• 1:05
  Speaker 1: dealing with the journey that I gonna have of that day.

  Speaker 1: And today I reached back and remember one of the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: poems I used to play back in my head when
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I was in college, play back in my head when
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I was up, just trying to figure out who was
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Sean MacDonald is. And this was the name of the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: poem was Invictus. I don't know if anybody ever heard
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: them could call invictis. I'm just to read a few
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: lines from that. Out of the night that covers me.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Black is the pit from pole to pole. I think,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: whatever Gods may be for my uncomfortable soul, if you

• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the fail clutch of circumstance, I have not once nor
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: cried aloud under the bludgeon of chance. My head is bloody,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: buning bout beyond this place of wrath and teals looms.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: But the harbor, the shade, Yet the minutes of the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: years find and shall find me unafraid. I'm telling you God,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: two thirty this one I wasn't afraid. I knew life
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: was gonna give me. I was not afraid as matters,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: not how straight the gate, how charged with punishment the scroll.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I am the master of my faith. I am the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: captain of my soul. That's who you are. Remember that.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Do not let anybody tell you you can't be great.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Come on now, don't let nobody tell you what you
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: can't do. You are the master of your faith. You
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: are the captains years old. Let's get this show role.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: I got a great show lined up for you today. First,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: we're gonna start with this fantastic Arts Clayton Festival. This
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: is happening if the mission of the Arts Clayton is
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: to enrich lives through the arts, because I'm motivated today.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Brian Abert, Executive Director, and Tammory Dodale Daldelle, you gotta
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: get their name right because she about to come up.

  Speaker 3: Rashan McDonald. She's the armor of b Marie. Are key
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: players making it happen. Since an exception, Arts Clayton has
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: focused on three areas of service, which remained the goals
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: of the mission today. Support art education, for students. I
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: know because I played in the band, I was an artist,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: so I value and understand art and how it impact
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: in my life and maybe became made me be the
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: person I am today. Provide venues and exhibit opportunities for artists.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: You know, people always talk about starving artists. Whe are
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: they gonna show their work or what are they gonna perform?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Promote the arts and community development as a means of
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: strengthening the economic vitality and improving the quality of life
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: for families who live, work and studying the community. It's
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: important you hear that because a lot of people understand that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: You know, the arts is marching bands. The arts is
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: all these things that make you feel good about yourself,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: that motivate you to be better. That's what they're involve in.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: We'll be talking to Brian and miss Dardell about how
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: you can make money as an artist, breaking the cycle
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: of quote unquote starving artists, not a music or rapping artists,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: because they have music, film and all that tied into
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: these festivals.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: It's coming this weekend the Caribbean Nights Havana addition and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: International Arts, Music and Film Festival Experience. Please work with
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the money making conversations. Master asked Brian Abert. Because I'm Louisiana,

• 4:06
  Speaker 1: doing all right? I'm saying I'm fired up today, y'all.

• 4:15
  Speaker 1: is fired up today.

