Danny Powell, through his documentary series, Keeping the Lights On, is working to create a community for artists, aspiring artists, and pretty much anyone who digs art by showcasing the day-to-day grinds of artists whose 9 to 5 is anything but art. Powell believes that individuals need to take personal responsibility in buttressing the arts. “Look at how the government treats arts organizations and public broadcasting entities that rely in large part on governmental funding to sustain themselves,” Powell points out. And it’s true; we here at Uncle are still waiting for our first governmental space buck. So check out the series—it’s got more culture than Van Gogh’s good ear—and always support your local artists.
