The workshop was offered in Rhinelander, Wisconsin in July 2008 with 10 communities in attendance, with 2-4 people in person teams from those communities. Maryo and Mike then offered the process and content to the CDCs and requested feedback in 2009 at the annual CDC retreat. As a result of feedback from the CDCs, it has been modified. These documents represent a do-it-yourself workshop that any CDC could plan and do in their state, drawing on local examples, local experts, and local facilitators. Maryo and Mike offer it to any CDC to freely use and/or modify as they see fit; please just credit us and the Wisconsin Arts Board. Let us know how it goes! Thanks for your interest, Maryo Ewell, CDC Colorado  HYPERLINK "mailto:maryo@gard-sibley.org" maryo@gard-sibley.org Important Observations This workshop provides both a strong philosophical context, some tangible tools, some opportunity to practice applying ideas in a case study, and time to plan how to apply the ideas back home. Included are: Most important, Document 1 is the agenda, annotated to show what documents correspond to what parts of the agenda, as well as the people you need to put on the show Some documents will be homework before people come: these are Document 2, 3 and 4 Some documents you will probably put in a packet (or comb binder to make it less messy) for all participants: Documents 1 (without the annotations), 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15. Note that some of these are worksheets that participants will use during the workshop, as well as a homework article for reading between day 1 and day 2. Document 16 is simply something additional you may request from me if you wish. The workshop assumes up to 10 communities, 2-4 people from each community (1 arts person plus up to 3 non-arts collaborators or potential collaborators local government, the Chamber of Commerce, a key business, a neighborhood organization, a social action group, etc.). While initially it was intended for small communities, it is suitable for urban neighborhoods, as well. We did this workshop in 2 consecutive days. However, it could be designed to be two one-day workshops a month apart with a homework assignment between (that you would design to fit). The facilitator(s) is key. Maybe its you, maybe its someone else. Most important, for these materials to make sense, is that the facilitator buy into the philosophical concepts of the workshop. Were trying to teach a way of thinking about things, not just how to use tools. The philosophical keys lie in Document 3 (50 Tips), 6 (Goals, Assumptions, Methods), 12 (Our Community questions) and 13 (Community Arts & Community Strengthening). The Textbook is The Arts in the Small Community, 2006. It is available for $10 (includes postage) from  HYPERLINK "mailto:maryo@gard-sibley.org" maryo@gard-sibley.org or you/participants can download it free from  HYPERLINK "http://www.gardfoundation.org" www.gardfoundation.org (click on Arts in the Small Communities tab). Although the title includes Small Communities, field-testing and feedback from urban areas tells us that its just as relevant to urban neighborhoods. When people signed up, we e mailed everyone and asked each person to answer 5 questions. We also called the arts person from each community to get a little better background on the existing arts situation in their community which helped us prep and think about good examples to use during the workshop. Homework for participants before they come is: to read 50 Tips, 50 Years to read How To Analyze A Case Study to answer an e-mail questionnaire which is included in these document by at least 10 days before the workshop Document #6 is the heart of the workshop. The facilitators need to totally buy into these ideas for the workshop to be successful. Document #7 shows you what is in the Arts in the Small Community book. It is not that long (140 pages) and is set up to be a do-it-yourself workbook that people can use in their own communities when they get back home, as well as a text for this workshop. Document #8 is a sample of one of the 19 topics sections in the book. These two items should help you get a better sense of the orientation of the workshop. Depending on who your local presenters are, you may wish to use their particular topic area instead of this one, in the handout packet. Document #16 is a table of contents of a book of reference readings we put together and gave everyone as they left. If you want to see the book of readings itself, e mail  HYPERLINK "mailto:maryo@gard-sibley.org" maryo@gard-sibley.org and I will make you a copy. Please know that these are all copyright materials and please reference copyright law if you wish to use these for educational purposes. Document #13 was a talk given by Maryo in Michigan, and includes some community arts history not only the history of the arts council as an institution, but it references some important community arts development work done in America. It is incomplete it doesnt address important programs such as the WPA, CETA, etc but stories were chosen because of their relevance to this workshop. OK now its yours!

(Note: Americans for the Arts published a slightly modified version of this article as a Monograph in December, 2009,  HYPERLINK "http://images.magnetmail.net/images/clients/ArtsUSA/attach/Monograph_December.pdf" http://images.magnetmail.net/images/clients/ArtsUSA/attach/Monograph_December.pdf This Monograph is an example of a member benefit in Americans for the Arts.) EFFECTIVE COMMUNITY ARTS DEVELOPMENT: Fifty Years, Fifty Tips Maryo Gard Ewell June, 2009 In 1960, Community Arts Councils, Inc, (CACI) was founded in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The first community arts councils in America , in Winston-Salem, NC and in Quincy, IL ,had been created during the late 1940s, and community and provincial arts councils from the United States and Canada had been convening as a group since 1955 within the American Symphony Orchestra League conference. This led to the formation of CACI in 1960. CACI was the ancestor of todays Americans for the Arts, and as Americans for the Arts looks ahead to its fiftieth birthday in 2010 it is fitting to step back for a moment and reflect upon what we have learned. The Wisconsin Arts Board (WAB) did that in 2006. To celebrate its thirty-fifth birthday, the WAB took a look at a seminal rural arts development program, The Arts in the Small Community Project, that took place in the late 1960s as a result of the first access grant funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. It was clear thirty-five years later that this bold endeavor had had a long term effect on the cultures of the five communities involved. Interviews conducted with elderly artists who had lived in those towns for decades, the collection of written materials, and a survey done in 1973 and replicated in 2005, all formed the basis for this reflection. A team including one of the original 1966-69 Wisconsin project directors, the interviewer, and six arts administrators articulated lessons learned from all of this material. These serve as a basis for this monograph as do interviews with some of the community arts fields early practitioners. It is important to briefly describe the Wisconsin project because it embodies one of two quite different approaches to arts development. Of course, these approaches overlap and no program is purely one or the other. To simplify them, they are: Outreach/exposure/access. In this approach, the arts administrator seeks ways for people of all backgrounds and means to be touched by the arts by being in the audiences for arts programs and events of high quality. The words of John D. Rockefeller III exemplify this perspective: The arts are not for a privileged few but for the many their place is not on the periphery of society but at its center. Still, describing the work of the 1965 Rockefeller Panel on the Performing Arts, Michael Straight concluded that the Rockefeller Panel held that the arts were for the many but could not be entrusted to the many." Community development. Robert Gard, who spearheaded the Arts in the Small Community Project, wrote that: In terms of American democracy, the arts are for everyone.As America emerges into a different understanding of her strength, it becomes clear that her strength is in the people and in the places where the people live. The people, if shown the way, can create art in and of themselves. Both perspectives hold that the arts are for everyone, but in the latter the control of the arts and their creation is ultimately in the hands of local people. The Wisconsin project embodied the second approach. The idea was not new, especially in Wisconsin, where in 1936 the College of Agriculture broke ground in the arts when Dean Chris Christensen conceived of an artist-in-residence position for the College of Agriculture. What was new was that the project was a three-year social experiment in five rural towns which were deemed to have little or no arts activity. The steps were: A prominent local person an Extension agent for instance called an open community meeting to talk about the arts. The staff of the Office of Community Arts Development at the University of Wisconsin College of Agriculture attended this meeting to hear what people wanted. They asked the people what they would like to see in their community. Local wishes ranged from opera performance to textile exhibits. The staff then worked to make these things happen, arranging for touring groups or artists from the University to visit the community. Meanwhile, community citizen teams were formed to create local arts councils, springing from the interests and needs of that community. For instance, one emerged from local environmental concern and activism. Another emerged from local economic development efforts. Each local council developed a program of activities that complemented the outside experiences they had requested. These included forming informal organizations such as writers groups and local community theaters, offering instruction to young people and adults, stimulating youth arts councils to produce activities that young people would find cool. We may not think of these things as revolutionary today, but they were, in 1967. Indeed, they were so revolutionary that the First Lady, Mrs. Lyndon Johnson, visited one of the communities to experience some of its showcased events, and the handbook that resulted from the project The Arts in the Small Community: A National Plan - went on to become the bible for emerging community arts councils throughout America. Many years later, in 2006, we asked the question What have we learned? Surveys and interviews showed that the project seems to have made a lasting difference in the five test communities. Analyzing all of the interview and survey material, we identified fifty things that might have made this difference happen. Do you want to make a difference in your community fifty years from now? START WITH A BIG IDEA 1. If would-be arts developers aspire to enable more art for more people they are thinking too small. That is an idea for arts people. There must be an idea, a philosophy, about all people and the way that people can live, and live together. The goal is a human community, not merely an arts community. 