outside Missoula, and 20% were from outside Glacier country. The greatest number of inquiries came from the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene area. Approximately 15 states were represented by ticket sales.

CHAIRMAN BERGSAGEL asked if the event is a five-day festival. Ms. Kaplan said the main event is a five-day festival, with lectures and films shouldering each end of the week.

CHAIRMAN BERGSAGEL asked if the Cultural Exchange assisted arts organizations that participate with grant writing and fundraising. Ms. Kaplan stated that last year the exchange did all the fundraising and re-funded some of the groups that participated. The exchange does provide advice on grant writing, but does not directly write grants for organizations.

BUDGET ITEM #578 MISSOULA COMMUNITY ACCESS TV:

Informational Testimony: Mary Canty, Assistant Director, Missoula Community Access Television, spoke on behalf of their recommended grant of $7,500 for the Media Arts in Education project. EXHIBIT 3. A written copy of her testimony was provided. EXHIBIT 4. She stated that they originally planned to have an artist-in-residence in Missoula City Schools for two years; the recommended amount of $7,500 will allow them to do a one-year project. She asked that the committee hold the line at $7,500.

BUDGET ITEM #561 DAWSON COUNTY ARTS UNLIMITED:

Informational Testimony: REP. JOHN JOHNSON, HD 23, Dawson, spoke on behalf of Dawson County Arts Unlimited's recommended grant of $5,000 for their gallery. EXHIBIT 5. He said the gallery would use the reduced recommended grant amount to assist in operations, maintenance, and for travel to other arts associations.

Questions. Responses. and Discussion: CHAIRMAN BERGSAGEL asked what percent would be used for travel and for rent. REP. JOHNSON said he did not have that information.

CHAIRMAN BERGSAGEL asked what type of gallery it is. REP. JOHNSON said it is mainly a gallery for local artists work but has had some visiting artists to work with children.

Bill Pratt, Montana Arts Council, said the grant application requested $746 for travel and $2,400 for rent. REP. JOHNSON said those amounts would be reduced due to the smaller grant.

CHAIRMAN BERGSAGEL asked where the balance of the grant would go. Mr. Pratt said the contingency mandates that the grant can only be used for travel and rent. The figures given to the committee were for one year of the biennium.

BUDGET ITEM #572 SQELIX'U/AQLCMAKNIK CENTER:

Informational Testimony: Shelly Fyant McClure, Director,

930121JL.HM1


of 7

Sqelix'u/Aqlcmaknik Center, spoke on behalf of their recommended grant amount of $15,000 for the Native American Literature Workshop. EXHIBIT 6. She explained that the minimum cost of the project is $55,000, but the recommended amount was for $15,000. Realizing that there is little likelihood of the committee increasing the grant by that much, Ms. McClure asked the committee to consider instead the center's other grant application.

BUDGET ITEM #571 SQELIX'U/AQLCMAKNIK CENTER: Tape 1:A:900

Informational Testimonv: Ms. McClure explained that this grant request for $4,500 for the Dance Troupe Performances will allow the program to expand. EXHIBIT 7. She provided information on the Center. EXHIBIT 8.

Questions, Responses, and Discussion: CHAIRMAN BERGSAGEL asked if she was asking that the first grant application be dropped, and if the center preferred that the committee fund the Dance Troupe request. Ms. McClure said that is their wish.

BUDGET ITEM #568 CENTER FOR NATIVE AMERICAN STUDIES:

Informational Testimony: Marilyn Wessel, Montana Stata University, spoke in favor of their recommended grant of $4,000 for Native American Awareness Week 1994 and 1995. EXHIBIT 9. She stated an arts emphasis is being added onto the week for the next two years; therefore, they have requested a grant to help with bringing in artists and performers.

Questions. Responses, and Discussion: SEN. BOB HOCKETT asked the Arts Council if they have anticipated requests from groups doing similar pow-wows if this group gets funding. Mr. Pratt said there are other.pow-wows associated with colleges and universities, but he has no information as to whether these funds would be targeted by these organizations. He said the Arts Council often gets requests from Native American organizations to fund pow-wows, but traditionally does not provide funds for them. If the Cultural Trust begins to get a large number of applications for this type of activity, guidelines will have to proposed.

SEN. HOCKETT asked if admission was charged for the pow-wow. Ms. Wessel said no admission is charged.

