Kentucky Arts Council Board of Directors Meeting Minutes
June 6, 2014 Noon - 3 p.m.
Members present: Sonya G. Baker, Wilma Brown, Mary Michael Corbett, Paul Fourshee, Ron Johnson, Todd Lowe, Darlene Mazzone, Everett McCorvey, Helen Mountjoy, Josephine Richardson, Andee D. Rudloff, Kathleen T. Setterman and Randall C. Vaughn Members absent: John S. Hockensmith, Roanne Victor and Jayne Moore Waldrop Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet: Deputy Secretary Lindy Casebier Others present: Bill Dexter, TAH Cabinet legal counsel, and Kentucky Arts Council staff members Lori Meadows, Chris Cathers, Sandy Etherington, Marl Renfro, Kate Sprengnether and Dan Strauss Note taker: Kate Sprengnether Call to order Mary Michael Corbett, board chairperson, called to order the quarterly meeting of the Kentucky Arts Council board of directors at noon Friday, June 6, 2014, in the studio of Stephen Rolfe Powell, Danville, Ky. Attendance With 13 board members in attendance, Corbett declared a quorum to be present. Welcome from Stephen Rolfe Powell Artist Stephen Powell welcomed the board to Danville and to his studio and thanked them for their support of the arts. Approval of Minutes The minutes from the March 21, 2014, meeting were approved by the board. A motion to approve the minutes was made by Helen Mountjoy, seconded by Randall Vaughn. The motion passed without objection. Comments by the Board Chair Corbett thanked everyone for their attendance. She asked Sonya Baker to announce her news. Baker said she has accepted a position with James Madison University and will be moving to Virginia in the next month, therefore, she must resign from the arts council board of directors. Corbett thanked Baker for her service. Report by the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet Lindy Casebier, deputy secretary of Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, spoke about the meeting on June 5 with TAH Secretary Bob Stewart, Lori Meadows and several members of the board of directors, including Mary Michael Corbett, Todd Lowe, Randall Vaughn and Ron
ADDENDUM A
Johnson. It was a productive meeting. Secretary Stewart feels the Creative Industry Study will give the arts council and board of directors solid data to present to legislators. Consent agenda Members were asked to review their abstentions and note if there were any additions or deletions. There were no changes. Corbett thanked board members for their service as panel chairs in the past four months and asked each panel chair to comment on their experiences. Overall, the consensus was that most of the panelists were well prepared, with only one or two exceptions. Panel chairs also agreed that phone panels work well, but in-person panels are better. Josephine Richardson and Baker expressed concern that some applications were of uneven quality. Lori Meadows assured the board that the arts council staff offers technical assistance with completing the application prior to the deadline. Corbett noted that the Kentucky Arts Partnership (KAP) program would receive at least a 25 percent decrease in funding, due to budget reductions. A motion to approve the consent agenda was made by Sonya Baker, seconded by Todd Lowe. The motion passed without objection. Governance Process Corbett said a replacement for Baker is needed, and she asked board members to consider who they might nominate. A report from the nominating committee will be provided at the September 2014 board meeting. Corbett thanked board members for their advocacy efforts and asked Helen Mountjoy to give a report from the Advocacy Committee. Mountjoy reminded board members that advocacy needs to happen year round and she encouraged board members to contact their legislators over the summer. Corbett said the chairman of the tourism committee lost his election, so we will need to build a relationship with the new chairman, who has not yet been appointed. Ron Johnson spoke about the issue with line item funding. Some of the KAP groups are going directly to their legislator to request funding. One problem with this is the KAP groups receive funding from two government sources. The second problem is the line item funding is sometimes run through the cabinet or arts council’s budgets, making it appear as if the budgets are larger than they are in reality. In 2013, the board passed a resolution that KAP groups receiving line item funding were no longer eligible for KAP grants, although organizations that received outdoor drama grants were exempted from this resolution since there are separate state funds set aside to support outdoor theater programs. New legislation in 2014 changed the outdoor drama funds to tourism grants, making more KAP groups eligible. Therefore, the arts council has dropped the exception for outdoor theater. At this time, all KAP groups who receive line item funding will be ineligible for KAP funding in the current fiscal year. The meeting with Secretary Stewart that Casebier mentioned was about this issue. Secretary Stewart is sympathetic to the issue and said he will help the arts council appeal to the legislators for the discontinuation of line item funding to arts organizations.
ADDENDUM A
Corbett explained changes to the committees of the board. The first change is to rename the Legislative Change Advisory Committee to Stakeholder Relations/Education Committee. The second change is to adjust the schedule of the Governor’s Awards in the Arts Nominating Committee. Instead of December, the committee will be appointed in September of each year. The final report will be due in March, instead of June. The third change is to adjust the schedule of the Kentucky Poet Laureate Committee. Instead of June in even-numbered years, the committee will be appointed in September of even-numbered years. The board discussed advocacy issues. Corbett said the arts council would like to encourage a meeting of a legislative arts caucus. Johnson said a caucus would be helpful, so there are legislators who are knowledgeable about issues in the arts and can help educate their colleagues. Casebier reminded the board that advocacy is a year-long process, especially as new legislators take office.
A motion to approve the changes to the board committee was made by Kathleen Setterman, seconded by Helen Mountjoy. The motion passed without objection.