2. The philosophy must simultaneously imagine an evolution of the arts and an evolution of the community and its many systems. Just having more arts available will not necessarily make the community a better place to live. Arts developers should articulate a thrilling vision of what a meaningful, healthy community for all people could be, and how the arts can help make it so. This is what we mean by Community Arts Development. It is typically spearheaded by an entity originally known as a community arts council or a local arts agency. The right term for such a group is still evolving, although for simplicity's sake, we'll use the term community arts council in this monograph). In 1969 Robert Gard said, One of the first principles of community arts councils should be the assumption that they are and should be an instrument of social change affecting change in both the arts and community life in general...they should be experimental...in order to develop a community of creative abundance. 3. Democracy is perhaps the biggest idea in America. Why not ground arts development work in furthering democracy? This is, after all, what all people living in America have in common, their commitment to democracy. This can mean three distinct things, and all are important: Creating more access to the arts. This is what most people think of, and it is the more arts for more people idea. Enabling all people to participate in art-making that is based in their own personal story, world-view, vision, and culture. Using the arts to raise important questions, and engaging people in dialogue about them. 4. Community development includes economic development, agriculture, natural resource conservation, transportation, housing, health, social justice movements, and more. The effective arts developer will partner with some or all of these efforts, for goals will overlap. 5. Community development is a process based on an assumption of local wisdom and an assumption that most of the resources needed to get something done are right there in the community. EXERCISE LEADERSHIP 6. Effective community arts developers share a profound commitment to all of the people in their community and an interest in their stories. 7. They share a belief in the inherent creativity of the people in their community. 8. They share an enthusiastic awareness that this creativity may lead to something other than art as they know it. 9. They share an understanding that they aren't leading people to art. Rather, they are bearing witness to the creativity of their neighbors. 10. They are trying to change the prepositions, from arts for people to arts of and with people. 11. Arts developers are in it for the long run. They walk with the great arts and community visionaries who have come before them. 12. Arts developers are in it for the long run. They walk with the great arts and community visionaries who will come after them. 13. At the same time, they need to survive to be effective in the short run. They cultivate an understanding of the unique psychology of their place and a curiosity about the best way to work successfully within and with their local community process. 14. Effective arts developers share a slogan: Inquiry and experimentation! 15. Arts developers joyously claim the full range of community endeavor, caring little or not at all whether activities are done by for-profit groups, non-profit groups, individuals, or informal gatherings of people in church choirs or high school bands. 16. Arts developers instinctively see restaurants and fields as stages, snowboarding as choreography, advertising as poetry, birthday parties as theater. If its creative, if it aspires to excellence then its part of the world that they claim. 17. Effective arts developers are always asking themselves, How can I use this situation? How can this person fit in? 18. Effective community arts leaders recognize the many instances of them and us in the community. Artists and non-artists. English-speakers and non-English-speakers. Oldtimers and newcomers. Young and old. People with their world-view and people with another world view. Effective arts developers ask, How can these groups be brought together? The articulate, neighborly sharing of excellence in art is what a community arts council is about. 19. Community arts leaders understand that the creative resources that are needed are probably right at home. Thus they know that while some of their work involves coaching, the bulk of their work involves uncovering latent creativity and encouraging it to flourish. 20. Arts developers nurture others: by sharing power, even though they know that by giving power away, the arts and the arts institutions as they know them may be changed. by identifying and working with the leaders among the next generation, ethnic and cultural groups, the elderly, newcomers, residents of housing developments, business groups, religious groups, and others. 21. Arts developers challenge others: by providing settings in which people who dont feel that they are creative can express their creativity. by insisting that their neighbors live up to their creative potential. 22. Effective leaders may be simultaneously insiders and outsiders. They accept this even if it makes them uncomfortable. Some outsiders have lived in the community for years and years. Some insiders may not have lived there very long. The question is not one of longevity so much as of perspective. Leaders know that it is important to cultivate both roles and to be conscious of which role they are playing at a given time. And they know that it is important to put aside any longing to play just one role, insider or outsider, because theyre at their most effective when they can play both. As insiders, they know how things work and who makes things work, and they are reputable and broadly trusted. 24. As outsiders, they can compare their community to others. They are not parochial. They are alert to what is happening culturally in the state or the nation. They are constantly thinking about how to bring new ideas home. Sometimes it's in the outsider role that leaders find adrenaline and the courage to carry on. In the outsider role, leaders see more clearly unrealized possibilities in the community and can identify new resources to get things done. Outsiders can sometimes pose questions that insiders cannot. They can bring in new language. They may be more likely to notice the stories that a community tells about itself. Are they stories of successfully overcoming odds? Or are they about being worn down by outside forces? These stories may give the leader clues about developing a plan for gathering the resources needed. 25. Community arts leaders are not only arts people. In fact, sometimes the longest-lasting creative leadership comes from someone who thinks of herself as an economic development specialist or thinks of himself as an environmental activist. 26. Leadership is not just visible activity, and it certainly is not management, although some leaders are also effective managers. Effective community arts developers are people who lead by listening and asking questions, people who lead by encouraging others, people who are willing to spearhead a risky idea, people who seem to know everyone. 27. Successful leaders know and participate in many community systems and groups. This enables them to understand the multi-faceted realities of how their community works. 28. The breadth of the ideas of effective community arts developers may threaten some who consider a passion for the arts as a way of distinguishing some people from others, rather than a passion for the arts as the basis of discovering common humanity. Effective community arts developers are not defensive about their perspective. 29. Effective community arts developers are passionate about the place where they live. MERGE CREATIVITY, EXCELLENCE, AND COMMUNITY 30. A community arts development approach transcends singing or painting. The community arts developer sees no conflict between process and product, between quality and broad participation. In the synthesis of good community process, some technical coaching, and each person's creative outlook on the world lies the potential for exciting art. 31. There is a vast and noticeable difference between letting a thousand flowers bloom and permitting everything to come up in weeds. There must be standards of excellence, but the community may be inventing an excellence that is its own, marrying the flavor of the place with the freshness of local people's ideas and visions. 32. Articulating quality begins with a profound respect for the people. 