BUDGET ITEM #556 VERY SPECIAL ARTS: . Tape No. 1:B:002

Informational Testimony: Katrina Ruhmland, Executive Director, Very Special Arts, spoke on behalf of their recommended grant of $10,000 to develop self-sustaining chapters in the state, and to develop a program for Native Americans.

930121JL.HMl


of 7

Questions, Responses, and Discussion: CHAIRMAN BERGSAGEL asked where their pilot project with Native Americans would generate future funds to continue the project. Ms. Ruhmland said that part would probably come from the National Very Special Arts Organization which has been very interested in the project. She does not yet know where other funds will come from.

CHAIRMAN BERGSAGEL asked if she was asking for a specific twoyear project, with the possibility of coming back for more funds the next biennium. Ms. Ruhmland stated that was correct.

SEN. ETHEL HARDING asked what type of fundraising strategies would be developed by the chapters. Ms. Ruhmland stated that each chapter would have its own board of directors and fundraising plans, but the strategy for organizing chapters has yet to be developed.

SEN. HOCKETT asked how the past grant for administrative and artistic support was used. Ms. Ruhmland said the previous director dispersed that grant money and she is not completely knowledgeable about his activities. She does know that he developed "Access the Arts," a program that made sites more accessible to the handicapped and assisted in making a playground handicapped-user-friendly.

BUDGET ITEM #550 MlJSEUM OF FINE ARTS, UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA:

Informational Testimony: Dennis Kern, Museum of Fine Arts, University of Montana, spoke on behalf of their recommended grant of $9,000 to prepare a book as a companion to the Fra Dana Exhibit. EXHIBIT 12. He presented a slide show on the Fra Dana exhibit to the committee.

Questions. Responses, and Discussion: SEN. HOCKETT stated that he believed what was being done is great. It will preserve the history of a Montana woman.

Mr. Kern informed the committee that the exhibit will be at the Holter Museum in Helena during February.

BUDGET ITEM #541 HOLTER MlJSEUM OF ART, INC: Tape No. 1:B:562

Informational Testimony: Dorothy Kinsley, Executive Director, Young Audiences of Western Montana, spoke on behalf of their recommended grant of $7,500 for an outreach program. EXHIBIT 15. She stated that the reduced grant of $7,500 would affect the

930121JL.HMI


of 7

program adversely. Travel to rural schools is expensive, and all of the $5,000 to be received from the Trust in FY93 is committed to funding artists' visits to schools. Additional funding will be required to meet all their commitments. Raising the cost of programs would impact the ability of schools to pay for performances. She stated the organization will fully utilize the amount recommended, and respectfully asked that the committee consider funding them at the $10,000 level they have received in the past.

Tape 1:B:002

Questions, Responses, and Discussion: CHAIRMAN BERGSAGEL asked what schools are charged for performances~ Ms. Kinsley stated that schools pay the artists' fees which vary from $50 to $135.

BUDGET ITEM #614H~MONTANA INDIAN ART AND CULTURAL ASSOCIATION:

Informational Testimony: Mr. Pratt showed slides regarding the Annual Symposium. (Testimony presented on January 19, 1993.)

BUDGET ITEM #503 THE BIG SKY ASSOCIATION FOR THE ARTS: Tape No. 2:A:002

Informational Testimony: Bill Rost, General Manager,'~he Big Sky Association for the Arts, spoke on behalf of their grant request for artistic support of the Big Sky Music Festival. EXHIBIT 16. He provided a written copy of his testimony. EXHIBIT 17. Their grant was not recommended for funding. Mr. Rost responded to specific remarks of the Advisory Council. The $40,000 profit shown on their grant application was an error; they ended up with a $10,000 to $12,000 net gain after the festival. He provided a copy of their grant application EXHIBIT 18 and a corrected budget for FY 1992-1993 EXHIBIT 19.

Questions, Responses, and Discussion: REP. FRANCIS BARDANOUVE asked if the festival is in the Big Sky resort complex. Mr. Rost stated the festival was seven miles from the resort, and performances are held in a large tent.

BUDGET ITEM #521 HELENA ARTS CENTER: Tape No. 2:A:464

Informational Testimonv: Carol Novotne, Director, Helena Arts Center, spoke on behalf of their recommended grant of $3,000 for the rural outreach project. EXHIBIT 20. She stated that they are a new applicant to the Cultural Trust and are looking to establish a granting history with the trust.

