Annual Report Fiscal Year 2007

IllInoIs Arts CounCIl An AgenCy of the stAte of IllInoIs

To Governor Rod R. Blagojevich and members of the Illinois State Legislature:

I have the honor to submit to you the Annual Report of the Illinois Arts Council for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2007.

Respectfully,

Shirley R. Madigan Chairman

ANNUAL REPORT FOREWORDWe at the Illinois Arts Council believe that creativity is the most important economic, social, and civic force in the world, and that art is the fundamental fiber of our society.

Our mission is: “Building a strong, creative, and connected Illinois through the engagement of all Illinoisans in the pursuit of, participation in, and enjoyment of the arts.”

Since 1965, the Illinois Arts Council has been instrumental in supporting Illinois’ highly acclaimed and diverse cultural community. Thousands upon thousands of partnerships throughout our history have helped to maintain the highest standards of excellence in the arts while expanding the accessibility of this artistic wealth to children and adults in every corner of the state.

In Fiscal Year 2007, the Illinois Arts Council reviewed 2,700 grant applications from every region of the state. Of those, nearly 1,700 were approved, for a total of more than $18 million. These grants ranged from $100 in fee support for Artstour performances in libraries, park districts, school organizations, traditional presenters, senior citizen centers, hospitals, festivals, local arts agencies, and community organizations to major general operating support for not-for-profit organizations in the areas of Arts-in-Education, Dance, Ethnic and Folk Arts, Literature, Local Arts Agencies, Media Arts, Multi-Disciplinary Arts, Music, Presenters Development, Theater, and Visual Arts.

In large part, this annual report will tell you the story of the Illinois Arts Council in Fiscal Year 2007. There is also a great deal of the story written in what we call “invisible ink.” If you were a recipient of one of these grants, or if you or a friend or loved one participated in one of the programs or performances made possible by Arts Council support, you know what I mean. This is the part where people get involved – the way a young girl performs Shakespeare, and the tears streaming down her proud grandfather’s face – and it’s at the heart of everything we do. Invisible, yet indelible, in that just as impossible as it would be to capture or fully relate all these experiences in an annual report, surely those involved will never forget and forever be affected by all we have seen, heard, and deeply felt.

On behalf of the Arts Council staff, it is an honor to serve the State of Illinois and a true privilege to support the arts and cultural community in the Land of Lincoln.

chAiRmAN’s sTATEmENTAs I continue to work, teach, and counsel children of all ages in childhood education, juvenile justice, and in various educational settings, I often recall an experience from earlier in my career. Many years ago, when I was in social services, I worked with young children who were living in pretty traumatic, abusive, all-around not-good situations. These children would come into my office before going to custody court where their futures were about to be determined, and they were already hard on the outside. They wouldn’t talk to me, or anyone. They kept everything bottled up inside. It was frightening.

After a while, I started handing out paper and crayons. The children kind of looked around, and then they drew. And then we’d talk about what they’d drawn, and they’d open up. They’d start to express what it was like to live the way they were living, and that was a step in the right direction.

That is just one small example. Ask anyone in this report and they’ll give you five or fifty more. It may not have seemed so small, however, for the children who drew those pictures. In fact, as study after study -- from economists, to sociologists, to neuroscientists -- continue to confirm, the arts can have a profound affect on people of any age, of any ethnic or socioeconomic background, and no matter where or how they live. It is through the arts that everyone can reach their full potential.

This is why the Illinois Arts Council believes so strongly in active engagement with all Illinoisans, ensuring that residents of all ages and abilities have the opportunity to participate in, and experience, the arts and culture. The arts are the basis for a quality education, providing students with the opportunity to express their creativity and develop their imaginations. Arts and culture make for a better quality of life as individuals and in our communities, both as we grow up and as we grow old. And the economic impact of the arts is substantial, driving the kinds of development that people want and sustaining itself many times over. It is the Council’s overarching goal for 2007-2012 to build public will for the important role and value of the arts and creativity in building vital, prosperous, livable communities. As the saying goes: “The journey of a thousand miles begins with that one step.”

As Chairman of the Illinois Arts Council, I have seen many challenges – as well as rewards – and I have always maintained that ours is among the leading state arts agencies in the country. Never has this been more the case than in Fiscal Year 2007. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Council members for their dedication to Illinois’ creative talent, the peer panels who bring expertise and objectivity to the grants award process, and our hardworking professional staff.

The Illinois Arts Council has been providing strong leadership to our state’s arts and cultural community since 1965. In the coming year, the Illinois Arts Council will remain committed to the pursuit of excellence in everything we do and in the caliber of arts experiences for all Illinoisans. I have complete faith that together we will continue to carry forward our mission: “Building a strong, creative, and connected Illinois through the engagement of all Illinoisans in the pursuit of, participation in, and enjoyment of the arts.”

