#Repost @mattbomer with @get_repost ・・・ Is that me in the front in a fat suit, fake mustache, and shoe polish in my hair playing Mr. van Daan in our high school production of The Diary of Anne Frank? Why yes it is. It’s called commitment, people! Also pictured is me as the Saggy Baggy Elephant in 6th grade. Though it is truly humbling to share these images, I wouldn’t be who I am today without the Arts. Senator Dianne Feinstein & @kamaladdharris : Be An #ArtsHero & pass the #DAWNAct. Arts & Culture contributes $877B to the US economy & we’re too big to fail. #SaveTheArts so our nation’s youth can have a future in the Arts! #dawnact https://www.instagram.com/p/CGYGDNgBJmk/?igshid=etbdq0s0vx6w

I AM AN ARTS WORKER. #dancer #choreographer #chidance Arts & Culture adds $877B in value to the economy, employs 5.1M people, and is 4.5% of the GDP. @senduckworth @SenatorDurbin, Be An #ArtsHero and support the DAWN Act, allocating $43.85B in relief to the Arts. We account for $30.3 billion of the Illinois economy and contribute over 224,000 jobs. In Chicago alone, that’s $2.25 billion in economic activity annually. If we go missing, the economic implosion in our neighborhoods, in our cities, and in our state will take decades to rebuild. There can be no full American economic recovery without a robust Arts & Culture recovery.
