f Idea

sFAA’s 2006 Legislative Forum: Enhancing the Arts Community with the Exchange of Ideas

by Rachael Kvapil

every summer

visitors to the Interior express

great surprise at the number

of galleries, performances,

and artists in Alaska. Fairbanks

Arts Association staff and

volunteers enjoy educating

people about our thriving

community that supports

all genres of visual, literary,

and performing arts. FAA

knows that the more people

understand art, the more likely

they are to support it as either

a patron or a participant.

Throughout the

year arts organizations put a

lot of energy into educating

visitors and residents alike.

With so many arts-related

opportunities, it takes

continuous communication to

keep abreast of the activities

in any given arts organization.

The payoff, however, is that

artists and arts organization

know how to help each other

while working towards the

growth of our established arts

culture in Alaska.

This show of

support becomes important

every December when

Fairbanks Arts Association

holds its Legislative Forum.

An event affiliated with FAA’s

Community Arts Committee,

the Legislative Forum brings

members from the arts

community together with the

current Interior Delegation for

an open discussion about arts-

related issues. Participation

in the forum is open to FAA

affiliates, other arts organizations, artists, and

arts educators. Attending the 2006 Legislative

Forum, held on December 6 in the FAA Bear

Gallery, were Senators Gary Wilken and

Gene Therriault and Representatives David

Guttenburg, John Coghill, Jr., Scott Kawasaki

(elect) with legislative aides Derek Miller (for

Representative Mike Kelly), Dorothy Shockley

(for Senator Al Kookesh), and Joe Michel (for

Senator Ralph Seekins). FAA executive Director

June Rogers facilitated the forum.

Peggy Ferguson, council member for

the Alaska State Council on the Arts, updated

the Interior Delegation about the activities of

this statewide agency including the celebration

of its 40th Anniversary in 2007. She asked the

Interior Delegation to support the funding

requests submitted by ASCA to the governor,

which included a National endowment for

the Arts grant match and additional funds

to hire a full-time Arts education position.

After acknowledging the efforts of the entire

delegation on behalf of arts organization,

Peggy also recognized Senator Gary Wilken

as the 2006 Governor’s Arts Advocacy Award

recipient.

Members of the Interior Delegation

complimented arts organizations for

accomplishing so much despite limited

budgets. “We know that for every dollar given

we get so much more back,” said Senator

Wilken, a statement echoed many times

though the hour and a half session.

The Interior

D e l e g a t i o n

was also urged

to support an

increase in

arts education.

e x p r e s s e d

a difficulty

maintaining arts

education given the demands of ‘No Child Left

Behind.’

“Though ‘No Child Left Behind’

states that the arts are part of the core and

will be tested in the future, the current focus

is on reading, writing, and math with science

next. We need to find bigger blocks of time to

include the arts,” said Barb.

Finally, Barb encouraged the

legislature to continue its support of the 1% for

Art Program, which requires public facilities to

set aside 1% of its budget for art for the newly

built structure.

In addition to the exchange of ideas,

FAA assembled an information package for

each member of the Interior Delegation. The

package included brochures, pamphlets, and

program information about FAA, ASCA, and

Interior arts organizations. Legislators say the

reference material is useful when discussing

arts-related issues with their colleagues.

Arts organizations are proud of

the support they receive from their Interior

Delegation. “The Legislative Forum is a great

opportunity to familiarize yourself with your

team,” says Fairbanks Concert Association

executive Director Jason hodges.

FAA Board President Corlis Taylor

adds, “It is a great opportunity to learn first

hand about the people representing you and

your organization in Juneau.”

The mission of North Pole Charitable

Youth, Inc. is to inspire youth to

dream and create their dreams using

technology new to Alaska. While

following that dream, students will

learn how to set goals, schedules,

and plan to succeed. We use a

series of classes, each one building

on the skills learned in several

unrelated disciplines, to accomplish

the ultimate goal of creating new

entrepreneurial opportunities

and economic diversity in Alaska.

Classes include but are not limited

to 2D and �D computer animation,

videoagraphy, sound and video

editing, sound and video effects.

We use �D computer animation

to teach students how to create

constructive and productive projects

while letting their creative ideas

flow. We channel the ideas into

short movies that become a demo

reel for the students. These 5-minute

animations include all the different

aspects of animation, which include

modeling (sculpting and art), motion

(drama), audio (music and effects),

lighting (drama and photography),

textures (art and painting), and

storyboarding (creative writing and

story telling).

Students then work in-group projects

where they learn to cooperate with

others and make stories that can become a

television series a movie or game. here the

students learn how to work within a set time

frame and budget.

