| | We were delighted to have received, in May, a $5,000 grant from the TRIP Foundation towards the cost of re-designing and re-building our Cultural Alliance website, which will integrate our two faces: the Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County and FCBuzz.org. At our recent ACE Awards Breakfast we were thrilled when our keynote speaker, and TRIP Foundation president, Robin Tauck, understanding the critical role of a strong digital presence for the Cultural Alliance, challenged the audience that if we continued our campaign to complete the website redesign project, she would match all donations up to a further $2,500! This match will enable us to complete the website on time and launch the new site in late July. Please help us meet our goal! To make a donation of $10 or more, please visit this Impact Vine donation site. Thank you for your support! UPDATE: With 33 days to go, we are 26% of the way ($658) to meeting our $2,500 goal. |

| | FAIRFIELD CENTER STAGE
Fairfield Center Stage (FCS) is a new community theater group, based in Fairfield, with a mission to lead a culturally diverse collective of local artists in providing a quality, accessible, and affordable theatre arts experience for the community, by the community. FCS is the brainchild of Eli and Christy Newsom and colleagues. Eli and Christy had co-created the Bridgeport Theatre Company in 2010 (with the active help and support of Michael Ross of Westport Country Playhouse and Curtain Call's Lou Ursone), producing its first season at Playhouse on the Green on State Street, Bridgeport, which almost immediately closed down. Hugh Hallinan invited the company to join Downtown Cabaret Theatre on Golden Hill Street, where, over the years, the companies integrated many elements of their organizations until (in 2015) they merged, with Eli serving as Producing Artistic Director of The Downtown Cabaret Main Stage Theatre division. After three years (and 15 productions) Eli and Christy moved on this Spring and, while continuing his work with Fairfield Teen Theatre, Bridgeport Summer Stage, and the fifth Playathon new works event (the writing, casting, rehearsing and performing of new 10-minute plays in 26 hours), he created Fairfield Center Stage as executive producer, with his wife, Christy McIntosh-Newsom as Artistic Director, Brian Bish, "social media guru," with whom Eli had worked closely at Downtown Cabaret, and many other supporters and colleagues. One early goal of FCS is to present an annual 'musical in concert' outdoors in downtown Fairfield, using local artists and staff from Fairfield County. The inauguration of this season is next week, June 28-30, with The Music Man in Concert, a FREE event, partnering with The Fairfield Museum, at the Fairfield Museum Commons, 370 Beach Rd. behind Old Town Hall. Featuring a cast of 56 local performers, ages 7 to 70, a live onstage band, The Music Man in Concert celebrates the 4th of July and small-town America, with one of Broadway's most beloved scores. See Fairfield Center Stage's nascent website and Facebook page. |

| MARY ANN HALL'S MUSIC FOR CHILDREN AND BEYOND
Mary Ann Hall created Music For Children and Beyond in 1973, before most other early childhood programs existed. As an early childhood educator, with a Master's from the University of Michigan, Mary Ann understands the role of music in empowering children and developing their self esteem and learning skills. With Music For Children & Beyond, Mary Ann and her highly trained and skilled faculty, nurture children's innate musical abilities and sensibilities. Unlike traditional music classes, the program incorporates drama, dance, art, storytelling and imaginary play, so children internalize the music, and connect to it in a physical and emotional way. As she puts it: "True musicianship should grow from within…then be danced into the everyday!" With classes in Westport, across Fairfield County and New York City, Music for Children's multi-sensory, age-appropriate curriculum has children reading music with their eyes, ears, and whole bodies. Classes are unique: each tells a story through song, dance, drama, rhythm and rhyme. Live guitar, banjo and piano every week...and hundreds of instruments to play. Based in Westport, MFC has classes at locations in Norwalk, Westport, Greenwich, Southport, New York City - and even Providence, RI and Palo Alto, CA. See FCBuzz for summer classes. See Music for Children's website. |

