RJ Hamster 6 months ago Advertisements Interview about music in prisons and hear the perspective of the juries View this email in your browser This month, we’re delighted to publish an interview with Jail Time Records, a recipient of our Impact Grant that works with incarcerated people to create music. We thoroughly enjoyed speaking with Dione Roach about her journey into this inspiring work. We’re also sharing insights from our juries about the 2024 cohort of grantees. With such an impressive lineup of artists and non-profits, it was fascinating to hear what stood out in the applications. Interview with Jail Time Records Around the world, many people face immense hardships and struggles. When the very basics of life—food, shelter, and safety—are out of reach, creativity can seem like a secondary concern. But an organization like Jail Time Records shows the opposite: creativity can be a powerful force for change, an essential part of uplifting people at the margins of society. We’re incredibly proud to have them among our Impact Grant recipients. That’s why we sat down with them for a special interview to learn about their latest work. Read interview How did the 2024 grantees get selected? Our jury members explain Every grantee of The Supporting Act is chosen through an independent process, and our dedicated jury members have the unenviable task of sifting through numerous outstanding applications. To make the process as open and transparent as possible, we asked each jury to explain what caught their attention. Their insights into each cohort are shared below.
