If you are an arts lover, this is probably the best time of the year in to be inBoston. Just this past month, the arts season kicked off in high gear with anextended, and very successful, 6th annual (ähts): the Boston arts festival.The festival set the stage for an event-filled season where residents and visi-tors can enjoy all that Boston has to offer. From downtown's Opera House toRiverside Theatre Works in Hyde Park, and from Fort Point Channel to JamaicaPlain Open Studios, the city is alive with theater, exhibitions, readings, danceand unique events that showcase the city's diversity.

This October we celebrate the official opening of the long-awaited RoseKennedy Greenway, the newest destination in the heart of the city where youcan enjoy the arts, relax in its plazas and gardens, or simply stroll the treelined walkways. Also in October, we will introduce Caliente, a new freeevent that celebrates the city's Latino culture through music and dance.

Within this issue of our arts calendar, you will find a detailed listing of morethan 300 events, most free, that are sure to meet individual tastes and enrichour lives. I encourage you to re-discover the traditional and take a chance onexperiencing something new.

Please join us. It's a perfect time to play tourist in your own backyard.

Mayor’s Hol iday Specia lCont inues to Give

During the year, many arts organiza-tions offer various programs to differ-ent segments of society leading toincreased arts participation and audi-ence development. Funding for suchprograms comes from different sourcesbut one important source is ticketsales. For many arts organizations,ticket sales during the Holiday periodhold the key for budget building.

During the Holiday season of 2007, theMayor's Office of Arts, Tourism &Special (MOATSE) Events, in partnershipwith ArtsBoston, celebrated the fourthMayor's Holiday Special to great suc-cess. The focus of the program wasstraight forward: to make attendingthe arts part of everyone's Boston holi-day traditions, and to power the artsas an economic engine that attractseven more people to the City's shop-ping, restaurants and hotels.

Primarily web-driven, the Mayor'sHoliday Special website created byArtsBoston served as a clearinghousefor all holiday show box offices. Thesite also highlighted many free holidayevents happening in the city.

"As holiday shows provide significantrevenue for arts organizations that sup-port their annual operating budgets,we targeted this time segment as oneto maximize," said Julie Burns, Directorof MOATSE.

The program demonstrated results thatwere above expectations. A total of$372,922 was earned for local artsgroups. The 2007 program brought$224,941 in half-price on-line salesdirectly to arts presenters' own budg-ets. This compares with $60,530 in2006. In the first week, 40% of ticketinventory was sold in due to theintense marketing efforts of MOATSEand ArtsBoston, and through partner-ships with Magic 106.7FM, Boston mag-azine and Boston Metro.

"We are particularly pleased to attrib-ute about 11-15% of the entire "BlackNativity" ticket sales directly to theMayor's Holiday Special," said Barry

Gaither, Director of the National Centerof Afro-American Artists adding, thatthe revenue would help underwrite pro-grams in 2008.

Boston Ballet's "Nutcracker" was also asucces, with the Holiday Special bring-ing in $80,979, that Artistic DirectorMikko Nissinen said would help strength-en ballet programs for 2008.

Jim Torres, Marketing Director forSpeakEasy Stage Company noted thatthe Mayor's Holiday Special accountedfor 40% of their overall sales even help-ing to facilitate an extension in the runof "The Mystery of Edwin Drood." Healso added "Even more dramatically, theMayor's Holiday Special can take creditfor helping us sell about 16-20% of ourregular-price ticket sales this season."

"The fact that companies like theSpeakEasy Stage Company are gettingresults like this from our program showsthat the Mayor's Holiday Special itself isgrowing to have longer term impacts,"said Julie Burns.

Catherine Peterson, Executive Directorfrom ArtsBoston agreed, "The Mayor'sHoliday Special not only helps artsorganizations during the holiday periodbut also generically markets them andthis helps bolster their subscriptionbase. This wonderful partnership doeshelp our treasured arts organizationsflourish and we are honored to be apart of that."

The program will run again for 2008 andpromises to be popular once again. "Ithink it is now a recognizable brand andpeople look for it," said Burns.