  Speaker 1: Great, here's the thing that I wanted to talk about.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: And I was happy to be able to bring you
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: guys on in regards to talking about the festival. When
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you say, and I wanted to throw the questions between you,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Miss Daldell and Miss Abert, between the two of y'all,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: how this works, the arts festival, the Art Clayton Festival
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that's going on. How did you get involved as the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: executive director of Miss d abear.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Hey, mister Rashaan, thank you so much. I got involved. Actually,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: I've been in the arts since I was about since
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: I was about eighteen. I went to Southern University and
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Man and majored in art.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: So you said Southern University, you say, HBCU. Okay, all right,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: there almost with that now, blue and gold. Them jaguars
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: came across that bridge, that dome. I know what you're talking.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: About, yard hump, That the hump.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Your sir, Yes, sir. Continue.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: So I was there, majored in art and they had
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: a phenomenal art program. Had I been a little more
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: westernized in my art upbringing than I probably wouldn't have
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: went to Southern So. I would have went to probably
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: col Arts or one of the California many California art schools.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: But Southern University had a great program. I learned not
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: just the technical aspect of art, but also curatorio. So
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: I became a curator afterwards, an artist. Pursued my career
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: as an artist, visual artist and a curator, and that's
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: what brought me to where I'm at, where I'm at
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: now at Arts Clay.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Before you, before I go to you, miss Dardell, he
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: said a word curator. I don't really know what that means.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I don't want to make sure you give a clear
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: understanding to my audience when you say you became a curator.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: What does that mean there?
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Well, curator is one that organizes exhibitions, exhibitions and project
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: exhibition projects. You know from the actually finding or or
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: being able to communicate with other artists to bring them
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: into to bring them into an exhibition format, choosing the artists,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: choosing the pieces, and also coordinating the work and then
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: installing the work to make it a complete exhibition.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: That's important, Miss Daldell. Welcome to Money Making Conversation Masterclass.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: One of the titles that you hold is owner of
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: B Marie. What exactly is B Marie? Because I know
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: it's happening this weekend. Is an event or an inventor
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: just a couple of times we're going to discuss that,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: But what exactly is B Marie Events?
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: So be Mary actually is the name of it. So
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: my tag lighte is eat, drink and be merry.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: It is oh great, and.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I apologize for the missing nunciation eat drink and be merry.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: Okay, great, Yes, so it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: Is actually an event. Then you a multipurpose event than
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: you were you in a week we hold a lot
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: of seminars, workshops, and various different types of events and
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: on the weekends we primarily host you know, any type
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: of events that you can imagine. And the reason why
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: I incorporated it as an art studio as well is
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: because I too, grew up in the arts from a
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: small child on the way up, and when I became
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: an entrepreneur, I said, whatever business I have, I'm going
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: to incorporate the art within it. And so it also
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: it partners as an art venue, so we do art
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: exhibitions and Brian is my curator. So that's how we
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: connect it. Actually, yeah, so he selects the artists and
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: he curates everything over in my space, so within our community,
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: people are able to actually have two galleries. They can
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: walk across the street and see mine as well as
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: you know what's on exhibit over an art Playton.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, this is an education for me, you know,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to get a clear understanding. And it may may not
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: be the forum to ask these type of questions about
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: what is art? What is the perception of quality art?
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Which it really is the art really the I of
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the beholder? What exactly your curator, Brian? When I talk
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: like this, there's so many things that's a subjective form
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: of what art is. How can we are there like
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: levels or this is a this is a category of art.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: This is a category of art. Help me explain that
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to myself as well as my audists. That's what as
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: my audience.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Well, when you when you come at it from let's
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: say a mainstream approach. Listen, you know you're looking at
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: museums and galleries and so you'll start to break down
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: contemporary art, modern art and all these other categories. And
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: so for me it makes sense. But then at you know,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: looking at it from a more outside of the Western framework,
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: you know, because in that framework, we don't really have
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: a place as far as the artists, either indigenous or
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: black artists out here, not necessarily because of the art.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: A lot of the art that we put together, most
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: of the art we put together is dealing with our situation,
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: you know, coming out of a situation. And when you
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: look at like your so called modern art and and uh,
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: you know anything European.
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: Social social art social, Well it's not social, but let's
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: say we respond off of our social off of art, uh,
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: social and economic situation right right, So you'll see artwork
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: that reflects.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: You know, themes that deal with with us. And so
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: those themes were never put into the art books when
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: you study art, and you know, typically the only black
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: art you're looking at was like uh, Chemmic Egypt Kimmic,
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: and you're in there for a hot minute, and then
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: you you on Greece, you on Rome, you on you know,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: you get into the you know, from from like Leonardo
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: da Vinci, Picasso, you studying all these guys, your expressionists,
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: your abstract expressionists. There's no room for the black artists
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: in that. So as you come forward in America, then
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: you start getting into black artists. Talking about the Black
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: arts movement in the sixties and the seventies, that work
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: was very all of it. When you look at any
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: black artists, especially noteworthy black artists, they were always dealing
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: with our social and economics situation at that time. So
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: that just falls into the category of like black artists.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Let to say, it doesn't really have its own So
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: now you have people it's very popular, they'll say black
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: art and necessarily in itself really don't make sense either
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: because it's just saying black art. But then, you know,
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: so we still have a lot of growing to do
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: in our classification of what black artists and indigenous artists
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: are creating, right.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Because that's important as because you go to my house,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you know, I got all from Belie, you know, like
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: a talk or hand sketched art. I got art from
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: South Africa. That's my most dominant art work at my
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: house is these large like you said, social you know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you see people in the community, you see them the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: lifestyle that they live. That type of art is presented.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: So I could relate what you were saying from an
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: artist standpoint. And so when I go out and I
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: look at art and you and you from a perspective,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I'm slide over to miss Daldell and talking about b
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Breid because you're talking about galleries and he's your curator.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Talk about what was your goal in establishing the gallery
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and what type of art form we're looking for. Because
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to be really creative because we're talking about
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: a visual conversation here, and a visual conversation, we have
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: to imagine what we're talking about. So walk us through
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: that lane exactly what you are trying to do and
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: what we would expect when we come to you know Haven.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: A addition, this weekend, okay.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: And putting together be Merry events in art studio, I
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: had two things in mind. It was exposure and opportunity.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: It was exposure for the people that came into my
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: business to hope their events so that they can be
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: able to view art from different perspectives, different cultures, and
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: it was the opportunity for the artists because you know,
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: they the artists are sometimes always looking for places where
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: people can view their art and not often do we
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: take the time to go to an art gallery, you know,
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: And so it's bringing it to them in their event
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: so that they people are getting to see it from
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: abroad and more often because my doors are open and
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: they have a massive amount of people that come through.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: So you're looking at about you know, at least twenty
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: five hundred people within a week that'll come through and
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: get an opportunity to view the different work from them.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Twenty five hundred people in your gallery a week, that's
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: all week.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: Because you have to have Yeah, so when people have events,
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: they have it anywhere from fifty to one hundred people
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: over a weekend and throughout the week during the day
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: if they're doing a workshop or if we're hosting an
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: event for the local community.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, so when you so so in other words, when
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: an artist displays it, presents or showcases their artwork at
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: your gallery or they have to they have to present
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: an event there. In another word, bring, bring and bring
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: in a certain amount of people and do. And now
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I got to ask this part of it. How is
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: money made in this art world?
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: So the money is made that the art world because
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: people actually purchase the pieces, and so the venue is
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: open to whatever. They don't have to book a certain number. Okay,
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: people could come through, yeah, to see the facility. I
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: mean it's open when people have their private events, the
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: artists viewed by everyone that is there.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: And so so if I come in, Okay, I walk
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: in there, it's free, I'm assuming is it free?
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: Yes, it is free if you just want to come
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: and view the artwork.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Come in and I just see that the prices are
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: right underneath along with the artist's name. And then the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: just got to ask this question, So how does you
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: make money? Do you charge the artists commission on the
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: artist's soul? How does that work?
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: Yes, well that actually works out with Brian for me,
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: I've given the artists an actual free opportunity.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: So mister curator, I got to go back to mister
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: curator over there. Okay, Okay, I'll be back over that,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: mister bar in a minute.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: Okay, Ryan works that all out with them. In regard
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: to me making money, I make money when people book
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: their events there. So whether it's a wedding reception, birthday, party, anniversary,
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: you know, you name it. We have election season coming up,
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: so a lot of people will come through there, you
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: know that will book the facility to have different type
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: of meetings and fundraisers and things of that.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: Story cool.

