ARTemis Award for Music 2018 Awarded to Rene’ Ormae-Jarmer the Drum Line Director of the Kingsmen Thunder Drumline of Milwaukee, OR.
With little resources, she not only runs the organization, she fundraises, teaches all the students, locates and secures all equipment, including a hauling trailer that features the ARTemis logo, not to mention she is a co-creator of the music and moves of the actual field show the students perform.
An enormous challenge exists to elevate the voice of women artists of all mediums. We see vast growth potential in educating women artists and both male and female allies about gender disparity, women’s issues and interests, and the encouragement of more entertainment dollars towards women-focused and driven works. ARTemis sees and supports the work of other organizations conducting vital research on gender disparities in the arts, and those that support women artists in specific fields. The gap that ARTemis fills is in creating a broad-based, transdisciplinary community of women artists and allies to transfer knowledge, boost exposure, and create equal opportunity through support of all kinds.