Executive Director’s operational report Meadows provided an overview of the budget in fiscal year 2015. There will be a 5 percent decrease in the general fund appropriation. The arts council will also lose $600,000 in agency funds in FY2015 through a fund transfer. The arts council was invited by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to partner with the Citizens Institute for Rural Design on a series of workshops, funded by the NEA. We are the first state arts agency to be involved in such workshops. The workshops went very well, and there has been a lot of follow-up communications. Follow-up meetings will take place in FY2015. Richardson said she knows several people who attended one or more of the meetings, and they were all enthusiastic about and grateful for the opportunities. Meadows invited Marl Renfro, communications and technology branch manager, to report on the Creative Industry Study. Renfro said there are three exciting things to report. The first is this study is likely to be one of the most important policy studies in Kentucky, and it is certainly the only state-wide report on the arts economy in Kentucky. The second is it brings us into a small group of other states who also commissioned such studies. The other states include New York, Louisiana, Massachusetts and Arkansas. In these other states, there was an increase in funding to the state arts agency following the study. The third point is the group conducting the study, Mt. Auburn Associates, is well-known and highly respected for this type of work. This report will include actionable conclusions, and it will hopefully allow the arts council to leverage more funds for the arts. Renfro said the surveys for the study have been distributed. Consultants from Mt. Auburn are interviewing stakeholders, artists, arts administrators and focus group members. They are also consulting other sources of data regarding the economy, employment, etc. Meadows then asked Dan Strauss, senior program analyst, to report on the arts council’s new strategic plan. Strauss said the NEA requires the arts council to submit a new strategic plan with each grant application, every three years. In addition to the creative industry surveys, the arts
ADDENDUM A
council is also conducting a different survey that will inform the strategic plan. Over 1,000 of these surveys have been submitted. We will also use information culled from the SOAR conference and CIRD workshops for the strategic plan. In the past, the long range plan was projected for five years, but we have re-aligned it to the NEA’s schedule. The long-range plan will now be projected for the next six years. Meadows talked about the demographics of the survey respondents. There are very few surveys by people in the 18-24 age range. In Kentucky, women are 50.7 percent of the population, but women make up 65 percent of the survey respondents. We need more men and more people of color to take the survey. Darlene Mazzone asked how the survey is being shared. Meadows said it’s been shared in e-blasts, press releases, on Facebook and Twitter. KAP groups were asked to share it with their constituents or members. Meadows said the Governor’s Awards in the Arts have been approved by the Governor and the announcements will be made the week after next. The ceremony will be in October. SouthArts recently completed a report, Arts Education in the South, with data gathered from public school principals and anecdotal evidence. Responders were most likely to be those who are already strong supporters of the arts. Initially, the language did not specify that the data was based only on the responses received. After Meadows protested, the language was changed to “responding schools,” instead of “all schools.” The arts council will share the information but will first put it into context. Everett McCorvey asked if there will be a press release or other event to mark the release of the creative industry study. Meadows said yes. Monitoring Reports 1.0 Global Ends Statement 2.3 Financial Planning/Budgeting 2.7 Grant Panels/Process 2.8 Opportunity/Interim Grants Meadows said the budget planning was done to the best of the arts council’s ability. There was no way to predict how drastically the budget would change in the middle of the fiscal year. In response, the staff moved quickly to cut spending. Steps taken include grants being put on hiatus, job searches stopped, staff travel eliminated, print jobs cancelled, some KAP grant payments postponed and, when possible, panels were done by phone. Meadows reported compliance. A motion to approve the monitoring reports was made by Josephine Richardson, seconded by Andee Rudloff. The motion passed without objection. NASAA Report Lowe said Kentucky donations to National Association of State Arts Agencies (NASAA) were the third highest the organization received last year, behind only New York and California. Jonathan Katz, CEO of NASAA, is retiring and a search is on for the next CEO. This position is important, as he or she represents the state arts councils to the NEA. Lowe thanked board members for supporting NASAA. Board Discussion on End Statements
ADDENDUM A
Meadows discussed the proposed changes to subheadings of End Statement 1.3: Statewide delivery of arts programs and services is provided. The proposed revision reflects the changes in the landscape over the past several years, including the change made to the agency mission statement in March. The earlier version was based on serving the organizations, as opposed to working with the organizations to enhance their ability to serve the people of the state. The new subheadings will read as follows:
A. There is a vibrant infrastructure of organizations and facilities providing arts opportunities for the people of Kentucky.
i. The arts infrastructure is stable and provides consistent, year-round arts programs and services upon which communities can rely.
ii. The leadership of arts organizations and facilities, including staff and board members, represent and are empowered by the demographic composition of their communities.
iii. The management and programming of arts organizations and facilities promote the state’s creative industry and enhance community quality of life.
iv. The arts infrastructure benefits from networking and collaborations among local, state and national agencies and organizations.
v. The arts infrastructure is equipped with the resources necessary to successfully provide public value for the people of Kentucky.
B. The programs and services of the arts infrastructure are informed by communities’ need for the arts.
C. Arts organizations and facilities creatively work with communities in developing their value for diverse and new arts opportunities.
Strauss said the changes were informed by the performance expectations of the KAP groups. The shift is subtle, focused less on financial support. Vaughn said the changes add substance to the arts council’s charge for the boards of KAP groups to be more diverse. Mountjoy said we need to model diversity on our own board. A motion to approve the changes to the board committees was made by Todd Lowe, seconded by Everett McCorvey. The motion passed without objection. Board Schedule Corbett invited Mountjoy to talk about the Sept. 19 board meeting in Owensboro. Mountjoy said there are 90,000 residents of Owensboro and six KAP groups. The new convention center has art, as does the hospital system. The city has embraced the idea of the creative industry. The county judge will likely attend the meeting to talk about creative industry and other initiatives. Corbett opened the discussion about the December board meeting by asking if it should be in Louisville or Berea. Board members leaned toward Berea. Upcoming dates of importance:
Sept. 19 Board meeting, Owensboro Sept. 29-Oct. 2 Performing Arts Exchange, Atlanta October National Arts and Humanities month Oct. 9 Governor’s Awards in the Arts Oct. 16 Master Class (formerly Kentucky on Stage), Grand
Theatre, Frankfort Nov. 13-15 NASAA annual meeting, New Orleans Dec. 5 Board meeting, Berea

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board
Kentucky Arts Council
FROM: Lori Meadows
DATE: September 2014
SUBJECT: Monitoring Report for Policy 1.1
I hereby present my monitoring report on End 1.1 Kentuckians Value the Role of Arts in Society. I certify that the
data in this report is true.