Youth and adults repeatedly asked Mr. Sevy if

he could teach them �D-computer animation,

he conducted a survey at local high schools and

determined that there was sufficient interest

to put a class together. NPCYI was created in

April 2001. The first class of 4 students began

in 2002-200� school year with donated space

and a limit of 2 hours per week from the North

Pole Youth Academy. In the 200�-2004 school

year North Pole high School donated the use

of eight computers and 4 hours per week for

an after school class. February of 2005 NPCYI

decided to branch out on its own with its own

facility thus opening classes up to the entire

interior Alaska area.

We are currently raising $60,000 for a render*

farm and new computers for the �D animation

class. This will free students computers from

render duties and let the students spend class

time working on their projects.

NPCYI is planning to start classes in

animatronics and hologram technology in

the near future. Classes are held at 1949

Gilliam Way, Room 401. For more information

visit www.npcyi.org or call 455-5585 to leave

message.

*(Render: This is the term for where the computer

calculates the art work and lighting for each frame

of animation. It then creates photos then puts

these in sequence to make a movie file.) Students

must render their projects for viewing timing and

appearance of the animations. There are 30 frames

for each second or 1,800 frame for each minute

of animation. When students first start each

animation it is just a few hundred frames and each

frame renders in seconds. As the student progresses

and their skills increases the complexity of the

animation increase significantly. Each frame then

can take minutes hours, and some frames may take

days to render out a single frame.

JAnuAry gALLery exhibit: Art for Alaskansthe alaska state council on the arts in collaboration with the national endowment For the arts selections From 30 years oF the alaska contemporary art bank

sponsored by the nea american masterpieces initiative editor’s Note: The following is a statement written from Alaska State Council on the Arts executive Director Charlotte Fox, written for the Art for Alaskans catalog.

This exhibit, �0 years of the Alaska Contemporary Art Banks, is part of an initiative launched this year by the National endowment for the Arts, entitled “American Masterpieces.” every state chose a project they thought represented qualities inherent in American Masterpieces, representing the best of the state’s cultural and artistic legacy. For this inaugural year, in honor of our 40th anniversary, we chose to highlight our own Contemporary Art Bank. The Alaska Contemporary Art Bank is an Alaska State Council on the Arts program that supports Alaska’s artists through the purchase of their work. For years, the Art Bank has lived up to its mission of making valuable art accessible to the general public by placing high quality works of original art by living Alaska artists on view in public spaces other than museums. The Alaska State Council on the Arts wants to thank the participating museums, galleries and culture centers for hosting this traveling exhibit. The Council would also like to recognize the curatorial sensibilities of the exhibit curator Asia Freeman, homer, and the exhibit coordinator Sandy Gillespie, Fairbanks.

& Brenda Jones “Gwich’ in Faces” Brenda Jones has always made art part of her life. Growing up in the panhandle of Florida, she was always involved in projects and

considered art an essential part of her well-being. She has an undergraduate and a master’s degree in math and in her 50s began formal art

training with her first painting class. For Brenda math and art are different ways of framing the universe, both focusing on essential elements of the

human condition.

During an extended stay in hawaii, Brenda became fascinated with different cultures and the conflicts generated by heritage, ethnicity

and identity and the demands of mainstream modern life. She not only learned about the different ethnic groups living in this island microcosm

but also learned about herself through the eyes of others. These experiences, more than any others, dovetailed into the experiences that she has

had living in rural Alaska. She regrets that she didn’t pursue portrait painting during this period of her life.

At 50 Brenda became certified to teach high school and took a job in Fort Yukon with an ambition of painting portraits of her new

charges. It was here that she picked up the dropped thread of discovering herself through the eyes of others, in addition to studying the effects of

the collision of culture and the demands of living in the modern American 21st century.

her show “Gwich’in Faces” is very personal for Brenda, “When I first arrived in Fort Yukon, I had two brothers in my class, Thomas and

everette horace. They had just moved into Fort Yukon from Venetie to go to

school, and hopefully play basketball with the eagles. Thomas and everette were

good students but amazing on the basketball court.

“After I returned to Fairbanks, everette moved into town as well and attended

howard Luke Academy during the time that I was the math teacher there. In

short, we span a seven-year history together and I have been blessed with having

them in my life. We all lost Thomas last February and are still trying to come to

terms with this loss.

Dedicating this show to Thomas’ memory is my way of communicating to his

family how profoundly sorry I am for their loss and a way to help me process this

event.”

Enzweiler has published 3 previous books of poetry: Home Country (Fireweed Press, 1986), Stonework of the Sky (Graywolf Press, 1995) and A Curb in Eden, first version (Salmon Publishing, Ltd, 1999). ACurb in Eden, new version was published by Iris Press in 2003. Recently he released his latest collection A Winter on Earth.

