I went to Southern University and 98 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 4: Man and majored in art. 99 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: So you said Southern University, you say, HBCU. Okay, all right, 100 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: there almost with that now, blue and gold. Them jaguars 101 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: came across that bridge, that dome. I know what you're talking. 102 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 4: About, yard hump, That the hump. 103 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: Your sir, Yes, sir. Continue. 104 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 4: So I was there, majored in art and they had 105 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 4: a phenomenal art program. Had I been a little more 106 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 4: westernized in my art upbringing than I probably wouldn't have 107 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 4: went to Southern So. I would have went to probably 108 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 4: col Arts or one of the California many California art schools. 109 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 4: But Southern University had a great program. I learned not 110 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 4: just the technical aspect of art, but also curatorio. So 111 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 4: I became a curator afterwards, an artist. Pursued my career 112 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 4: as an artist, visual artist and a curator, and that's 113 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 4: what brought me to where I'm at, where I'm at 114 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 4: now at Arts Clay. 115 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: Before you, before I go to you, miss Dardell, he 116 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: said a word curator. I don't really know what that means. 117 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to make sure you give a clear 118 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: understanding to my audience when you say you became a curator. 119 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: What does that mean there? 120 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 4: Well, curator is one that organizes exhibitions, exhibitions and project 121 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 4: exhibition projects. You know from the actually finding or or 122 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 4: being able to communicate with other artists to bring them 123 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 4: into to bring them into an exhibition format, choosing the artists, 124 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 4: choosing the pieces, and also coordinating the work and then 125 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 4: installing the work to make it a complete exhibition. 126 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: That's important, Miss Daldell. Welcome to Money Making Conversation Masterclass. 127 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: One of the titles that you hold is owner of 128 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: B Marie. What exactly is B Marie? Because I know 129 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: it's happening this weekend. Is an event or an inventor 130 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: just a couple of times we're going to discuss that, 131 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: But what exactly is B Marie Events? 132 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 5: So be Mary actually is the name of it. So 133 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 5: my tag lighte is eat, drink and be merry. 134 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 4: It is oh great, and. 135 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,239 Speaker 1: I apologize for the missing nunciation eat drink and be merry. 136 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 6: Okay, great, Yes, so it. 137 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 5: Is actually an event. Then you a multipurpose event than 138 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 5: you were you in a week we hold a lot 139 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 5: of seminars, workshops, and various different types of events and 140 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 5: on the weekends we primarily host you know, any type 141 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 5: of events that you can imagine. And the reason why 142 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 5: I incorporated it as an art studio as well is 143 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 5: because I too, grew up in the arts from a 144 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 5: small child on the way up, and when I became 145 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 5: an entrepreneur, I said, whatever business I have, I'm going 146 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 5: to incorporate the art within it. And so it also 147 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 5: it partners as an art venue, so we do art 148 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 5: exhibitions and Brian is my curator. So that's how we 149 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 5: connect it. Actually, yeah, so he selects the artists and 150 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 5: he curates everything over in my space, so within our community, 151 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 5: people are able to actually have two galleries. They can 152 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 5: walk across the street and see mine as well as 153 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 5: you know what's on exhibit over an art Playton. 154 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: Well, you know, this is an education for me, you know, 155 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: to get a clear understanding. And it may may not 156 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: be the forum to ask these type of questions about 157 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: what is art? What is the perception of quality art? 158 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: Which it really is the art really the I of 159 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: the beholder? What exactly your curator, Brian? When I talk 160 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: like this, there's so many things that's a subjective form 161 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: of what art is. How can we are there like 162 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: levels or this is a this is a category of art. 163 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: This is a category of art. Help me explain that 164 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: to myself as well as my audists. That's what as 165 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: my audience. 166 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 4: Well, when you when you come at it from let's 167 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 4: say a mainstream approach. Listen, you know you're looking at 168 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 4: museums and galleries and so you'll start to break down 169 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 4: contemporary art, modern art and all these other categories. And 170 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 4: so for me it makes sense. But then at you know, 171 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 4: looking at it from a more outside of the Western framework, 172 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 4: you know, because in that framework, we don't really have 173 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 4: a place as far as the artists, either indigenous or 174 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 4: black artists out here, not necessarily because of the art. 175 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 4: A lot of the art that we put together, most 176 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 4: of the art we put together is dealing with our situation, 177 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 4: you know, coming out of a situation. And when you 178 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 4: look at like your so called modern art and and uh, 179 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 4: you know anything European. 