____________________________________ __________________
Lori Meadows, Executive Director Date
Kentuckians Value the Role of Arts in Society
A. People understand and value the role of the arts in economic development.
i. The business community recognizes the role of the arts.
a. The role of the arts in enhancing workplace skills
b. Economic development/impact of the arts
B. People understand and value the role of the arts in community building.
C. Individuals participate in the arts.
D. People understand a broad definition of the arts.
INTERPRETATION: Kentuckians appreciate and are aware of the value of the arts, both for the
personally meaningful individual experiences the arts provide as well as the public benefits the arts
provide such as enhancement of workplace skills, economic development and community building.
There are opportunities available for the people of Kentucky to participate in the arts in a variety of
ways and in a variety of venues, taking advantage of activities that take place in their own communities,
as well as those across the state. People understand that the arts encompass a broad range that includes
the symphony, opera, ballet, visual arts, literature and filmmaking, as well as informal arts such as
storytelling, community theater and musical programs, and cultural traditions.
REPORT:
The monitoring reports for Ends statements 1.2 Lifelong education in the arts is encouraged; 1.3
Statewide delivery of arts programs and services is provided; 1.4 Artists live and work in a supportive
environment; and 1.5 Public policy at all levels supports the arts in Kentucky address specific programs
and activities which enable us to work in partnership with individuals, organizations, educators and
communities throughout the Commonwealth to ensure that the people of Kentucky value the role of arts
in society. The Kentucky Arts Council (KAC) continues to demonstrate the value the arts can provide in
economic development, tourism and community building. There is a growing interest among
communities to have opportunities to participate in the arts on an ongoing basis, and the knowledge of
and interest in what that includes is broadening.
ADDENDUM C
2
People understand and value the role of the arts in economic development and community
building
A great deal of the agency work has focused on this topic over the past year. We have presented at
statewide conferences including the Governor’s Local Issues conference, Kentucky Main Street
conference and the Brushy Fork Institute. The executive director serves on the Tourism, Arts and
Heritage working committee for the Shaping Our Appalachian Region (SOAR) initiative and provides
information and serves as an advocate for the role the arts can play in community, economic and tourism
development. The KAC conducted a forum in December 2013, the day after the initial SOAR summit in
Pikeville. Entitled “Leveraging community: Putting arts and cultural development to work,” the target
audience was community-based groups, local officials and leaders, businesses, arts and cultural
organizations and other community stakeholders and policymakers. Panelists and speakers included
representatives from the National Endowment for the Arts and the United States Department of
Agriculture; John Davis, executive director of the Lanesboro Arts Center in Minnesota, which has
received national creative placemaking funding spoke on arts-based community development.
At the request of the National Endowment for the Arts, the KAC assisted with the Citizens Institute for
Rural Design in Somerset in October 2013. Based on our leadership with that event we were invited to
submit a proposal to develop and implement additional programming for eastern Kentucky. (See
attachment at end of this report.) This resulted in our presentation of a forum in Morehead for
communities and one in Hindman for artists. A third convening held in Benham was for communities
that had received national ArtPlace and/or Our Town funding for creative placemaking. Led by a
facilitator, the eight communities represented discussed ways to leverage and build the work they are
currently doing and investigate the possibility of forming a consortium to work statewide. A second
gathering of this group was held in Pikeville in August and a third gathering is planned for November in
Louisville. This is an example of the good work the agency can continue to do with very limited
funding. Our efforts with this group have already led to some partnerships, and plans are in place for
them to continue to look at ways to work together.
The KAC continues to work with the Office of Adventure Tourism to promote the arts and handmade
artisan products in Trail Towns. Similar to the Cultural District program, Trail Towns focus on those
communities that are entryways to hiking, biking, horseback riding and water trails. Often in very rural
communities, there is an interest in learning how incorporating the arts in their community and what that
might include. The KAC has provided resources, conducted site visits and meetings in Trail Towns, and
has presented at workshops for Trail Towns to assist in the integration of the arts into the community.
Trail Towns are required to meet with the KAC, and the KAC executive director assists with the review
of Trail Town applications to ensure that they have met this requirement. The KAC is also requested to
attend the official announcements for new Trail Towns.
Individuals participate in the arts
Though the arts council works mostly with our partners to create opportunities to participate in the arts,
we do present several events and activities that both create recognition and visibility and are available to
the public. Activities over the past year have included:
Kentucky Derby Celebration featuring exhibit of artwork in the state capitol rotunda,
Kentucky Crafted artists exhibiting on the lawn of the old capitol, and approximately 50
ADDENDUM C

“horse blankets” created by school children across the state and placed on picnic tables at
the old capitol.
Public program and reception in the state capitol honoring Governor’s Awards in the Arts
recipients; production and viewing on Kentucky Educational Television of Governor’s
Awards in the Arts show; special recognition of Governor’s Awards recipients in House
and Senate chambers on Arts Day.