33. The professional artist who is also a community arts developer plays the role of coach, not teacher. 34. Participating in art-making enables a person to be a more judicious and open audience member. 35. The words art, ideas, and creative activity could someday become synonyms. Why not now? 36. Someone in a small Wisconsin town said: We don't think of our Sand County Players as art. It's just what we do. Isnt that what we most aspire to? 37. There is no single arts scene. Many can co-exist. Each should support the others. 38. We may need to help find ways that people can talk about the arts. Most often, when we are talking to one another or writing for the newspaper, we simply describe what we see and leave it at that. We need to ask if there is a way to move beyond description into conversation that includes opinions about both the art and the ideas that the art is leading us to. 39. Locally-made art can grow from local history or from the stories of people who live in a place or from metaphors about the meaning of living in that place. 40. The arts council considers local resources. Are there no choreographers in town for the musical youd like to write about the history of the town? Perhaps there are retired professional ice-dancers living there. No composers in town? Probably there are garage rock bands who write their own songs. No set designers? What about the graphics designer for the advertising agency? Engaging the non-traditional artist in the community arts development process may lead to art products that are fresh and exciting. 41. Labeling activity as fine, folk or community arts is irrelevant. What matters is that it be joyous and sincere, grounded in a commitment to excellence and challenge. CONSIDER STRUCTURE AND INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES 42. The old style arts council includes artists, art lovers, representatives of arts organizations, and perhaps representatives of the business community or the media. A community arts development action group includes arts organizations and artists, but also people representing those other important community concerns where the arts can make a difference: an environmental activist, someone from the nearby military base, someone from the hospital. 43. The mission need not be strictly an arts mission, but rather, a broader community mission. One leader said, to paraphrase: Land is bigger than the arts. It's love for the land that we all have in common here, and that made the arts stick because we connected the arts with something bigger. 44. The group can be non-profit or for-profit, tax-exempt or not, part of another agency, completely informal, or even intentionally temporary, depending on what makes local sense. In one small Wisconsin town, the theater group does not have nonprofit status, does not aspire to a facility of its own, does not seek grants, is not in the data base of the state arts council, and does not keep its income. Instead, the group gives it to other deserving groups in town. Yet in a survey, 83.3% of the people knew about the theaters performances, an almost unprecedented awareness of local arts activity. 45. The structure should be flexible and loose enough to maximize creative exploration and avoid institutionalization. By institutionalization I mean creating a structure whose maintenance could ultimately take priority over the original stated purpose. 46. The service area can be organic. It need not be a municipality. It could be a planning region, a local telephone calling area, a watershed. 47. The arts council should pay attention to community demographics and be aware of who is and is not participating. 48. The effective community arts developer knows that there are quite different strategies for attracting more people like current participants, creating an increasingly meaningful experience for regular participants, and engaging new kinds of participants. The RAND corporation's research on participation in the arts is invaluable. 49. In one of the small Wisconsin communities studied, a participant said, Our arts council used the Tupperware Party as our model for assessing the community and getting people engaged neighbor by neighbor, block by block. 50. It is important to be clear what success means. It isn't always numbers. If the mission is clear and grounded in a philosophy of community-building, the correct evaluative questions will emerge. For example, if a goal is the building of community relationships, evaluation will include assessing the health of the ecosystem the relationships not the budget growth of arts institutions or the number of arts events. TO CONCLUDE In 1969, Ralph Burgard said: Arts councils must ultimately be concerned with the confrontation of art and people, not art institutions and people. We must live in the future to better understand the present. In that same year, Robert Gard said: If you try, you can indeed/Alter the face and the heart/Of America. In this, our community arts development work, the ordinary and the extraordinary come together. The insider and the outsider find common ground. Beauty merges with the daily stuff of living. The singer and the engineer find common ground. The past, future and present meet. They meet in our creative place; in our beloved community. How to Analyze a Case Study Michael Warlum, PhD Knowing how to analyze a case will help you attack any community problem. A case study: helps you learn by working with a real-world scenario where you act as a problem-solver and decision-maker. presents facts about a particular community or organization. Analyze the case: by focusing on the most important facts. using this information to determine the opportunities and problems facing the community or organization. identifying alternative courses of action to deal with the problems you identify. A case study analysis must: do more than summarize the case. identify key issues and problems. outline and assess alternative courses of action. draw appropriate conclusions. The case study analysis can be broken down into the following steps: Identify the most important facts surrounding the case. Identify the key issue or issues. Decide the criteria for a decision: no matter what, we must and no matter what, we cant Specify alternative courses of action. Evaluate each course of action. Recommend the best course of action. Here is what each step involves. 1. Identify the most important facts surrounding the case. Read the case several times to become familiar with the information it contains.  Assume the facts and figures in the case are true, but question statements, judgments, or decisions made by individuals. Underline and list the most important facts and figures that would help you define the central problem or issue. Make reasonable assumptions if key facts and numbers are not available. 2. Identify the key issue or issues. Use the facts provided by the case to identify the key issue or issues facing the organization or community you are studying. Many cases present multiple issues or problems. Identify the most important issues and separate them from more trivial issues. State the major problem or challenge facing the community or organization in one or two sentences. Explain how this problem affects the strategy or performance of the organization. 3. Decide what will guide your thinking. No matter what, we must. and No matter what, we must not In other words, you are defining your guiding values and parameters Thinking about it this way makes gives you a way of evaluating the alternative courses of action in the next step. 4. Specify alternative courses of action List the courses of action the community or organization can take to solve its problem or meet the challenge it faces. Remember that there is a difference between what a community or organization should do and what it actually can do. Some solutions are too expensive or operationally difficult to implement. Avoid solutions that are beyond the organizations resources. Identify the constraints that will limit the solutions available. Is each alternative executable given these constraints? 5. Evaluate each course of action according to the No matter whats in step 3. Evaluate each alternative using the facts and issues you identified earlier, given the conditions and information available. Identify the costs and benefits of each alternative. Ask What would be the likely outcome of this course of action? State the risks as well as the rewards associated with each course of action. Be sure to state any assumptions on which you have based your decision. 6. Recommend the best course of action. State your choice for the best course of action and provide a detailed explanation of why you made this selection. Provide an explanation of why other alternatives were not selected, if necessary. Your final recommendation should flow logically from the rest of your case analysis and should clearly specify what assumptions were used to shape your conclusion. There is often no single right answer, and each option is likely to have risks as well as rewards.  