WESTAF FA'ATA'ITA'I TULAFONO O LE HR 133 TULAFONO FA'AVAE FA'AVAE, 2021 (TES. 21, 2020) MA FA'ATUNUU I LE STATE ARTS AGENCY MA STATE ARTS ADVOCACY NETWORKS (DH)<\/b><\/h2>\n

On December 23, WESTAF released a <\/span>briefing <\/span><\/a>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

CVSUITE & NASAA GALUEGA TAMA'IGA MA LE TOE FA'AI'UINA MA E FA'A'A'U IA I'A I LE FA'AALIGA A US CHAMBER OF COMMERCE I LE VAIASO NEI (DH)<\/b><\/h2>\n

The CVSuite team finalized the Creative Economy and Recovery report being produced in collaboration with NASAA (a paid contract), which will be provisionally released on Monday, January 18, 2020 following a US Chamber of Commerce, NASAA, Americans for the Arts, and National Endowment for the Arts event,<\/span> Starring Role: Arts and Entertainment in the Pandemic Era<\/span><\/a>. 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

O LE VAEGA O TUSI A LE WESTAF E FA'AVAE $85 MILIONA E O'O MAI I LE ASO NEI I TUPE TOTONU A LE SETETE I LE VAEGA O TUFAGA MA AGANUU I SISIFO (DH)<\/b><\/h2>\n

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>$50 miliona pusa fesoasoani mo le aganuu a Oregon<\/span><\/a>, a $19.5 million allocation of state relief funds to the Utah Division of Arts and Museums through the <\/span>Fausia i Iuta polokalame<\/span><\/a>, o le<\/span> $2 miliona tupe fesoasoani a le setete o lo'o tu'uina atu i le Komisi o Fa'ata'ita'i a Arizona<\/span><\/a>, o le <\/span>$3.4 miliona fesoasoani fesoasoani na tuuina atu e le Washington State Arts Commission ma le Washington State Department of Commerce<\/span><\/a>, o le <\/span>$7.5 million in state relief funding recently awarded to Colorado Creative Industries<\/span><\/a>, o le <\/span>$2.4 million the Wyoming Arts Council received from the Wyoming Governor’s Office through the CARES Act for arts and cultural relief<\/span><\/a>. O le Ofisa o le Kovana o Nevada mo le Atina\u02bbeina o le Tamaoaiga na fa\u02bbaalu tupe fesoasoani mo fa\u02bbama\u02bbi i fa\u02bbalapotopotoga o faatufugaga ma aganu\u02bbu (ma isi pisinisi e le o ni polofiti ma pisinisi) e ala i le $40 miliona. <\/span>Pandemic Emergency Technical Support (PETS) polokalame fesoasoani<\/span><\/a> and partnered with the Nevada Arts Council to offer technical assistance. 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’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

The team continues to make updates to the WESTAF website, including a brand new Technology page and a reformatted and more navigable News page, both scheduled to go live in January. It is also wrapping up work on the Leaders of Color website, now scheduled to launch in February. In tech product marketing, the team recently launched a brand new <\/span>Fa'atulaga se Fa'aaliga<\/span><\/a> page on the GO Smart sales site and launched its first GO Smart marketing campaign for the fiscal year, an email campaign to a targeted list of grant makers based on our product personas. The team is also currently working on segmenting a list of over 2,800 potentials for CaFE that contains up to four CaFE personas, including its first target: gallery directors. The team plans to launch the CaFE Galleries campaign via email and social media (with video ads) in late January. CVSuite also recently launched another campaign around its <\/span>Specialized Impact Reports<\/span><\/a> to a new marketing list, which so far has generated eight leads. The team submitted content for the January National Endowment for the Arts Newsletter and is currently working on the February edition of <\/span>WESTAF Now<\/span><\/i>. In meeting and event planning, with Natalie Scherlong\u2019s great work, the team has selected an online event management software (<\/span>Aventr<\/span><\/a>i), which it will debut at the 2021 Arts Leadership and Advocacy Seminar scheduled for late February. The MarComm team (+Natalie) is working on a plan to onboard the convenings team onto Aventri and will begin building out a registration page (and then a more expanded site) for ALAS ’21. Kelly Ernst (honorary MarComm team member!) has stepped in to help design the ArtX logo, which she has been working on with feedback from the ArtX committee.

PAA team has just contracted a new development term to re-build the existing search and explore functionality in the next seven weeks. New development will include the ability to sort within particular search results categories which will greatly improve the user experience. PAA is looking to finalize the sale of the CMS to three potential clients in January. In addition, PAA recently built and launched a new <\/span>Popular Searches<\/span><\/a> page to help direct users to PAA content.<\/span><\/p>\n

ZAPP (CV)<\/b><\/h2>\n

Thanks to the great work led by Julia and Natalie V., ZAPP launched a <\/span>new sales site<\/span><\/a> at the end of December. 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