Public event in the state capitol for induction of Kentucky Poets Laureate and other
presentations on Kentucky Writers’ Day featuring readings and comments by current and
past Kentucky poets laureate.
Exhibition of “Kentucky Visions at the Capitol” in the Senate and House Majority
offices. These original works of art are by artists who have received the Kentucky
Governor’s Award in the Arts, a KAC fellowship or are participants in the Kentucky
Crafted program.
Production of Kentucky Crafted: The Market — over 200 exhibitors of art, craft, books
and food products; multiple narrative and performance stages; workshops; showcases;
readings by Kentucky authors; children’s activities; wholesale and retail sales of
Kentucky artist products.
Direct programming provided to communities including the Uncommon Wealth,
Makings of a Master (information below), and identity exhibits which traveled across the
state.
People understand a broad definition of the arts
One of the most effective ways for the KAC to demonstrate the broad definition of the arts is through
the presentation of folk and traditional arts. We continue to build the programming and services in this
area following the addition of a folk and traditional arts program director two years ago. Community
Scholars training is offered two to three times per year in different regions of the state to train
community members in documentation, interpretation and dissemination of their unique local cultural
resources and traditional art forms. We offer funding for folk and traditional apprenticeships in areas
such as chairmaking, blacksmithing, storytelling and other traditions. The agency offers the traveling
exhibit “Makings of a Master: Kentucky Folk Art Apprenticeships” to communities across the state. The
agency documents and disseminates information about those traditional arts which are part of our
everyday life, encouraging the general public to look at the arts in a broad context.
The KAC continuously assesses its ability to illustrate the value of the arts and to provide opportunities
for people to participate in the arts. In order for Kentuckians to value the role of arts in society we have
to continue to promote that value to the public. All of the activities described in this report lead to that
effort. Through these means the KAC has worked to make the arts available and help ensure that
Kentuckians have the opportunity to value the role of art in society. I am therefore reporting compliance
with Ends Statement 1.1.
Proposal from Kentucky Arts Council
Kentucky Citizen’s Institute on Rural Design
Goal: The Kentucky Arts Council (KAC) would like to further develop the conversation and work
initiated at the Citizens’ Institute on Rural Design (CIRD) workshop held in Somerset, Kentucky
ADDENDUM C
4
October 29-31, 2013. Building on the concept of art as an economic driver in the 54 county Appalachian
region of the state, the KAC proposes the presentation of two workshops focusing on tools and resources
and a convening for organizations and communities already engaged in this work with participants
sharing ideas, challenges and successes, followed by a competitive application process for communities
to apply for related project funding.
Timeframe: The three one-day gatherings will take place between April 1 and May 30, 2014. This
schedule allows time to reserve space, contract with speakers, arrange logistics and publicize the events
should this proposal be accepted. Transportation can be challenging in eastern Kentucky, and traveling
from one end of the region to the other takes several hours. The selected communities are at least 90
minutes in travel time from each other, and more than two and a half hours from Somerset, site of the
first CIRD gathering.
Selected communities: Hindman in Knott County, Morehead in Rowan County, and Cumberland in
Harlan County, all of which are engaged in initiatives focusing on the arts and culture. These three
counties are part of Kentucky’s Appalachian region as defined by the Appalachian Regional
Commission; included as part of Governor Beshear and Congressman Hal Rogers’ Shaping Our
Appalachian Region (SOAR) initiative announced in December 2013 to identify issues and possible
solutions to help eastern Kentucky’s struggling economy transition to a more successful future; and
included in the recently announced expansion of the USDA’s StrikeForce initiative that partners with
local community organizations, businesses, foundations, universities and other groups to support local
projects and pursue needed investments into rural areas. In addition, Harlan County is included in the
eight county high-poverty Kentucky Promise Zone just designated by the White House and targeted for
job creation and economic assistance.
Partners: The KAC will work with state and federal agencies involved in the programs outlined above,
current Kentucky Arts Partnership grantees in the selected communities, and other existing and new
partners to facilitate the workshops.
Hindman: Home of the Kentucky School of Craft, the Hindman Settlement School and the Appalachian
Artisan Center of Kentucky, this small rural community has been working for several years to use the
arts to enhance the community. These initiatives have not been as successful as originally anticipated;
however, new leadership at all of the organizations listed has revived interest and hope in how the arts
can benefit the community.
Anticipated location: School of Craft
http://www.hazard.kctcs.edu/Visitors_and_Community/Kentucky_School_of_Craft.aspx
Morehead: Located in northeastern Kentucky, Morehead is home to the Rowan County Art Center, the
Kentucky Folk Art Center, the Kentucky Center for Traditional Music, and Morehead State University,
which has a strong art and design program and an arts administration program. The KAC has strong
relationships with all of these organizations.
Anticipated location: Rowan County Art Center
http://www.rcartscenter.org/
ADDENDUM C

Cumberland: Located in far southeastern Kentucky, Harlan County borders Virginia and is ranked
number 83 out of the 100 poorest counties in the nation. Southeast Community and Technical College
and the Godbey Appalachian Cultural and Fine Arts Center are located in Cumberland. Recipient of
ArtPlace funding for the ongoing Higher Ground project, they have formed local, state and national
partnerships and are a prime example of utilizing the arts for community development. Working with
Higher Ground coordinator Robert Gipe, this is the anticipated location for the convening of
practitioners already significantly engaged in the work.
http://www.artplaceamerica.org/articles/the-higher-ground-project-8/
Anticipated location: Southeast Community and Technical College
Target audience: community stakeholders including community-based groups, organizers, local
officials and leaders, policymakers, businesses and arts and cultural organizations interested in creating
innovative, collaborative projects to build stronger communities and stimulate economic growth through
arts and cultural engagement.