  Speaker 8: of Inspiration with Rashaan McDonald's.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Gospel rapper Lacree has won multiple Grammy and Billboard awards
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: and he is one of my favorite Christian rappers. He
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: stated that he is focusing on faith over religion. I
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: asked him to explain, sometimes.
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: I think you wear that face. You just put on
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: those lenses that allow you to just keep going and
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: pushing through without dealing with the problems and the trauma,
• 16:38
  Speaker 9: and you allow successes to define you. Instead of you
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: being successful out of a healthy and whole version of yourself,
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: You're allowing the successes to convince you that you are
• 16:48
  Speaker 9: healthy and whole. And I think that's a very different thing.
• 16:51
  Speaker 9: And so to me, it was a matter of becoming
• 16:54
  Speaker 9: a healthy, whole individual and dealing with some historical traumas
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: and recognizing that it was a slave what other people
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: wanted of me, and not being grew I was created
• 17:03
  Speaker 9: to be.

  Speaker 1: Nights Havanah addition and International Art, Music and Film Festival Experience.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I have on the line the owner b Mary. That's
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: missus Tamery Daldell, and then we have mister Brian Abert.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, who is the executive director. As the executive director,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I've mentioned three things there. I mentioned art, music and film.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Let's talk. Let's talk about the film. What exactly are
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: we talking about. We're talking about independent productions and we
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: do mainstream or studio films. When you talk about the
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: film festival, Brian.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: The films are by independent filmmakers. We've got shorts and
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: a few features to show and share with the community.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: We have some and it's a diverse group of filmmakers.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Shorts and a couple of features. So we'll be showing
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: those to support the filmmakers and the film arts. So
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: it'll open up with an international exhibition which is titled
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: International Spirit Part three, Hand in Hand, which is basically
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: is the collection of artists from Havana, Cuba, from the
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Jose Martin Community Arts Collective, artists from the United States
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: that have been shown. We've been showing together for years,
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: so collaborating with our brothers over there in Havana, that's
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: what this show is. We actually did a show in
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Havana in twenty nineteen, right before the pandemic. That was
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: the International Spirit Part two, Persistence and Resistance, And so
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: we brought it full circle because we weren't able to
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: get their work here when we first attempted to do
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: something exhibition wise, so this is our opportunity. And what
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: we did was through our travels to Havana, we started
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: collecting work, buying work from our artists comrades, bringing it over,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: framing it up, getting it ready so that at some
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: point we would have a group still here in the
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: United States.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Right, So when you talk about so they're not being judged,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: is just being screened?
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, the films are just being shown. Yes, strictly, okay.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Cool, as we'll be married. It was a free charge
• 19:16

