CAC ARTS NEWS No. 173

02/08/05

Editors Note:

I have a wide LCD screen on my iMac and in one corner as I type thisI have a live broadcast running in video and audio of a day long FCC meeting with people with Low Power FM (LPFM) stations like mine. I was asked to go to Washington D.C. to talk about "Christian Radio", but could not find the money to go. However, I have a fellow broadcaster from back east who hopefully put in a word about what we do.

First of all, you must know that five years ago, I wanted to have a local station to put on the arts and culture of our community of Estes Park. And that is what we do today as a United Methodist church. almost 50% of LPFM stations are faith based which I think speaks well for USA culture if not religion. On one end of the Christian spectrum are those stations that broadcast only Christian contemporary music and bible study and sermons and some are even satellite fed. We chose to be community oriented, ecumenical and very arts diverse. Our budget is covered by the community and not the church although we have the luxury of studio space and utilities paid by the church. (This fact was once thrown at me by a member of the church and I responded "that yes, but don't you make the same offer to all the Sunday School classes?). Interviews with musicians and visual artists and local concerts are on our station. The local AM station does a great job of community service, but we are just another voice with some different programming that would not be that commercially viable on the AM station. As a non -profit all volunteer radio station we celebrate the arts. We are supported by the arts. we received a grant from the Gay and Lesbian Fund for the Arts to start our station. Is that at odds with our church? No, not at all when we are all God's children. I write all this because I want you to know that arts are alive and well not only in Estes Park and in every community in Colorado and the US. Celebrate especially if you receive support from your local media of newspapers, radio and even TV.

How to Be Objective About Your Own Artwork

By Alexandria Levin, www.paintedjay.com

How can you be objective about such subjective stuff as your own artwork? It's not too hard, but it takes some self-discipline. The first step to being objective about something as subjective as your own creative output is to feel good about being an artist. The first step in comparing yourself to other artists is to not feel threatened by comparisons. The first thing to realize is that you are where you

are at in your abilities and your career at this moment and you should applaud yourself for at least that much. So many people don't listen to their desires, follow their dreams, or have a direct line to their muses and you do. You have the courage and fortitude to be an artist. Countless others have given up along the way

Friday, February 4, 2005 - Denver, CO - The Da Vinci Quartet continues its 2004-2005 concert series at Colorado College and the University of Denver with performances in early March, featuring works by Alban Berg, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Franz Schubert.

"Schubert's 'Rosamunde' quartet is poignant in many ways," said Susan Jensen, second violinist. "And its strongly modal structure offsets Berg's non-modal work.

"The program offers a great opportunity to compare and contrast traditional and non-traditional harmony."

Rounding out the program is Mozart's String Quartet in C Major, the last of his "Haydn" quartets.

"This masterpiece starts out incredibly slowly and very meditatively," continued Jensen. "In the first movement, the violins and viola parts layer on top of the pulsing cello part. The result is a feeling of tension created by underlying dissonance."

The Mozart quartet resolves happily, however, in its bright and joyful final movement.

Dear Arts Advocate,

President Bush today sent his FY 2006 budget request to Congress, beginning the yearly appropriations process for the nation's cultural agencies and programs including the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), Office of Museum Services (OMS) and the Department of Education's Arts in Education programs.

For FY 2006, the President has requested $121.3 million for NEA and $138.1 million for NEH. In effect, the President has level-funded these programs; he has neither offered an increase, nor has he requested any cuts. Of particular concern this year is a proposed redistribution of $6.5 million that would result in a 30 percent cut in the longstanding and Congressionally-popular NEA Challenge America program. Challenge America is a highly effective program, which uses the arts to enhance Americaís communities through grants for arts education and improved access to the arts for all Americans, especially in underserved communities.

The President requested a funding boost of $4.19 million (a 12 percent increase) for the Office of Museum Services, bringing the total OMS budget to $38.9 million.

During a time when significant programs are suffering from major budget cuts, Americans for the Arts appreciates the Administrationís ongoing support and funding for the arts and culture in America.  However, we are somewhat disappointed in the Administrationís budget recommendations for the NEA and NEH, considering the president requested significant increases just last year. Moreover, for the fifth consecutive year, the President's budget has eliminated funding for the Department of Education's Arts in Education programs, which includes model arts collaborations with schools, teacher professional development, and arts programs for at-risk youth. It is important to remember that the President has never requested funding for these programs. This funding is traditionally restored by the Senate and accepted by the House in conference.

As you know, the President's budget is the first step in the appropriations process.  While it serves as an important framework, Congress has the power to set its own priorities and change these funding levels. That's where you come in.

Arts advocates can make their voices heard by writing their Members of Congress and urging them to increase funding for arts and culture and restore funding for arts in education programs. We encourage you to visit our E-Advocacy Center and write to your elected officials urging them to support funding increases for the arts. Simply enter your zipcode and read our easy-to-follow instructions. We have even provided several talking points to help you craft your letter, though we recommend you add your own thoughts and stories about why the arts are important to you and your community.

If you have any questions, please contact Justin Beland, Government Affairs and Grassroots Manager, at jbeland@artsusa.org. Thank you for your continued support of the arts!

News Release

DSA Theater Students Present a Unique Production of The Laramie Project

Denver School of the Arts Theater Department senior high students will perform The Laramie Project at 7:00 pm, February16,17,18, and 19 in the Kay Schomp Theater, the main stage venue at the Denver School of the Arts facility, 7111 Montview Blvd. in Denver.  Tickets are $10.00 for adults and $7.00 for students and seniors and can be purchased by calling DSA at 303-321-9435.  They will also be available the evenings of performance.   

In October 1998 a twenty-one-year-old student at the University of Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten, tied to a fence and left to die just outside Laramie, Wyoming. His battered body was not discovered until the next day, and he died several days later in an area hospital. His name was Matthew Shepard, and he was the victim of this assault because he was gay. Moises Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial of the two young men accused of killing Shepard. They conducted more than 200 interviews with the people of the town. Some people interviewed were directly connected to the case, and others were citizens of Laramie, and the breadth of their reactions to the crime is fascinating.

        WHAT MAKES OUR PRODUCTION UNIQUE:  The cast set out to examine the question "Has much changed in our society when it comes to discrimination and prejudice since 1998?"  They interviewed several members of the Denver community including family members, DSA students and teachers and students from Laramie High School.   From those interviews the cast created monologues using the exact words from the interviews.  We have combined these monologues into an original "pre-show" or prologue to the scripted play.  Hopefully causing the audience to begin to question their beliefs about their own community and to start dialogue about tolerance, diversity, and discrimination.
