Keynote Speakers:

Sanford Biggers

Sanford Biggers, an LA native currently working in NYC, creates artworks that integrate film/video, installation, sculpture, drawing, original music and performance. He intentionally complicates issues such as hip hop, Buddhism, politics, identity and art history in order to offer new perspectives and associations for established symbols. Through a multi-disciplinary formal process, and an equally syncretic creative approach, he makes works or “vignettes” that are as aesthetically pleasing as they are conceptual.

Sophie Ryder

Sophie Ryder’s world is one of mystical creatures, animals and hybrid beings made from sawdust, wet plaster, old machine parts and toys, weld joins and angle grinders, wire ‘pancakes’, torn scraps of paper, charcoal sticks and acid baths. The products are a result of her methods, and they have an inherent fascination. It is still necessary, however, to see beyond them and recognize that the materials are a means to an end: the communication of ideas.

Edward K. Uhlir

Edward K. Uhlir, FAIA, was appointed Design Director of Millennium Park by Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley in 1998. In this capacity, he oversaw construction and completion of the 24.5 acre park, coordinating the contributions of world-class artists and architects, including Frank Gehry, Renzo Piano, Jaume Plensa, Anish Kapoor and Piet Oudolf with the landscape design firm Gustafson Guthrie Nichols. Mr. Uhlir now serves as the park’s Director of Planning. He now serves as the Executive Director of the not-for-profit Millennium Park Inc. and he is the President of Uhlir Consulting LLC which provides consulting services for the planning and design of parks. He lectures worldwide regarding Millennium Park and parks in general.

Before his involvement with Millennium Park, Mr. Uhlir was the Director of Research and Planning for the Chicago Park District. Prior to that, he served as the Park District’s Director of Architecture, Engineering and Planning and he headed the public art program.

Community MusicWorks (CMW) seeks a Managing Director to lead the
organization into its next phase. CMW, now in its 16th year, is a communitybased
organization in Providence, Rhode Island that has an important leadership
position nationally. The organization connects the permanent residency of a
professional chamber ensemble to a local urban community in Providence, to
provide artistic and educational opportunities to an economically challenged
community, all with a mission of social change.
In recent years the organization has experienced steady growth, and now has a
staff of 16 full- and part-time people, an annual budget of approximately $1
million, and several new initiatives. The organization’s 5-year strategic plan
focuses on the question of how much to grow locally and nationally, and defines
an intention to 1) grow deeper not broader within Providence to provide our 100
students with comprehensive musical experiences, and 2) to develop a national
presence by sharing our model with musicians and arts organizations across the
country so that they can carry forward CMW’s ideas in other communities. In the
coming years, the organization will be focused on planning for and carrying out a
campaign for a permanent facility.
Funding for Community MusicWorks comes from local and national foundations,
including the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Surdna Foundation, the National
Endowment of the Arts, and many individual contributors. In 2010, the
organization won national recognition when its founder received a MacArthur
“genius grant,” and Michelle Obama presented the organization with the National
Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award at the White House.
Community MusicWorks seeks a Managing Director who will help the
organization to maintain and grow its reputation and programming, develop new
initiatives in the coming years, and support the organization’s ambitions toward
finding a permanent facility. The Managing Director will work in partnership with
the Founder & Artistic Director in many areas of organizational leadership,
including strategic planning, institutional advancement, board development, and
public programming. The Managing Director will have direct responsibility for
financial management, communications and public relations, growing local and
national partnerships, and staff supervision. Because the organization has a
Director of Development, fund development will not be a primary responsibility of
the Managing Director, but participation in relationship building and stewardship
will be essential.
A successful candidate will be a strategic thinker with excellent interpersonal
skills, a passion for arts and social justice, experience with organizational
leadership, finance, and communications, and will be an innovator who can grow
the organization’s position locally and nationally.
The position includes full health and dental insurance and retirement benefits.
Salary range available upon request.
Interested applicants should send a resume and letter of interest to Sebastian
Ruth, Founder & Artistic Director at search@communitymusicworks.org.

Program Description

The Cultural Exchange Fund (CEF) is a travel subsidy program supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to assist U.S. based presenting professionals and their organizations and companies in building partnerships and collaborations with international touring artists, companies and their collaborators and to experience the work of artists from around the world in its cultural context. The Association of Performing Arts Presenters (APAP) recognizes that promoting global exchanges of artists and their work and cross-cultural programs is essential to fully engage audiences and communities in the breadth and diversity of performing arts experiences and provides an opportunity for presenting professionals to expand and deepen their knowledge of artists, traditions and cultures from around the world. APAP strongly encourages but does not limit travel to the following regions: the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and Africa.

APAP awards travel subsidies to individual presenting professionals including agents, managers and producers, presenting organizations and to groups of presenting professionals traveling to see the work of artists and companies, or to develop and advance projects with international artists and their collaborators.  All applicants must be active members of the Association of Performing Arts Presenters.

Beginning in the fall of 2011, the Cultural Exchange Fund will launch a pilot travel subsidy program for artists who wish to travel abroad to conduct research for a project or presentation. The Cultural Exchange Fund will not fund artists that are performing in festivals or touring in or outside of the United States, or traveling abroad to meet with international presenters about performance opportunities.

Artists — please note: Artists seeking funding for festival performances should visit the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation.

CEF does not fund for-profit organizations that cannot demonstrate a mission and history of relationship building, or project development that serves the presenting field, presenting organizations, or a particular community.

Ovation and Americans for the Arts Announces Launch of Grant Program
for Innovative Arts-Focused Community Revitalization Projects

As part of its effort to recognize the role artists play in revitalizing their communities, Ovation television network has partnered with Americans for the Arts to launch a national grant program, innOVATION.

Inspired by the community-revitalization effort documented in the network’s recent original series Motor City Rising,
the innOVATION Grant Program is designed to highlight similar stories
of arts-focused, neighborhood-renewal initiatives in the United States
and provide support to model projects.

The program invites mayors, county executives, and other elected
community leaders to endorse the most inspiring arts-related
community-revitalization efforts in their city. In addition to the
formal funding process, Ovation also will provide an online platform for
submissions for the innOVATION Grant Program on its Facebook page and
Web site, providing a national platform for these encouraging stories
and the opportunity for the public to choose an additional viewers’
choice grantee.

To be eligible, applicants must be Americans for the Arts
organizational members and must be nominated by an elected community
official (mayor, county executive, etc.). Applicants’
community-revitalization programs must focus on the arts and have a
demonstrated record of success. Only one submission per community will
be accepted. All applicants will be eligible to compete for the viewers’
choice award.
This year’s program will award three grants of $25,000, two grants of
$10,000, and one viewers’ choice award of $15,000.

Grant recipients will be selected based on their creative, economic,
and social impact, as well as their ability to pool public, private,
nonprofit, and community efforts to improve and enhance a specific
region through arts and culture.
For complete innOVATION grant program guidelines and application
procedures, as well as information on becoming an Americans for the Arts
organizational member, visit the Americans for the Arts Web site.
