again last night as I wrote a proposal for
New Music Gathering's 2023 conference on the same topic.

I wrote out my thoughts on "process" early in the new year of 2021: https://shayalyon.medium.com/on-purpose-54106ec329e9 (1/3) #nonprofitStrategy #artsNonprofit #artsAccess

As one of the 2022-23 Midsumma Pathways Program recipients, we zoom monthly and discuss the highs and lows of being an artist living with a disability, chat about our projects, ask questions, and occasionally have industry experts give us insight. On Thursday we were privileged to have ArtsAccess CEO Caroline Bowditch speak to us about creating work and receiving feedback on our terms. It was a great session. I really hope to meet her one day.

This wall on Sydney Rd will be hosting my art classes work by the Little Projector Company - they've created a projection video of our images to display in December. If you're in Naarm you'll be able to see it from Glenlyon Rd in Brunswick.

Off to my Artsaccess run art class for people with a disability. I go every Tuesday arvo and this is what I wear. (on the back it says "You Only Shoot Blanks At Your Cocksure Best" - my art conveners are very supportive 😂).

On a related topic, my application for an iPad as art therapy through my NDIS plan has been approved! Oh the (art) doors this will open for me as I expand my creativity!
