"Starving Artist" vs. Entrepreneur: Is the language we use around the arts helping or hurting?
ERPA: Next Gen Debate Series
Tuesday, May 17 at 7pm
Using a structured debate format with a moderator, participants will be divided into teams to debate and discuss the following issues. Do you pay yourself a living wage to make your work? Do you value your work as something that needs to happen? Does “non-profit” equal art-as-charity, a luxury commodity, a non-necessity? Does it support entrepreneurship? How does this language help art-makers to be seen, fundraise and be recognized as important and critical? Debaters include Morgan von Prelle Pecelli, Jean Ann Douglass, Catherine Peila and Shalonda Ingram. Moderated by Andy Horwitz.
ERPA: Next Gen Debate Series will be held at Abrons Art Center in the Underground Theater, 466 Grand Street, at Pitt Street.

Using a structured debate format, moderated by Kay Takeda of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, participants will be divided into teams to debate and discuss the following issues.Twitter, Facebook, blogs, websites, apps etc.: What do these do to an already tense and widening generational gap? How can one stay afloat and keep tabs on every stream? How do you decide what level of engagement is right for you? Is this an opportunity or an obstacle for the performing arts community? This debate will investigate the myriad ways this “flood of material” is (mis)used, consumed and disseminated. Debaters include Brian McCormick, Eva Yaa Asantewaa, Mathew Heggem, Sarah A.O. Rosner and Wendy Perron.
