NEA:
Everyone is familiar with the concept of failure. However bitter it may
feel, failure can be a necessary step towards success. In the arts,
without taking chances, artists risk not tapping into creativity that
can potentially lead to great outcomes. NEA has spoken with many
individual artists and art leaders in the past, from various art fields,
on their relationship with failure as well as success (see our 2014 NEA
Arts issue). Today, we’ve pieced together a few of their personal
insights to remind you that maybe, failure isn’t so bitter after all.
Rolling Stone:
This is a story about the most unlikely beef in rap history. When the
Tony Award nominations are announced on May 3rd, honoring the best of
the Broadway season, Hamilton is expected to dominate in every category.
You know Hamilton, right? The groundbreaking hip-hop musical about our
founding fathers? President Obama and Queen Beyoncé are both fans. And
tickets are basically sold out until 2017. If the tea leaves prove
correct, the Tony Awards could wind up feeling like one big infomercial
for Hamilton. Which is pretty awesome! Except for the one person from
Hamilton's creative team getting screwed out of a nomination, if not a
win. Say hello to the show's sound designer, 49-year-old Nevin
Steinberg.