Anticipated attendance: Morehead – 60, Hindman – 40, Cumberland – 25.
Coordination and organization: The KAC is prepared to develop and implement all aspects of the
workshops and granting process including selecting appropriate sites, coordinating all logistics,
facilitating sessions if needed, setting the agenda, arranging for speakers and publicizing activities.
Follow-up: Following the workshops the availability of competitive grant funds would allow
participants to further develop and implement their project ideas. KAC staff would be available to
provide instruction in grantwriting and project development, and administer all granting activities.
Marketing and publicity: If this proposal is approved, a press release will be issued from the Kentucky
Arts Council. Communications regarding the convenings will be sent via the agency’s regular
communication channels which include press releases with specific logistic and registration information
for each meeting; registration information placed on the front page of the KAC website; a letter
announcing the workshops from the KAC executive director in the agency electronic newsletter; use of
agency social media; notice in the state monthly business magazine The Lane Report on the page
reserved for the KAC; communications prepared and disseminated to partners to share with their
constituents; letters to local elected officials including the mayors, county judge executives and
legislators. In addition, communication will be made with the Governor’s office and Congressman
Rogers’ staff to inform them of these activities taking place in the SOAR region, and communication
will be sent to the 1700 registrants of the SOAR summit in December.
Continuing the work started at the CIRD workshop in Somerset can help keep the momentum going and
would provide a valuable opportunity to demonstrate how the arts can be successfully integrated into
communities. The KAC welcomes the opportunity to manage and implement this process.

Kentucky Arts Council
FROM: Lori Meadows
DATE: September 2014
SUBJECT: Monitoring Report for Policy 1.2
I hereby present my monitoring report on End 1.2 Lifelong education in the arts is
encouraged. I certify that the data in this report is true.

Lori Meadows, Executive Director Date
Lifelong Education in the Arts is Encouraged.
A. Arts are basic to education for children and youth in grades pre-K
through 12.
B. Opportunities to increase understanding of and skills in the arts are
available to youth.
C. Lifelong opportunities to learn through the arts are available.
INTERPRETATION:
The arts are basic to the education of youth and are necessary to the development of 21st
century skills: creative thinking, problem solving and innovation. The Kentucky Arts
Council (KAC) must be an advocate for the value of arts in education and be proactive in
helping create opportunities for youth to have hands-on arts experiences and for people of
all ages to learn through the arts.
REPORT:
Programs and services of the KAC are directed to people of all ages, and we work in
partnership with many groups, individuals, organizations and communities to provide
opportunities for lifelong education in the arts.
Arts are basic to education for children and youth in grades pre-K through 12;
opportunities to increase understanding of and skills in the arts are available to
youth.
The KAC remains committed to working to ensure that the arts are available in
education, and that there are multiple ways for children and youth to actively participate
in the arts. We work to stay abreast of both the changes in arts education in Kentucky as
well as nationally. Our arts education director meets regularly with the Department of
Education arts and humanities specialist and is on the related advisory committee. We
ADDENDUM C
2
continue to see confusion and frustration over the implementation in the public schools of
the program review for arts and humanities and look for additional ways in which we can
assist schools in working with these challenges.
The KAC participated in two studies on arts education in the south and these were
released this summer. Coordinated by South Arts, the regional arts organization that
represents Kentucky and eight other states, the studies provide data that will be used to
examine the status of arts education in the south as well as inform the future of arts
education in Kentucky and the region. The reports, Arts Education in the South Phase I:
Public School Data and Principals’ Perspectives and Arts Education in the South Phase
II: Profiles of Quality, look at access to and quality of arts education in K-12 public
schools in this region.
The multi-year investigative study includes responses from Kentucky elementary, middle
and high school administrators in the Phase One report. The Phase Two report includes
profiles of school programs with arts-centric programming and includes a case study of
the successful theater program at Owensboro High School.
The KAC provides direct arts education programming and technical assistance:
For the ninth year the KAC coordinated the Poetry Out Loud statewide poetry
recitation competition for high school students. KAC storytelling, theater and literary
teaching artists provided instruction in recitation to students in schools selected to
participate. Kentucky’s finalist, Taryn Syck, a sophomore from Pike County, was the
state winner and represented Kentucky at the national finals in Washington, D.C.
Teaching Art Together one- to four-week school residencies were conducted by
adjudicated teaching artists.
The TranspARTation grant program funds transportation costs for school field trips to
Kentucky Arts Partnership grantee venues with approved arts education
programming.
The SWAT (Specialists With Arts Tactics) program pairs trained arts education
consultants with individual schools or school districts to interpret and develop their
own program review for arts and humanities. This group of arts education
professionals provide three- to six-hour consultancies to assist schools and districts
with policy writing, including the arts in the CSIP/CDIP, arts curriculum alignment,
developing performance assessments and integrating the arts across the curriculum.
Consultancy fees are paid by the Kentucky Arts Council.
The KAC provides the anthology of poetry by Kentucky poets laureate and
accompanying curriculum materials to high schools upon request.
Professional development training for artists in the Teaching Artist Directory. has
been broadened in format. Each teaching artist is required to attend one professional
development session per year, but we will provide at least three sessions and they
may attend all if desired.
The KAC invited the Southeastern United States Student Poet Aline Dolinh to attend
and participate in Kentucky Writers’ Day. Aline also visited a local high school to
meet with the students.