Community Development Coordinators Retreat June, 2009 Syllabus Purpose: The workshop will explore a series of practical considerations, including how to organize and direct communities environments, people, and interest groups toward a common goal: making participants communities better places to live. Objectives: Participants will: explore a series of practical considerations, including how to organize and direct a communitys environment, its people, and its interest groups. develop a unique plan for making their communities more exciting places. practice with the tools needed to put their plans into action. THIS PAGE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PAGE OF THE WORKSHOP! GOALS OF YOUR ARTS/COMMUNITY BUILDING WORK A better physical community (better planned, more access, more gathering places, more beautiful) and/or A more thoughtful community (where people engage in genuine dialogue, questioning, critiquing, leading to informed action) and/or A multi-cultured community (where people understand and enjoy the cultures of others) and/or A community of empowered individuals (where each person explores his or her own creativity as a means of arriving at a sense of personal value and dignity) and/or A human community (where people know one another as whole persons, creating small-scale settings in order for this to happen) and/or A community of decent services for everyone who lives there (jobs, housing, education, transportation etc) and/or A just community (decency, justice and dignity for all) and/or A civic community (where people see themselves as responsible to the community and its public processes, as well as to self and family) and/or ASSUMPTIONS Turn these into questions to help guide your course of action Big ideas motivate people (which of the goals above motivate your group?) Each community has a unique history, sense of place, and meaning (what is yours? What is it like to live where you do?) Each person matters; each person is creative (do we truly believe that everyones voice matters? Can the arts be entrusted to people?) Creativity is a communitys most important capital (but, lets get real, isnt money really our most important capital?) The bottom line is the well-being of all local people and of the place (what are the implications of this statement for us for this is a far-reaching, value-laden statement) METHODOLOGIES Planning WITH (not for) groups and the community Collaboration (not merely cooperation) with other for-profits and non-profits and units of government Recognizing that most (if not all) of the resources you need are already in the community even if they are non-traditional ideas found in unlikely places Harnessing arts development AND community development simultaneously TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword by Robert L.

ARTS IN THE SMALL COMMUNITY BLUEPRINT FOR ACTION 85 PEOPLE: OTHER GROUPS OTHER GROUPS: Things to think about Just because people are segregated does not mean that they're not creative or that they do not have a personal vision to express. Make contact with appropriate people such as religious leaders, spiritual advisors, counselors, administrators, and community liaisons. Discuss possibilities for making people's lives more meaningful. Recognize that your arts council has within it the possibility of creating an important complement to ongoing treatment or social work. You are not a therapist, but you may be able to provide these professionals with creative opportunities for their clients that take their experience beyond the realm of therapy. Observe any seasonal migrations into your area either for work or play. Look among those involved for persons with artistic interests. Bring marginalized people with artistic talent into conversations concerning ways of exhibiting, publishing, or producing their work.Also talk about how to attract audiences for that work. Perhaps some of these groups would be interested in working with an artist or artists to develop and present work about their lives, as John Malpede did with the men on skid row. Such work can provide meaning to the members and bridge gaps that may exist between them and others in the community. ARTS IN THE SMALL COMMUNITY BLUEPRINT FOR ACTION 86 PEOPLE: OTHER GROUPS OTHER GROUPS: Questions for discussion Who are the people in our community who may be considered segregated in some way? What segregates them? Is it race, religion, language, socio-economic factors, geography, or something else? Are people in these groups able to speak for themselves? If they are not able to speak for themselves, who can represent them? Who from our group can act as a liaison to them? 3. What is the best place to meet and work together? 4. Can we find opportunities to collaborate with social service agencies? 5. Who are the seasonal people in, or near, our community? Artsburg, a Case Study Community (drawing roughly from a case study by Tom Borrup, with his permission) Artsburg is a town of 6,500 located in the rolling countryside of the Reverie River Valley, an area long known as a mecca for outdoor recreation enthusiasts. Because the summers are pleasant and the winters cold, people interested in outdoor sports can enjoy a variety of them during the year. In the last ten years, pollution has increased considerably. The river runs through the center of town, and visitors often remark on the beauty of the old cast-iron bridge that carries Main Street across the river to the other side. Artsburg had a community arts association that ceased to operate a few years ago. But this week, the Mayor returned from a conference at which she learned that the arts can be helpful to a community in moving forward enhancing livability for citizens, attractiveness to tourists, pulling a town together, even helping a town look at options for the future. She has mentioned this to a few friends. Aware that the previous arts council didnt survive, they form a task force to identify community assets and opportunities that the new council can focus some of its projects around. They also want to identify community needs that the council can meet and problems it can help to solve. In formulating its plans, the task force will identify strategies for capitalizing on Artsburgs unique character. To succeed, these strategies must include collaboration among individuals, informal groups, organizations, and community institutions. The aim is to build on Artsburgs positive attributes to create a more diverse and dynamic economy that will benefit all residents now and in the future. The results will further diversify the economy, stimulate business, bring together the elements of a changing population, and keep young people and retirees involved in the community. Artsburg is named for August Artsburg, an almost forgotten but once prominent literary figure. Early in the Twentieth Century, he opened his estate, Artsburg Acres, on the edge of town, to famous authors of his time. They came from all over America and from as far away as England and France to participate in what Artsburg called his Salon, an informal forum of literary discussion and criticism. Selected writers were invited to stay for extended periods of time in rustic cottages on the estate, where they were free to write in seclusion. There is evidence that chapters of many American classics were conceived and drafted at Artsburg Acres. A small group of volunteers maintains the estate and conducts tours of the main house every other weekend in the summer. The town of Artsburg is located on a Native American fishing and trapping site. The first non-native settlers built and ran a busy trading post, which was eventually burned by disgruntled natives in what has become known as The Artsburg Massacre. When peace was finally restored, settlers came via the river and by covered wagon to form a prosperous farming community. Present day Artsburg is a county seat and the service center for some 20,000 people living on surrounding farms and small communities. The original settlers were mostly of German and English origin. In 1925, a large cannery opened to take advantage of Artsburgs agricultural abundance. Large numbers of Italian and Scandinavian migrants came to work in the cannery and related companies. Many of them lived in the quaint company town of Linseyville, named for Valentine Linsey, the owner of the cannery. Linseyville fell into disrepair when the mines closed ten years ago. Unemployment among the former workers remains a concern. A mitigating factor is that this group retains a strong ethnic identity, and neighbors help neighbors to get by in hard times. Handmade lace, tole painting, and woven rugs by these people are highly prized, but increasingly difficult to come by. The local economy suffered as a result of the cannerys closure. Efforts have been made to diversify the economy, with the addition of a fishing gear and boat rental service, a fairly successful ski resort, and a marginally profitable chipping mill. Still, many people are under employed, and young people tend to leave the community after graduation from high school or the two year community collage located to the east of downtown. Artsburg has the typical community organizations. These include several churches and a small synagogue. The school system is better than adequate, although its infrastructure needs updating. The high school orchestra has won several awards at the state level. The public library includes a room devoted to small display of historical artifacts. There are two nursing homes, one of which has an attached independent living facility. The area hospital is adjoined by a doctors clinic with a statewide reputation for excellence in treating sports-related injuries. The community has an active Chamber of Commerce, whose current major project is lobbying state government for funds to replace the bridge over the Reverie River. Artsburg is a ten-mile drive off a major freeway interchange, which features family restaurants, service stations, and big box stores. The interchange is within a hundred miles of two large metropolitan areas. It has a small airport served by a regional airline. Fortunately, the citizens, both of the town and the rural area surrounding it, get along well, and relationships are generally good across generations and among ethnic groups. Artsburg has a welcoming atmosphere, and its historic town center boasts a number of buildings hailing from the late eighteen hundreds. Some of the storefronts have been modernized over the years, but others still have their original cast iron pillars and ornate brickwork. A few downtown businesses have recently closed up shop and their buildings are now vacant. The local radio station is considering moving its studios to one of them, which stands next to the weekly newspaper office. The community has a can-do spirit and a high level of volunteerism when it comes to worthwhile civic projects. Artsburg Instructions, Phase 1 In this exercise, you