180 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 7: Social social art social, Well it's not social, but let's 181 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 7: say we respond off of our social off of art, uh, 182 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 7: social and economic situation right right, So you'll see artwork 183 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 7: that reflects. 184 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 4: You know, themes that deal with with us. And so 185 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 4: those themes were never put into the art books when 186 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 4: you study art, and you know, typically the only black 187 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 4: art you're looking at was like uh, Chemmic Egypt Kimmic, 188 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 4: and you're in there for a hot minute, and then 189 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 4: you you on Greece, you on Rome, you on you know, 190 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 4: you get into the you know, from from like Leonardo 191 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 4: da Vinci, Picasso, you studying all these guys, your expressionists, 192 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 4: your abstract expressionists. There's no room for the black artists 193 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 4: in that. So as you come forward in America, then 194 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 4: you start getting into black artists. Talking about the Black 195 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 4: arts movement in the sixties and the seventies, that work 196 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 4: was very all of it. When you look at any 197 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 4: black artists, especially noteworthy black artists, they were always dealing 198 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 4: with our social and economics situation at that time. So 199 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 4: that just falls into the category of like black artists. 200 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 4: Let to say, it doesn't really have its own So 201 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 4: now you have people it's very popular, they'll say black 202 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 4: art and necessarily in itself really don't make sense either 203 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 4: because it's just saying black art. But then, you know, 204 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 4: so we still have a lot of growing to do 205 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 4: in our classification of what black artists and indigenous artists 206 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 4: are creating, right. 207 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: Because that's important as because you go to my house, 208 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: you know, I got all from Belie, you know, like 209 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: a talk or hand sketched art. I got art from 210 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: South Africa. That's my most dominant art work at my 211 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: house is these large like you said, social you know, 212 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: you see people in the community, you see them the 213 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: lifestyle that they live. That type of art is presented. 214 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: So I could relate what you were saying from an 215 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: artist standpoint. And so when I go out and I 216 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: look at art and you and you from a perspective, 217 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: I'm slide over to miss Daldell and talking about b 218 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: Breid because you're talking about galleries and he's your curator. 219 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: Talk about what was your goal in establishing the gallery 220 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: and what type of art form we're looking for. Because 221 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: I'm trying to be really creative because we're talking about 222 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: a visual conversation here, and a visual conversation, we have 223 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 1: to imagine what we're talking about. So walk us through 224 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: that lane exactly what you are trying to do and 225 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: what we would expect when we come to you know Haven. 226 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: A addition, this weekend, okay. 227 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 5: And putting together be Merry events in art studio, I 228 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 5: had two things in mind. It was exposure and opportunity. 229 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 5: It was exposure for the people that came into my 230 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 5: business to hope their events so that they can be 231 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 5: able to view art from different perspectives, different cultures, and 232 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 5: it was the opportunity for the artists because you know, 233 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 5: they the artists are sometimes always looking for places where 234 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 5: people can view their art and not often do we 235 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 5: take the time to go to an art gallery, you know, 236 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 5: And so it's bringing it to them in their event 237 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 5: so that they people are getting to see it from 238 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 5: abroad and more often because my doors are open and 239 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 5: they have a massive amount of people that come through. 240 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 5: So you're looking at about you know, at least twenty 241 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 5: five hundred people within a week that'll come through and 242 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 5: get an opportunity to view the different work from them. 243 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: Twenty five hundred people in your gallery a week, that's 244 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: all week. 245 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 5: Because you have to have Yeah, so when people have events, 246 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 5: they have it anywhere from fifty to one hundred people 247 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 5: over a weekend and throughout the week during the day 248 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 5: if they're doing a workshop or if we're hosting an 249 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 5: event for the local community. 250 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: Okay, so when you so so in other words, when 251 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: an artist displays it, presents or showcases their artwork at 252 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: your gallery or they have to they have to present 253 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: an event there.

