QUOTE OF THE DAY
"To peer into the fetid life of a dysfunctional public figure, we buy books by the millions. We weep and throw flowers at the memory of a distant princess. We scream in delight and tear at the clothes of immature frauds. We tune in to hear experts with bloated egos talk about how right they are and how wrong everyone else is. We pay young men millions of dollars to hit or shoot or catch a ball, watch them buy fleets of luxury cars and listen to them whine about feeling underappreciated. And yet we all know people who are the real thing, out there in places like

NEA report shows declining attendance in arts events nationwide
(WAB Note: This is an update to NEA's report released in June, 2009)
Culture Monster/LA Times
"Have you been noticing a growing number of empty seats at classical concerts in recent years? Have you attended a recent gallery opening where there was actually enough champagne and hors d'oeuvres to go around -- and perhaps even some to take home? If so, your imagination isn't playing tricks on you. A new report released by the National Endowment for the Arts said that the number of American adults attending arts and cultural events has sunk to its lowest level since 1982, which was when the NEA began conducting the poll."
NEA Survey: Increasingly, Audiences Are Migrating Online
"While many adults still like the intimacy of live theater, particularly musical theater, over the past year an estimated 47 million of them chose to watch or listen to music, theater or dance performances online at least once a week." According to the NEA's 2008 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts, "the mode of delivery is rapidly changing."

Recap of 2009 - Special Section: The Year in the Arts
New York Times
"As 2009 comes to a close, the critics of The New York Times cast their eyes back on the year to note in this week's Arts & Leisure section what they considered the best — or most memorable — moments in movies, theater, music, dance, television, art, architecture and video games."
But First:

"If you haven't opened your New York Times yet today, go grab the Arts & Leisure section. The cover illustration is by Shorewood native, Maryam Choudhury. The design is for the paper's annual "Year in the Arts" section, a wrap-up and analysis of 2009 in theater, dance, music, art and architecture."

The Downside Of Top 10 Year End Lists
"The basic rationale makes perfect sense, of course: No one can read or see or listen to or think about everything, thus we critics rush into the room and wave our arms over our heads and shout, "Stand back, everyone, we've got this covered! Listen up!" Another part of me, though, fiercely and irrationally despises the "Best" lists that appear at year's end."

"When you picture Michelangelo, does the image in your mind resemble Moses? Ben-Hur? In other words, Charlton Heston? Heston's portrayal of Michelangelo in the classic film "The Agony and the Ecstasy" has largely shaped our collective impression of the artist. Based on an Irving Stone novel, the movie portrays Michelangelo as a loner, a prodigy, a pain. But a new biography by William Wallace, a

The future of the magazine
The Globe and Mail
"With ad sales falling, editors are going digital, employing online applications that can increase revenue. But it's a tough fight against a free Internet. Robert Downey Jr. is standing on the cover of a magazine, and he is talking to you. At least, he is if you've picked up the December issue of Esquire, thanks to a technology called "augmented reality." The reader holds the magazine in front of a webcam. An encoded black-and-white square communicates with software, and the actor leaps from the page with a robust holler. "Boo-yah! In your face!" Mr. Downey Jr. then gives a tour of the issue's digital extras. This, he says, is "easily the most remarkable way to experience a magazine."

"A scene from Christmas 2020: an averagely bookish family, in a north London suburb without a second-hand bookshop, where the Waterstone's sells only morocco-bound complete editions, and the newsagent sells only sweets. At home, a wife is reading from an oblong screen, grey-backed. Her husband doesn't know what she is reading without asking her. Still, he knows that at breakfast time on Christmas Day she will wake up to find that the text of the Man Booker prize winner this year, Dame Katie Price's Emerald, has been downloaded on to her reading device with a cute reindeer logo attached."

The Dickensian state of film - Despite a few bright spots, in the last 10 years cinema has shown a poverty of intelligence.
"Charles Dickens probably never realized what a gift he'd given dithering journalists when he opened "A Tale of Two Cities" exactly 150 years ago with the classic sentence, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." It's tempting to fall back on that venerable truism when examining the last decade of film, but the reality is that, frankly, it was close to the worst of times, with some good things thrown in to keep us from getting suicidal about the state of cinema."

LOS ANGELES (AP) – "Web sites that buy original video clips often pay so little that "The Bannen Way," a flashy crime thriller debuting online, looked destined to be made poorly if it could be made at all. Yet budding filmmakers Jesse Warren and Mark Gantt managed to hire 40-odd staff, including a boom operator, camerapeople - yes, more than one - and even production assistants on hand to offer sunscreen and sandwiches. And the production had actors familiar to some TV and movie audiences, including Michael Ironside, Robert Forster and Vanessa Marcil."

Review: MSO's itinerant Messiah |
TCD
"Lee Erickson's Milwaukee Symphony Chorus, pared to an agile and focused ensemble of about 50, brought electric energy and bracing precision to Handel's Messiah Wednesday evening. The clarity of their diction made libretti unnecessary (that was good; the slim, all-purpose holiday program had the words to "Rudolf, the Red-Nosed Reindeer," but just the first lines of Handel's numbers). Their superb balance made every line in the mix discernible, and neatly etched proportions and a sense of mass and momentum brought out the full vitality of Handel's lively rhythms."

And the Survey Says: Considering the NEA's 2008 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts
New Music Box
"If you've been following the cultural headlines this past week, you've no doubt seen some of the anxiety that has accompanied the release of the NEA's 2008 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts. In brief, the report says that attendance is down, audiences are aging, and the previously counted-upon new participants (the "if they are highly educated" or "once they hit 45 years of age they will suddenly begin attending" types) are not refreshing the core audience like they used to."

Also:
The arts see encouraging news in NEA survey
Attendance is down but it appears stable compared with movies and sports patronage.
"The dwindling of the American arts audience was the headline-making crux of a report that the National Endowment for the Arts issued last week. But because the focus was on what's happening in theaters, concert halls and museums, a silver lining -- of sorts -- was overlooked: As poorly as the arts are faring during this era of unprecedented, technology-driven possibilities for home entertainment, movies and sports are losing their box-office grip on grown-ups even more rapidly."
