Alam kong hindi ko na kailangang sabihin sa iyo ito, ngunit isang taon na ang lumipas na tuluyan nang ilalagay sa ating mga alaala, at wala pa tayong kalahati ng Enero. Sa WESTAF, nagpapatuloy kami sa aming trabaho, kahit na ang aming gobyerno ay inaatake ng mga domestic terrorists at rioters. Para sa akin, sa totoo lang, naging mahirap na hindi lang kumonsumo ng cable news at doom scroll sa aking device, kahit na iyon ay nagpapasama sa akin, at may iba pang mahahalagang bagay na dapat gawin. Pero, hindi ko lang maiwasan. Para sa koponan ng WESTAF, hinihikayat namin ang pangangalaga sa sarili hangga&#039;t maaari, kahit na ang buhay at trabaho ay patuloy na sumusulong nang hindi maiiwasan. Bukod sa insureksyon (!), INAASAHAN namin ang aming virtual holiday party sa Enero 21 \u2014 ang \u201cWESTAFaganza!\u201d Salamat sa komite ng pagdiriwang para sa pagsasama-sama ng kung ano ang naghahanap upang maging isang tunay na masaya at inspirasyong pagsasama-sama \u2014 at lubhang kailangan. Isang araw pagkatapos ng inagurasyon, kaya siguro mas magiging optimistic tayo sa darating na taon para sa ating lahat. Patuloy na may mahusay na gawaing nangyayari sa buong organisasyon, at partikular na nasasabik ako tungkol sa iba&#039;t ibang mga bagong page ng benta at demo na inilulunsad sa aming mga produkto ng negosyo.

Si Teniqua ay naging kampeon ng arts education sa loob ng dalawang dekada, na may mga tungkulin sa ASU Gammage, Free Arts of Arizona at higit pa, bago itinatag ang VerveSimone noong 2013. Sa kanyang tungkulin sa pagkonsulta, sinusuportahan ni Broughton ang mga nonprofit sa mga larangan ng sining, kultura, serbisyong panlipunan at edukasyon. Nagsisilbi rin si Teniqua bilang executive director ng State of Black Arizona, isang nonprofit na organisasyon na nagpapatakbo ng mga programa sa pamumuno at gumagawa ng data sa mga African American sa estado. Mula sa iyong pamilyang WESTAF, dakila at nararapat na pagmamahal, paggalang at pagbati, Madame Vice Chair.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>ARTX UPDATE (CG)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malaki ang pasasalamat sa Board Development Committee para sa kanilang pagsusumikap sa ngayon sa pag-secure ng aming unang tagapagsalita para sa ArtX 2021. Natuklasan ng aming orihinal na tagapagsalita sa Enero na si Dr. Lisa Cooper ang hindi maiiwasang salungatan sa pag-iiskedyul, kaya sa Abril 28 na lang namin siya tatanggapin. isang magtanong sa ibang organisasyon para sa isang huling puwang ng Enero o Pebrero at ipapaalam namin sa iyo sa sandaling ito ay nakumpirma na. Pansamantala, maraming salamat sa trustee na si Bassem Bejiani at sa kanyang partner na si Lisa Burns para sa kanilang mapagbigay na donasyon sa WESTAF para masakop ang honorarium ni Dr. Cooper. Isang napaka-maalalahanin at mapagbigay na galaw \u2014 salamat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>MGA PAPARATING NA PAGpupulong ng BOARD AT COMMITTEE (CG)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ang Enero at Pebrero ay abalang buwan para sa WESTAF board of trustees. Ang Executive Committee ay magpupulong para sa isang maikling pulong sa linggong ito sa Enero 13 para sa isang post-holiday catch up at upang suriin ang mga pananalapi mula sa unang dalawang buwan ng FY21 kasama ng ilang iba pang mga bagay ng negosyo. Tulad ng alam mo, Pebrero 3 at 4 ang mga petsa para sa aming mga pulong sa taglamig ng komite at board \u2014 virtual pa rin, hindi nakakagulat. Mayroon kaming isang napaka-pack na agenda na nagsasama-sama, kabilang ang ilang mga update mula sa aming mga kasamahan sa negosyo at patakaran sa WESTAF, pati na rin ang mga presentasyon mula sa ilang mga espesyal na bisita na hindi mo gustong makaligtaan: isang ulat sa mga priyoridad ng patakaran sa pederal na sining ng papasok na Biden\/ Harris administration mula kay Heather Noonan kasama ang League of American Orchestras at ang Cultural Advocacy Group; isang ulat sa aming South Arts ELC partnership at ang nakakaintriga na patuloy na ebolusyon ng WESTAF ELC curriculum mula sa matagal nang ELC faculty, collaborator at kaibigan na si Salvador Acevedo, at isang roundup ng mga rekomendasyon sa aming foundation fundraising strategies mula sa consultant na si Beka Whitson ng Whitson Strategies. Sa ngayon, sinusubaybayan nating lahat ang parehong mabagsik na istatistika ng pandemya habang hinihintay ang paglulunsad ng pambansang bakuna na ipagpalagay ng isang mas mahusay na administrasyon, kaya pinaghihinalaan ko na kapag nakapagkita tayong muli nang personal ay malamang na malinaw na tayong lahat. May maliit na posibilidad para sa May I suppose, ngunit talagang nagdududa ako. Umaasa ako para sa Oktubre sa Denver.