PaintBox: Boston artists take on city utilityboxes

PaintBox, a new pilot program organized bythe Boston Art Commission and funded byBoston Shines/Mayor's Office ofNeighborhood Services, has invited ten localartists as well as members of the Mayor'sMural Crew to design and paint neighborhoodutility boxes. PaintBox is geared towardsthe recognition and celebration of localartists. As artists take to the street to cre-ate art from the utilitarian objects, theirneighbors will get a chance to get to know alocal artist and talk to them about theirwork. Once professionally painted, theseutility boxes will be resistant to graffiti andwill bring both beauty and individualizedneighborhood character to the urbanstreetscape. The project was highlighted inThe Boston Sunday Globe City Weekly sec-tion on 9/21/08.

Charlestown artist Aimee Empey(www.aimeeempeyart.info) painted the firstutility box at the 2008 Boston Arts Festival.She transformed two utility boxes into glit-tering, whimsical artworks featuring BostonLight and the Boston Harbor - perfect for itsharborside location at Christopher ColumbusPark. Having participated in the Boston CowParade, Aimee is familiar with creating funpieces of art for public enjoyment.

Throughout the fall, local artists will paintselect utility boxes in various neighborhoodsof the city including East Boston, SouthBoston, West Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, theSouth End, Columbia Road, Neponset Ave.,Mattapan Square, Codman Square, Blue HillAve., Hyde Park and Roslindale.

Blue Man mural crew

For three weeks over the summer, theMayor's Mural Crew created a 16'x20" muralat the Children's Museum over the summer

for Blue Man Group. The team of tal-ented, young artists transformed ablank wall on the boardwalk of theBoston Children's Museum with somevibrant paint colors, brushes, hardwork and creativity. Their Blue ManGroup inspired mural titled"Connectivity" illustrated how we areall connected to this city, to the artsand most importantly to each other.The project was accomplished collab-oratively with Blue Man Group, MIKEFM, and the Children's Museum.

Updated public art guidelines

The Boston Art Commission has updat-ed both the permanent and tempo-rary public art guidelines for the Cityof Boston. Please visitwww.cityofboston.gov/arts/visual/

and select the link to Public Art to learnmore about bringing art to your neigh-borhood!The Boston Art Commission exerciseslegal authority to approve and site newpublic art on property owned by the Cityof Boston. These artworks range fromtraditional and new media public artpieces to municipal design elements,such as wayfinding systems and artisticlighting. In addition, the ArtCommission preserves and protects allmonuments, paintings, statues, foun-tains and memorials on City property.The dynamic behind these efforts is thebelief that artworks should not be limit-ed to museums and galleries but shouldbe woven throughout the fabric of theurban landscape and thus, integratedmore successfully into the daily life ofall Boston residents.

NEW WORLDby Lisa Beatman

The raggedy mouse jumped shipand scuttled across cobblestonesinto a dark doorway.He shivered awhilequivering in a cornertill he got his land-paws.This new worldwas all coal-stink and pandemonium,the shouts of men caughtby low ceilings and careened back,twofold in strength.

He'd got used to the open air,the see-sawing of waves,since the schooner hadalways found its center,used to the daunting blueabove and green below,the lovely reek of guanoand piles of fermenting fish-heads.

Here, it was dark overmuchthough gaslights bared the bonesof looms pumping night and day,but there was food aplentydropped by the shadow figuresat their brief suppers,crusts scented with the tall grassof fields he'd almost put out of mind,red rinds, sticky with Gouda,and the new taste -rich broth of knackered horsesboiled down into an irresistible paste.The paper was gnawable,though not the cream-vellumfrom the old place,and the bits of woolcarded and cast asidewere golden with lanolinand seed husks yet lodged within,but best of allthere was no ship's cat.

Caliente! A New Latin MusicFestival for City Hall PlazaSalsa legend Tito Rojas headlines inaugural event

Lisa Beatman’s poems are from her book, ManufacturingAmerica: Poems from the Factory Floor published by IbbetsonPress (Somerville, MA), 2008. These are insightful and realisticpoems about immigrant factory workers and about workingamong an-almost underground population in America. Thepoems are from the laborer’s point of view and are thereforehonest and never patronizing. This is something rare inAmerican literature: realistic poems about working peoplethat are more empathetic and documentary than political.

