Feeling STIMULATED yet? Anybody inject you with sunshine? Oddly enough that sounds like a good thing. In the DRMTM office, we think we finally, officially, lost track of real time. Why? We are stuck in the deep dark dimension where our elected officials don’t give a fat rat’s tushy about arts + culture orgs being starved out of the SBA’s payroll protection program. The “S” stands for “small,” right? *sigh* No words. Moving on.

LOOK WHO’S BOLD AF
As throughout history, there are artists among us who don’t get enough recognition, but now’s the time! MEME artists keep us laughing until we cry and texting until our phones die. They are Bad*ss and Bold Creatives who are getting us all through a DRT — damn rough time. Viva la MemeArt!! (Is there a future FA degree here?)

COVID-19 COERCED QUESTION-OF-THE-WEEK
So we’ve got TWO for you this week. A serious one and a not-so-serious one (depending on how serious you take your food).

1. We’re MAD AF that we have not seen even one story about the pandemic’s impact on the arts-sector on our local, national or cable television news. Booooooo. Have you?

2. What’s next for delivery: Pizza or Burritos? For laughs, we suggest you watch “What We Do in the Shadows” on Hulu/FX with your take-out tonight. Click here to answer.

ALL THE FEELZ
AWWWW!! How precious is THIS?! The Covid-era kids of Georgetown (Washington, DC) neighborhoods are going on an adventure, searching for stuffed animals in a window scavenger hunt. Check out the Street Safari story here. But here in Florida, it’s gator mating season, and we’re told to steer clear and get off the roads. That’s right – don’t bother a gator on the highway in mating season. Very territorial. It’s okay, dude. That stretch of asphalt is all yours.

BONUS: This might border on the bizarre, but we gotta give props to this art project titled: Fine Art Museum for Guinea Pig. Is it just us, or is that guinea pig really contemplating color and composition?

Show us how you’re staying positive and creative. Post your Insta photos with the hashtag #drmtmsilverlining and we’ll share the love.

Keep it DRMY ’til next week,

Surale + Laura + Cheryl
Research + Messaging + Design

If you don’t want different, you don’t want DRMTM.
