Bob Ross: one of my art heroes.
Two points from the plan stand out for me here: 1. “Attract and retain artists and creative professionals.” 2. “Assemble a culture job corps focusing the skills of cultural sector providers toward citywide issues.” Chicago has one of the nation’s top art schools, creating plenty of artists and creative professionals - and a large portion of those graduates can’t find jobs. We need to create opportunities for art careers (not just unpaid internships) and work to apply art degrees beyond the cultural sector. Fingers crossed that the cultural plan will be the necessary push to expand this area of the job market.
"I often wondered if writing for him was a way of knowing his soul was there after all, back in its place. Of saying to himself, if not to anyone else, that he had seen what he’d seen and felt those terrible things and lived anyway. That he had died but wasn’t dead anymore."