Mayor Thomas M. Menino has announced the inaugural production ofCaliente!, a celebration of Latino culture through music and dance. Thisfree outdoor event will take place on City Hall Plaza on Sunday, October12, from 2 - 6pm. The program will be headlined by salsa legend TitoRojas. "Throughout our city there are Latin events happening every weekand this is a great way to celebrate the Latin culture that enriches ourcommunities," said Mayor Menino.

One of the most popular acts currently on the Latin music circuit, TitoRojas, was born in Puerto Rico and broke into the Latin Billboards hit listwith his 1995 album Por Propio Derecho (On my own right) winning him"Best Salsa Artist of the Year." The hits continued into the 1990s with Pal'Pueblo (1997) and Alegrias y Penas (1999) (Happiness and Sadness.) A popu-lar Las Vegas performer, Tito Rojas released a live record from Las Vegasentitled Tito Rojas Live: Autenticamente En Vivo.

Ensuring that there is something for everyone, the rest of the programincludes a rich variety of the Latin arts: From Brazil comes the musicaldance troupe, AfroBrazil; reggaeton, Ballistic; Latin American dancetroupe, Ritmo en Acción; Colombian music and dance troupe, Achuira &Bajucol and Dominican Merengue orchestra, Alto Honor.

Caliente! is produced by the Mayor's Office of Arts, Tourism & Special Events andsponsored by John Hancock, El Planeta, Rumba and Metro Boston, in partnershipwith Casa de La Cultura / Center for Latino Arts.For further information call 617-635-3911 or visit www.cityofboston.gov/arts

Intersection: The Greenway OpeningThe parks are here! After years of BigDig construction, it's time to celebratethe Greenway parks in downtownBoston with a free park-wide Festivalon October 4. The City of Boston andthe Rose F. Kennedy GreenwayConservancy, (the steward of theGreenway) present this once-in-a-life-time celebration to commemorate avision realized…a park where there wasonce an elevated highway!

The Rose F. Kennedy Greenway encom-passes gardens, plazas, and tree-linedpromenades stretching over a mile fromthe North End to Chinatown. Offeringbeautiful places for relaxation withinthe rhythm of the urban environment,the Greenway is a key feature of themodern reinvention of Boston, BostonHarbor, the South Boston Waterfrontand the Harbor Islands. Here diversecultures, open space and history inter-sect.

On October 4, with the backdrop of thisyoung park, dozens of local organiza-tions and individual artists will pay trib-ute to Boston's rich cultural heritagethrough art, dance and music. An inter-active cell phone-enabled treasure huntwill lead visitors to learn surprisingfacts about Boston's history while othercontests, games and Go Green activi-ties will showcase the park as an inter-section between city life and sustain-ability.

"The Greenway is a place where fami-lies and individuals of all ages from all

of Boston's neighborhoods will gatherand feel welcomed. The Greenwayparks will be maintained by theConservancy using sustainable land-scape practices. The Opening Festivalwill be the first event to fulfill thevision of a grand civic space thatembraces sustainability, city life anddiversity," says Nancy Brennan, execu-tive director of the Rose F. KennedyGreenway Conservancy. "We'll havesomething for everyone, from familiesto seniors. We invite you to see theparks from the top of a Ferris wheel.Commemorate mentors honored in theMother's Walk. Listen to local bands andrenowned musicians. Cheer for yourneighborhood dance troupe. Learn todance. Win prizes. Be in a parade. Getfit. Go Green!" Brennan urges visitors touse the Conservancy website,www.rosekennedygreenway.org, toschedule their Greenway OpeningFestival visit and to sign up for textmessage alerts tailored to areas ofinterest.

The Greenway Opening Festival is thefirst in a series of annual festivals andpublic programs created by theConservancy in partnership with com-munity organizations and public trans-portation agencies to connect the

Greenway with neighborhoods.Continuing the model of public engage-ment used to create the Greenway, theCity and the Conservancy work withneighborhood groups and arts and per-formance groups to attract participantsof all ages from downtown, the neigh-borhoods and the greater metropolitanarea.