  Speaker 1: What about the film festival?
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: Film Festival is absolutely free. The opening reception on Friday
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: from seven to nine that our Playtan will be absolutely
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: free for the opening reception as well as the film screening.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: When we move across the street to be Married, it'll
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: be a continue because we'll have a part with the
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: same exhibition just extends to be Married, and the same
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: films that we're showing that they'll be showing to be
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Married against Station Osti view as well.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Now, Miss Dowdell, he sounded like you when you move
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: across the street, sounds like it could be some some
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: party and some music going on be Married, because it
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: is be Married now. It is be Married right the
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: way he said it though, look like I need to
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: go on there and be hanging out at be Married.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: Yes, that's what it means. Passion is enjoying. You definitely
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: are invited. So yes, So after you're dealing the exhibition
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: across the street, you'll have another one over at be Married, Right,
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: and it's more of a party atmosphere, and we'll also
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: be showing the short the short films as well. We'll
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: have a bar and some music and people are able
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: to you know, bring out their cigars and you know,
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: the art and just have a great time.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Cool. Now, let's talk about the importance of education to
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the community and to the youth, because, like I shared
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the story, I remember in fifth sixth grade, I used
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: to hand draw art. I used to love wrestling back
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: then I almost got kicked out of school because I
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: spent more time drawing and because I could actually if
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I saw your face, I could actually draw it and
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: the likeness of it. And then then in middle school
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I was got into music. I was first chair of
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: B flat clarinet and then also tennis saxophone and play
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the alto saxophone. And so I know that my degree
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: now in mathematics, I know that the arts, especially music,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: played a major role in my memory, my discipline, and
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: my ability to be you communicate, am I am I
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: saying too much? Did the art have that impact on me?
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just assuming it did because it did change my
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: life being involved in the arts. I want you to explain, Brian,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the impact of the community, especially on the educational side.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: When you start talking about film, music and arts.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean the arts definitely has that kind
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: of power. It's proven that students who take on or
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: who study art in school, it enhances their academic abilities
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: and academic training. It takes them to another level. The
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: arts does stimulate economic development. I know it saves lives
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: because it definitely saved my life growing up in Los Angeles, California,
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: gang culture. You know, it was art that brought me
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: to pool, me out of the negative environment. And you know,
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: like because you're around this stuff daily and it's the
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: only thing you see outside, you know, other than playing sports,
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: you know, other than you know, it's it's really predominant
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: in your life. But it was hip hop culture, you know,
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: all the positive brand, Nubian public enemy, all that, and
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: then and then getting into drawing and painting, that was
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: just a great distraction from that negative environment. So a
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: lot of brothers who grew up in and not in that,
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: you know, born in the seventies and eighties and grew
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: up through the nineties and two thousands, they'll mostly tell
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: you the same thing that the art. You know, most
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: of my artists comrades, they'll tell you that the art
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: really brought them through. So it's it's a power of
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: something powerful and it's something that all of our youth
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: should have access to.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is important. I know that I should
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: as a stand up comedian, I should travel around this
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: country and I can't. Music kept me awakening. Music, music
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: in between drive kept me there and inspire. They have
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: my mind active and it's people are The power of
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: music is so important, especially I think in any community,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: but especially I think in the Black community, because it's
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: such the rhythm, the different cultures. Like I said, you
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: know the Cuban music. I'm a big fan of the
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Cuban music too, And so come on, now we can
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: sit down keeping music. You know that that was introduced
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: to me. And then of course you know it's gonna
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: be real. Paul Simon introduced me to the affing music.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: You know when when it's when this album came out
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: many years ago, you know. And so those those sounds,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: know they are not R and B. No, they are
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: not you know, hip hop, but the rhythm and the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: beats come out of that though, they evolve out of that.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: They make you motivate, you to realize that you can
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: do something different in life. These compelling thoughts is the
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: driving force of Arch Clayton. How can you tell us
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: my listeners how they can find more information about it, Brian,
• 23:56

  Speaker 1: something that changed my life, that's the arts. Arts from
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: the standpoint of physically drawing as well as being a
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: contributing my life from a music standpoint, it really did
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: change our life. I knew about Bach, I knew about Mozart,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: I knew about Beethoven. Beethoven because of the fact that
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: it inspired me to think differently and live a different life.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: And so it guess gets lost, specially HBCUs because we
• 28:31

• 28:35
  Speaker 1: on that field life is being changed because of music
