Putting art and artists at the center 🖼️

Artists Count is a cross-border initiative that strengthens the region’s creative workforce through funding, research, and professional development.

Backed by a coalition of civic and philanthropic partners, Artists Count: San Diego + Tijuana directs $1.3 million in support to artists while building a deeper understanding of the conditions shaping creative work across the binational region.

The initiative reinforces the role artists play as essential contributors to cultural and economic life.

MiresBall developed the Artists Count brand identity and digital platform, creating a flexible system designed to expand alongside the program—from research focused on the creative economy to the selection of 40 artists who will receive funding to produce new work.

The @artistscount identity is a reminder that strong design systems don’t compete with their content—they create the conditions for it to be seen, understood, and valued.

And a shoutout to the Partners for Art, a committed group of civic, philanthropic, and advocacy organizations sharing a belief that artists are essential contributors to social cohesion, innovation, and economic growth.

What role do the arts play in a healthy democracy? Erin Harkey believes they are one of the clearest signs of whether a society is healthy, connected, and truly free. As arts funding faces cuts across our region and the country, this conversation is a timely reminder that when the arts flourish, communities flourish too.

In this episode of Stop & Talk, the President & CEO of Americans for the Arts reflects on why creative expression matters in every part of community life, from museums and theaters to classrooms, neighborhood traditions, and the spaces where people gather every day. The arts help communities tell their stories, encounter different perspectives, build connection, and imagine a better future.

Biomedical breakthroughs save lives, but better health requires more than cures alone.

We also need health solutions science: research that helps us understand how our health is shaped by policy, the way care is delivered, and by the conditions in which we live and work.

The Collective to Strengthen Pathways for Health Research, a growing group of funders working to elevate this field, has published a special issue in the New England Journal of Medicine Catalyst highlighting why health solutions science is essential to improving health at scale and why it deserves greater investment.

Right when you’re feeling exhausted… right when you’re questioning if you should keep going… your sis @geminelle calls and says, “Spirit said let’s work.” And somehow, that message lands right on time.

Then you get a call from @rameljwallace inviting you to be part of the Narrative Capital Pilot… and you say yes.

Grateful to @prebysfound  for investing in creatives, storytellers, and community-rooted narratives that deserve to be amplified.

Lately, I’ve been leaning deeper into intentional storytelling, collaboration, wellness, culture, and the kind of work that creates real connection. From wellness activations to community events, the Artist Collection, and everything in between… we’re building something meaningful.

Thank you to @sandiegomadefactory for continuing to provide space for creatives like myself to dream, create, and collaborate.

San Diego has stories worth investing in.
And we’re just getting started. #sandiego #morelifeliquid #storytellers