The Monthly Literary Reading is on Saturday, January 6 at 7pm in the FAA Bear Gallery. Please note that our Literary Reading Series is now on the first Saturday of each month.

reAding series: Joseph enzweiler

Dan was born and raised in Rockford Illinois, located 90 miles west of Chicago. When he was in the sixth grade, his parents bought him a subscription to “Outdoor” magazine, as a Christmas gift. Little did they know that it would change his life forever. In one of the issues was an article on Fred Bear bow hunting for Grizzly Bear in Alaska. It had artist’s renditions of the hunt and soon, Dan would dream of living in Alaska and bow hunting for Grizzly Bear.

It took 37 years before Dan realized his dream of coming to Alaska. After high school, he went to work for a factory, got married and had a family and thought his dream would never come true. In 1997, Dan came to Alaska for the first time, camping for two weeks and traveling throughout the road system of Alaska. In 1998, he brought his wife and daughter back for two more weeks of camping, when he returned to Illinois, the factory he worked for had filed for bankruptcy and he was without a job.

He applied only for jobs in Alaska, and after almost 9 months of applying for jobs via telephone and Internet (and one more visit here looking for work) he finally was hired by a local air carrier. He came up in March of 1999, and his family followed in June of 1999.

As Dan became older, his passion for hunting with bow and arrow left and he began hunting with a camera instead. He has a passion for photographing both wildlife and scenic areas of Alaska and travels often in his spare time (never is he without his trusty Canon!). He has traveled all over the state pursuing photo opportunities and spends countless hours in the wilderness of Denali National Park and in the woods around Fairbanks.He truly is home in nature and has a concern for the vanishing wilderness and wildlife not only in Alaska but all over the world. His photographs are an attempt to bring wilderness and wildlife to those who are not fortunate enough to experience it for themselves. Dan will donate a portion of all profits from his photos to wilderness conservation.

2007 Artist In Residence Program

Gates of the ArcticNational Park and Preserve

National Park Service

U.S. Department of the Interior

Gates of the Arctic NP&P

201 First Ave

Fairbanks, AK 99701

About The Program The Artist in Residence program offers professional writers, composers, musicians, twoand three-dimensional visual artists, photographers, filmmakers, and artisans of all typesthe opportunity to pursue their art in a premier wilderness setting; Gates of the ArcticNational Park and Preserve.

The selected artist accompanies a Park Ranger on a backcountry patrol. Patrols mayaccommodate the artist to a certain extent, but artists must be both physically fit enoughto attempt such a journey and possess the skills and experience for extended, rigorouswilderness travel. The artists provide their own food, art supplies, camping andbackpacking gear, and transportation to and from Coldfoot, Alaska. The Park suppliestransportation originating and ending in Coldfoot, watercraft and associated equipmentfor float trips, and bear resistant food containers for all trips. Pets are not allowed.

The artist agrees to contribute one piece of work inspired by their residency to the parkand to make at least one public presentation about their experience within one year.Contributed works become park property and are placed on public display or performedwithin the community. Collaborative projects are considered and programs thatcoordinate with local schools and organizations are encouraged.

For the duration of their trip, resident artists are classified as National Park ServiceVolunteers In Parks.

A jury comprised of the Gates of the Arctic NP&P Chief of Operations and AIRProgram Coordinator, and a panel of three local Alaskan artists makes the selection.Selections are based on the demonstrated artistic merits of the applicant(s), on how theproposed art work will represent Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, itswilderness values and on how it will advance the preservation mission of the NationalPark Service and Gates of the Arctic NP&P.

Selections will be made without regard to race, religion, sex, marital status, or age;however, applicants must possess the ability, skills and experience to fully participatein the Park’s backcountry patrols.

voLunteer oF the month: Vi Robinson I came to the Fairbanks Arts Association in the late eighties for

job training. I learned may skills like bulk mailing and early lessons

on the computer. My greatest enlightenment was about the many,

many forms of art. I am a lifelong Alaskan, born and raised in

Chistochina through my teens. Unfortunately in my era there was

no school and so my foster mother read to us during the long

winter evenings. She read many classics like Lewis Caroll’s Alice in

Wonderland, which gave me great appreciation for literature into my

adult years. I really enjoy FAA’s Monthly Literary Readings in the Bear

Gallery and Gazebo Nights in summer months.

Lately I have been involved with the Dinners in the home

Program as a driver. I enjoy meeting all the visitors and

showing them the Fairbanks I have come to know over

forty years. I am so glad to have had the opportunity

to be involved with FAA. It has really enriched my life!

I am glad to have met so many creative and friendly

people. I am thankful for my time there.
