\nLe lundi 2 ao\u00fbt, Ashanti McGee a commenc\u00e9 son r\u00f4le de responsable des subventions et de l'acc\u00e8s au SRI. Ashanti McGee est une artiste et une d\u00e9fenseure des arts qui r\u00e9side \u00e0 Las Vegas, dans le Nevada, depuis plus de 25 ans. Elle a commenc\u00e9 son travail administratif dans le domaine des arts en aidant les organisations locales et \u00e0 but non lucratif \u00e0 r\u00e9diger et \u00e0 g\u00e9rer des subventions et a continu\u00e9 \u00e0 travailler dans ce domaine pendant plus d'une d\u00e9cennie. En 2014, elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 choisie comme repr\u00e9sentante du Nevada pour le programme Emerging Leaders of Color de la WESTAF et a \u00e9t\u00e9 membre du panel pour le s\u00e9minaire sur le leadership et la d\u00e9fense des arts de la WESTAF. Elle a r\u00e9cemment \u00e9t\u00e9 repr\u00e9sentante de district pour la d\u00e9put\u00e9e du Nevada Susie Lee, se concentrant sur la sensibilisation des communaut\u00e9s noires, am\u00e9rindiennes et LGBTQ+ autour des arts et de la culture, de l'environnement et des terres publiques. Fi\u00e8re maman de quatre enfants, McGee a consacr\u00e9 son travail aux arts et \u00e0 l'\u00e9ducation, notamment en mettant \u00e0 jour les normes d'\u00e9ducation artistique pour le minist\u00e8re de l'\u00c9ducation du Nevada, en \u00e9tant membre du conseil d'administration de la Cultural Alliance of Nevada, une organisation de d\u00e9fense des arts \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle de l'\u00c9tat ; cofondatrice du Las Vegas Womxn of Color Arts Festival et membre fondateur du complexe NUWU Cultural Arts + Activism, un espace d\u00e9tenu et exploit\u00e9 par des personnes de couleur \u00e0 Las Vegas qui \u0153uvre pour \u00e9lever toutes les communaut\u00e9s en renfor\u00e7ant les connaissances et l'identit\u00e9 culturelles \u00e0 travers les arts, l'activisme et l'\u00e9ducation. (En raison de circonstances impr\u00e9vues, le nouveau responsable des subventions et des capitaux propres annonc\u00e9 pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment commencera \u00e0 une date ult\u00e9rieure, une annonce conjointe \u00e9tant en attente).<\/span><\/p>\n
\nPlease find linked the <\/span>June Cash Summary<\/span><\/a> et le <\/span>corresponding memo<\/span><\/a> that was shared with the executive committee at their meeting on July 28. Please also find the <\/span>July cash projections<\/span><\/a>. As the memo states, June is 75% through the year (!!), and not surprisingly, we are behind in both income and expense due in part to the pandemic (67% and 70% respectively on line 38) per the cash summary report. A reminder that WESTAF provided ZAPP with a loan to help with cash flow (which results in the 42% of income from ZAPP on line 9), and the WESTAF executive committee voted to forgive that loan last month. We currently have a positive cash net balance when Mellon is removed from the totals (purple totals on line 39). We are 17% ahead of last June’s earned income per the far right section of the cash summary (not including ZAPP management fees), which indicates growth as we climb out of the pandemic. The McKenzie-Scott donation is included in the accrual net on line 43 and the cash reserve account on line 50. Since those funds went to our investments, we are planning on keeping them out of this year’s cash flow totals. While we continue to project a deficit, we are expecting it will be smaller than our budgeted deficit of $398,000.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nThe executive committee of the WESTAF board of trustees held their monthly virtual meeting on July 28. The conversation centered largely around the organization\u2019s re-energized approach to mission-driven, socially responsible investment. The committee reviewed WESTAF\u2019s current (and dated) investment policy and made some improvement\/updating the language therein. In addition, the committee reviewed several different mission-aligned investment resources, including <\/span>Angeles Investments<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Impact Shares<\/span><\/a>, as well as a customized ESG (environmental, societal and governance) proposal from our current investment manager ATON Advisors. The committee also heard a brief update on WESTAF\u2019s Pacific Island efforts (more on that below) and also received an update on the four key, upcoming in-person retreats and meetings (more on that below, as well). The committee also received an update on the compliance impact of <\/span>Colorado COMPS Order #37<\/span><\/a>. The meeting concluded with a finance update and an update from the EIC.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nQuatre retraites et r\u00e9unions cl\u00e9s en personne auront lieu dans les 1 \u00e0 3 prochains mois et contribueront r\u00e9ellement \u00e0 \u00e9clairer les initiatives et les priorit\u00e9s de l'organisation \u00e0 l'approche de l'exercice 22\u00a0:<\/span><\/p>\n\n