ADDENDUM C

Other activities in which the KAC has been involved to support and strengthen arts
education:
The KAC presented workshops on Universal Design for Learning and the arts
across the curriculum in partnership with VSA Kentucky. Teachers who attended
received professional development credit.
The KAC disseminates information outside of our programs regarding arts in
education announcements and programs. Examples for FY 2014 include putting
out a press release on the 31 Kentucky students who were recognized by the
Alliance for Young Artists & Writers for receiving 2014 Scholastic Art & Writing
Awards, developing and disseminating an online directory of summer arts
programs offered by Kentucky Arts Partnership organizations, and
communicating to the public the Big Read grants awarded by the National
Endowment for the Arts to organizations in Ashland, Hopkinsville and Owenton
to present community reading projects.
The KAC presents arts education information at the Prichard Committee’s
Commonwealth Institutes for Parent Leadership in various locations throughout
Kentucky.
Lifelong opportunities to learn through the arts are available.
In addition to opportunities for arts education in formalized educational settings, the
Kentucky Arts Council works in partnership with organizations and communities to
ensure that opportunities for lifelong education in the arts are available. Grantees that
receive operating support funding through the Kentucky Arts Partnership program
provide opportunities for lifelong education in the arts and are scored on both this
provision as well as arts in education programming. Goals focused on creating a lifelong
understanding of and appreciation for the arts are integral to the agency’s strategic plan.
The Arts Access Assistance grant, now in its third year, supports quality arts
programming in environments where arts are not the primary emphasis, serving
populations whose opportunities to experience the arts may be limited by age, geographic
location, ethnicity, economic status, disability or other factors. Each grant cycle a
different population is chosen to benefit from these arts programs. For the first two years
of the program seniors were the targeted audience and FY2014 grantees included the
Council on Developmental Disabilities, the Covington Ladies Home, and the Murray-
Calloway County Endowment for Health Care.
The support of the Power2Give program by the KAC has enabled organizations across
the state to leverage our funding match to present both youth and adult learning
opportunities in the arts. Examples for FY 2014 include:
Mobile Museum Program–an art-in-a-suitcase program for K-12 school children,
including original art by Kentucky artists and presented by the Kentucky
Museum for Art and Craft in Louisville
Walk with the Arts--a day of art demonstrations and hands-on activities at Indian
Fort Theater nature area for all Madison County 4th-grade students
ADDENDUM C
4
Provide Theater for All--partial subsidizing of admission for community members
enrolled in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to see a
production of Terrorism at the Downtown Arts Center
Over the past year, the following public arts education activities and opportunities
presented directly by the KAC have taken place:
Production of Kentucky Crafted: The Market included multiple narrative and
performance stages, workshops, showcases, hands-on activities.
Kentucky Writers’ Day featured readings and comments by current and past
Kentucky Poets Laureate.
Presentations and readings by Kentucky Poet Laureate Frank X Walker occurred in
locations across the Commonwealth.
ArtsReach Kentucky training and development program, in partnership with the
Kentucky Center for the Arts, assisted arts organizations in Ashland, Paducah,
Hopkinsville and Mt. Sterling to work with community service partners to develop
and ensure that the arts are available to their constituents.
A Kentucky Writers’ Day planning guide was developed and disseminated to help
groups and communities plan their own celebration. The guide, formatted by
organization type, includes suggestions and creative ways to mark the day and
recognize some of Kentucky’s finest literary artists.
Community Scholar training was offered in Scottsville. Trainees learned to identify,
document, archive and present traditional arts and artists in their communities. They
joined the network of over 200 certified community scholars in Kentucky.
Through the arts education programs and activities that are presented by the KAC, our
partnerships and the support and encouragement given to arts organizations to provide
educational programming, the KAC actively provides opportunities to encourage lifelong
education in the arts. I am therefore reporting compliance with Ends Statement 1.2.

Lori Meadows, Executive Director Date
Statewide Delivery of Arts Programs and Services is Provided.
A. There is a vibrant infrastructure of organizations and facilities providing arts opportunities
for the people of Kentucky.
i. The arts infrastructure is stable and provides consistent, year-round arts programs
and services upon which communities can rely.
ii. The leadership of arts organizations and facilities, including staff and board
members, represent and are empowered by the demographic composition of their
communities.
iii. The management and programming of arts organizations and facilities promote
the state’s creative industry and enhance community quality of life.

INTERPRETATION: The Kentucky Arts Council (KAC) provides leadership, funding,
resources and opportunities to ensure that access to the arts is available to all Kentuckians
through the delivery of programs and services.
REPORT: Policy 1.3, as revised by the board this year, now more closely relates to the current
needs of the Commonwealth. Kentucky is fortunate in that we have an infrastructure of viable
arts organizations across the entire state; not limited to the urban areas as is common in many
other states. Though this infrastructure is made up of much more than the approximately 100
ADDENDUM C
2
organizations that receive operating support through the Kentucky Arts Partnership (KAP)
program each year, our expectations and requirements of these direct grantees support each of
the components included in this policy. The KAP program helps ensure that opportunities to
participate in the arts is possible for everyone, and only non-profit arts organizations whose
primary purpose is to provide year-round arts services and programs directly for the benefit of
the public are eligible to apply.