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>WESTAF AY NAGSASAGAWA NG BILL ANALYSIS NG HR 133 CONSOLIDATED APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2021 (DEC. 21, 2020) AT INILABAS SA STATE ARTS AGENCY AT STATE ARTS ADVOCACY NETWORKS (DH)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On December 23, WESTAF released a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1FwuNSk2f4PYjjbZsVm0whrOno5lyuPmeLZLMS8SY2m8\/edit\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">briefing <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to state arts agencies and state arts advocacy groups analyzing HR 133, the legislative vehicle for the latest pandemic relief package and a comprehensive appropriations bill. The analysis was conducted by the AAP team and referenced work jointly conducted by members of the Cultural Advocacy Group to analyze the bill. The bill includes a range of areas that affect the arts and cultural sector, commercial and nonprofit, and that support a wide range of constituencies nationwide. There are a number of measures that advance equity, which for the arts and cultural sector include the proposed creation of a Smithsonian American Women\u2019s History Museum and a National Museum of the American Latino. The Small Business Administration will implement a new $15 billion grant program dedicated to providing support for \u201cshuttered venue operators.\u201d $2 billion is specifically designated for organizations with less than 50 FTE employees. The program will provide grants of up to $10 million for eligible organizations, which include live venue operators or promoters, theatrical producers, live performing arts organization operators, relevant museum operators, motion picture theatre operators, or talent representatives that meet other requirements. This multi-billion dollar investment in venues is the realization of Save our Stages, which WESTAF endorsed in its bill form on behalf of Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) in July 2020. $167.5 million each is allocated for the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, which is $5.25 million more than the 2020 enacted levels and rejects the White House\u2019s budget request proposal to eliminate the agencies. The bill includes language that permits grant funds appropriated this year and in fiscal years 2019 and 2020 to be used for operating expenses. The bill also ensures that priority is given to providing services or awarding financial assistance for projects, productions, workshops, or programs that serve underserved populations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2021 ARTS LEADERSHIP AND ADVOCACY SEMINAR INANOUNCE (DH)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inanunsyo ng WESTAF ang aming 2021 Arts Leadership and Advocacy Seminar (ALAS) na magaganap sa Miyerkules, Pebrero 24 at Huwebes, Pebrero 25, 2021. Ang ALAS ngayong taon ay iho-host nang halos may pinalawak na pagtuon. Ang seminar ay magtatampok ng serye ng mga panel discussion at mga tagapagsalita na magbabahagi ng kanilang kaalaman sa mga paksang may kaugnayan sa pederal na adbokasiya, nakakaengganyo na mga miyembro ng Kongreso, at ang pagbabago ng larangan. Kasama sa mga kumpirmadong panelist sa yugtong ito si C\u00e9zanne Charles, co-founder ng design studio rootoftwo; Hal Real, tagapagtatag ng World Cafe Live, tagapangulo ng Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation, at presidente ng National Independent Venue Foundation; Heather Noonan, vice president para sa adbokasiya sa League of American Orchestras at convener ng Cultural Advocacy Group; at mga co-chair ng Western Arts Advocacy Network (WAAN) na sina Manny Cawaling, executive director ng Inspire Washington, at Julie Baker, executive director ng California Arts Advocates. Magpapadala kami ng mga update at karagdagang detalye tungkol sa pagpupulong sa mga darating na linggo habang mas maraming impormasyon ang magiging available. Naipadala na ang isang anunsyo sa board ng WESTAF at network ng ahensya ng state arts at magpapadala kami ng anunsyo sa mga prospective na kalahok sa lalong madaling panahon. Magbubukas ang pagpaparehistro sa huling bahagi ng buwang ito sa event platform Aventri.

