With a transit referendum on the November ballot and concerns swirling around Metro Arts and MNPD, it's a crucial time for our city — but he still found time to go on the record discussing his essential under-the-radar spots, the Nashville critter that scares him most, and the surprising truth about his favorite hot chicken.

As much as we all love drama, we'd prefer it stayed on stage. At the June 4 council meeting, Metro Council approved the $200,000 settlement that would ensure former Director Daniel Singh's resignation from the Metro Arts Commission. This is just the latest in a multiyear long conflict regarding equity — within the Metro Arts staff, between Metro Arts and other Metro departments, and in the Thrive award application process.Instead, back-and-forth about deficits and decorum has ruled the conversation, leaving independent artists and organizations alike to operate this fiscal year without actually receiving the funding Metro Arts awarded them. Today, we'll hear perspectives on the source of these issues and from affected local artists.This episode was produced by Elizabeth Burton. Guests:  Joy Styles, Metro Councilmember for District 32 Jamie Hollin, attorney for former Director Daniel Singh Sangeetha Ekambaram,  independent, multidisciplinary artist and member of Arts Equity Nashville Alayna Anderson, founder of Nashville Women in Jazz and member of Arts Equity Nashville

Earlier this year, Metro Arts Commission Executive Director Caroline Vincent resigned amid allegations of tokenism, retaliation and a toxic work environment for women of color. At that point, half of the city agency's employees had left over the previous 11 months. In August, Metro Arts announced Daniel Singh as its new executive director. In this episode, we take a look back at a turbulent year and ask how Metro Arts will work to repair its relationships with local artists and arts organizations. But first, the effects of Tennessee's new abortion law are already felt by pregnant people in need of urgent medical care. Steve Cavendish of the Nashville Banner joins us at the top of the show to talk about a recently published story on how a hospital's legal team weighed the risk to its doctors under the new law before they could treat a woman with an ectopic pregnancy.  Guests: Steve Cavendish, editor and president of the Nashville Banner Wilna Julmiste Taylor, assistant director of the Curb Center for Art, Enterprise & Public Policy Alan Fey, managing director for ALIAS Chamber Ensemble and executive director of Make Music Nashville Daniel Singh, executive director for the Metro Arts Commission Matia Powell, chair of the Metro Arts Commission

Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" goes "they paved paradise, and put up a parking lot." Well ... what if they tore down a cool place to ... improve public transit? (Insert sound effects of a Progressive's head exploding here.) Anyway, that's what happened. The Atomic Cafe, at 422 East First Street in Little Tokyo, was a famous punk gathering spot. It closed in 1989 and the building was demolished in 2015 to make way for the subway's Regional Connector. But luckily for Off-Ramp listeners, dublab's Mark "Frosty" McNeill created an audio love letter to The Atomic Cafe that debuted on Off-Ramp in 2016. And when I wrote to let Mark know, he wrote back: The timing of the podcast episode is perfect. We're actually having a free, all ages event on Saturday, May 7th 4-8pm at Union Station to celebrate the Deep Routes radio series I've been producing with Metro Arts. You don't need to RSVP, just put it on your calendar now, and show up on the 7th in your hightops, ripped skinny jeans, and Union Jack t-shirt. Support for this podcast is made possible by Gordon and Dona Crawford, who believe that quality journalism makes Los Angeles a better place to live.This program is made possible in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private corporation funded by the American people.

Venue: WBLC AuditoriumTicket Price: Adult $35, Concession $21Days: Saturday 20th NovemberTime: 4:00pmDuration: 45 mins What's the difference between a Maddie and a Karen? 20 years and a mortgage.After running into Karen at a boutique patisserie, two Maddies realise they are six degrees of separation away from becoming the women they love to hate... Will self-awareness be enough to stop them from growing into the next stereotype? Or will their loud mouths and annoying quirks turn them into the punching bag of their generation? This status-quo challenging production is not an attack on Karens, but on Keyboard Warriors. Maddie is the New Karen is raw, comedic and utterly contemporary - asking the important questions like: Do you mind if I could maybe please speak to the Manager?Premiering at Wynnum Fringe Festival, this bold new multi-media production by Madeleine Border and Madeline Römcke tackles a world with large generational borders and will provoke some punchy conversations.