The goals of the KAP program are:
To develop and maintain strong arts organizations
To increase arts participation statewide
To promote diverse arts and culture
To help build an efficient arts delivery system across the state
For the program to achieve these goals KAP organizations must meet the following program
expectations:
Delivery
Organizational and administrative capacity and planning
Methods used to determine and ensure artistic and/or programming quality
Financial control and adequate resources
Data collection, analysis and maintenance
Continuous assessment of the organization's performance
Networking and Collaborations
Relations with local arts and non-arts organizations
Relations with students and educators
Relations with artists
Relations with statewide, regional, national and international organizations
Diversity
Building diversity in the organization's leadership and participants
Promotion of diverse arts and culture
Outreach to underserved populations and people with disabilities
Value/Role of the Arts
Community's need for the arts
Provision of public value
Communications and use of media
Arts advocacy
The very nature of the KAP program and the KAC’s expectations of the organizations helps
ensure that they are taking measures and have a system in place to strengthen their operating
capacity and leadership; provide programming and activities of high artistic quality; create and
maintain relationships with a diverse group of partners; maintain fiscal controls and conduct
organizational assessment; make efforts to reach a broad audience; and provide and relay the
value the arts and their organization brings to the community.
To help KAP organizations and others meet operating capacity and programmatic excellence
standards and enhance administrative and management skills the arts council provides the
ADDENDUM C

following resources:
All KAC grantees have reporting requirements to make them accountable for the public
funds they receive and to make the use of those funds transparent. Submission of quantitative
final reports provides the necessary information the KAC must provide to the National
Endowment for the Arts, and for KAP groups, provides data for the Public Value Reports.
The Kentucky Peer Advisory Network consultancy serves in a variety of administrative areas
such as board and staff development, governance, long-range planning, financial
management, etc. Organizations may apply directly to the KAC for assistance, or grant
panels may recommend KPAN assistance.
The ArtsReach Kentucky Program, in partnership with the Kentucky Center for the Arts,
provides training and funding to arts organizations and community partners to develop arts
programming and services to underserved communities.
The KAC has meetings with communities and organizations that are interested in developing
arts programming and activities.
Most organizational grant programs have open panel review which grantees and prospective
grantees are encouraged to attend; written panel comments upon request; information on
scoring breakdown for each performance expectation of grant applications; and meetings
with all grantees requesting such following grant announcements.
The KAC encourages Kentucky entities to access federal and regional funds from
organizations such as the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and South Arts and makes
information about these possibilities available to constituents.
The KAC works to help organizations develop their own standards for artistic and
programmatic excellence. Operating support grantees are required to discuss the means by
which the organization ensures quality, as opposed to proving the artistic excellence of the
specific programming. The KAC offers access to adjudicated artists through the Kentucky
Crafted, Performing Arts, Architectural Artists and Teaching Artist Directories as well as
award programs such as the Governor’s Awards in the Arts, Fellowships, and Poet Laureate.
Kentucky on Stage, the KAC performing arts showcase and booking conference, provides
access to high-quality performing artists that organizations can book for their own
communities.
The KAC worked with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to disseminate
information to Kentucky museums about the Blue Stars Museums Initiative, which offered
free museum admission to military personnel and their families between Memorial Day and
Labor Day. Those organizations which chose to participate were listed on the NEA’s website
and press materials about the program and were also publicized by the KAC.
Access to ready-made programs developed and made available by the Kentucky Arts Council
enables organizations to present artistically excellent activities at a low-cost. This includes
exhibits, presentations, displays, readings, and access to the Kentucky Poet Laureate.
Exhibits produced by the KAC and available to travel in the state during FY 2014 included
The Makings of a Master, identity and UnCommonwealth.
Access to Information and Resources: The KAC serves as a resource for organizations,
providing access to general information and services as well as providing information on
specific issues. Current informational resources include Arts E-News, calls for artists,
periodic email blasts to constituents for special communications, press releases,
ADDENDUM C
4
informational meetings and convenings, specific print marketing materials for the KAC and
programs and events, enhanced website, Facebook, Twitter and blog posts.
The KAC conducts an annual assessment for each grant and adjudicated application program to
determine areas in which organizations are not meeting expectations. We review which areas of
the application score lowest overall and design technical assistance offerings targeted to those
areas. In FY 2014 we presented special forums including:
“Creative Industry: Engaging Your Community and Diversifying Fundraising” with
presentations on Kentucky’s changing demographics, making connections with minority groups
to encourage growth in arts leadership, identifying and overcoming barriers in developing boards
that reflect your community and identifying diverse funding sources.
“Creativity and Innovation: Developing Tomorrow’s Workforce” with a presentation on the
importance of art in the curriculum by Fayette County Public School Superintendent Dr. Tom
Shelton; and a panel discussion with representatives of Gray Construction, Big Ass Fans,
Kentucky Science and Technology Corporation, and Toyota Motor Manufacturing on the
importance of creativity and innovation in the workplace.
These forums and the others presented have been very well received and we will continue to
program events of this type to offer new ideas and information on important current topics.
The KAC continues to work to ensure that efficient statewide delivery of arts programs and
services is provided. I am therefore reporting compliance with Ends Statement 1.3.

Artists Live and Work in a Supportive Environment.
A. Artistic achievement is encouraged and recognized.
i. Public recognition
ii. Economic recognition
iii. Career opportunities
B. Artists have knowledge and information necessary for success.
i. Business skills
ii. Artistic skills
iii. Access to resources
C. There is a sense of community among artists.

INTERPRETATION: Through programs, services, technical assistance, funding and access the
Kentucky Arts Council (KAC) works to create and advocate for an environment in which artists
are able to create and market their work while making a living wage.
REPORT:
The KAC has extremely strong programs for individual artists, largely focusing on marketing
and technical assistance. The agency strategic plan includes objectives under this end with the
following intended outcome: “The environment in Kentucky is such that artists are able to create
and market their work while making a living wage,” and activities and programs are structured to
make progress toward this outcome.