Questions, Resoonses, and Discussion: SEN. HARDING asked if the instructors teach a variety of art forms when visiting rural communities. Ms. Novotne said that the community looks over the list of artists and the kinds of art methods they teach, and then choose the one they have the most interest in. The artists

930121JL.HMl

typically get paid $100 - $150 to teach all day. The grant will allow them to get to more rural areas without charging more money.

ANNOUNCEMENTS/DISCUSSION

Dear Sir:

EXHIBIT __ ~~ __ DATE~ ___ )-_~_I_-_?_~ __ __ $B'

artist

1-19-93

I have been asked by Maeta Kaplan of the Missoula Cultural Exchange to write to you concerning the Missoula Cultural Exchange. I am a local artist who is concerned about the role of arts in my community. I first became involved with MCE when Ms. Kaplan approached me with the offer to organize an exhibition program in the office spaces.

What resulted was an alternative space for artists to exhibit the~r work in a non-commercial environment. Allowing artists to showcase their work, the gallery brings forth a cross section of ftrtists from children to international artists that live in our community:This directly impacts artists who live here by bringing their work to the community and it impacts the community by introducing the diversity of the work. Some artists have no direct link to the community other than this gallery. And it is to the MCErs credit that the community is brought to the artists.

The Gallery has been well received both by artists and the community. During Gallery Walk night there has been sometimes hundreds of people coming through our gallery which also provides the opportunity to introduce them to the functions of the Missoula Cultural Exchange and the services it provides. It has also been well received by the artists in the fact that we have a waiting list of artists who are interested in showing in the space.

One of the many services MCE provides besides as an information gathering point is its workshops such as the Business of Art. Connie Caldwell of the CopperHead Collection has summed up the workshop quite nicely;

"Kudos of the highest order to the Missoula Cultural Exchange for bringing to the community "The Business of Art" workshop. I'd been searching for just such a workshop, one which would address in depth the critical business issues which should concern every serious artist. The featured speakers were obviously tops in their fields, and their expertise was presented in a lively and stimulating fashion. HOW RARE AND REFRESHING!!!!!

I consider the workshop, a terrific value, worth every cent, and will not hesitate to attend other workshops sponsored by the

EXHIBIT ~ DATE \ -d-.\ -q,?;>-

3p:------

Missoula Cultural Exchange. That the workshop ran very smoothly can be attributed only to the professionalism of the staff of the Missoula Cultural Exchange. Their effort, energy, and attention to the needs of artist like me make Missoula and Montana a great place to be!1I

Money invested in MCE filters out to the community through the contacts made and involvement with other organizations and with many individuals. One very notable example would be Valleyopp! which will become an important part of the cultural environment of Missoula. The Missoula Cultural Exchange did an admirable job in organizing the event.

My life has been personally touched by the Missoula Cultural Exchange along with many other people. If it weren't for MCE many things wouldn't be happening at all. An otganization such as this was an expressed need identified a few years ago and Ms. Kaplan made it happen.

Sincerely, <7 //

V ALLEYOOP! FESTIVAL '92 FINAL REPORT

EXHlBlT_~ __ @....;... ....... _

DATE... ) - '¢.\ - 9"':>

~------

Overall we felt very positive about the Festival. We estimate attendance at about 7,000. Based on survey returns and ticket sale records for the mainstage events, we believe 30% -40 % of the audience to have been from outside of Missoula. About 20 % were from outside of Glacier Country ..

We kept track of requests for information as follows:

39 different communities represented (not including Missoula) 31 outside of Glacier Country 15 out of state communities 20% of inquiries were from Spokane/Coeur D'Alene 10.5 % of inquiries were from Butte 10% of inquiries were from Helena

Financially, we are in pretty good shape. We are still awaiting one outstanding pledge which, when it comes in, will put us right at the break even point. "

Our budget ended up at just about $90,000. Of that, income broke down approximately as follows:

40% Earned revenue, ticket sales, dinner event, fees and products 37 % Sponsorships 13 % UM Sponsorship and subsidies 6 % Glacier Country Co-op marketing 2 % City of Missoula 1 % Montana Arts Council

Expenses looked like this:

47% Artist fees (including $9,042 to local artists and organizations) 29 % Administrative and technical personnel 21 % Marketing

One thing we learned is how important it is to provide as much specific information as early as possible. Our preliminary brochure (which was distributed regionally) generated a good deal of interest but still left too many questions unanswered. In the future, we'll try to pin down the schedule earlier and publicize that specific information.