Recently commissioned by Belloo Creative under their Mentorship program, she wrote her new play Biting Tongues (2020). DUMB. FAT.

In an era defined by human impact on the environment and overlapping crises, is art’s poetic and critical capacity to influence change—what Elaine Scarry describes as their status as “fragments of world alteration”—being challenged or affirmed? How do artists see their work in this new era? Join artists Kinly Grey, Warraba Weatherall, Tintin Wulia, and host and exhibition curator Tim Riley Walsh, in the second of three panel discussions engaging with key themes of the exhibition On Fire: Climate and Crisis. Participant bios: Kinly Grey is a Meanjin (Brisbane)-based artist who works with light, smoke, metaphysics, and feeling. Their site-specific installations reimagine ways to understand the world through sensory experience and poetics. Working in galleries and public spaces, Grey has held solo exhibitions at Metro Arts, Outer Space, and Boxcopy, in Brisbane, and The Walls, Gold Coast. Warraba Weatherall is a Brisbane-based installation and street artist from the Kamilaroi Nation of south-west Queensland. Weatherall has a specific interest in archival repositories and structures, and the life of cultural objects and histories within these environments. His practice critiques the legacies of colonisation, where social, economic, and political realities perpetually validate Eurocentric ideologies. Tintin Wulia is a Denpasar-born, Brisbane-based artist. Wulia works with video, installation, drawings, painting, sound, dance, text, performance and public interventions. Her interdisciplinary works – particularly on aspects of borders – are often participatory. Wulia has shown both nationally and internationally, including the Istanbul Biennale (2005), Moscow Biennale (2011), Sharjah Biennale (2013), and recently represented Indonesia at the 57th Venice Biennale (2017). Tim Riley Walsh is the curator and editor of 'On Fire: Climate and Crisis'. Riley Walsh is an art historian, Australia Desk Editor for ArtAsiaPacific, Hong Kong, and a Post-Thesis Fellow within the School of Communication and Arts, University of Queensland, Brisbane.

Our review of APOCALIPSTICK

Karl Dean, former Nashville Mayor talks with community leaders about the things that make Nashville a global city. Global Nashville with Karl Dean Join Mayor Dean for a conversation with Mohamed-Shukri Hassan, Director of the Office of New Americans as they talk about community issues in the headlines. Hassan, who was born in Somalia, worked with or advised the Metro Public Health Department, New American Development Center, Nashville Entrepreneur Center, Metro Arts and the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition and the New Americans Advisory Council. The Mayor's Office of New Americans works to engage immigrants and empower them to participate in our government and our community. The number of foreign-born residents in Nashville has more than doubled over the past decade. Nearly 12 percent of our population was born outside of the United States, and nearly half of those people are recent immigrants who entered the country since 2000. In fact, in 2012, Nashville had the fastest-growing immigrant population of any American city. Nashville is the proud home of the nation's largest Kurdish population, as well as growing enclaves of immigrants from Somalia, Burma, and all over the world. "Shukri-Hassan’s journey to Middle Tennessee is a unique one. Shortly after being born in Somalia in 1986, his family fled their home country due to the growing Civil War. The family bounced from place to place in East Africa, eventually settling in Nairobi, Kenya. Though they found temporary solace, they had dreams to live in the United States of America. Shukri-Hassan’s mother was the first to make the leap overseas through the immigration lottery. After a few years of saving, the rest of the Shukri-Hassan family joined her in Decatur, Georgia."

For four decades, Metro Arts in Brisbane has been a leading light in that city's independent art scene. This year, the organisation has made a major move: leaving the building they've called home for all those years. Jo Thomas, the CEO and Creative Director, looks back on that history and explains how the organisation has managed to survive and thrive.