| | The Center for Contemporary Printmaking (CCP) is welcoming the BIG INK TOUR June 23-24, printing the large scale woodcuts of 16 selected artists. The network, focused on carving, printing, and promoting large scale woodcuts, invites artists to submit a proposal to create a woodcut, at least 24" x 36." Some 16 artists are accepted per event and given two months to carve an image. Then, BIG INK meets with the artists at a predetermined space, such as CCP, and helps print the woodcut onto paper. The events culminate in exhibition opportunities and potential sales for the artists who participate. Visitors to CCP on June 23rd and 24th are welcome to watch BIG INK in action in the parking lot between the main studio building and the Helen Frankenthaler Printmaking Cottage. |
| | The Fairfield Museum, in partnership with the National Park Service, is uncovering details of the Battle of Pequot Swamp (July 13-14, 1637) in present day Southport. The battle was the last engagement of the Pequot War, between English settlers and Native inhabitants, and was the catalyst for English settlement of Fairfield and Southport. Archeologists were surprised to recover impacted musket balls from Southport Park and Pequot Avenue, much further from the swamp than expected, and will be asking homeowners for permission to conduct metal detector surveys on their properties. For more information on this project funded by the National Park Services American Battlefield Protection Program, see this press release and visit this webpage. |
| | The Greenwich Historical Society's Greenwich Preservation Network will dedicate a new historic district marker for the Strickland Road Historic District in Cos Cob on Mon. June 25 at 1:30pm. The District encompasses the area known historically as the Lower Landing, a former maritime center and later home to the Cos Cob art colony. The historic road follows Strickland Brook from the Post Road to Cos Cob Harbor where a tidal dam, built by David Bush in 1763, created Mill Pond. The district is distinguished by the town's only National Historic Landmark, Bush-Holley House. The Historic District also features well-preserved Colonial homes set close to Strickland Road, stylish Victorian houses with sweeping front lawns, a cluster of early 20th-century Craftsman style bungalows, and a group of post-World War II houses on Mill Pond Court.

The first interview is with emmy-nominee Scott Bryce. |
| | The Stamford History Center has discovered a long-lost film of Harold June, a Stamford native who was Admiral Byrd’s co-pilot and radio operator on his historic expeditions. The 25-minute film, taken in 1930, includes June and a host of others who gathered for a day-long homecoming celebration of a local boy made good. June was one of a handful of explorers who made the first flight over the South Pole with Admiral Byrd during the 1928-30 Antarctic expedition. The film, with its original camera negative, were discovered in rusted metal cans stored in a wooden crate in the History Center’s base-ment. Film of this type usually deteriorates over time, turning to dust. The basement's environment was such that this film survived in remarkably good condition. It does need cleaning and preparing for transfer, but the images are sharp and clear, and the History Center will arrange a screening, as soon as it is ready for viewing. More... |
| | | | CT GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES BEGIN TO ANSWER ARTS & CULTURE QUESTIONNAIRE
Create the Vote CT is an election-year effort to raise awareness of the ways that arts and creative expression improve schools, strengthen local business districts, and build vibrant neighborhoods in which people want to live, visit, work, and play. While arts and culture play a significant role in state and local economies, educational systems, and in the vibrancy of neighborhoods and downtowns, candidates for public office often do not include arts and culture as part of their platforms or vision. As part of the Create the Vote CT campaign, the Connecticut Arts Alliance (CAA) and Connecticut Alliance for Arts Education (CAAE) requested that gubernatorial candidates complete an Arts and Culture Questionnaire. The six questions on the questionnaire were broadly as follows: 1. Your Personal Connection to the Arts Is there a personal experience with arts, culture, or creativity that has had an impact on your life and your view of the community?2. Arts + Economic Development How would you recognize the role of arts & culture in economic development and the revitalization of our cities? 3. Arts Education + Programs for Youth Do you support arts education as a statewide priority? If so, how will you champion arts education for our youth? 4. Arts + Attracting/Retaining Talent How do you see the role of arts and culture in Connecticut’s effort to attract and retain a talented workforce?
5. Arts + Return on Investment Will you support increased state arts funding building on this return on investment? If so, at what level and from what funding source? 6. Arts + Tourism Beyond featuring arts & culture in marketing efforts, how would you capitalize on the arts as a cornerstone to CT’s tourism industry? So far, responses have come from two gubernatorial candidates: |
| | Ned Lamont, of Greenwich, was endorsed by the Democratic Party at its convention in May. Read Lamont's responses here. |
| | Tim Herbst, of Trumbull, qualified for the primary at the Republican convention in May. Read Herbst's responses here.

