For the past 10 years, WESTAF has been investing in and promoting representative leadership and equity in the cultural sector through the professional development of rising BIPOC leaders across the western region. So of course we were really looking forward to kicking off our new partnership with South Arts<\/a> to launch the region\u2019s inaugural Emerging Leaders of Color (ELC) program in July, followed by the tenth convening for leaders of color in the western region in the fall. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we decided not to hold in-person gatherings for the ELC program in both the South Arts and WESTAF regions. To help make moving to an online format as successful as possible, the Social Responsibility and Inclusion team has enlisted the expertise of longtime ELC faculty member Salvador Acevedo, managing partner at\u00a0Scansion<\/a>, to help us adapt the program to a remote learning environment. We\u2019re excited to connect with leaders of color from the West and the South in this revised format in late 2020 and in spring 2021.<\/span><\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Since March, WESTAF has focused much of its work on supporting and empowering the field during the COVID-19 pandemic, including gathering resources to support artists and organizations<\/a> experiencing disruption and providing\u00a0a variety of COVID-19 impact reports. To offer the field a little (much needed!) good news, we reached out to our colleagues in the West to ask them to share any stories of\u00a0success in overcoming the obstacles of our current pandemic climate as well as advances in their pursuit of cultural inclusion and equity. These\u00a0Stories of Resilience\u00a0showcase the ways artists, activists, and advocates in the region are addressing current and ongoing challenges, such as new programming, activism in the community, volunteerism, and other successful efforts that deserve recognition.

In other silver linings, the state of Oregon recently approved a$50 million relief package<\/a>for Oregon culture that includes $25,984,872 to Business Oregon for statewide distribution to cultural organizations by the Oregon Cultural Trust. Over $14 million in additional appropriations were made to specific arts and cultural organizations and nearly $10 million allocated to the Independent Venue Coalition in support of 78 independent venues across the state. With the recent $16.5 million allocation of state relief funds to the Utah Division of Arts and Museums and the$2 million state relief funds allocation to the Arizona Commission on the Arts<\/a>, the total in state-directed relief funds directly supporting arts and culture has risen to $68.5 million across the region. The Utah Division of Arts and Museums\u2019\u00a0Create in Utah<\/a>program is in the process of disbursing the initial $9 million relief package and a recent refill of $7.5 million in the form of grants to arts organizations with programs that boost tourism and help local economies recover. The Arizona Commission on the Arts is in the process of developing a program to disburse state relief funds. All three 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. Arts advocacy organizations Arizona Citizens for the Arts, Cultural Advocacy Coalition (Oregon), and Utah Cultural Alliance have also been instrumental in galvanizing the gubernatorial, legislative, and grassroots engagement needed to achieve these significant victories for the arts and culture sectors in these states.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Since mid-March, ZAPP has played a central role in rallying and supporting America\u2019s community of art fairs and festivals as it confronts multiple cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As some events transition from in-person to digital, allowing potential buyers to view work and purchase from artists online, ZAPP has focused on several enhancements to the site that will make the process of collecting applications for 2021 easier for administrators. ZAPP has also improved the transparency of the application process for artists who need to make strategic decisions about the festivals they apply to in the future. To help events adapt more easily during this time of transition, the ZAPP team will also begin working on a virtual artist gallery to complement the return of in-person fairs in 2021.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”5″][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default” custom_height=”20″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”5″][vc_column_text]\"CaF\u00c9<\/a>CaF\u00c9<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

With many arts funders offering unexpected relief funding to artists and arts organizations in their communities due to COVID-19, it\u2019s no big surprise that GO Smart has experienced an uptick in activity. Many GO Smart clients have been affected financially by the pandemic, but they have embraced opportunities to find new and creative ways to inject funding into the arts through COVID-19 recovery and relief programs. Since March, GO Smart has helped 15 organizations launch 19 COVID-19 relief programs to meet the needs of the field quickly.

Perhaps our favorite piece of good news is that this spring, WESTAF released its first installment of the Creative Vitality List<\/a>, a new series of data-driven profiles that celebrate the arts, culture, and creativity of America\u2019s most vital and vibrant places and spaces. To create these lists, CVSuite utilized its economic impact data to identify communities with a high number of creative industries and artists. The stories of these communities help demonstrate how the arts and culture sector strengthens local economies and attracts visitors, businesses, and new residents while sustainably developing neighborhoods, encouraging equity and inclusivity, and minting new generations of creative problem solvers working at the nexus of art, business, and technology. With our kickoff list of the\u00a0Top 30 Most Creative Small Cities<\/a>, we chose to look beyond the usual suspects like New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, and Austin, to discover places off the beaten path. While we weren\u2019t surprised to see Santa Fe, New Mexico at the top of the list, we loved that cities like Medford, Oregon; Kingston, New York; and Iowa City, Iowa also made the cut. We are currently working on our second list and are again pleasantly surprised by what we\u2019re discovering about creative cities across the country. We can\u2019t wait to share it with you! Look for our next Creative Vitality list to drop this fall.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The cohorts continue to meet (virtually!) and have folded projects in response to COVID-19 into their existing initiatives, which are based on scoping documents they created early on to inform their work and goals. Most recently, the cohorts have connected with trustee advisors to deepen staff and trustee relationships and tap into the vast and diverse expertise of the board. As the next fiscal year approaches, the cohorts are looking ahead\u2014with the help of their trustee advisors\u2014to identify the progress they would like to see in 2021, as well as which projects will be prioritized over the remainder of this year and into the next. <\/span><\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Hopefully you already heard that WESTAF and its five sisterRegional Arts Organizations<\/a>(RAOs) have partnered with the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation on a new relief grant to support arts organizations in the 13-state western region. The $10 million Regional Arts Resilience Fund is a first-of-its-kind relief and recovery grant to each of the six US RAOs and is designed to help mitigate the financial threat to the sector caused by the COVID-19 pandemic by supporting small- and mid-sized arts organizations of all artistic disciplines in rural and urban areas that are regarded by their peers as having statewide, regional, or national impact. Through the WESTAF Regional Arts Resilience Fund<\/a>, WESTAF will administer the re-granting of over $1.7 million through approximately 30-40 awards ranging from $30,000 to $75,000, with a few exceptional $100,000 grants. In alignment with WESTAF\u2019s strategic vision for increasing opportunities, benefits, and resources for historically underrepresented communities in a manner that results in quantifiable and systemic change, the fund will support organizations led by and\/or predominantly serving individuals from historically marginalized communities that identify as: Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC); low-income, people with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ and\/or rural, remote, and under-resourced. Initial nominations were accepted through July 31, 2020 and select organizations were invited to submit full applications in mid-August.

[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]Arts Across America<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"We are excited to be partnering with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as it showcases artists from communities and regions across the country. In this extraordinary time of uncertainty due to a global pandemic, and as the nation faces its history of systemic racism and oppression, celebrating all who contribute to the culture of the US becomes paramount to addressing inequity and ensuring the livelihood of our artists and art forms. Through Arts Across America<\/a>, the Kennedy Center seeks to utilize its digital platforms to connect and uplift the stories and art of communities from across the country, while also providing much needed support to artists. Arts Across America performances feature visionary culture curators, artists, and workers using their power and agency to transform their community, and thus, the world. This is as much a celebration of the community that surrounds the artist as it is about the art itself.<\/span><\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