are playing a role. One of you is: The President of the Chamber of Commerce A Native American artist A doctor from the clinic The President of Save Our Bridge The head librarian of the public library A young newcomer to town, spouse of a teacher, not yet employed The Mayor recently returned from a conference at which she learned that the arts can be helpful to a community in: moving forward enhancing livability for citizens increasing attractiveness to tourists pulling the town together helping a town look at options for the future. She has invited you and your colleagues to serve on a task force to identify: community assets and opportunities that the new council can focus some of its projects around. community needs that the council can meet and problems it can help to solve. individuals, informal groups, organizations, and community institutions that offer possibilities for collaboration. The Mayor has now invited your task force to her office to give her an informal report on your findings. Prepare and present your 10-minute briefing. Artsburg Instructions, Phase 2 In formulating its plans, the task force identifies strategies for capitalizing on Artsburgs unique character. To succeed, these strategies must include collaboration among individuals, informal groups, organizations, and community institutions. Your aim is to build on Artsburgs positive attributes to create a more diverse and dynamic economy that will benefit all residents now and in the future. The results must: further diversify the economy stimulate business bring together the elements of a changing population keep young people and retirees involved in the community. The mayor has asked your task force to present a proposal for action based on the community assessment from Phase 1. You should: reference the Goals, Assumptions and Methodologies handout consider holding an open public meeting, using the Our Community: Questions for Discussion as the agenda acknowledge that there will be conflict show the arts playing an important role in the plan include at least one collaboration between arts and non-arts groups describe tangible things that you would notice at the end of a year, if the plan is successful; at the end of 3 years  ORGANIZING FOR THE ARTS OUR COMMUNITY: Questions for discussion 1. What is the character of our community? What is it like to live here? Are there symbols that identify the community? Does a bridge, an elk, a snowmobile trail, some natural feature, say home? Is there a community attitude, concern, philosophy, or sense of pride that people recognize or share? 2. If there were a slogan or logo for our community, what would it be? Are there sacred places in the community? Are there ptaces that the locals all know about, like a dock where dads take their kids to fish, a particularly wonderful spot to watch the sunset, a place to find the first mushrooms, a dirt road at the end of the airport runway where people watch planes take off? What are the factors that make people want to relocate to our community? What are the factors that might make people want to move out? What are the biggest challenges that lie ahead for the community? What changes do you imagine? Despite these 'changes, what about the community do you think needs to .be preserved? Who are people that have lived in the community for a rong time who were once known for their big ideas (not necessarily arts ideas, just plain big ideas~) Who are the people living here now with big ideas? Could we invite a couple of people from then and now to talk at our next meeting? What does the discussion of these questions suggest for a possible arts council for our town? With whom could we collaborate? Community Arts, Community Strengthening Maryo Gard Ewell November 8, 2000 Speech Presented to the Michigan Association of Community Arts Agencies The topic for today is Community Arts and Community Strengthening. Community strengthening, community building, community development whichever phrase you use, its being talked about as a new idea. It isnt new, really if you subscribe to the notion that ideas move in cycles, as I do, then its an old idea whose time has come, again. I am using the word community to refer to geography today a neighborhood, a town, a watershed. Im not referring to the community of Jamaicans in Detroit, the community of users of America on-line, the community of gay people. I am referring to places where people who are different from one another live together and try to carve out a good life together. Im using it in the sense that Lewis Thomas, the biologist, did when he said, [there are] no independent creatures. The life of any given individual, of any species, is dependent on other individuals, on other species . Moreover, the existence of a given species depends upon the genetic diversity of that species. You dont want to plant field after field of the identical hybrid corn a disease would wipe out absolutely everything. Instead, you diversify so that the economy still survives even if one brand of corn is wiped out. This morning, I want to do several things. First, I want to tell you a little about the arts and community strengthening lineage that the arts people in this room share, even if they dont know it. The stories are important: if youre going on a long trip, it helps to know the background and service record of the car you are driving. Second, I want to throw out a couple of observations for the community arts organizations about the crossroads that I think these organizations are at. Then I want to suggest an array of possible new goals for our work, the shared goals that we have with the many partners in this room, and give you a couple of stories about these (sometimes, stories are easier to remember than more abstract lists of things). Now, I want to mention some movements and characters that led the arts people, knowing it or not, to be here today, and more importantly, to be poised no, maybe mandated! for significant work in their communities. Storytelling lets you know where you started, how far youve come, where youre going, and what it all means. Most cultures know about that look at the almost sacred role given the storyteller, storyholder, griot, across the world. Its the way that community wisdom is shared and passed on. Indeed, that could be the best image to hold in your mind as you do your community work the activities youre doing to build your communities are simply descendents of the stories, the petroglyphs, the dances and ceremonies from the first people on this continent. I suppose I could stop right here, but MACAA gave me 50 minutes, so -Lets leap ahead a couple thousand years. To Anglo cultures in the United States. Were in 1853 when the Village Improvement movement started in Massachusetts. It addressed issues of ugly billboards, need for community trees, paving the roads, and recreational facilities. By 1900, there were about 3000 such groups in the United States, trying to develop a sense of place through aesthetics. This in turn led to the City Beautiful movement, exemplified by the architectural ideas showcased at the Chicago Worlds Fair at the end of the 19th century which emphasized a return to grand, classical architecture for public buildings (think of the Museum of Science and Industry, the Acquarium, the Midway). At about this time, Frederick Law Olmstead was stressing the importance of parks in cities, and a few public art commissions were created in urban areas. Two things slowed all of this down, though first, the idea that grandeur was classist, an amenity for the wealthy, and second, efficiency was replacing aesthetics as a value. There were a few voices raised in opposition to this a notable one was Frank Lloyd Wrights, who believed that the middle class had every right to aesthetics that the upper class did; he even designed a line of wallpaper, drapes, and so forth, to be marketed through Sears. In any event, this story holds our roots of involvement in public art and design. Lets jump back to the early 1800s and follow another thread. In this story, Josiah Holbrook of Massachusetts started inviting his neighbors to his home for discussions of books. Gradually, he started inviting professors and the discussions were expanded to encompass new ideas. This led eventually to the founding of the American Lyceum Association in 1831; by 1850 there were about 3,000 of these groups. But then someone had the ideas that discussion leaders should be paid honoraria and the discussions should become lectures. The next logical step was to put lecturers on the circuit, and James Redpath started a management organization to do exactly that. He valued efficiency, so naturally favored lectures in communities that could afford the fee and that were on the railroad line. The grassroots movement begun as discussions by ordinary folks in peoples homes began to wither as this more professional movement grew. Now, cut to Chautauqua, New York, where Rev. John Vincent was experimenting with the use of the arts to teach the Bible. This approach proved very popular, and pretty soon, Rev. Vincents study packages were being shipped to scores of local Chautauqua Circles. Now, cut back to the Redpath agency, where now-manager Keith Vawter had a big idea. He had lecturers. The Chautauqua Circles were a network of potential presenters. So he brought the two together and if the lecturer was hot enough, but the town was small enough, he even provided tents for the lecture. Do you see in these stories your presenting roots? But more, the linking of the arts to the introduction of new ideas and new ways of thinking? As well as the notion of learning about a given topic through the methodology of the arts? But do you also see the shift from grassroots participation to a one-way lecture situation? What can we learn from this? Thread #3, the growth of the arts themselves. There were theater companies in America in the 18th century, of course, especially in the urban areas, though a performance