| | | | | | | | We are very pleased to announce that we recently were awarded three grants for our work: $5,000 for our program and general operating support from the Adolph and Ruth Schnurmacher Foundation, $5,000 in CARES Act Relief Funding from CT Humanities, and $2,000 from the New Canaan Community Foundation, to support our peer networking programs. We are very grateful for this show of support, and thank all those involved in the decisions to fund our continuing community work to stimulate and support the arts and culture in our region of coastal Fairfield County. |
| | | ❝We recognize that we must be vigorously pro-active, more fervently align our day-to-day work with our most ambitious beliefs and aspirations, and take meaningful actions, whether small or large, that are focused directly on the inequities that define our region’s current ways.❞
|
|
| | The Cultural Alliance has drafted a "Statement on Equity and Engagement," designed to focus staff and board on our own practices and to stimulate further work with all of our members, both with self-examination/training webinars, as well as collective work. We are currently engaged in the early stages of two projects that are designed to open us up to a wider and deeper range of cultures and expressions: a) a Listening Campaign – a series of community meetings across the region to hear from the broadest and most inclusive constituency we have ever gathered; and b) a long-term project, Sowing Equity and Engagement by Design (SEED), a county-wide initiative undertaken alongside the Cultural Alliance of Western Connecticut designed to support diverse, collaborative creative placemaking projects across the region, creating a community of practice laboratory to discover more transformative ways of working together. Both of these projects have been slowed down by the pandemic. In the meantime, we plan to work with our members in education and action, and invite you to join us. |

| | | | | The Adrich Contemporary Art Museum is planning a unique fundraiser on July 6, In an Instant: Polaroids for The Aldrich. The Museum sent Polaroid cameras to 31 alumni artists and asked them to return eight photographs.

The works will be on sale online July 6-13, priced at $175 each, unframed. The sale will help sustain the Aldrich during the pandemic. The Museum also plans to contribute $5,000 from In an Instant to Black Art Futures Fund, a philanthropic fund that supports Black arts organizations. Learn more... |

| | | At the annual meeting of the Greenwich Symphony Orchestra held on Wed., June 10, Peter Tesei was elected board president, replacing Mary Radcliffe who has served on the board since 1972. Mary and Peter are similar in that each is an exceptionally dedicated public servant, Mary through music and Peter in politics. Peter was first elected to public office at age 18 and served six terms as Greenwich First Selectman. Each is emblematic of the fabric that makes Greenwich such a vibrant community: Peter a fifth generation Greenwich resident, and Mary, a conservatory trained musician born in Hungary who fled to the US during World War II. |

| | In March when most venues were closing, Silvermine Galleries at the Silvermine Arts Center was receiving artwork from across the country for its FIBER 2020 Exhibit. To serve the artists in the exhibit, Silvermine quickly had the website team design and implement an online gallery so the exhibit could be viewed virtually.

You can view the gallery online.

| | L.A. ADOPTS FIRST OF ITS KIND CULTURAL POLICY
Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture has recently adopted a Countywide Cultural Policy, the first of its kind in the nation.

"This policy provides guidelines to make sure that every resident in this diverse county has meaningful access to that joyous healing power." See Full Article... |
| | SCORES FOR A SOCIALLY DISTANCED ORCHESTRA
Mahler’s “Symphony of a Thousand” might not be a great idea as we all try follow social distancing guidelines. Schoenberg’s “Gurrelieder,” with 150 instrumentalists and even more singers? Ditto. As the coronavirus pandemic endures, much of the attention in resuming the performing arts has been on the size and density of audiences. But symphony orchestras are often just as packed onstage as in their auditoriums. If concerts are to go forward with social distancing restrictions in place, they will have to include not just fewer listeners, but also fewer players. Schott/EAM, a publisher of contemporary composers, recently posted an inspiring list of works from its catalog appropriate for social distancing. Orchestras that are able to muster even a smattering of music in the coming months would do well to use those events as opportunities for depth and diversity — not merely as proof of bare survival.

| | FIRST TO CLOSE. LAST TO OPEN. COVID-19'S IMPACT ON ARTS ORGANIZATIONS
The COVID-19 pandemic continues its stranglehold on the nation’s arts sector. Since the first U.S. case was reported on January 20, 2020, cancellations and closings have taken place at nearly every arts organizations across the country, and nearly two-thirds of the nation’s artists are now unemployed. New research by the Small Business Administration shows that “Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation” is now the sector of the economy with highest percentage of “temporary closings” (53.3 percent of businesses surveyed). Nationally, financial losses to nonprofit arts and cultural organizations are an estimated $6.7 billion as of June 15, 2020. Organizations also have lost 234 million admissions due to cancelled events, resulting in a $7.4 billion loss in event-related spending by audiences at local businesses (restaurants, lodging, retail). Americans for the Arts leads the three premier national studies tracking the human and financial impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on the arts. See Full Report... |
| | HOW RACIALLY DIVERSE ARE CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS' AUDIENCES?
It probably won’t surprise you: On the whole, museums and performing arts organizations do not always succeed in engaging audiences that are racially representative of the population of the U.S., according to Colleen Dilenschneider of Know Your Own Bone. The good news is that – with prioritization and diligence – there is a data-informed path to successfully engaging more representative audiences. But the data shows that the sector has some work to do to gain the representative engagement of all of our audience. Read full report... |
| | MICHAEL KAISER: WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE ARTS? COMMUNITY IS THE KEY
Michael Kaiser is known as "the turnaround king" – so named for his role in rescuing Kansas City Ballet, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and American Ballet Theatre from fiscal calamity. He is also the man who shepherded the Kennedy Center through 9/11 and the Great Recession. In a recent webinar with heads of Austin-TX cultural organizations, he wasted no time laying out his road map for what's ahead. While arts groups may be able to open their doors and offer some programming with social distancing, audiences still may not feel comfortable enough to attend, meaning earned income will also remain low. How long, Kaiser asked, can organizations keep creating work without compensation and without burning themselves out? "Community" proved to be a key word in Kaiser's address. Whatever an arts organization chose to do should not for its own need or benefit, it needs to benefit the community. For the arts to be valued in a post-COVID world, Kaiser said, "we have to be about what we offer, how it's important, why we do this work, and how our community benefits." Read full report... |
| | STUDY: INTENTIONS TO VISIT CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS REMAIN DEPRESSED
According to Colleen Dilenschneider of Know Your Own Bone, the near-term intentions to visit cultural organizations remain depressed across the U.S., with more encouraging data continuing to suggest a hopeful return to more normal behaviors within the next few months. In some states, cultural organizations were still closed last week and in other states that have reopened, COVID-19 cases are on the rise, resulting in a holding pattern in people making plans to visit cultural entities within the next month. This is especially true in the immediate near term as intentions to visit cultural organizations next week remain low across the U.S. Read full report... |