| | NEKITA WALLER APPOINTED NEW STATE TROUBADOUR
Governor Dannel P. Malloy and the Connecticut Office of the Arts have announced the appointment of Nekita Waller of Middletown as Connecticut’s 17th State Troubadour. The honorary position of State Troubadour was established by the Connecticut legislature in 1991. Duties include serving as an ambassador of music and song, promoting cultural literacy among Connecticut citizens, and promoting the State of Connecticut in song. Waller will serve a three-year term beginning August 1, 2018. She succeeds Kate Callahan who served from 2016 to 2018. Governor Malloy remarked that this is an historic appointment and one that "reflects the rich diversity of culture and talent of our state." Traditionally this position is held by a folk singer, but Ms. Waller brings a new dimension to the position with a strong background in soul and pop." Kristina Newman-Scott, Executive Director of the Connecticut Office of the Arts, commented that "with a fresh vision, authentic heart, and her compelling message that Connecticut is ‘a state that I believe in’ we know she’ll serve us well.” Nekita Waller is a professional singer who has been performing in the state for decades. She won a statewide talent contest as a teen and had her stage debut at the Apollo Theater before Steve Harvey. She has won several singing awards including 2015’s Northwest Idol in Torrington. She currently performs popular music with a band and sings for special events such as Veterans Day and Martin Luther King Day programs, and in nursing homes, schools, and other venues. Her “Connecticut Anthem” video shows her talents and passion for the state. “We are an inclusive state. We are as different as the seasons here in Connecticut. I hope my song paints a picture of the beautiful place I call home,” she said. As Connecticut’s State Troubadour, Nekita wants to use this title to visit schools and meet children who don’t have the same level of opportunities afforded to them as others. “Music is my purest form of communication. It doesn’t care how much money you have, where you were born, the color of your skin, or how old you are,” notes Nekita. “There is no greater feeling or purpose than to help another person. Whether it is to make someone smile, dance, brighten their day or help them reach a better level of themselves, this is life’s greatest award.” |

| | | POETRY READERSHIP IN THE U.S. IS THE HIGHEST ON RECORD FOR 10 YEARS
About 28 million people, or 11.7 percent of the U.S. adult population, read poetry in the last year, according to a according to new data from the National Endowment for the Arts’ 2017 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA). This may not seem like much on the surface — until it's compared with the 6.7 percent found during the last survey period, in 2012. This number means that "as a share of the total U.S. adult population, this poetry readership is the highest on record over a 15-year period." To find a comparable interest in poetry, you have to reach back to 2002, when the number of adults reading poetry narrowly cleared the 12 percent threshold. The survey showed sharp increases in readership across the board — but especially among women, minorities and adults with only some college education. Amy Stolls, NEA director of literature, explained, “I suspect social media has had an influence, as well as other robust outreach activities and efforts, many of which we support through our grants to publishers and presenters, fellowships to individual poets, Poetry Out Loud, and the NEA Big Read.” Funding, however, does not pace with this increased interest: poetry is a "perennially under-resourced field," as painter Cecily Brown noted in Inside Philanthropy. Whatever the reason may be, the bottom line spells positive things for poets and their readers, who have been fairly starved for this kind of good news of late. As Quartzy notes, prior to 2017, "the portion of the total population reading poetry had been in steady decline since 1992." And there's more to come: The NEA has promised to unveil full results from the survey "over the next several months." |

| TACKLING THE GREATEST CHALLENGE: LACK OF TIME AND STAFF
Ellen Mowrer, president and COO of GrantStation writes in The GuideStar Blog, on And the Greatest Challenge for Nonprofits Is: A Lack of Time and Staff. She notes that GrantStation's Spring 2018 State of Grantseeking Report shows that again the most frequent response to the survey question “What, in your opinion, is the greatest challenge to successful grantseeking?” has remained the same. This spring, 21 percent of some 5,000 respondents answered "lack of time and staff for grantseeking activities."
Concurrently the most common answer to how organizations control rising costs is "reducing staff" and "enlisting more volunteers." For nonprofits, the need to keep administrative costs low is increased by the tendency of donors to fund projects rather than operating expenses. So how does one increase an organization’s capacity (and budget) while simultaneously controlling costs through reductions in staff?” Ellen, using the chart below, Creating Time: Keeping the Grant Pipeline Full, reports on her own success on following the advice. |
| | | Ellen's main take away: follow her boss's advice. Break tasks down into chunks and make time for longer-term thinking. Read her entire article here. |