The arts are all around us in Illinois. While we rejoice at this great wealth and diversity –- and in the knowledge that we have laid a strong foundation for support –- it is critical, particularly in these difficult economic times, that we recognize the heart and soul the arts lend to our lives, our communities, and our entire state. While major strides have been made to expand cultural awareness into every corner of the Land of Lincoln, there remain real disparities in who gets connected with the arts and who does not, particularly in poor inner-urban and rural areas. We must vigorously pursue any avenue that is available to the Illinois Arts Council to make this state the best it can be for its people.

I wish to thank each of you for your support: past, present, and future.

Sincerely,

Shirley R. Madigan Chairman

PURPOsE & FUNDiNg sOURcEs

In 1965, the Illinois General Assembly created the Illinois Arts Council (IAC) for the purpose of encouraging development of the arts throughout Illinois. This state agency assists artists, arts organizations, and other community organizations that present arts programming by providing financial and technical assistance. The Governor and General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts provide funds annually to the Illinois Arts Council.

ThE cOUNciL & iTs AcTiviTiEs

The agency is governed by a Council comprised of up to twenty-one private citizens, from throughout Illinois, who are appointed by the Governor. Chosen for their demonstrated commitment to the arts, the Council members are charged with developing the state’s public arts policy, fostering quality culturally diverse programs, and approving grants expenditures. These members serve in a voluntary capacity for four-year terms. The Illinois Arts Council meets tri-annually to act upon grant recommendations, establish policies, and review agency programs. In Fiscal Year 2007, the Council met on the following dates in the following locations:

August 25, 2006, Little Black Pearl, Chicago January 19, 2007, Victory Gardens Theatre, Chicago May 10, 2007, Illinois State Library, Springfield

ADvisORy PANELs & JURORs

Advisory panel members perform an invaluable service to the Illinois Arts Council. These dedicated individuals from throughout the state assist the Council review program applications and lend expertise in policy and program development. Their professional recommendations to the Illinois Arts Council are a vital link between the agency and Illinois’ arts community.

Advisory juries are comprised of arts professionals who reside out of state. Jurors are chosen on the basis of their professional achievements and broad knowledge of the arts to represent a wide range of artistic styles and aesthetic concerns. Panel members and jurors are assembled to provide a balance of geographical representation, cultural diversity, age, and gender.

Illinois Arts Council Chairman Shirley R. Madigan and Executive Director Terry A. Scrogum served as ex-officio on each of the 2007 Advisory Panels. In addition, Illinois Arts Council Vice Chairman Rhoda A. Pierce served as ex-officio on the Partners in Excellence Panel.

sTRATEgic DiREcTiONs 2007-2012At the foundation of the planning process for the Illinois Arts Council’s Strategic Directions 2007-2012 were four basic questions: What do the arts mean to the people of Illinois? How and why do people participate in the arts? How do the arts add value to their lives and their communities? And what role should the Illinois Arts Council play in making their vision a reality?

“The Strategic Directions constitute a blueprint for strengthening communities by building a better future for the arts in the State of Illinois. The values and objectives the Council have enumerated will ensure that our children receive opportunities to participate in quality arts activities in their schools or in other community arts programs; artists are recognized who contribute to the state’s rich and diverse artistic legacy; that creative vitality will be fostered and made sustainable statewide; and that significant strength will be added to the State of Illinois’ creative economy.” -Shirley R. Madigan, Illinois Arts Council Chairman

Mission: “Building a strong, creative, and connected Illinois through the engagement of all Illinoisans in the pursuit of, participation in, and enjoyment of the arts.”

cORE vALUEs Access is not enough; we believe in active engagement with all Illinoisans, ensuring that residents of all ages and abilities have the opportunity to participate in, and experience, the arts and culture.

We appreciate, respect, and are committed to supporting the rich diversity of the arts and culture in Illinois.

We are committed to the pursuit of excellence in everything we do and in the caliber of arts experience for all Illinoisans.

We strive to cultivate long-term sustainability in the vitality of our creative spirit and the pathways through which that creativity is channeled by and to the people of Illinois.

Just as art is meant to be shared with others, we believe in partnership and collaboration in all aspects of our work, and we encourage collaboration between the arts and cultural community in Illinois and the broader community in our state and our country, and around the world.

OvERARchiNg gOAL

To build public will for the important role and value of the arts and creativity in building vital, prosperous, livable communities.

ObJEcTivEs

A growing number of Illinoisans will understand and affirm the role and value of the arts and creativity to themselves, their community, and our state.

The arts and cultural community statewide will be stronger and better connected – to each other and to the broader community – and will use these new connections to advance a more vital and robust creative landscape for the entire state.

All Illinoisans – particularly children and those who are currently underserved – will experience a significant increase in their opportunities to participate in, learn from, and enjoy the arts.

The Illinois Arts Council will be a focused, efficient and effective organization, better equipped to anticipate and respond to the needs and opportunities of the arts and cultural community across the state.

