At the Intersection of Art, Culture, and Faith

Season One continues with a powerful conversation between host Olga Levina and arts leader, actor, and strategist Deonté Griffin-Quick—a bridge-builder dedicated to equity, community, and systems change. From his early arts education in New Jersey public schools to his work building statewide networks and serving on major grant panels, Deonté reflects on why the arts are essential to a healthy democracy—especially when communities feel fractured and exhausted. Together, Olga and Deonté explore power-sharing in cultural institutions, the realities of the nonprofit funding model, and how relationship-building and infrastructure can move communities from competition to collective impact. The episode closes with a hopeful (and urgent) look at Deonté’s faith-rooted approach to cultural strategy and what it will take to help artists and communities truly thrive.