One of the long-term objectives of Valleyoop! is to expose a new audience to the cultural

EXHIBIT_.....;:;,;c;>.~ __ DAT~~ ___ J_-~~_\_-_1~3 __ _ Sfa'------__

wealth of the Missoula area. With 13 separate organizations directly involved, I believe we met this objective clearly. We had terrific feedback from groups like the Jeannette Rankin Peace Resource Center and the Young Rep who felt they had discovered new audiences through the Festival participation.

We also had good feedback from retail businesses. Merchants remarked on how crowded their stores were and the craft fair, The Hellgate Rendezvous reported very brisk sales.

Approximately 58 businesses contributed goods and services to Valleyoop! and over 200 volunteers gave their time and energy to making the festival a success.

Though we are grateful for this year to catch our breath we are talking about the future and looking forward to Valleyoop! Festival '94.

Re: Media Arts In Education Project, Grant #578 Submitted by Missoula Community Access Television

Good morning, Mister Chairman, members of the committee;

For the record I am Mary Canty, assistant director of Missoula Community ,Access Television. I am testifying on behalf of grant # 578, a special projects grant to bring an Artist-in-Residence to Missoula County High Schools.

This proposal has the financial support of Missoula County High Schools, who have committed $11,000 as cash match; in recognition of the need for such a program.

MCAT is a community production facility with a studio, two editing suites and some production equipment available to community members who have gone through ourtraining program. We run finished television programs on our own channel, which is cable channel 7 on the Telecommunications, Incorporated, system which reaches 17,000 households in the Missoula valley.These services are offered free of charge and our funds come through cable subscribers who pay,~ monthly fee. Some of that fee comes to our not-for-profit organization. .

We are one of the most active access television centers of our size in the country. In less than three years, we have trained more than 1000 Missoulians in television production, and we currently have over 450 active producers. In December alone, we ran 60 new shows that had been locally produced.

Have Missoula's teens been able to fully participate in MCAT? Sadly, the answer is no, due mainly to short class times and the inability to get down to our facility for the equipment My experience thus far with Missoula High School students is that they are the video generation. Basic production skills come easily & quickly to them. Further, there is a wide range of issues facing this generation, ranging from health issues, such as AIDS, to the environment, ... and even to war. Providing them with this tool for further examination & discussion of these critical issues is the natural next step for the students and for MCAT.

The Montana Arts Council Artist-in-Residence program will allow Missoula's high school students regular exposure to & assistance from a professional committed to work in the media arena. This person will work in the schools, schedule and deliver equipment, and assist in all phases of student productions. The Artist in Residence will see to it that the shows are submitted to MCAT for cablecast. Within a few months, Missoula County High Schools will have a regular program time to run their shows.

· .. ; \ . . .. ..

The Artist-in-Residence will spend one day a week in each of the three high schools in Missoula County. There is a teacher who will serve as the project sponsor in each school and they have already been identified.

Dave Severson, a Journalism teacher with Sentinel High School, says, "The artist could be the resource person I need to train students and fill in the gaps for them about video production from an artistic as well technical standpoint..An art teacher would like students to do video as an art form. The English department would use the program for the film studies class and I would use it for journalism. (He also mentions music, drama, special education and technology classes as likely beneficiaries.) ... What better way to learn history that by having students interview people and produce documentaries?11

Peggy Patrick and Robin Hamilton, French and English teachers from Hel/gate High School, have these ideas for school productions: *Documentaries on local history and cultural heritage, *Research projects for class requirements ·School events such as plays, poetry readings & concerts *Videotape exohanges with sister sohools in Japan, France, Spain, England, Germany & New Zealand

And they state, "We hope that the video-artist-in-the-school progr:am will serve as a pilot to help other Montana schools implement state cU'rriculum guidelines, teach visual literacy, take advantage of current technology, encourage other cities to establish community access television stations, and to help Montana students take an active part in a global community:

What is visual literacy? Visual literacy is the ability to show a story by way of telling it Visual literacy includes interviews, locations, pictures, photos, archival footage, illustrations, and manipulation of electronic images. It is a way of valuing our neighbors & our selves by telling our own stories in our own communities. Visual literacy is not McDonaldls & Coca-Cola ads; it is not a lot of the television programming currently offered.

Our original plan was to have an Artist-in-Residence in the Missoula High Schools for two years. The committee who made the funding recommendations to you recommended $7500 and not the $16,000 we originally requested. We can take that and add it to the $11 ,000 from Missoula County High Schools, apply for match from the Montana Arts Council and still have more than a one year program. Please hold the line for us at $7500 and we will deliver an effective in depth program, having a real effect on Missoula1s teenagers.

