CONNECTICUT MAIN STREET CENTER
President & CEO: Patrick McMahon
Connecticut Main Street Center (CMSC) is a nonprofit whose mission is to be the catalyst that ignites Connecticut’s Main Streets as the cornerstone of thriving communities. CMSC is a member of Main Street America, a subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. It helps member communities tailor the Four Point Approach (Organization, Promotion, Design, and Economic Restructuring) to Downtown Revitalization, currently used in 2,000+ communities. Developed by the National Trust, the program advances economic and community development within the context of historic preservation, and advocates public-private partnerships to ensure lasting success. CMSC works at both the local and State level to create and implement successful downtowns that meet the needs of residents and visitors, through education, technical assistance and advocacy. CMSC was established by the Connecticut Light & Power Company (now Eversource Energy) in 1995, recognizing that, in light of its need to protect its infrastructure investment in the State’s downtowns, there was no comprehensive approach to revitalizing historic commercial districts. As a result, it decided to provide the funding and internal administrative resources to establish the Connecticut Main Street Program. To this day, CL&P remains the only private corporation in the country to have solely sponsored and administered a statewide Main Street initiative. See CMSC website, Facebook page and Twitter feed. |

Founder & CEO: Ina Anderson
Emerging Voices Production Company EVPC) is a new venture that specializes in writing and producing community theater, seeking to bring culturally relevant content to the Fairfield County Theater Community. EV productions are based on truths that are explored through moments in history that can engage the audience to think outside of the norms. Ina Anderson, founder and CEO of EVPC, has been writing and directing plays for the last 15 years. With a love for seeing stories come to life on stage, she started in the industry as an actress and is now a writer and director. She has performed at Bridgeport’s MAAFA Influence Productions, now in its 14th year, hosted by the Mount Aery Baptist Church and has directed many MAAFA Influence Productions. The mission of EV Productions is "to provide a constant venue for thought-provoking artistic expression, based on historical interpretation of the forgotten voices that will emerge through the art of stage acting, dance, and music." Ina says that, as an African American woman, she hopes that she will "have the opportunity to use the stage to engage audiences, from all walks of life, to remember the past, feel and live in their present and consciously weigh the possible outcomes of the decisions, or the lack thereof, which will for many dictate the future." She hopes to be able to remind all people that we have more in common than we have differences and plans to involve the young people of our communities with the opportunity to learn and present theater.

NORWALK METROPOLITAN YOUTH BALLET
A Creative Services MemberExecutive Director: Christina HolmsArtistic Director: Adam James Holms
Norwalk Metropolitan Youth Ballet offers dancers ballet instruction that sets the foundation for the primary student and nurtures the pre-professional artist. NYMB's mission is "to use the art of the dance to motivate and inspire children to become the best possible version of themselves." Under the mentorship of highly qualified instructors and in a nurturing environment, students become empowered as they develop their lifelong love of dance: "We aspire to change the world one child at a time through heart of ballet." Beyond simply giving ballet instruction NMYB creates a community of dancers with mentors who nurture the young dancers' development. During NMYB’s year-round season, dancers are trained to develop their technique, artistry, and personality through classical and contemporary technique classes, creative movement, pointe, men’s class, partnering class, and ensemble experiences. NMYB’s Apprentice Ensemble and Ensemble Ètoile dancers benefit from the opportunity to compete in the world’s largest ballet competition, Youth America Grand Prix. NMYB also provides a school residency program, En Pointe, providing children with learning opportunities that are “grounded in the expression of the human body.” The Company works hand-in-hand with school administrators to create experiences supporting the rigors associated with Common Core and other means of assessment. Rooted in Awareness, Application, Appreciation and Assessment, sessions embody the essence of Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence and use Bloom’s Taxonomy to ensure the highest level of student comprehension and participation. The Company recognizes that success is different for each child, from the physical excursion of the body or mastery of a new skill to more internal or personal experiences that provide a new-found sense of confidence. See NMYB's website, Facebook page and Instagram feed. |

| ARTS, HUMANITIES & GOVERNOR'S COMPROMISE BUDGET
Governor Malloy yesterday released a compromise budget proposal for the biennium. The proposal restores a significant amount of funding to nonprofit services that had been cut under the Executive Order Resource Allocation Plan. See complete budget here: go to page 54 for DECD Budget. Of particular note:1. Proposed Tourism Fund to house Arts and Humanities, thus downplaying our role in the economy; 2. Office of the Arts budget suffers a proposed 45% cut in FY18 to $0.9 million, increasing slightly in FY19 to $1.26 million, still far short of FY17 levels 3. CT Humanities budget receives minimal "restoration" of $0.25 million, increasing to $1.26 million in FY19 4. Community Investment Act (CIA) funds suffer a continued 50% cut (previously agreed to sunset on June 30, 2017; here extended to June 30, 2019), raising serious concerns about the future of the fund. The Governor's Compromise Proposal raises over $1 billion in new revenue and significantly reduces deep cuts to municipalities in the Executive Order. The proposal is expected to guide final negotiations between the Governor and legislative leadership. It is imperative that we continue telling state legislators to pass a final budget that fully funds essential programs and services that thousands of people depend on. The longer it takes to pass a budget the more nonprofits and the people they serve will be hurt. Check with Connecticut Arts Alliance for updates. |

CT HUMANITIES GRANTS CONNECTICUT 1818 CONSTITUTION CELEBRATION
In preparation for the 200th anniversary of the Connecticut Constitution of 1818, Connecticut Humanities (CTH) is coordinating statewide efforts around the constitution’s commemoration. CTH has set aside a small amount of grant money to support projects around this issue, hoping to inspire the creation of programs, exhibits, academic research, and other projects as well as bring together organizations that have an interest in celebrating this landmark document. Unlike other states after the American Revolution, Connecticut did not form a new state constitution. Choosing to rely on the Charter of 1662, Connecticut’s government was based on membership in the Congregational Church. To participate, one had to own property, be approved by the town’s freemen and selectmen, and be a member of the Congregational Church. In 1818, a sufficient number of dissenters organized to unseat the Federalist Party in Connecticut. The newly empowered state Republicans called for a constitutional convention to overhaul the state’s government along more liberal lines. The 1818 constitution called for a separation of church and state and equality before the law of all denominations, no longer required property ownership to vote, gave greater independence to the judicial branch (their decisions could no longer be appealed to the executive branch), and gave each existing town two Representatives in the House. The sentiments and social concepts of 1818 are still relevant today and could make potential programming around religious freedom, separation of church and state, emoluments, state’s rights, voting rights, changing population demographics, etc.). Interested in learning more about the grant funds? Then please contact Stacy Jennings at sjennings@cthumanities.org. |

Grants of up to $6,000 will fund short-term projects involving three to nine activities taking place over at least three consecutive or separate days within a month. See the CMA website for complete program guidelines, an FAQ, and contact information for potential presenter and ensemble partners. Application Workshop Webinars take place Sept. 14 and Sept 27.

CONNECTICUT HUMANITIES EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Connecticut Humanities (CTH) is seeking an Executive Director who will advance our mission of promoting intellectual curiosity, understanding, critical thinking and lifelong learning through partnerships, collaborative programming and grants. As the chief executive of Connecticut Humanities, the Executive Director is the public face of the organization and reports to a 17-member board of directors.

The Executive Director will have the ability to develop and implement an overall strategic direction established in partnership with the board and staff and will be accountable to the board for delivering tangible results in line with the organization’s strategy. A key element of this strategic plan is the development of new and more diverse sources of revenue.