Now, let's talk about the importance of education to 386 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: the community and to the youth, because, like I shared 387 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: the story, I remember in fifth sixth grade, I used 388 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: to hand draw art. I used to love wrestling back 389 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: then I almost got kicked out of school because I 390 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: spent more time drawing and because I could actually if 391 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: I saw your face, I could actually draw it and 392 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: the likeness of it. And then then in middle school 393 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: I was got into music. I was first chair of 394 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: B flat clarinet and then also tennis saxophone and play 395 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: the alto saxophone. And so I know that my degree 396 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: now in mathematics, I know that the arts, especially music, 397 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: played a major role in my memory, my discipline, and 398 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: my ability to be you communicate, am I am I 399 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: saying too much? Did the art have that impact on me? 400 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: I'm just assuming it did because it did change my 401 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: life being involved in the arts. I want you to explain, Brian, 402 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: the impact of the community, especially on the educational side. 403 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: When you start talking about film, music and arts. 404 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean the arts definitely has that kind 405 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 4: of power. It's proven that students who take on or 406 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 4: who study art in school, it enhances their academic abilities 407 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 4: and academic training. It takes them to another level. The 408 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 4: arts does stimulate economic development. I know it saves lives 409 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 4: because it definitely saved my life growing up in Los Angeles, California, 410 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 4: gang culture. You know, it was art that brought me 411 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 4: to pool, me out of the negative environment. And you know, 412 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 4: like because you're around this stuff daily and it's the 413 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 4: only thing you see outside, you know, other than playing sports, 414 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 4: you know, other than you know, it's it's really predominant 415 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 4: in your life. But it was hip hop culture, you know, 416 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 4: all the positive brand, Nubian public enemy, all that, and 417 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 4: then and then getting into drawing and painting, that was 418 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,719 Speaker 4: just a great distraction from that negative environment. So a 419 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 4: lot of brothers who grew up in and not in that, 420 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 4: you know, born in the seventies and eighties and grew 421 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 4: up through the nineties and two thousands, they'll mostly tell 422 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 4: you the same thing that the art. You know, most 423 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 4: of my artists comrades, they'll tell you that the art 424 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 4: really brought them through. So it's it's a power of 425 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 4: something powerful and it's something that all of our youth 426 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 4: should have access to. 427 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is important. I know that I should 428 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: as a stand up comedian, I should travel around this 429 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: country and I can't. Music kept me awakening. Music, music 430 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: in between drive kept me there and inspire. They have 431 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: my mind active and it's people are The power of 432 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: music is so important, especially I think in any community, 433 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: but especially I think in the Black community, because it's 434 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: such the rhythm, the different cultures. Like I said, you 435 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: know the Cuban music. I'm a big fan of the 436 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: Cuban music too, And so come on, now we can 437 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 1: sit down keeping music. You know that that was introduced 438 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: to me. And then of course you know it's gonna 439 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: be real. Paul Simon introduced me to the affing music. 440 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,239 Speaker 1: You know when when it's when this album came out 441 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: many years ago, you know. And so those those sounds, 442 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: know they are not R and B. No, they are 443 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: not you know, hip hop, but the rhythm and the 444 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: beats come out of that though, they evolve out of that. 445 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: They make you motivate, you to realize that you can 446 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: do something different in life. These compelling thoughts is the 447 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: driving force of Arch Clayton.
