20. OU PARTNERS WITH NAC FOR HANDS-ON

EDUCATION PROJECTS

As many of you are aware, there was recently a bit of a scare at the Oklahoma State Capital regarding funding for the arts. As bills were being introduced this session, a Representative introduced House Bill 1895 that would eliminate funding to the Oklahoma Arts Council by 25% over each of the next four years, effectively ending the OAC by 2017. The good news is that it now appears that this bill will never see the light of day. How did this happen? I believe that it is due to a unified, grass roots movement by artists, arts organizations, and arts supporters through out the state who made their voices heard. Well done to everyone who wrote to their legislators, spoke to the media, and organized social media campaigns! Everyone really came together and started speaking about how important the arts are to our state, or children’s education, and our quality of life. While this was a scary moment for all of us with a stake in the arts here, it was also a great chance for us to brush up on our advocacy skills. The lessons we learned this past month and the talking points that were etched in our minds must not be forgotten now that this battle seems to have been won. This may not be the last we hear of these types of cuts to the state budget. The National Endowment for the Arts is constantly under fire and in danger of being cut from the Federal budget. And we should all use these lessons to help us when speaking to our smaller communities of the importance of a

thriving arts culture. Which brings me to the next big news in arts funding. On April 2nd, a vote to increase the Transient Guest Room Tax will be on the Norman ballot. This tax provides funding for the arts in Norman to the tune of approximately $275,000 annually. This is the first there has been a vote to increase this tax, and the results would be phenomenal for the arts in Norman. Every arts organization and program benefits directly from these funds. In addition to supporting the arts, this tax also supports the Norman Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Norman Parks Department. We hope that you, our fellow arts leaders, arts supporters, and artists, will help us spread the word the about the importance of passing this tax.

Here are few key talking points regarding this tax: •Norman Residents are NOT paying this tax. It is charged to guests who stay in our hotels! •Visitors to Norman are improving our quality of life •Our history speaks for itself. We have been excellent stewards of these funds for the past 30 years and have used them to create a positive and substantial impact on Norman •Arts mean big business in Norman. Every $1 that comes into the arts means $8 in economic impact here.

This is an exciting time for the arts in Norman with many good things ahead for us!

Through their work with over 200 artists (from musicians, to writers, to painters, to filmmakers) staff of the groundbreaking Artist INC program have identified the common behaviors of successful artist entrepreneurs. In their What Works/What Doesn’t? workshop they’ll share those behaviors and leave you ready to apply them to your own art practice.

The workshop includes discussion of:-Portfolio careers-Goal setting and planning-Communications strategy-Financial planning

The last 30 minutes of the workshop is dedicated to audience needs, so bring your questions.

These workshops are presented in by Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition with Norman Arts Council, City Arts Center, Oklahoma Film & Music Office, and The City of Oklahoma City Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs. These organizations are working together to present Artist INC in Oklahoma City in Fall 2013, with an application deadline of June 14, 2013. More details and application available soon.

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESSYOU KNOW HOW TO CREATE ... HERE’S SOME HELP WITH THE REST

Page 10: NAC MAG - February/March 2013

“Art of all kinds enriches all our lives, gives us sustenance, aids in emotional

expression, gives an avenue of raising awareness of social issues,

commemorates important historical events and people, can be an economic

boon to a region, is statisfying and gratifying for not only the creator but for the

beholder. When we forget to encourage and support art, we rob the world of beauty, expression

and lasting legacies of people finding meaningful expression that can aid in building a better society.

Funding of art programs has far reaching benefits that most people don’t realize. Really think of a world without

art. It’s not a very nice place at all.“-Mary Kennedy

“People don’t understand what all is involved in art and in its education. The most important is that it brings out designers. Without them we would not

have houses to live in, chairs to sit on, cars to drive, etc, etc. Paintings, sculpture and music, stimu-

lates out senses. We cannot live a functional life without it. I support it in a heartbeat.“

“Art is not a commodity that can be discussed in terms of financial viability. It is education. I will gladly fund education with

my tax dollars for the rest of my days.”-Chase Spivey

“Art is a quality of life investment . If Oklahoma is welcoming to people who want a high quality of life then investment in Art is a necessity. If we want to get rid of and avoid people who want a high quality of life then we

should eliminate state support for the Arts.“

-Mary Brown Boren

“Art education has given my young kids the possibility to imagine and explore their own ideas with a confidence

that it’s OK to share their own vision. Exposing them to all forms of art provided to us here in Oklahoma has enriched their lives. It inspires them to focus on the beauty and appreciate the happiness art brings. I treasure the times we get to talk about the feelings and thoughts they experience after visiting a museum or going to the theatre.“-Ida Fryhover

Peru and Oklahoma might not share many commonalities on the surface, but if you look a little closer, you’ll find some common threads, namely, a deep appreciation for the unbridled beauty and majesty of the horse.

