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

\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

\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

\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.

\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!

\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>\u3053\u3053<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