Thank you for you time and attention.

Mary Canty Assistant Director, MeAT

HISTORY

Very Special Arts Montana (VSAM) was established in 1979 as a creative movement and drama program for special education students in Missoula County. We are funded by the National Committee for Arts for the Handicapped. VSAM began statewide operations when it became an affiliated state program of the national Very Special Arts founded by Jean Kennedy Smith in 1974. VSA is an educational affiliate of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and has been mandated by Congress to coordinate the nation's arts programs for individuals with disabilities. ,VSAM receives partial support from VSA while initiating its model programs in Montana and collaborating with the national office to increase Montana opportunities. We receive support from the Montana Arts Council, Coal Tax grants, and corporate and private foundations. Programs include the New Visions Dance Project, performances at the annual Sweet Pea Festival, artists training, and festivals. VSAM is also an associated program of the Montana University Affiliated Rural Institute on Disabilities.

Very Special Arts Montana has assumed the role of an active advocate for art related experiences for persons with disabilities, while also providing opportunities for the general public. It has established contacts statewide with the goal of furthering regional operations. VSAM maintains a state office in Missoula, Montana, on The University of Montana campus. This office is the base from which staff travel throughout the state to assist in regional development and statewide services.

MISSION

* To Provide instruction, advocacy, accessibility, public awareness, performances and exhibits in the arts for persons with disabilities and the general public.

* To establish the same opportunities for persons with disabilities as those without disabilities have. Introduction to activities which nourish appreciation of and participation in the arts are a big step in that direction. Persons in both rural and 'town" environments will be provided with educational hands-on arts activities encouraging self-confidence and improved communication .and interaction with others. A related goal of VSAM arts services is to facilitate integration of persons with disabilities into jobs and into the community at large. The work and example of our roster of professional artists with and without disabiities is key to meeting our mission.

* To empower regional citizens groups to provide ongoing VSAM services throughout Montana.

~----------------Persons with disabilities should have the same opportunities the rest of us have. Introduction to activities which nourish appreciation of and participation in the arts are a big step in that direction. Persons in rural and "town" environments will be provided educational hands-on arts activities encouraging self-confidence and improved communication and facilitating integration into jobs. Creative approaches to problems are encouraged. The person's desires, relationship to others and to the world around him or her will be given new and exciting means of expression through the arts. We will provide for ongoing implementation of activities beyond the life of the grant with the establishment of regional committees and workers for VSAM (already begun). Out recent projects in Montana communities received widespread support. We have heard from teachers, health care providers, and the children and adults in our workshops that there have been great benefits in personal growth. Programs give Montana professional artists enriching opportunities for service and presentation of their art into previously underserved and unreached communities.

Mister Chairman, members of the committee, for the record, my name is Elizabeth Gans. I am the director of the Holter Museum of Art in Helena, Montana. I am testifying on behalf of grant number 541 requesting funding for expanding the education and outreach programs at the Holter Museum. The Holter Museum presents a quality visual arts program that includes all media and a broad range of themes and approaches to art. We serve primarily Lewis & Clark, Jefferson & Broadwater Counties, with a population of 60,000. Due to our location in the state capital we also serve Montanans from beyond the tri-county area, and tourists from outside the state. The Holter's mission is to nurture the creative spirit and to make the visual.arts accessible to all, and to promote the participation of diverse audiences through outreach, innovative educational programming and collaboration with other organizations.

We believe in the image of the museum as a place for participation, for IIdoing,1I whether this be through actual hands-on workshops or through dialogue with a docent, a lecturer or other visitors. The ''well that I speak of is our board and the museum's two-person staff: myself and Dorothy Bradshaw, our Assistant Director. Fifty-percent of the Assistant Director's position is devoted to the Education program. Since Dorothy was hired a year ago, thanks in part to support from a previous C&A grant, our education program has blossomed. The increase in activity and quality of programs has been tremendous. In 1992 we offered 20 lectures, 10 workshops for kids and adults, 4 musical events, and 147 school tours. We served over 4,200 participants with the assistance of over 90 volunteers. To give you some of the flavor of these programs and an idea of how the visual arts can touch and expand people's lives, here are a couple of examples:

First, we presented a series of six lIuse-eumsll for kids last summer. These workshops were fully subscribed five days after being announced, and included these topics: Found Object Sculptures, Video Story-telling, Interview Workshop with a local TV reporter, Room Collage, African Marketplace, and Refrigerator Box Installation. These interdisciplinary workshops were designed to encourage collaboration among the kids. The inspiration behind the series was that Ita museum is more than a place to look at art: it is a place where you can interact, respond, talk, get ideas, love things, hate things, do things, and, sometimes, get messy.1I

Education can also happen in less formal ways and for people of all ages. One older gentleman swept through an exhibit of contemporary art and mentioned, as he picked up his hat and coat, that IIhe didn't get this type of art. II We hooked him up with a docent who was in the museum that day, who took him around and discussed the exhibit with him. Afterwards, he came out of the gallery with a broad smile and commented that he IIstill didn't know that he liked it, but he sure did understand and appreciate it better and had learned alot.1I

In spite of how proud we are of our accomplishments this past year, we have only scratched the surface, particularly in terms of outreach beyond museum walls and beyond Helena proper. Grant 541 would help us solidify our current offerings and develop a strong outreach program. Specifically, we plan:

to develop a traveling docent program available to all schools in the tricounty area. to expand our program of lectures and workshops for kids and adults. to establish an advisory group to collaborate with us on developing and implementing ideas for reaching diverse audiences, particularly those in neighboring counties. to increase the Education Director position to full-time, in order to accomplish all this.

Grant 541 has been recommended for less funding than requested. We will do the best job we can with whatever support we receive. We are also pursuing support for the program from several regional foundations. The Citizen's Review Panel expressed concern about our grant and several others that featured partnerships with the schools, fearing that the arts organizations were headed toward "supplanting" rather than "augmenting" arts education in the schools. This is not our intention. We would pursue this education and outreach program regardless of what the schools were doing -- but hopefully coordinated with the schools' programs. This is because our approach, and that of many arts organizations, is very different from what is possible in the'-schools. We offer truly ungraded, individualized, life-long learning and believe this has a place in everyone's lives, whatever their age or previous involvement with the arts.

Thank you for support from the Cultural Trust in year's past. This support has made our current program possible. And thank you for your interest today.

The Big Sky Association for the Arts (BSM) • .. January 21, 1993

As the General Manager of the Big Sky Association for the Arts, I wish to present additional informa.. tion in support of a grant proposal (application #503) which was recommended for $0.00 funding by

the Cultural and Aesthetic Projects Citizen's Advisory Committee. ill Attached please find a copy of our grant request and a copy of our most recent festival budget.

My presentation is divided into two sections; Section I addresses the recommendations of the Citizen's Committee, Section" presents additional information pertinent to our festival operations .

.. SECTION I (Citizen's Committee recommendations in quotations)

.. II

..

..

..

Iii

III

A. "The committee viewed this proposal as primarily supporting a successful tourist attraction:'

While it is no doubt true that the Big Sky area is a tourist attraction, it is not true that the Big Sky Music Festival is a tourist attraction. Indeed, our audiences over the past three years are primarily from the greater Gallatin Valley. A survey of auto license plate registrations taken during concerts over the past three years indicates that approximately 95% of the vehicles are registered in Gallatin County. It is, therefore, reasonable to assume that the vast majority of Ol:lr concert audience resides in Gallatin County .

B. " ... the festival made a profit of $44,000 in the current year."

The festival generated reserves in 1992. They were, however, not anywhere near $44,000 . The finding of the committee was no doubt due to our error. i.e., the grant submittal was put forth prior to a complete analysis of the BSAA's financial condition. A recent analysis of that condition, as reported to me by the 8SAA's auditor (Tuohy Accounting of Big Sky) revealed that the BSAA had a cash balance of approximately $16,000 to start the 1993 festival year. Of this amount, approximately $4,000 was carried over from the previous (1991) festival. The BSAA does not view having a cash balance as unwarranted. Given the uncertainties of donations and weather for outdoor concerts (where a rainout would provoke a devastating impact on gate receipts), having a cash balance is mandatory in order to protect from financial disaster. It is primarily because of these funding variables that the BSAA needs the assurance of grant support.

C. " ... there was concern about the efficiency of its direct mail efforts."

The BSM is "in the dark" with respect to this concern. Our grant submittal does not put forth any information with respect to this topic. The BSAA budgets approximately $3,000 for fund raiSing. The vast majority of this amount is expended in direct mail fund raiSing efforts. We feel, however, that it is money well spent as is clearly indicated by the relative financial success in the area of donations. With respect to "efficiency", it should be noted that the BSAA has recently hired professional office staff which would address any problems it mayor may not have in the area of computer mail lists.