Entre huellas y arenas — translating to “hoofprints in the sand” — is a collection of 37 bold photographs exploring the magnificence of Peru’s horses opening at MAINSITE Contemporary Art on Friday, March 8 with a gallery talk scheduled for 5:30 p.m., followed by an opening reception.

The exhibition features the work of two Peruvian artists: Sandra Cannock Graña and Alejandra Iturrizaga. The Peruvian Paso and Arabian horse breeds are highlighted, each photograph exposing the features and differences between the two.

The Norman Arts Council worked with Mocy Munoz (of Mocy Productions) and Honorary Consulate of Peru in the State of Oklahoma Enrique Villar Gambetta to arrange the exhibit’s debut in Oklahoma, which aims to travel across the country in hopes of promoting the cultural values of Peru.

Accompanying the show

is the publication of a hardcover book — featuring the photos on display — that will be available for sale at MAINSITE.

The work of Norman Arts Council Individual Artist Award winner Craig Swan will be on display in The Library.

Swan, who comes to Norman by way of Boston, says his work “has always been the product of tempering sweat-drenched aggression into something beautiful.” His show will combine street-art styled images, woodcarving and paint into final works that reside somewhere between figuration and abstraction.

Swan also has recently completed two works for The Norman Public Arts Board, Sun Dial (installed this past fall at the corner of W. Main and Webster) and Ziggy Starduck, a tribute to David Bowie as a part of PAB’s ongoing Duck Project.

The opening reception will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday, February 8 at MAINSITE Contemporary Art in conjunction with February’s 2nd Friday Circuit of Art. The exhibit will run through March 16 with a closing reception on Friday, March 8 from 6 to 10 p.m.

ON A ROLLNSAA OFFERS A WORKSHOP TO HELP YOU DEVELOP YOUR OWN MIDAS’ TOUCHNORMAN ARTISTS IN SPOTLIGHT OF OVAC’S MOMENTUM EXHIBIT

BY ERINN GAVAGHAN

Twice a year, each year, young artists and curators are brought together for an extravaganza of art called Momentum. Like much of the programming of the Oklahoma Visual Art Coalition, Momentum is an exhibit that is unique to Oklahoma and fosters a culture of supporting local talent in the visual arts. For the past eleven years, Momentum has been presenting the best of the best in the state’s young artists in an exciting atmosphere that showcases the under 30’s of the Oklahoma arts scene. For each exhibit, a curator and an emerging curator are selected to assemble the body of work that will be shown and also to select three artists to be “Spotlighted” in the exhibit. This year, two Norman artists have been selected as Spotlight artists. Congratulations to Matthey Kaney and Erin Latham! Matthew Kaney is a senior at the University of Oklahoma

in Media Arts. Of his work, he says, “My interests have always been somewhat scattershot, but they’re generally focused around electronic sculpture and computer programming. Along the way, I’ve experimented with things like writing, music, filmmaking, animation, web design, video game production, screen-printing, and book arts. A major theme in my work is communication: what forms, media, and technologies people use for communicating, and the ways those different media inform, frame, and distort our meaning.” While he considers himself an artist first, his preferred medium is not paint or marble but technology, a preference that forms the base for his Spotlight installation. American Arcade uses the platform of 1980s-era arcade games to comment on contemporary political issues. Erin Latham returned to Norman after receiving her Masters of

Fine Arts in Brooklyn. Her project for Spotlight uses traditional printmaking techniques to create a three-dimensional underwater space that viewers will walk through. “Right now I’m trying to figure out the mechanics of what is going to happen, things like tricking the viewer into thinking they are underwater with movement and light and space. It’s complicated but really fun for me to experiment with,” says Latham of the early stages of the project. Her work tends to focus on the idea of creating a sense of memory or nostalgia in the viewer through their interactions with her life-sized nature dioramas. Latham is also a teacher with the Firehouse Art Center. The installations by Kaney, Latham, and the third Spotlight Artsist, Zachary Preseley will be highlighted at Momentum OKC, March 1-2, 2013. Visit ovac-ok.org for more details.