ThE EDUcATiON LEADERs iNsTiTUTE Striving to make powerful, sustainable, thriving arts education systems throughout the nation

The Education Leaders Institute (ELI), established in Fiscal Year 2007 by the NEA in partnership with the Illinois Arts Council, brings together school leaders, legislators, policy makers, educators, consultants, and scholars from throughout the country to envision a healthy national education environment founded on powerful arts education programs.

The ELI strives to make powerful, sustainable, and thriving arts education systems throughout the nation. The Council will partner with the Illinois State Board of Education and the Illinois Arts Alliance, a statewide advocacy agency, to assemble leaders from up to five states for participation in these three-day conferences, forums supporting intensive discussion of prominent arts education issues to foster pioneering thinking on K-12 arts learning. Designed with an environment for thought, learning, and reflection, the ELI will enable states to share their progress and challenges on specific topics, receiving feedback and insight from one another while drawing on national experts from fields beyond arts education.

POETRy OUT LOUD: NATiONAL REciTATiON cONTEsT

The Illinois Arts Council invited all Illinois high schools to participate in the 2007 Poetry Out Loud: National Recitation Contest, a national program sponsored by the NEA and the Poetry Foundation. Poetry Out Loud seeks to foster the next generation of literary readers by building on the resurgence of poetry as an oral art form, as seen in the slam poetry movement and the popularity of rap music among youth.

Through Poetry Out Loud, students can master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about their literary heritage.

Starting at the classroom level in November, participating teachers received free multimedia curriculum materials augmenting their regular poetry curriculum with poetry recitation and a classroom-level competition. School-level recitation champions compete to advance to the state and then national levels. In 2007, Poetry Out Loud awarded more than $100,000 in prizes to students and schools at the state and national levels.

AmERicAN mAsTERPiEcEs: ThREE cENTURiEs OF ARTisTic gENiUs

The NEA’s American Masterpieces: Three Centuries of Artistic Genius program was developed to introduce Americans to the best of their cultural and artistic legacy, and to celebrate our rich and extraordinary evolution, through touring, local presentations, and arts education programs across all art forms that will reach all the American people. Through American Masterpieces, the NEA will sponsor performances, exhibitions, tours, and educational programs across all art forms that will reach large and small communities in all 50 states. With Fiscal Year 2007 funds, the Illinois Arts Council chose to focus on Illinois’ rich legacy of dance.

ARTs-iN-EDUcATiON REsiDENcy

The Illinois Arts Council’s Arts-in-Education Residency Program provides support to Illinois schools and not-for-profit organizations for professional artist residencies lasting from two weeks to six months.

The Arts-in-Education Artists Roster

Nearly ninety artists and performing arts companies are currently included in the Arts-in-Education Artists Roster. The Roster includes teaching artists from a variety of disciplines, including creative writing, dance, ethnic or traditional art forms, interdisciplinary arts, media arts, music, theater, and visual arts. Artists must apply for inclusion in the Roster, and are juried by a statewide panel of arts professionals based on quality of work, record of professional achievements, and skills and experience as educators.

As a professional artist teaching and creating his or her art at the residency site, the artist-in-residence can inspire one classroom, one teacher, one school district, or an entire community to integrate the arts into its ongoing activities and become a vital part of everyone’s learning experience.

EThNic & FOLk ARTs mAsTER/APPRENTicE PROgRAm AWARDs

Master Artist/Apprentice Relationship Preserves Illinois’ Cultural Heritage

The Master Apprentice Program recognizes the need for structured opportunities to pass on traditional arts as part of the preservation of the Illinois’ cultural heritage. The program fosters this traditional teaching and learning relationship by providing a $2,000 honorarium to the master artist and a $1,000 stipend to the apprentice.

The Master/Apprentice Program generally supports art forms found in informal rather than institutional settings. A “Master Artist” is an individual recognized within his or her community as an exemplary practitioner of his or her traditional or classical ethnic art form. An “Apprentice” is an individual with some experience in a traditional or classical ethnic art form who is committed to attaining mastery of that art.

Awards are based on the recommendation of three out-of-state jurors who are cultural specialists: Craig Miller of Salt Lake City, UT; Guha Shankar of Baltimore, MD; and Amy Skillman of Harrisburg, PA; and one in-state, non-voting juror: Jacqueline McGrath, PhD of Glen Ellyn, IL.

The following individuals received Fiscal Year 2007 Ethnic and Folk Arts Master Apprentice Program Awards:

Master Artist Tatsu Aoki of Oak Park has been awarded a grant to teach the Japanese Shamisen to Amy Homma of Chicago.

Master Artist Sushmita Arunkumar of Bolingbrook has been awarded a grant to teach Bharatanatyam to Sanjana Ravi of Naperville.

Tapan Bhattacharyya of Homewood has been awarded a grant to teach Hindustani vocal music to Saagar Ravi of Naperville.

Master Artist San Bun of Chicago has been awarded a grant to teach Cambodian music to Paul Arun Chhorm of Chicago.

Master Artist Sean Cleland of Chicago has been awarded a grant to teach Irish Fiddling to Kathleen Turek of Forest Park.