by a so-called professional company was reported in rural Kentucky in 1797. There were performances on showboats and there were Mexican vaudeville companies traveling throughout the southwest. It was said that in the Rocky Mountain West, the first building built after the assayers office and the saloon was the opera house, and in many places that was probably true. Artists like Edwin Booth and Sarah Bernhardt were seen in many small towns. Redpaths idea of traveling lecturers spawned groups like Columbia Artists Management and suddenly there were Community Concert Series growing throughout the country. Community-based arts were growing, too, in small towns. Fargo, ND, had an art league well established by 1911. Quincy, IL, had an orchestra with a paid conductor by 1947. In 1944, the Junior League of America took it one step further, offering consulting services to communities wanting to expand the number of arts activities and to coordinate existing arts activities. Interestingly, Virginia Lee Comer, the woman behind this idea, was insistent that, when she visited a community, she should talk to all groups of people not just arts groups about creative activity in the community; she saw churches, union halls, and housing projects as obvious places for arts activity because people gathered there. Ms. Comers manual on assessing, coordinating and stimulating arts activities in small communities, and her work in Winston-Salem, NC, in 1946-7, probably led directly to the institution of community arts councils one branch of the community arts tree. Here you arts folks probably see your roots of coordinating, of cultural planning, of the notion of breadth of access to the arts. Hop back again to the turn of the 20th century. In urban areas, you see the Settlement House movement. Im sure you all recognize the name of Jane Addams who founded Hull House in Chicago to provide entry points, orientation points, for new immigrants to the United States, and to provide basic social services for them. She was adamant that poverty, that not speaking English, should not mean disenfranchisement from ones culture. Her comprehensive social service program included meals and helping to locate housing; but it also included a gym, mens and womens clubs, programs in native languages as well as English, a library, art classes and an art gallery, a drama group. The National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts, whose membership must pledge that no one will be turned away for lack of ability to pay for lessons or lack of so-called talent, traces its roots directly to Hull House. Here we see the start of the integration of the arts and social services. Meanwhile, at the same time in rural areas, the Extension Service of the land grant universities was doing similar work. They were producing opera in Iowa, encouraging folk arts in Kentucky, inserting the arts into community planning efforts in Ohio, linking arts and recreation, arts and homemaking, arts and the meaningful use of leisure time. Some individuals stand out: in upstate New York, Alexander Drummond was disgusted by the quality of so-called rural plays marketed by Samuel French, which portrayed rural people as hicks with no deeper concern than a new dress for the big dance. So Drummond called for farmers who might want to write plays, and deployed his graduate students in theater as the dramaturgs to help them do so. In North Carolina, Frederick Koch believed that, because of the nature of the American ideal, Americas culture could ONLY be recorded by ordinary Jo(e). So he got people in his theater program to start writing so-called folk plays plays about their background, about people in their communities. He insisted that his program be a mix of rich and poor, sharecropper and landowner, black and white. Literally thousands of these folk plays were written in North Carolina during his time on the faculty. Alfred Arvold, in North Dakota, was passionate that a community was an organic whole, and that the arts must not be broken off from the ongoing life of the community. To this end, he promulgated the notion of the community center where there would be a wonderful jumble of activity it would be a recreation center, science center, arts center, government center, where sometimes you couldnt tell where one began and the other left off. In 1917 he wrote, A community center is a place, a neighborhood laboratory, so to speak, where people meet in their own way to analyze whatever interests they have in common and participate in such forms of recreation as are healthful and enjoyable. The fundamental principle back of the community center is the democratization of all art so the common people can appreciate it, science so that they can use it, government so that they can take a part in it, and recreation so they can enjoy it. In other words, itshighest aim is to make the common interests the great interests. To give a human expression in every locality to the significant meaning of these terms come lets reason and play together is in reality the ultimate object of the community center. In Wisconsin, Robert Gards initial dream was to get every Wisconsinite writing; this ideal grew from the notion of populist government that prevailed in Wisconsin at the time. This Wisconsin Idea interrelated civic involvement, public education, access to the newest ideas, and fulfillment of creative potential for all of the citizens of the state. In 1955, he wrote in Grassroots Theater about the deep relationship between art and sense of place. But Gards dream kept expanding, and in the Arts in the Small Community, 1967, he admonished arts groups to work with athletic groups like football teams, churches, organizations serving various ethnic groups, senior citizens, and others, in the service of a healthy whole community. In these stories, we see our commitment to empowering the individual, and the notion of the role of the arts in whole communities. Another individual, working a little earlier than Gard, was Baker Brownell. He was a philosopher from Northwestern University, brought to Montana in the 1940s to help small towns think about their future, especially their economic future. He believed that this process started with a review of the communitys economic, religious, creative, ethnic, and educational histories; the self-study process that he designed culminated in the production of a pageant that didnt just recite these histories but used them as a way of addressing the future. Brownell believed that there are periods where specialists are needed in a society, giving way to periods where generalists are needed. It is tempting, for its easier, to remain in a world of specialists, but he saw overspecialization as the path to the death of the soul and of society. Generalists must stride forward people who applied their knowledge to issues of the whole, to the integration of society and he saw artists as people with this special knowledge. Brownell juxtaposed the human community to the culture of specialism. In the human community which would be a place where the scale would be shrunk so that people could know one another as whole persons - he saw the arts as a tool in community planning, but more importantly, as the way to reclaim a societys soul. He believed art to be a verb that everyone is latently creative and thinking but that the art system in too many places reinforces passivity, and the way of passivity is the way of death. Ours is a culture of displaced persons. It is tattered with escape and wandering, and as such is a culture founded on being lost. What the Germans did to millions in the concentration camps, and the Russians to tens of millions in the mass deportations, the western world in general does less dramatically but as effectively to hundreds of millions swarming homelessly to centers of vicarious and secondary culture. Their lives die out, love rots, and hope is replaced by avid stimulation. We still make pious statements in support of the integrity of life. But we do not live it. With the radical decline of the community the ideals of wholeness of life have become more and more a succession of whitewashed phrases.There is no substitute for wholeness, no alternative for the integrity of human life. It is a norm which underlies all responsible conduct, all ethical conduct, and indeed sanity itself. In all this, art may become merely one of the seducers to death. Or it may become the insight of life and survival itself. Literally, he tied artists to the life of a society and this, too, is something we are awakening to, today. Rachel Davis-Dubois (no relation to WEB Dubois, though she worked with him) was an educator in New York working in the 1930-50s.. Her lifelong devotion was to multicultural education, K-12. But even more than this, she articulated the notion of cultural democracy as being the third leg of the American stool, along with political and economic democracy but the leg that had not yet been attended to. She believed that the American dream could not be realized without equal emphasis on cultural democracy. In 1943 she said The melting pot idea, or come-let-us-do-something-for-you attitude on the part of the old-stock American was wrong. For half the melting pot to rejoice in being made better while the other half rejoiced in being better allowed for neither element to be its true self. The welfare of the groupmeans [articulating] a creative use of differences. Democracy is the only atmosphere in which this can happen, whether between individuals, within families, among groups in a country, or among countries. This kind of sharing we have culled cultural democracy. Political democracy the right of all to vote we have inherited. Economic democracy the right of all to be free from want we are beginning to envisage. But cultural democracy a sharing of values among numbers of our various cultural groups we have scarcely dreamed of. Much less have we devised social techniques for creating it. Indeed, the more I