In the Music Real E86, and my guest is Jo Thomas Creative Director and CEO for Metro Arts in Brisbane. JFK said “The life of the arts, far from being an interruption, a distraction, in the life of the nation, is close to the centre of a nation's purpose – and is a test to the quality of a nation's civilization.” Metro Arts plays an important role in the culture of our city as it champions contemporary art forms. It offers development programs as well as co presenting opportunities. In addition to the artistic programs Metro Arts also supports the wider artistic community by offering incredibly cool artistic spaces around the city for the use of creative businesses. Jo also Won the Telstra Business Awards Queensland Businesswomen of the Year for 2020. We hear about Metro Arts in lockdown, opportunities that have emerged as a result and plans to accommodate this new Arts ecosystem in the post COVID world. A big shot out to anyone wishing to join the Art Starters Donor Group who generously support the Metro Arts Creative Development Program. https://themusicreal.com.au/2020/07/18/jo-thomas-metro-arts-telstra-business-awards-queensland-businesswomen-of-the-year-for-2020

“A lot of us have spent years and years and years creating works, seeing work, hanging out with friends, falling in love there, having our heart broken there… so that space holds a lot of memory, a lot of ghosts.” It was a huge 2019 for Metro Arts: selling the Heritage-listed building it's called home for decades, establishing a multi-million dollar arts fund, negotiating new digs and through it all, programming and commissioning a packed slate of contemporary work.Leading the multi-arts organisation through these unchartered waters was Jo Thomas; meeting emotional opposition to the sale with calm and reason, throwing herself into the unfamiliar world of investment and finance and still programming award-winning theatre.“I've had the craziest year understanding investment of money, meeting every property developer in Brisbane, going and meeting philanthropists and people who run foundations and advocating constantly.”In this podcast, Jo reflects on Metro Arts' impending 40th birthday; the creative solutions arts organisations must find to thrive in the face of dwindling government funding; and how artists must be afforded space and opportunity to push the envelope, to experiment and to deliver important work without the imposition of commercial conditions.With a background in cabaret and circus, Jo reveals the surprising similarities between her performance past and her future as custodian of Metro Art's once-in-a-generation evolution.“You've got to keep your focus on everything and make sure not one little plate can drop, not one little area loses your focus.”For more honest opinions, follow us on Instagram @imho_aus, like us on Facebook @IMHOAUS, and sign up to become a Citizen Reviewer at inmyhonestopinion.com.au.GUEST: Jo Thomas, Creative Director and CEO of Metro ArtsHOST: Belinda Seeney For information regarding your data privacy, visit Acast.com/privacy

Our review of the JPR production at Metro Arts

A roller-coaster ride on steroid-rails that explores the meaning of life, serial killers, and "an overhaul rethinking for the strategic management of the clown college" - because contemporary clown college is not your mother's clown college anymore! Today's short story was written by Raymond King Shurtz who is a Director, Designer, Playwright, Teacher, Actor, and Musician. He was the Founder and Artistic Director of Playwright's Workshop Theatre in 1988 and he produced over 80 plays during his 12-year tenure.From 1998 to 2008, Raymond was the director of theatre at Metro Arts Institute, in Phoenix, Arizona, while simultaneously producing new plays with Theatre 4S. After leaving Metro Arts in 2008, Raymond wrote, acted, and produced his one-man show, Bohemian Cowboy which was selected as the 'pick of the week' in the LA Weekly in Los Angeles. He also performed the show in San Francisco, Southern Utah, and Austin Texas, and is currently on hiatus before he tours the show again. As a playwright, Raymond has written thirty plays, all of them produced in various parts of the country. Three of his plays are published, one with Samuel French, and two plays with Dramatic Publishing/Anchorage Press. Raymond is the recipient of the 2002 fellowship for playwriting from The Arizona Commission on the Arts and, during the last 2 years, he is becoming known for producing plays in obscure places in his home turf of Boulder, Utah. His play, Under the Desert is produced on a high mesa to capacity audiences, who had to hike or four-wheel to the desert site to see the play. Raymond is also a singer/songwriter, and puts together bands to play old honky-tonk music and his music can be found on SoundCloud.Currently, Raymond has embarked on a tour with his new one person show, Lounge, which is his personal riff on playing lounges for two years.
