Or\u00edgenes de WESTAF: apoyo a la creatividad en Occidente<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"La Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF), conocida en su momento como la rama de Artes y Humanidades de la Federaci\u00f3n de Estados de las Monta\u00f1as Rocosas, se estableci\u00f3 como un conducto de apoyo a la creatividad en el cambiante panorama del Oeste y naci\u00f3 de una visi\u00f3n colectiva y un compromiso inquebrantable con el acceso equitativo a las artes para todos. La misi\u00f3n de WESTAF se cristaliz\u00f3 en torno a la defensa de las artes, la facilitaci\u00f3n del intercambio cultural y la provisi\u00f3n de sistemas de apoyo para la gran cantidad de artistas y organizaciones culturales diseminadas por los estados del Oeste.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A Founding Member’s Impact<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"Louise Tester, miembro fundadora de WESTAF, fue vicepresidenta entre 1973 y 1977. Como pintora y artista expresionista abstracta, alent\u00f3 a su comunidad local en Yuma, Arizona, a abrazar las artes y el impacto que el arte puede tener. Trabaj\u00f3 en estrecha colaboraci\u00f3n con el Museo Metropolitano de Arte en el montaje de la exposici\u00f3n de arte infantil de los indios Hopi, que luego recorri\u00f3 todo el pa\u00eds.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

En 1963, Tester fund\u00f3 la Asociaci\u00f3n de Bellas Artes de Yuma y fue su primera directora. Luego pas\u00f3 a dirigir la Comisi\u00f3n de Artes y Humanidades de Arizona, donde obtuvo los fondos necesarios para muchos programas en todo el estado.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

En 1977 recibi\u00f3 el premio al m\u00e9rito distinguido de la Facultad de Bellas Artes de la Universidad Estatal de Arizona. En 1982, fue distinguida con el premio Governor's Arts Award por su dilatada trayectoria y sus contribuciones a las artes.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Una exposici\u00f3n itinerante e innovadora<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

En 1973, la Federaci\u00f3n de Estados de las Monta\u00f1as Rocosas patrocin\u00f3 una exposici\u00f3n itinerante llamada Artrain con la ayuda de los ferrocarriles Southern Pacific y Union Pacific. Este tren viajaba de un lugar a otro con la mayor cantidad de arte que pod\u00eda transportar y llevaba el arte a tantas comunidades como fuera posible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Artrain tuvo tanto \u00e9xito que en abril de 1973, el gobernador de Utah, Calvin Rampton, declar\u00f3 ese mes como el \u201cMes de Artrain\u201d en todo el estado, y el alcalde de Brigham City, Utah, tambi\u00e9n declar\u00f3 la Semana de Artrain como feriado del 22 al 28 de abril. El alcalde dijo: \u201cEstoy profundamente interesado en todas y cada una de las experiencias que enriquecen las vidas de los ciudadanos de nuestra comunidad, donde la gente siempre ha dado la bienvenida a artistas de todas las disciplinas en Brigham City\u201d.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/b>Programas comunitarios en constante evoluci\u00f3n<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

At the grassroots level, WESTAF helped to catalyze programs that were rooted in community needs and aspirations. The goal was that these initiatives be as diverse as the communities they served, from funding local art projects to organizing cultural events that highlighted the region’s rich artistic offerings. An emphasis on community-driven programs highlighted the symbiotic relationship between art and society.
\n<\/span>
\nUna instituci\u00f3n, Ballet West, naci\u00f3 de una colaboraci\u00f3n con la Federaci\u00f3n de Estados de las Monta\u00f1as Rocosas. Ballet West, sucesor del Utah Civic Ballet, ha hecho del ballet una forma de arte m\u00e1s accesible y asequible en la regi\u00f3n occidental a trav\u00e9s del apoyo de la Federaci\u00f3n para convertir al Utah Civic Ballet en una compa\u00f1\u00eda de ballet profesional regional.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Willam Christensen dijo sobre el proyecto: \u201cSi tiene el \u00e9xito que esperamos, no solo tendremos una buena compa\u00f1\u00eda de ballet aqu\u00ed, sino una excelente. Por supuesto, siempre seguiremos siendo una compa\u00f1\u00eda de Utah y Utah siempre ser\u00e1 nuestro hogar. Pero ahora podemos atender a m\u00e1s personas, aumentar nuestra estabilidad y ayudar a distribuir el costo de operaci\u00f3n en un \u00e1rea m\u00e1s amplia y con un p\u00fablico m\u00e1s amplio\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Un viaje que a\u00fan contin\u00faa<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Hoy, la WESTAF sigue celebrando la imaginaci\u00f3n occidental a trav\u00e9s de las artes, y nos sentimos honrados y agradecidos de ser testigos de c\u00f3mo las organizaciones culturales de nuestra regi\u00f3n crean legados y ven c\u00f3mo las comunidades se unen bajo el paraguas de las artes. Nuestra visi\u00f3n sigue siendo la misma y nuestra misi\u00f3n sigue resonando 50 a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s al apoyar a las organizaciones art\u00edsticas y a los artistas en su b\u00fasqueda por servir a p\u00fablicos diversos, enriquecer las vidas de las comunidades locales y brindar acceso a las artes para todos.<\/span><\/p>\n