think about her words, the less I like the concept of outreach except, perhaps, as a marketing term. The word for in the sense that she is using it, the come-let-us-do-something-for-you attitude has joined my list of f words. Much of her work was about enabling groups to study, understand and value their own cultures, and to equally value, and delight in, the cultures of others. Here, again, Im sure you see some of your roots. Finally, in the first half of the 19th century, you see an articulation of the responsibility of the artist to building a stronger civic society. Percy MacKaye, from a long family of theater people, articulated the responsibility of the artist to explicitly think of himself or herself as building civic infrastructure; and certainly, the artists later in the century, who were put back to work by the WPA, wrote and produced plays and murals that challenged and raised questions while they also beautified and delighted. The Civic Theater idea, as a distinctive issue, implies the conscious awakening of a people to self-government in the activities of its leisure. To this end, organization of the arts of the theater, participation by the people in the arts, not mere spectatorship, a new resulting technique, leadership by means of a permanent staff of arts (not of merchants in art), elimination of profit by endowment and public support, dedication in the service to the whole community: these are chief among its essentials, and these imply a new and nobler scope for the art of theater itself. Our roots here, too, are obvious. Now lets look at the present at two moments and two movements that Ill bet you remember. Moment #1: the creation of the NEA in 1965 as part of Lyndon Johnsons Great Society, and a few years later, the creation of CETA by the Department of Labor both of which re-introduced the idea, dormant after the WPA, that arts are a public good and should be supported by the taxpayers in the interest of a Great Society. Moment #2: the Bicentennial. Scores of communities came together to review their history, or histories, and many Bicentennial celebrations led to the establishment of permanent organizations ArTrain, here in Michigan, was a Bicentennial activity intended to spawn community arts celebrations wherever it parked, and I suspect many of your arts councils were ArTrain babies. And the two movements: the Civil Rights Movement, which involved the public in urgent issues of justice and multicultural coexistence; many artists and arts groups joined the front lines of this movement. And the other was Reganomics which, as a result of terrific cuts in social service, community development, and arts budgets, led to a modus operandi of entrepreneurialism for arts groups. So arts councils grew and flourished. Non-arts organizations like hospitals and recreation centers began to include the arts in their programs. Cities began to recognize the importance of creative activity in building healthy communities. Thats why you are all here. But I think that, today, Baker Brownells signposts are smack in front of us. I believe that we are emerging from an era of great specialization. We have achieved unbelievable things in the last century in terms of what we know and what we know how to do, and Im not only talking about technology. No matter how specialized it is, you can find a club for it, a magazine for it, a myriad of books and websites about it., probably a college degree in it. We have taken specialization to a new level. We have almost perfected the art of being community arts councils, for instance. So Brownells choice would be, we can continue to specialize, and our society will become overripe, sick, un-human. Or we can declare ourselves champions of the human community, and begin to integrate all that special knowledge, all those interest groups, all those departments that dont talk to one another, all those individuals whose community is people just like them whether they find their like folks in clubs, on the internet, or at work. That is, I believe, the challenge all thinking people face right now. But I also believe that this is a special moment for the arts - because they are about questioning and about bringing people together and about creating safe spaces for everyone to try out ideas, experience one another, and laugh and cry together. I actually think that this is our moment of moral choice. Now, the specialty we arts folks have is more, and better arts, accessible to more people one of the stories you heard. You may decide that thats enough. But If we choose to enter the public arena as Brownells healing generalists, and I hope that we do I believe that we must! it means that we need to go back to some basics and re-think our role in the community. That re-thinking can begin in conversations in the care today with the folks you came with. It can begin in those horrible insomniac moments that I, for one, seem to be experiencing more and more these days. It can begin in conversations at the dinner table with your kids. In your board meeting. I suggest that you arent really prepared to play in the new civic arena until youve arrived at perhaps embarrassingly simple, but intensely personal, answers to certain questions. Think about how Rachel Davis-Dubois, Baker Brownell, Percy MacKaye and the others might inform you as you ask questions like: What does it mean to live in a democratic society? Am I unafraid to live with the implications of my answer? For instance, if I say that democracy is about the equal empowerment of everyone, am I unafraid to live with decisions made by people not like me? What is a community? Right now, community has become one of those feel-good words that have to be used if a certain brand of internet access is to sell or a politician is to get elected, and pretty much it means whatever; but the fact that we respond so powerfully means, I think, that we are hungry for it. Is community more than an address and if so, what? To what extent should my community be dependent economically and culturally on the outside world? In a society where demographics are shifting dramatically, and fast, what is or isnt the significance of that communitys history and way of doing things? Is the community ever more important than the individual? Is the individual ever more important than the community? When? We say that multiculturalism is the goal, that a single generic culture is not; what does this mean for me and for my daily life? Do I view peoples participation in their own culture as a right to fight for, or a hobby to be acknowledged? Are there universal human rights, and if there are, to what extent do have a responsibility to ensure these for people? What is a meaningful human life? What am I willing to give up in order to achieve my vision of a good community? Its a world of tradeoffs, after all, and no, you cant have it all despite what t.v. commercials tell us: what will I give up? When I was in planning school, my mentor-professor required us to do what he called a personal practice framework before he felt we were ready to do any real-world work. First we had to outline the things we believed to be true in the universe those ideas like god and truth that, for each of us, just were. Then, we had to state our beliefs about people what human being were all about. From these two things, we had to outline our personal beliefs about the community development or community strengthening process. And finally, we had to derive from these things a personal code of behavior and ethics. I challenge us all to do some version of this, or update one that we may have thought through long ago. I dont think that any of us in this room can do community strengthening work by ourselves. Government cant do it without the non-profit sector, and the non-profit sector cant do it without the for-profit sector. To be the generalists needed to help heal a society in which children are killing one another, in which desperation is becoming a norm, in which communities are being controlled by headquarters somewhere else, in which the wealth and power gap is getting greater and greater, in which we avoid really having dialogues about ideas - to be these healers, we will only be able to do it together. For the arts people in the room, I say, dont worry about quality and dont worry about audience development. Heretical? Distant from your core mission? Just chasing the money? I dont think so. Raise them if you must; but put them aside. First, weve learned that you put the best artists you know in residency situations because the impact is greater. Were never going to stop doing that. And, many of the artists I know who are doing this type of community arts are starting to see it as an emerging art form the cutting edge of contemporary art for many with its own quality standards and tools. To be part of the creation of a new art form, only now in the process of inventing its own vocabulary how much more aesthetic excitement, commitment can you possibly seek? Finally, since your mission is probably something like, to better our community through the arts, I would say: then community art-making in the service of community betterment IS your core mission. If you are defining community betterment as more art is good for people, and working primarily in the area of audience development, well, I guess I would urge you to stretch a little. Using excellence as your means, not the end, compromises nothing, does the value added thing, and gives you an audience in 10 years as your dividend (where too much audience development activity, these days, is just about marketing, not about the community, and will leave you with empty seats when your temporarily-expanded audience dies off). For the non-arts people here, I say, everyone is talking about creative thinking these days, creative problem-solving. The arts folks in the room may not have much cash to bring to the table, but they have, and have access to, almost unlimited creative capital. A small example of what