Lin-Manuel Miranda sees art and philanthropy with same lens

For “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, the inspirations for art and philanthropy are inextricably linked. Miranda this week announced a series of donations to organizations that serve immigrants, whose experiences are central to the new film version of his hit Broadway musical “In the Heights.” “For me,” Miranda said, “philanthropy and artistic inspiration kind of come from the same place.” He is forever drawn to what he calls “the things that don’t leave you alone.” Immigration, he said, is both a passion and a foundational element of his work. “In the Heights,” he noted, centers on immigrants from the Caribbean and Latin America living in New York City. And “Hamilton,” he said, “is sort of the proto-immigrant story.”