\nAfter a robust open call for nomination process that identified over 90 potential panelists, WESTAF confirmed the availability of more than 60 panel candidates. Staff reviewed each panelist application to ensure a mix of candidates from each of the 13 states whose experience aligns with the goals of the WESTAF ARP. To this end, 25 panelists have been confirmed and will engage in one of two panel orientation sessions on August 11. <\/span>Learn more about the panelists breakdown by state at this link<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nOn August 6, the Leaders of Color Advisory Committee met with Anika and Ashanti. The purpose of the meeting was to review 1:1 conversations that Anika had with each committee member in the past few months and engage in a brainstorm on future planning for the network around the following activities for FY22: 1) creating compensated statewide representatives from the network to ensure that there is connection among members in each state and to act as WESTAF LOC ambassadors in each state; 2) providing thought leadership around mini \u201ccatalyst\u201d convenings each state to ensure intimate gatherings of the network for community building and activation; and 3) developing an artist-centered re-granting program where the network work guides WESTAF on all aspects of the grant design. <\/span>Review the brief slide deck from this meeting here<\/span><\/a>. As part of the next steps, the SRI team will meet for further concept development and continue conversations with the committee and network as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nFive new speakers and panelists have been confirmed for the <\/span>Sommet de la vitalit\u00e9 cr\u00e9ative<\/span><\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n\n
\nWESTAF recently <\/span>endorsed a letter<\/span><\/a> to U.S. Secretary of Education Dr. Miguel A. Cardona as part of an early effort to engage the Arts Education Partnership, a national network of over 100 organizations dedicated to advancing arts education. The letter asks the U.S. Department of Education to commit to data collection regarding access to arts education and student learning in the arts; issue a letter to state Title I Directors, Chief State School Officers, and Secretaries of Education specifying the eligibility of arts education for use of Title I funds; and create staff leadership positions to advise on the arts and arts learning.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nLe 26 juillet, Be An Arts Hero\/Arts Workers United a organis\u00e9 une r\u00e9union de plaidoyer pour la loi sur la revitalisation de l'\u00e9conomie cr\u00e9ative (CERA) afin de discuter d'un effort de plaidoyer coordonn\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle du terrain en faveur de la l\u00e9gislation lorsqu'elle sera introduite, en donnant la priorit\u00e9 aux membres du Congressional Arts Caucus, aux membres du Small Business Committee et aux membres du Energy\/Commerce Committee. Le groupe WAAN organis\u00e9 par WESTAF a jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le d\u00e9terminant dans l'appel \u00e0 cet effort conjoint. Le nouveau groupe a d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 un canal Slack et partag\u00e9 des documents de travail et se r\u00e9unira toutes les deux semaines dans l'intervalle. Be an #ArtsHero est une campagne populaire intersectionnelle dirig\u00e9e par des b\u00e9n\u00e9voles de 100% compos\u00e9e de travailleurs des arts et de la culture, de syndicats et d'institutions aux \u00c9tats-Unis qui poussent le S\u00e9nat \u00e0 allouer une aide proportionnelle au secteur des arts et de la culture de l'\u00e9conomie am\u00e9ricaine.