NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman Announces Inaugural Our Town Grants
National Endowment for the Arts
Washington, DC – “Today, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) announced the inaugural round of "Our Town" funding, totaling $6.575 million in grants to 51 communities in 34 states that have created public-private partnerships to strengthen the arts while shaping the social, physical, and economic characters of their neighborhoods, towns, cities, and regions.

Arts Spending Cut as 2012 Federal Budget Work Begins
Blog: Government and Politics Watch, The Chronicle of Philanthropy
“The House Appropriations Committee, which pushed for deep cuts in federal spending in 2011, is starting to signal which programs it is seeking to cut back on in 2012. Among the first casualties in the nonprofit world: spending on the arts. The key Republican-led committee, which is now drafting a number of budget bills, on Tuesday adopted legislation that would reduce spending on the National Endowment for the Arts from just under $155-million in 2011 to $135-million next fiscal year.”
What We Have Here is a Failure to Communicate
Janet’s Blog, Grantmakers in the Arts
“Watching the local news recently, there was an article about public art funding being in jeopardy in the state of Washington. The reporter ended the story by implying the big losers here would be the artists who have received funds from the program. This was a reminder to me of how we are losing the public relations war about the importance of the arts in our lives and communities. Actually, it is not the artists who are the big losers (although they are one loser). It is all the people who live and visit the state of Washington.”

“Union South is truly a special place. Along with the innovative design of the building itself, a myriad of local artistry, generous donations, and student dedication helped bring artistic touches to every corner of the building. The Union’s many works of art and the stories behind them could fill a book, but below we highlight just a few of the most prominent installations and the people that made them happen.”

Grass Roots: Neighbors, artists want resolution on Garver Mill site
The Capital Times
“Got a clever idea on how to get a white elephant to sing for its supper? Mark McFadden would love to hear it. McFadden lives in the east-side Madison neighborhood where the former Garver Feed Mill building is crumbling, and he also served on a task force that envisioned an arts incubator in the century-old building tucked behind east side Olbrich Gardens. Lovingly restored and dramatically renovated, the old industrial space would be reborn as a place for artists to create and the public to experience and purchase art.”
Kickstart my art: The A.V. Club’s guide to local Kickstarter campaigns
AV Club, Madison
“No one used to be able to get loans for art projects and Robocop statues. Now everyone who can pitch to a webcam can use Kickstarter, the crowd-powered venture capital site, to solicit the masses for the funding they need to back their latest project, whether it’s a musician trying to get a start without a label or a recently evicted improv theater company trying to buy a new rehearsal space. Still, Madison has a lot of would-be entrepreneurs competing for seed money, so The A.V. Club decided to look over some pitches to find out which projects might reach their goals.”

Emmy nomination sweet second time around for 'Pioneers' producers
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“Old television shows never die. But their stars do. Deaths this year and last included such Golden Age icons as Peter Graves ("Mission: Impossible"), his brother James Arness ("Gunsmoke"), Robert Culp ("I-Spy"), Fess Parker ("Davy Crockett") and Steven J. Cannell ("The A-Team," "The Rockford Files," "Cannon"). But before they died, each of them did the same thing: gave one of their last public interviews to Steve Boettcher and Michael Trinklein, the Milwaukee-area producers of the PBS series "Pioneers of Television."”

Mirror Image Dance Studios leaves families with no dance activities and no refund
Fox 6, Milwaukee
“You may have driven by it for years in West Bend and Mequon, but now the doors are shut. Parents aren't happy, because Mirror Image Dance Studios has their money. They've called Contact 6 to find out the next move. Parents and kids are upset with the business closure, especially the parents who prepaid. Mirror Image Dance Studios in West Bend and Mequon suddenly closed with just a note on the door and a letter sent home with no official letterhead.”
National Survey of Dance Audiences

“Dance/USA commissioned WolfBrown to conduct a national survey of dance audiences; the first field-wide survey intended to answer the question, “How do dance audiences want to engage?” The survey was conducted in the summer of 2010 with the help of 42 partners who sent a standardized survey to their dance ticket-buyers.

Audio for the Arts' avant-garde concert series puts Madison on the map
Isthmus
“It's funny how much can happen in a year. Last summer, Steve Gotcher, co-owner of local recording studio Audio for the Arts, forged a connection with sax man and composer Patrick Breiner, who'd stopped by to book a session. The two got to talking, and pretty soon they'd mapped out a blueprint for an avant-garde performance series.”

Live Nation faces class action lawsuit over service fees
Ticket News
“Live entertainment giant Live Nation, which has had to fend off similar legal challenges in the past, is facing a class action lawsuit in Baltimore over the service fees the company charges on tickets. Filed in the Northern Division of U.S. District Court in Maryland late last week, the lawsuit takes the unique approach of essentially accusing Live Nation's Ticketmaster division of being a scalper by charging above face value for tickets, which is against the law in the City of Baltimore.”

Art Works Podcast: John Maeda
National Endowment for the Arts
“This week’s podcast is an interview with the president of the Rhode Island School of Design, John Maeda. Maeda has spent his career at the crossroads of art and technology, where he has consistently pushed the boundaries of each field to explore how these disciplines shape one another. In the late 1980s, after earning degrees in software engineering and physics at MIT, Maeda, on the advice of a professor who had noticed his talent, went off to study art in Japan. At first, he was happy to leave computers behind, but slowly he discovered that art and science were more connected than he had previously imagined.”
A Board Member's Guide to Nonprofit Insurance
Board Café, Blue Avocado
“Many board members don't think about the organization's insurance until something adverse happens. As one Blue Avocado reader commented: "Insurance isn't sexy, but it's as essential as a roof over your head." In these tight times, it's tempting to make insurance a low priority, but this strategy can be penny wise and pound foolish. Blue Avocado asked Pamela Davis, president and CEO of the Nonprofits Insurance Alliance Group (and a Blue Avocado Steering Committee member) to give us the low-down on liability.”

Presented by The Heartbeat Center for Writing, Literacy, and the Arts, Inc., this six-week exhibit explores the connections between Americans and the food that we produce, prepare, preserve, and put on our tables. It’s an interesting way to look at the historical, regional, and social traditions that have merged into our everyday meals and how our country’s rich immigrant experience has influenced what and how we eat. By looking at artifacts, photographs, and illustrations, Key Ingredients examines not only the home, but restaurants, diners, and celebrations that help create a sense of community through food.”

But for too many generations, Hollywood has told only half the story: too often, what is missing are the stories of women as change agents and heroes in their own right. For the second year, Barnard College, the most sought-after women’s college in the nation, will celebrate women’s leadership on screen at the Athena Film Festival which will take place from February 9-12, 2012.