EXHI8IT_1'7 __ ~ ___ ~-.-DATE J .. ¢.I - ~

D. " ... concern that Big Sky was not an underserved rural community~~' ~------The Big Sky communtiy is a very small communtiy which reflects a population distribution not unlike what might be found in other Montana communities of similar size. Cultural events of significance in this community are very few except for those brought to the community through the efforts of the BSAA. Our major focus is the summer music festival. The BSAA has in the past supported, and will continue to support, local appearances by Shakespeare in the Parks and art workshops sponsored by the Montana Institute of the Arts. In brief, the BSM is currently the cultural lifeblood for this community.

SECTIONTWO

A. The BSAA summer music festival is, to my knowledge, the only music event in Montana at which a major symphony orchestra appears on a regular basis. This event is an opportunity for Montanans to share the unique blessings associated only with the larger cities of this nation without having to relocate and/or expend large amounts of money in order to travel to large city events.

B. Attached please find a 1993 summer festival budget. Please note that when compared to the previous year, the budget contains several significant cost increases.

1. A major increase, one which is not under BSAA control, is in the area of artist housing. The 1993 budget shows an increase of approximately $13,000 in this area.

2. The BSM would very much like to expand its audience and provide a basis for audience , development through presentation of a children's concert in 1993. This concert will be pre

sented in "Bozeman" by the Utah Symphony Orchestra at an additional cost of no less than $5,000.

3. Artistic costs continue to escalate. The 1993 budget allocates an additional $6,200 when compared to 1992.

4. Establishment of an office and hiring professional office staff will cost the BSAA approximately-$7,800 in 1993 for salaries, equipment, supplies, telephone, and travel.

5. Finally, the addition of a third concert by the Utah Symphony Orchestra will require an additional night of housing and an additional day of orchestra per diems. The latter translates into an additional cost of approximately $2,400.

The BSAA budget contains, therefore, approximately $34,400 in expenditures over and above those incurred in any previous festival. It is unlikely that this substantial amount of money would be forthcoming via additional ticket sales and/or new donations.

The BSAA respectfully requests your support.

16. Description This project requests $36,000 over a two-year period to assist il bringing a nationally recognized symphony orchestra to the 3ig S~~\

Summer Festival. Big Sky is a community located near the Gallatin ~iver halfwa~ between Bozeman and West Yellowstone founded by Chet Huntley. Residents include service workers and small business operators serving thousands of visitors - who enjo~ Summer, Fall and ~inter recreational opportunities - and active .retired people. Ophir School, a 6-room K-8 school serves a growing popUlation of children, who are then buse! 45 miles to Bozeman high schoo1. This base is inadequate to provide total financia 1

support required to maintain a cultural program that enhances visitors' experiences.

After the New World Symphony performed in 1988, a grouf of residents and busines~ people created Big Sky Association for the Arts ["3SAA" , a Montana not-for-profit corporation having exempt status under the IRC as a Sec. 501 (c)(3) organization. Ii 1989 3SAA bought a tent, presented programs featuring Montana artists in honor 01 ilIon tana' s Sta te Cen tennial, and in ;-!in ter ski seasons, presen ted evening indool programs featuring jazz and classical music, comedy, drama, and "Young Audiences' program. In 1990 and 1991 Summers 3SAA presented the ~·rew ~lorld Symphony and in 19S; two Utah Symphony Orchestra concerts, plus popular music concerts. 3SAA's recor. proves its ability to present attractive Summer :Iusic Festivals that bring tourists an! especially music lovers from other parts of the world, enhancing the area's finr reputation as a recreation area near world famous Yellowstone National Park.

17. Need Al though :lontana has several fine symphony orchestras, none has achieve· national recognition. In addition to a cultural need to expos'

iiontanans to the best in music, a nationally acclaimed orchestra draVls visitors fror many other places. The Big Sky Summer Festival serves a national and internationa audience. It needs to continue to present an outstanding symphony orchestra o! national reputation to maintain quality of its Summer Husic Festival. Ambitious Summel programs would not have been possible without pledges by an anonymous underwriter t r cover costs within generous limits. BSAA called upon the underwriter successively f01

~35,OOO and 025,001) to cover overruns, and may have to call for a lesser amount afte the 1992 Summer program. In the absence of an underwriting commitment, 3SAA continue to expand its base of support, both locally and nationally, by calling on support fro' businesses that stand to profit from the enhancement of cultural and recre8tion~ opportunities in the 3ig Sky Area and from Foundations that have reason to provic support. The preliminary budget for the 1993 SumfiJer t1usic Festival is $136,400aIl is projected to oe $ 136,401)for 1994. The specific need for 1993 (Fiscal 1994] i :nJ,OOO £roi,l the ;lontana Cultural Trust for each of the two years included in thi application, to help cover the cost of bringing a nation81l~ recognized symphol. orchestra to 3ig Sky each year.