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nOn Monday, August 2, David joined the Performing Arts Visa Working Group, a national network of organizations including the Association for Performing Arts Professionals (APAP), American Federation of Musicians, the Recording Academy, Tamizdat, and others, that advocate for international artist mobility and engage USCIS and the State Department on issues affecting international artist mobility in the U.S. context. The group is in discussions on USCIS Processing, Consular Visa Processing, and COVID-19 NIE (National Interest Exemption) Restrictions. The group is actively advocating for <\/span>the ARTS Act,<\/span><\/a> which would reestablish the Arts Requiring Timely Service provision at the Immigration Service. WESTAF\u2019s AAP division regularly issues advisory opinions, consultation letters, and no objection letters for foreign guest artists seeking entry to the U.S. for artistic and cultural projects. In recent months, Moana and David have processed 10 letters requested by host organizations, law firms, and artists. WESTAF has also taken a more active role in international artistic exchange through our management of the Performing Arts Discovery program on behalf of the National Endowment for the Arts in 2021. Joining the Performing Arts Visa Policy Working Group increases our access to intelligence on changes to visa policies and larger international artist mobility issues, particularly during the pandemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nWESTAF has pledged to develop its competency, build understanding and deepen relationships within the disability community. To help us along our journey, we have engaged <\/span>DisArt<\/span><\/a>, a nonprofit dedicated to cultivating and communicating disability cultural identity. DisArt recently released two newsletters that go a long way to helping us understand their work \u2014 <\/span>one which centers DisCourse<\/span><\/a>, their consulting and coaching group, and <\/span>another newsletter<\/span><\/a> that focuses on various partnerships, podcasts and disability-related topics. I highly recommend these newsletters if you want to learn more about DisArt and their work!<\/span><\/p>\n
\nWe received a pass from our <\/span>AWS Imagine Grant application<\/span><\/a>\u2014their loss! It\u2019s a superlative project, and we are left with some excellent description language about our fundraising plans around the Public Art Archive that will serve us well into the future. Another follow up to <\/span>the Sloan Foundation,<\/span><\/a> this time a new connection. Thank you Tamara, for helping us initiate a personal connection to the<\/span> Patrick J. McGovern Foundation<\/span><\/a>\u2014we are optimistic that an introductory meeting is forthcoming there. After a promising introductory meeting, Christian has drafted a response to CC Gardner Gleser at the <\/span>Satterberg Foundation<\/span><\/a>, outlining four potential funding directions. Hope to get that out this coming week.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nAnother WESTAF crew got a tour of <\/span>the Alliance Center<\/span><\/a> this past weekend, and got to spend some time together in-person. <\/span>Here are some photos<\/span><\/a> of our space and the get-together afterwards!<\/span><\/p>\n
\nWESTAF attended the Regional Arts Representation for Island Territories meeting organized by the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA) in September 2019. This meeting drummed up enthusiasm to explore and create a way to connect Pacific Island Territories and WESTAF. Historically, American Samoa, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and Guam (Pacific Territories) have lacked representation as a region within the US arts sector and have been excluded from national conversations surrounding art advocacy. Continuing from talks and conversations pre-pandemic,<\/span> WESTAF has taken recent measures<\/span><\/a> to holistically develop next steps and programs <\/span>with<\/span><\/i> Pacific Territories to create a partnership that includes Pacific values, culture, and priorities. Although the details of the collaboration are very loose, WESTAF seeks to expand networks to the artists and arts organizations of the Pacific territories and offer resources.