The report, 92 pages and 22,951 words in length with over 120 sources in its final draft form, features 11 case studies from states and communities across the country\u2014Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia. In each, resilient regions and creative industries, dynamic organizations, well-established and innovative initiatives and programs, and a number of creative economy-supportive public policies are examined. In Arizona, the Arizona Creative Communities Institute is explored alongside the development of the creative economy in selected communities. The place of arts and culture within the regional development aspirations of Northwest Arkansas and the art-led economic development of Western Massachusetts are also explored alongside a suburban creative district in Prince George\u2019s County Maryland and cultural tourism in Appalachian Tennessee. Recent legislation that creates the pathway to a statewide creative districts program in Nebraska that builds upon its growing creative economy is also explored. The award-winning radio music program Mountain Stage and Charleston, West Virginia\u2019s music industry are also explored as is the meteoric rise of Georgia\u2019s film industry. The creative economy strategies that leverage the rich historical, scenic, and cultural assets of rural regions in Southern Minnesota and Northeast Kingdom Vermont are also presented. Bellevue, Washington\u2019s thriving digital creative economy, particularly a growing gaming industry, is considered in the context of its emergence as a tech hub. These textured stories also present CVSuite data that point to growing industries and job markets in some creative economies and high concentrations of creative activity in states and regions that are not often identified as creative centers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>WESTAF REGION STATE ARTS AGENCIES DISBURSE $85 MILLION TO DATE SA STATE RELIEF FUNDS SA ARTS AND CULTURE SECTOR SA KANLURAN (DH)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The total in state-directed relief funds directly supporting arts and culture and administered by state arts agencies has risen to over $85 million across the region including a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/olis.leg.state.or.us\/liz\/2019I1\/Downloads\/CommitteeMeetingDocument\/224701\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$50 milyong relief package para sa kultura ng Oregon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a $19.5 million allocation of state relief funds to the Utah Division of Arts and Museums through the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/artsandmuseums.utah.gov\/create-in-utah-phases-1-2\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lumikha sa programa ng Utah<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, ang<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/azarts.gov\/news\/governor-announces-2-million-in-relief-funding-for-arizonas-arts-culture-sector\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $2 milyong state relief funds na inilalaan sa Arizona Commission on the Arts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, ang <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arts.wa.gov\/2020\/12\/21\/artswa-and-commerce-announce-3-405m-in-relief-grants\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$3.4 milyong relief grant program na inihatid ng Washington State Arts Commission at ng Washington State Department of Commerce<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, ang <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oedit.colorado.gov\/colorado-arts-relief-grant\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$7.5 million in state relief funding recently awarded to Colorado Creative Industries<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, ang <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wyoarts.state.wy.us\/wyoming-arts-council-announces-additional-cares-act-financial-assistance-for-arts-and-cultural-organizations-and-individual-artists\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$2.4 million the Wyoming Arts Council received from the Wyoming Governor&#8217;s Office through the CARES Act for arts and cultural relief<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Montana Arts Council\u2019s CARES program received supplemental support from the Montana Governor\u2019s Office of Budget and Program Planning to meet demand for their grants to individuals and organizations. All of these state arts agencies have shown tremendous leadership in making the case for the value of arts and culture and their need for support during this period of extreme disruption, and there looks to be more good news on the horizon in other states. Notably, California Governor Gavin Newsom\u2019s $575 million Early Action Budget proposal, part of a $4.5 billion recovery proposal, includes $25 million for small cultural institutions, such as museums and art galleries, that have been constrained by the pandemic in their ability to educate the community and remain financially viable to be disbursed by California Governor&#8217;s Office of Business and Economic Development. Funding for a new California Creative Corps Program, a modern creative workforce program (what some might call a \u201cWPA-style program\u201d), is also included in the budget proposal to be launched by California Arts Council. WESTAF facilitated a special WAAN knowledge sharing session on strategies for securing state relief funds in August 2020, and participates in regular and ongoing dialogues with Californians Arts Advocacy and the WESTAF supported lobbyist in California on strategies for securing state relief funding for the arts and cultural sector including individual artists.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>PINAGTUTURO ANG PAGLUNSAD NG APPLICATION NA IPINAGPALIT PARA SA 2021-2022 GRANT CYCLE (LM)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dahil sa mga hindi pa nagagawang epekto ng pandemya ng COVID-19, ang TourWest team ng WESTAF ay nakatuon sa pag-aalok ng mas maraming flexibility hangga&#039;t maaari upang mapaunlakan ang aming komunidad ng mga presenter at artist sa panahong ito ng hamon.

The sales site is the first for ZAPP and will help the team in its endeavors to increase ZAPP\u2019s online presence and better position it in search results. The team also launched the enhancement to allow events to collect applications from non-artist vendors \u2014 something it believes can increase revenue and add value to the system. Finally, the team is happy to report that ZAPP\u2019s December renewal figures were only four short of our December 2019 numbers, a sign that organizations are optimistic about returning to in-person events in 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Magalang na isinumite,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kristiyano<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings WESTAF trustees and colleagues: Welcome to the first biweekly recap of 2021.
