Aloha kaiaulu WESTAF:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another fortnight chockablock with super activity. Just below, you\u2019ll learn more about the launch of our anticipated new RAO-led <\/span>N\u0101 alaka\u02bbi o ke kala kala<\/span><\/a>\u2014it\u2019s really happening, folks! Once a dream, now an emerging reality, the LoCF will expand the reach and potential of WESTAF\u2019s original ELC curriculum, newly updated and revised for a national fellowship of participants in this acclaimed program. Kudos to Jade Elyssa, Anika, and the whole LoCF team of designers and faculty for moving this forward. Also, great committee progress on the BIPOC Artist Grant Program as well as the State Arts Agency Innovation Fund (SAAIF) both readying for launches. Meanwhile, budget owners and the finance team have been crunching the numbers for a first solid draft of the WESTAF FY23 operating budget, which will be reviewed by the executive committee in September and ratified by the board at our October annual meeting. Things are still in flux for the next few weeks as we reach our budget balancing point, but so far roughly one-third of our FY23 budget will be earmarked for direct grants and subgrants to artists and arts organizations in the WESTAF region. This is a (r)evolution for WESTAF, and we\u2019re thrilled by the prospect, even though it\u2019s a lot of work. Thanks to everyone in the WESTAFiverse for making it happen! Let\u2019s get to it, shall we:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n E WEHE ANA NA ALAKAI LAHUI O WESTAF NO NA PALAPALA (JEC\/AK)<\/b><\/p>\n Ua wehe \u02bbia k\u0101 m\u0101kou noi National Leaders of Color Fellowship (LoCF) ma \u02bbAukake 1.

The respective RAO points of contact are diligently preparing and soliciting panelists to review applications; WESTAF projects receiving over 500 applications. The core planning team is on track to finalize the curriculum within the context of a national format. WESTAF has partnered with alumni Alexandria Jimenez to revamp the Arts Lead website and prepare promotional materials in time for the application launch. The LoCF is a strategic leadership development program for Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) leaders in our region who are committed to the advancement of cultural equity in the arts. Using a cohort structure, the program has emphasized experiential learning, community building, and service to the field.

Supported by MacKenzie Scott\u2019s intention to <\/span>seed power by ceding power<\/span><\/a>, this grant provides resources to and for BIPOC artists living and working in the 16 states and jurisdictions in the WESTAF region in order to advance their own artistic practice and goals. Throughout July, the design team has cumulatively contributed 300+ hours into in-depth research of what has been done, co-visioning future possibilities, exploring avenues to create empowering inquiry, and grappling with how to accurately record key metrics that convey the depth of impact the artists have in their region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He \u02bboko\u02bba loa ka cohort ma ke \u02bbano o ka palapala honua, ka ho\u02bbopa\u02bbi no\u02bbeau, ka \u02bboihana, ka \u02bbike l\u0101hui, ka \u02bbike k\u0101ne k\u0101ne, a me ka pili kino k\u012bn\u0101.

This means that users can control when questions display on the application form based on previous answers. Artists can now use a link from their video or audio platform in place of uploading a file-based work sample. Also coming soon is the ability to zoom in\/out on images and expand the juror scorecard to fullscreen using the open-source <\/span>OpenSeadragon<\/span><\/a> code. We also will be releasing a template generator and scheduler for our e-blast service. New calls for entry added to CaF\u00c9 in FY22 are up 39% compared to the same period last year. We’re hoping to keep this momentum going into FY23. So far in August, CaF\u00c9 welcomed <\/span>The Canal Arts<\/span><\/a>, a coalition of 14 Marin County organizations using public art, murals specifically, to share the rich diversity of stories and experiences of Latino immigrants in Marin county and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n CVSUITE (KE)<\/b><\/p>\n Ua ho\u02bbopuka maika\u02bbi ka hui papahana WCESP i ka m\u0101hele \u02bbelua o ka papahana ak\u0101 ua loa\u02bba i\u0101 ia me ka ho\u02bbohuli wikiwiki \u02bbole \u02bbia no ka h\u014d\u02bbike makahiki a me ka helu k\u0101l\u0101, ma muli o ka pau \u02bbana o ka makahiki k\u0101l\u0101 o ka moku\u02bb\u0101ina.

First and foremost, we are happy to report the completion of the WESTAF Women\u2019s Suffrage Mural Project, now installed at the <\/span>Denver Public Library: Montbello Branch<\/span><\/a>. Please enjoy the <\/span>digital landing page<\/span><\/a> for the project (still in draft form while we await the Spanish translation the library will be providing us), and make sure you swing by if you are in Denver. We are in the final stages of the PAA Anniversary Map Project and plan to distribute the project later this month. We are working on an interactive map component on the project landing page. The PAA team, in collaboration with the business team, is making significant progress on the migration of the Public Art in Private Development database to the PAA network of resources, and we imagine that will launch at the end of the month also. Lastly, we are pleased to report that we are finalizing the design stages for the new PAA front end with tech development firm Bilberrry.

Day 1 focused on re-getting to know each other along with exercises around trust, conflict and safety, with Dat 2 really focused on planning the year ahead, including a first draft of our FY23 Initiatives, developed in concert with the Strategic plan and a close review and evaluation of our FY22 ones. It was a wonderful opportunity. Here\u2019s a wonderful trailing comment from someone on the team: <\/span>\u201c…I\u2019m grateful to have the opportunity to deepen our bonds and think critically about our work. Thanks for making the space feel safe and comfortable, even as we discussed challenging topics.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/i>We can\u2019t wait to share our findings and move forward in FY23 with our insights!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ALAILA KANAWAI FEDERAL: SENATE NO KA HO\u02bbonui NEA NO FY2023 (CG)<\/b><\/p>\n From Isaac Brown at the NEA<\/span><\/a>: Last week, the Senate Appropriations Committee released its draft interior appropriations bill, which includes funding for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). That bill proposes increasing funding for the agency by $15 million, for a total of $195 million. While this figure is lower than the figure approved by the House of Representatives, it is nonetheless an important statement of support for the Arts Endowment. With Congress set to go on recess soon, August is an excellent time to contact your senators, thank them for the proposed increase and encourage them to consider increasing their figure to match the House’s. In doing so, please reiterate that 40% of all grant funding allocated to the NEA goes directly to state arts agencies and regional arts organizations, and consequently, any additional increase in appropriations will benefit their states.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n NUI KAUKAU NO RICHARD EVANS O EMCARTS (CG)<\/b><\/p>\n Most of our SAA executive directors and some of our trustees might remember Richard Evans of EMCArts. Richard was with us at our last ED Forum in Reno, NV in 2019 just before the pandemic, where he led a powerful visioning and development session with the executive directors. Sad to report that Richard succumbed to cancer in April 2022. Importantly, EmcArts co-founder John McCann <\/span>recently announced<\/span><\/a> that as of July 2022 the assets and programs of EmcArts will be integrated into CultureSource, the Detroit-based nonprofit committed to the vitality of cultural organizations and communities across southeast Michigan. <\/span>CultureSource<\/span><\/a> is a wonderful organization, so this is a pleasing development.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n H\u0101\u02bbawi \u02bbia me ka mahalo.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Keristiano<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" August 8, 2022 Dear WESTAF community: Another fortnight chockablock with super activity.