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nThe MarComm team recently launched its Q4 CaF\u00c9 marketing campaign, which includes an email drip campaign to a targeted list of local arts councils and agencies, as well as paid social media ads and Google Ads that will run through the end of September. On Friday, we opened <\/span>registration<\/span><\/a> for our 2021 Creative Vitality\u2122 Summit and launched the initial version of our <\/span>event site<\/span><\/a> on the Aventri platform and have already received an overwhelming number of registrations. The team is also preparing for FY22, beginning to draft the marketing plans for WESTAF\u2019s technology products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nL'\u00e9quipe a \u00e9galement commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 r\u00e9diger le plan directeur de communication pour l'exercice 22, qui comprend les communications en cours de WESTAF (telles que WESTAF Now), les conf\u00e9rences et salons professionnels (tels que la convention annuelle Americans for the Arts), les r\u00e9unions organis\u00e9es par WESTAF et les plans de communication pr\u00e9liminaires pour les programmes et services relevant des divisions Responsabilit\u00e9 sociale et inclusion (SRI) et Alliances, plaidoyer et politique (AAP). L'\u00e9quipe compile actuellement le contenu du WESTAF Now d'ao\u00fbt, avec l'intention de partager la newsletter le 18 ao\u00fbt, ainsi que de travailler sur les d\u00e9tails de la r\u00e9union en personne du conseil d'administration d'octobre \u00e0 Denver et sur certains \u00e9l\u00e9ments de la retraite de l'\u00e9quipe de ressources de leadership \u00e0 Colorado Springs. Alors que les inscriptions au Creative Vitality\u2122 Summit battent leur plein, l'\u00e9quipe a \u00e9galement r\u00e9pondu et recueilli les commentaires des inscrits. Cette semaine, l'\u00e9quipe MarComm tiendra sa premi\u00e8re retraite annuelle, dont une partie comprendra une session anim\u00e9e par Valerie Atkin, qui travaille avec le personnel de WESTAF et diverses \u00e9quipes depuis mai 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nLa cohorte de communication s'est r\u00e9unie pour sa r\u00e9union mensuelle le 29 juillet, o\u00f9 elle a discut\u00e9 de son projet actuel de compilation du rapport de d\u00e9couverte. Elle a \u00e9tabli un calendrier pour que le projet se d\u00e9roule jusqu'\u00e0 la r\u00e9union du conseil d'administration et pr\u00e9voit d'inviter ses conseillers du conseil \u00e0 examiner et \u00e0 critiquer la premi\u00e8re \u00e9bauche du rapport. La cohorte politique a distribu\u00e9 l'enqu\u00eate sur le manuel des partenaires r\u00e9gionaux \u00e0 24 contacts dans des agences d'art d'\u00c9tat et des organisations de d\u00e9fense de l'art d'\u00c9tat. L'\u00e9tape suivante consiste \u00e0 d\u00e9cortiquer les commentaires et \u00e0 utiliser les informations pour planifier le d\u00e9veloppement du projet. Entre-temps, la cohorte a r\u00e9fl\u00e9chi \u00e0 des id\u00e9es d'ateliers et \u00e0 des animateurs possibles pour la r\u00e9union d'octobre. Leur prochaine r\u00e9union est pr\u00e9vue plus tard en ao\u00fbt. Les dirigeants de la cohorte se r\u00e9uniront le lundi 16 ao\u00fbt 2021 pour un d\u00e9jeuner de travail. Le lieu n'a pas encore \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9termin\u00e9. Le groupe esp\u00e8re d\u00e9terminer les ateliers pour la r\u00e9union annuelle en octobre.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nChristina submitted the second draft of the business and technology budgets for FY22. She also has plans to begin work with Leah and the MarComm team to create a series of standardized templates for each product\u2019s sales kit now that the unique selling propositions are almost finalized. Business is also working through the technology team transition, identifying gaps in our resources and items that need to be prioritized, which also led to the creation of <\/span>a new tech priority process<\/span><\/a>. We recently launched a search for a DevOps System Administrator, and we hope to begin interviews in the next couple of weeks. We also had PHP and MySQL updated, important security maintenance items for ZAPP, CaFE, and GO Smart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nThe CaFE team is proud to say we\u2019ve launched our new CaFE admin UI! The CaFE