18. Purpose or Goals The bas i cpu r po s e 0 f B S A A is to b r in g to all tho s e in :3 iSS ~:

- tourists, recreationists, residents, children - a cultural awareness by providiI; opportunities to enjoy the arts in an outdoor mountain setting. :1ajor ~oals include: - Provide a rounded program including outdoor Summer and indoor ~inter Series -

persuasive means for any Grantor to evaluate is to attend performances. BSAA cordially invites relJresentatives of iiont.:lna Cultural Trust to do so. To the extent a Grantor requests specific methods of evaluation, 3SAA will employ such methods. Absent any such specific request, ~SAA will evaluate:

A. A:;TISTIC ~;E1IT - ~1i1l be evaluated by three types of sar.lplings, ndfiJely: 1. Collection and cOr.Jpilation of published reviews; 2.

SB Because 3SAA has not commenced detailed planning for its 1994i~----------------Summer Festival (Fiscal 1995) or entered into any negotiations, it is assuming the same expenses and revenues for that year (other than cash reserves) as are projected for the 1993 Festival (Fiscal 1994), without adjustment for inflation or other factors.

During the Summer of 1938 a private producer presented three concerts oft h e i'I i ami New tv 0 rId S y mph 0 ny, u n d e r the s tar sin t 1 e ado w ViII age 0 f Big Sky. Problems with private promotion, including long-term financial non-viability, caused a group of residents and business people to band together to create a continuing organization that could sponsor artistic programs in Big Sky. An all-Volunteer group formed 5 i g Sky Ass 0 cia t ion for the Art s [" B S A A " ], a '~o n tan a not - for - pro fit corporation that in due course obtained exempt status under the I~C as a Sec. 501 (c)(3) or3anization.

By the Summer of 1989 3SAA \Vas off and running. It bought an Ara~esque tent to cover an outioor stage. It presented a series of pro g r a IT: s f eat uri n S >1 0 n tan a art i s t sin bon 0 r 0 f ~'1 0 n tan d'S S tat e C e n tell n i a I • ;) uri n g ; r arc h 0 f t 11 e foIl 0 I'! i n '5 ski sea son , J ::; :\ ;\ pre sen t e ct evenin~ programs indoors, featuring the Vi3ilante Players, qaphael C r i sty s pin n i n g " C h a r lie :; u sse 1 1 Y a r n s" a n cl the : ion tan a ':) e ,) e r tor y Theater.

The ~e\V ~orld Symphony will take a hiatus for the Summer and hence is not available. 1SAA has completed ne~otiations with the Jtah Syn?hony Orchestra to.anchor its 1992 Su~mer Festival.

The ambitious Summer pro~rams would not have ~een possible without a ~led;e hy an anonymous underwriter to cover costs within ~enerous limits. 3S~A called upon the under\Vriter [or $35,000 [or the 1990 Season anel S25,000 to cover the 1991 overrun. The underwiter's pleel3B was in descending magnitude, and a firm commitment has not been received for the 1992 Festival. ~SAA now faces the problem of cutting cost while maintaining quality, or finding other financial support, or both.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Rural Outreach is a visual art education program for small rural communities with limited resources, art agencies or programs. The program offers classes in oil and watercolor painting! drawing, interpretive design and expressionism, portraits and oriental brush painting. These classes are taught by qual ified instructor/artists. With this grant, we wi I I add a ch i I dren ' sci ass, ulh i ch reql..l ires nem promo tiona I m(l t.er i a I de t.a iii ng i hS t.ruc t.ors , b::lpes of cI asses offered and how to ob ta i nthe pt'ograms. ~Je wou I d like to es tab I ish th i s pt~ogram for at least. five communities that have already expressed st.rong int.erest.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS The committee thought this pr'oject to expand the center"s r'ur'al 1JJor'kshops arid chi Idr'en's programs into at least five intersted communities was admirable. Not much is avai lable for these age groups in underserved communities. It was concerned with the low level of earned income for the project and recommended the proposal for partial funding.
