Your Art Is Political. So Is Your Vote.
A Note Ahead of the New York City 2025 Mayor Primary Election
We talk a lot about vision here at Orm Muse Collective. About purpose, legacy, impact. But let’s not forget: the blueprint of our future is being voted on—right now.
Local elections matter.
Your mayor decides how arts are funded, which communities are protected, what education looks like, how accessible transportation is, how protest is policed, and whether creatives can even afford to exist here.
You don’t have to be a politician to influence policy.
You just have to vote.
And keep voting.
The same courage it takes to start a project, write a story, stage a protest, or share your truth—that same courage belongs in the ballot box too.
Art is resistance.
Art is accountability.
Art is a form of governance.
So let’s show up like it.
🖤 Check your registration, research your candidates, and cast your vote. The future isn’t waiting.