team, business and tech teams all put in countless hours of work to make this happen, and while we still have a few tweaks and improvements to make in the coming weeks and months, we have received positive feedback and are happy with the updates. <\/span>Read more about what\u2019s new in the latest CaFE blog<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nCVSuite a vendu une nouvelle licence \u00e0 TRIPTK, l\u2019agence de marketing new-yorkaise que nous avons mentionn\u00e9e dans notre derni\u00e8re mise \u00e0 jour. L\u2019organisation a contact\u00e9 CVS alors qu\u2019elle travaillait sur une analyse de l\u2019\u00e9conomie cr\u00e9ative pour un client du secteur priv\u00e9 non divulgu\u00e9. Wyoming Arts Alliance a renouvel\u00e9 son contrat et est en pourparlers avec l\u2019\u00e9quipe CVS pour organiser des ateliers de formation aux donn\u00e9es pour son projet pilote de villes cr\u00e9atives. Kelly a pris contact avec Christy Costello de CCI au sujet du Creative Districts Summit, o\u00f9 CVSuite a confirm\u00e9 qu\u2019elle parrainerait et animerait un d\u00e9jeuner sur le th\u00e8me de l\u2019utilisation des donn\u00e9es et de l\u2019\u00e9conomie cr\u00e9ative, en plus de notre pr\u00e9sentation pour les districts lors de la pr\u00e9conf\u00e9rence. L\u2019\u00e9quipe a \u00e9t\u00e9 mise en contact avec deux districts cr\u00e9atifs (Durango et Colorado Springs) dont les \u00ab cas d\u2019utilisation \u00bb des donn\u00e9es seront pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s dans notre pr\u00e9sentation.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nGO Smart a re\u00e7u une mise \u00e0 niveau PHP 7.4 et les tests de l'\u00e9quipe ont montr\u00e9 une impl\u00e9mentation r\u00e9ussie. BRI a termin\u00e9 le travail initial sur un bug qui fausse les donn\u00e9es NEA sur un rapport personnalis\u00e9 et nous attendons la publication de ce correctif. Jessica a propos\u00e9 une d\u00e9monstration \u00e0 la Fondation Gottlieb apr\u00e8s que Ken nous ait recommand\u00e9 comme alternative \u00e0 CaFE. Il s'agit de la troisi\u00e8me d\u00e9monstration ce mois-ci, une \u00e9norme augmentation de l'activit\u00e9 de ventes entrantes. Jessica a cr\u00e9\u00e9 une proposition de vente unique et est ravie de commencer \u00e0 l'utiliser dans les nouveaux supports de vente GO Smart. Nous avons recueilli trois t\u00e9moignages de clients \u00e0 ajouter \u00e0 notre site de vente. La construction intense s'est poursuivie pour la refonte du rapport final de Miami Beach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nPAA a termin\u00e9 la publication des correctifs et am\u00e9liorations finales qui incluent une option de recherche par date, des liens vers les sites Web des collections et des propri\u00e9taires, ainsi que quelques corrections de bugs mineurs qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 identifi\u00e9es lors de la version pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente. PAA a termin\u00e9 l'importation de plus de 3 200 images des 35 ans d'histoire de Mural Arts Philadelphia, r\u00e9concili\u00e9es \u00e0 partir d'une base de donn\u00e9es FileMakerPro h\u00e9rit\u00e9e. Cela ach\u00e8ve la plus grande migration d'images que l'\u00e9quipe ait effectu\u00e9e depuis la migration de la base de donn\u00e9es PAA elle-m\u00eame. La publicit\u00e9 Powtoon actuelle de PAA qui pr\u00e9sente les nouvelles applications sp\u00e9cifiques \u00e0 la collection fonctionne bien et continuera d'\u00eatre distribu\u00e9e en ligne tout au long du mois d'ao\u00fbt.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nThe ZAPP team has been in full \u201ctraining mode\u201d as we work to teach our internal processes and site to our newest team members Tim, Sara, and Raymond! Additionally, we recently entered a sponsorship with <\/span>The Independent Artist Podcast<\/span><\/a> for the next couple of months. This podcast is hosted by artists Douglas Sigwarth and Will Armstrong and explores the struggles and successes of being festival artists. We are excited to be a part of a group that is bridging the industry for admins and artists. Another highlight for us was that our quarterly newsletter written by Julia was shared, in part, by ArtfairInsiders, a reputable industry website! You can find that blog <\/span>ICI<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