The Greenway is divided into four dis-tricts, from north to south: North EndParks, Wharf District Parks, DeweySquare Parks, and Chinatown Park.Visitors are encouraged to use publictransportation to get to the Greenway.All MBTA lines have stops along theGreenway and both the North Stationand South Station commuter rail hubsare a short walk from the Greenway.The Greenway Opening Festival willtake place Saturday, October 4th on theGreenway from the North End toChinatown (between Atlantic Avenueand Surface Artery).

by Gabrielle Bouliane

The slim figure of a woman steps light-ly onto the empty stage in front of anaudience of 3,500. Aside from a spot-light and a microphone, there is noth-ing between her and her audience. Yetwhen she opens her mouth, transformsher body into her instrument and therich alto voice booms out a story ofher family, her life and her culturalheritage from Nigeria, your mind istransported without the need for anyfurther embellishments.

Iyeoka Ivie Okoawo is one of a newgeneration of poets and spoken wordartists who have made an internationalcareer from her writing and perform-ance. Based in Boston and a native ofMission Hill, Iyeoka has been expandingthe reach of her voice for the pastseven years, progressing to becomingone of the top ten slam poets in thenation, and then on to such feats asperforming her original work beforethe President of Rwanda, gracing thecover of Leverage Magazine, becomingthe voice of a new Discovery HealthChannel branding campaign, and win-ning the New England Urban MusicAward for the Best Female SpokenWord Poet of 2006.

With all these accomplishments behindher, the future is even brighter. On theagenda for this year alone are fournew outstanding opportunities for herto use her voice to continue to makethe world a better place.

First, Iyeoka recently committed tobeing the official Spokesperson for anon-governmental organization calledthe Amenawon Foundation. The foun-dation is dedicated to making improve-ments in the smaller villages inNigeria, using the help of first-genera-tion Africans living in the UnitedStates. As a private agency workingdirectly with the local Nigerian com-munity, the Amenawon Foundation isable to rapidly meet the needs ofNigerian residents in their chosenareas of infrastructure, education andpublic health education. As spokesper-

son for the agency, Iyeoka is able tospread the word of the agency's missionthrough her writing and performances.

"It has always been a dream of mine tobe directly involved in efforts toimprove conditions in the countrywhere my parents were born. Spokenword allows me to pass on informationand reach audiences unaware of thesituation in rural Nigeria. One of thereasons why I am so enthusiastic aboutthe mission of the AmenawonFoundation is because it focuses effortson the smaller villages that are oftenneglected by the government and fund-ing initiatives from larger organiza-tions."

Next, Iyeoka is a part of three pro-grams that will focus on youth in 2008.She received a 2008 grant from theMassachusetts Cultural Council, a stateagency, for an artist-in-residency pro-gram that took place in Hawaii thissummer. Iyeoka collaborated with theOng King Arts Center on Oahu to offerher powerful performance and writingworkshops to local youth. The programwill center upon reflections of identity,

hope and Mahatma Ghandi's concep-tion of "being the change that youwant to see in the world". Iyeoka'sworkshops took youth through exercis-es that help them access their emo-tions surrounding issues of culture andpersonal identity. The aspiring per-formers then coalesced these feelingsthrough writing, vocal training, musicand song incorporation and bodymovement exercises into potent worksthat will grab an audience's attention.The workshops culminated in a per-formance at the Ong King Arts Center.She is also leading a similar grantedprogram through the Wayland HighSchool Residency working with EnglishDepartment and the Jazz Ensembleteaching spoken-word and music tech-niques for creative writing and musiccollaborations for purposes of per-formance.

Finally, she worked with a partnershipof two Boston-area non-profits, TheCloud Foundation and Opera Boston tocreate a workshop for teens thissummer. A group of teen writers andpoets were recruited from the Cloud'sTeen Spoken Word Curatorial Programand created new dialogue based onthe music from Carmen. With her aid,the teens created approximately 20minutes of dialogue to be interspersedbetween the opera's vocal works,creating a new story in this classicmasterpiece.

Would you like to catch a performanceand see what the excitement is about?Iyeoka has already performed at theBoston Arts Festival but you can checkher website for more information onthis young upcoming performer:www.myspace.com/iyeoka. She alsohosts an event along with The PressProject called the Rock by Funk Series,which showcases an eclectic mix ofpoets and hip-hop bands and worldmusic.

Check out http://www.iyeoka.comand keep an eye on this dynamic artist- there's no telling where she'll gofrom here.
