 In 2020, when the pandemic hit, I was teaching part-time online so that way I would have enough money to buy the things that I needed for the clarinet as I was living in Paris at the time. After I found out that everything got canceled, I only had 500 Euros in my pocket before I had to act fast. I could have panicked and freaked out that despite having advanced degrees in music and the humanities, I was going to be b-r-o-k-e and h-o-m-e-l-e-s-s.

Kristine Dizon: Hello, my name is Kristine Dizon and I'm the CEO and founder of the Modern Artist Project. Today, I'm with Dr. Julia Heinen who is committed to ensuring participation in the arts is available to all and works diligently to advocate for schools. Her research and leadership projects focus on underrepresented constituencies, and she works to ensure that everyone who wishes to participate in the arts as a vocation or avocation has the opportunity to do so. Julia is currently a professor of clarinet and Director of Community Engagement at California State University, Northridge. Thank you, Julia, for joining us today.' Julia Heinen: Thank you, Kristine, for the invitation. I really appreciate it.  The hardest part about producing creative outputs is…money and time. It takes a lot of time to be able to find grants and resources for funding projects. A lot of the time you encounter issues with eligibility, qualifications, and making sure that all the elements of your application are solid.