I mean: I know a man who was Mayor of the City of Manitou Springs in Colorado. He had an artists advisory committee and whenever he had a public works situation he needed to deal with, he invited the artists to come up with a cheaper, more interesting and more creative solution for the community. If you go to Manitou Springs now, youll see their wonderful legacy. In short, we need each other. So lets revisit some of those stories for a moment after weve thought about our true motivations. From them, what can we derive as goals that you might share, that these old stories can shed light on? Here are the shared goals that I see that you choose from: A better physical community one that is more beautiful, better planned, provides more access, more gathering places. This is the story of the Village Improvement and City Beautiful and Frank Lloyd Wright movements. A more thoughtful community one where people engage in genuine dialogue, questioning, critiquing, leading to more informed personal and collective action. This is the story of Josiah Holbrook and his discussion groups, and the Chautauqua clubs. A multi-cultured community, where people understand and prize the cultures of one another as they value their own. This is the legacy of Frederick Koch, of Rachel Davis-Dubois. A community of empowered individuals, where each person explores his or her own creativity as a means of arriving at a sense of personal value and dignity. This is the story of Alex Drummond, Robert Gard, the Extension Service. A human community, where acting within a scale that is small enough, people come to know one another as whole persons so that they can move forward as a community not as groups of special interests or constituencies. This is the story of Alfred Arvold, of Baker Brownell. A just community, which provides decency, dignity and tolerance for all. This is the legacy of the Settlement House movement and the Civil Rights movement A civic community, where everyone sees himself or herself as responsible to the community and its public processes improving the calibre of civic dialogue, asking questions about public values, engaging people in thinking about what it means to be a citizen there. This is the legacy of Percy MacKaye, of the artists who participated in the arts programs of the New Deal. I suggest that you first need to agree on shared goals even lofty, overarching ones such as these (maybe you call it a mission or a shared vision; I dont care. I mean, the overarching thing that is so important that it makes you almost embarrassed to talk about because it touches something so deep in you.) As you articulate what it is youre trying to achieve youll start defining your playing field. Youll write your strategy, moving from a couple of you having a great conversation in the car to actually getting the involvement of your organizations. Who are other potential players that might share this goal? How do you get them involved? What, organizationally and personally, do they need to get out of working with you? ? Do public decisions need to be made along the way? Can you imagine how the community will change as your work is successful? What resources do you need to get the job done not only money, people and time, but authority, credibility, power, and how do you get those resources? Along the way, in particular, how will the arts be involved? I see arts activity as clustering in the following six action groups to help move towards these common goals. Perhaps listing these will be helpful, for each has a different function, depending on what is needed at a given time, which depends, of course, on your strategic outline: Activities that CELEBRATE the things that we do have in common. Ever seen the movie True Stories? Its about a little town in Texas whose sesquicentennial celebration is The Celebration of Specialness; but they are constantly saying, But were so ordinary how could we be having a celebration of specialness? As the move unfolds you discover layers and layers beneath these ordinary exteriors. Creative layers, too! Activities that EDUCATE US ABOUT OURSELVES. In Larimer County, Colorado, a small group of people determined that folks there didnt know how to talk to someone different from them very well, and that this ability to listen and communicate was a necessary first step if they were ever to move forward on complex issues of land use. Twenty-five artists and twenty-five non-artists volunteered for the Corn Project. Pairs of people were randomly assigned. There were a couple of rules: 1) you couldnt have ever met the person you were paired with, and 2) you agreed to meet for coffee three times and talk about anything you wished. At the end of these three coffees, youd decide whether you wanted to make a piece of art together, which contained each of your ideas, each of your creativity, equally the artist couldnt simply interpret her companion. Twenty-three of the twenty-five pairs finished their art project even though they all described their initial encounters as we saw we had nothing in common, but we agreed to meet three times We were really surprised that we determined to complete this project, and we are finding it wonderful. A realtor and an actress who will probably never afford my own home, a baker and a writer, a choreographer and a farmer, a music therapist and a hog farmer the projects, displayed or performed at the fairgrounds on Labor Day did, perhaps, make the first step to true communication in Larimer County. Activities that EDUCATE OTHERS ABOUT US. In Crested Butte, Colorado, which depends heavily on tourists for its economic life, the buses that transport skiers to the ski area are all painted with something important about Crested Butte its history, people who live there, even the dogs that everyone knows who live there so say, We live here. Dont just spend money here: respect our place and people. Get to know us. Activities that MOBILIZE people. In Los Angeles, the Bus Riders Union has collaborated with Cornerstone Theater to create a series of mini-plays which are performed literally on the buses by a small team of players who board dressed in costume, do their playlet which has to do with some issue faced by bus riders, distribute leaflets, and get off the bus several stops later. Activities that PREVENT hardship or disaster. Why not have a performance by the community theater during a town planning process Act I would portray the community if growth, say, continues as it is currently going, Act II would portray the community if a certain decision were made about growth. Act III might show the community if another decision were made about growth. It gives people a way to truly envision their future. Activities that HEAL. The Oklahoma City Arts Council was critical in helping to re-build Oklahoma City after the terrible bombing at the Federal Center. Artists who had been in residence at Columbine High School were among the first people that the school turned to after the tragedy and within 2 days the artists were offering activities to students and teachers the first of a series of activities that are ongoing to this day, two years later. Before I close, I want to say again that I believe its imperative for the future of our society that we engage in this work. Its hard. It will make us think, maybe sometimes more than we want to. It may knock us off the center of what we think we know. But it is essential work. It is our moment. Lives are at stake. Let me close with this quote from Robert Gard: If you try, what may you expect? First a community Welded through art to a new consciousness of self: A new being, perhaps a new appearance A people proud Of achievements which life them through the creative Above the ordinary A new opportunity for children To find exciting experiences in art And to carry this excitement on Throughout their lives A mixing of peoples and backgrounds Through art; a new view Of hope for mankind and an elevation Of mannot degradation. New values for individual and community Life, and a sense That here, in our place, We are contributing the maturity Of a great nation. If you try, you can indeed Alter the face and the heart Of America. Individual Arts Plan First, think about the Artsburg work we did yesterday. It was about identifying community assets/needs and finding ways that, in collaboration with others, artists and arts groups could emphasize these assets/needs. Now think about your response to our pre-workshop questions to you about your community, and its needs and assets. Think about and answer these questions. Then share your plan with the group from your community. Right now What new things have I learned in these two days that I could apply when I get home? Given my particular situation, what questions do I still have that are significant to me? When I get back to my community Who do I have to or want to talk to about this workshop? What questions might they ask me? How do I want to reply? What new expectations/demands will be placed on me as a result of my attending this workshop? What specific objectives do I want to accomplish in the next 90 days regarding organizing for the arts in my community? THE ARTS AS A KEY ELEMENT IN DEVELOPING THRIVING COMMUNITIES DATE, LOCATION Evaluation We intended to both provide a philosophical context for action, some tangible tools, some practice via case studies, and some time to think about how this all applies to your own community. How well did we do? Do you feel that your community team has the starting points for action when you get home? Do you feel that you personally have steps to take when you get home? What did you like best about the workshop? Least? What single thing would improve this workshop if we offer it again? Overall, how satisfied were you with this workshop? not at all less more completely Satisfied satisfied satisfied satisfied 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 If you were not satisfied, please explain why not: Other comments or suggestions?