The KAC works with artists at many different levels in their careers and artistic abilities. Over
the past two years, through special funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the
ADDENDUM C
2
National Arts and Disability Center we were able to put out a call to artist who self identified as
having a disability, and mount a traveling exhibit of the selected works. The exhibit included the
written perspective from each artist about how having a disability does or does not shape their
personal experiences and artwork. The “identity” exhibit featured work by 30 artists.
Three artists were awarded the opportunity to have up to five of their works professionally
photographed, and receive a digital and hardcopy package of images for their own marketing and
promotion purposes.
Much of our regular programming encourages and enhances the careers of artists and there are
additional special opportunities that are presented every year. This report largely focuses on
special activities and opportunities which have occurred over the past 12 months and while most
items are listed below one heading, they may equally fit under another heading.
Artistic achievement is encouraged and recognized.
The Makings of a Master touring exhibition focuses on the folk artist masters and
apprentices who have participated in the Folk and Traditional Arts Apprenticeship
program over its 20-year history.
The Featured Artist on the website changes every month and includes samples of their
work and images of them working, and we issue a press release to announce the new
artist. This has been very popular with the artists.
Adjudicated programs: Performing Arts Directory, Kentucky Crafted, Teaching Artists
Directory, Architectural Artists Directory.
The folk and traditional arts apprenticeship grant provides funds for a master artist to
teach the skills, practices and culture of Kentucky’s living traditional arts to an apprentice
in their community.
Al Smith Fellowships recognize artistic excellence in established artists.
Emerging Artist awards recognize and encourage artists new to the field.
The KAC conducts the selection process for the Kentucky Poet Laureate program.
The KAC conducts the selection process for Governor’s Awards in the Arts program.
Annual commission of a Kentucky artist to create awards for the Governor’s Awards in
the Arts. Images of the artwork are used throughout the videos produced for the event and
on the printed materials and the website. The artist selected to create the 2014 awards is
Seth Green. Artists experience a great deal of visibility from this commission.
Kentucky Writers’ Day activities recognize and honor writers and literary arts of
Kentucky.
The UnCommon Wealth: Legacy of the Kentucky Arts Council Al Smith Fellowships
included a traveling exhibit featuring work from visual artists who have received the
fellowship. There were also small grant opportunities for organizations and communities
to schedule programming featuring fellowship recipients. For example, the Lyric Theatre
in Lexington held one of the evening artist talks featuring exhibiting artists Kurt Gohde,
Garry Bibbs and Lori Larusso who discussed their work and writer Leatha Kendrick who
did a reading. All of the artists stated that the fellowship had a profound effect on their
lives as artists.
The 2014 Kentucky Visions at the Capitol exhibit featured approximately 75 works of art
by Kentucky artists in House and Senate public spaces and leadership offices. Work
remained on display through the legislative session.
ADDENDUM C

Artists in the Performing Arts Directory were contracted to perform and artists in the
Kentucky Crafted program were contracted to demonstrate their work during the
afternoon reception on Arts Day.
Occasional interim grants are awarded to artists for special professional career
opportunities. An example in FY 2014 was an award of $1,000 to Kentucky Baroque
Trumpets to enable them to participate in the 150th
anniversary of President Lincoln’s
Gettysburg address.
KAC assistance to artists increasingly focuses on marketing and promotion including the
following activities:
Kentucky Crafted: The Market promotes visual and craft artists, performers and literary
artists.
The KAC partnered with the Lexington Home and Garden Show to obtain prime
showcase location for a booth featuring artists in the Architectural Artist Directory.
Kentucky Crafted artists with food-related products (pottery, glassware, linens, etc.) were
invited to exhibit in a new Kentucky Crafted area of the Incredible Food Show at the
Lexington Civic Center.
Online directories for adjudicated artist programs include teaching artists, performing
artists, visual and craft artists and architectural artists.
Participation in Buyers’ Market of American Craft in Philadelphia. Invited participants
are given assistance on how to operate their business in the larger market, booth design
and other areas. This opportunity is intended to be an incubator program so artists can
explore the possibility of attending on their own in the future.
Artists showcasing at Kentucky on Stage were provided with JPEGs and video clips
taken during their performance - a very affordable way of helping them get quality work
samples and photos to use for marketing.
The Kentucky on Stage performing arts showcase promotes artists to presenters who are
looking for performers to book in their venue, whether it’s a library, a festival, a
performing arts center, a local arts council or numerous other venues.
Artists’ products are represented at the Kentucky Derby celebration.
Performing Arts Directory artists are represented at South Arts’ Performing Arts
Exchange.
Kentucky Crafted artists participated in Ohio’s two Winterfair shows and the Indiana
Artisan Marketplace through a reciprocal arrangement with out-of-state artist guilds that
attend the Market.
Artwork was on display in the Capitol Rotunda during Derby celebration. First Lady Jane
Beshear hosted a “meet and greet” press event for the artists participating in the display
and those participating in exhibit booths on Derby Day.
The offices of First Lady Jane Beshear hosts a rotating exhibit of visual art.
Artists have knowledge and information necessary for success.
The KAC holds mandatory orientation and professional development training for all
artists in adjudicated programs. Artists newly adjudicated into the Kentucky Crafted and
Performing Arts Directory programs are required to attend initial orientation and may
attend professional development every year. Teaching artists are required to attend
training every year to keep up-to-date on new education requirements; beginning with FY
2015 they will have a choice of three to four professional development opportunities.
They may attend all, but must attend one.
ADDENDUM C
4
Technical assistance and professional development workshops focusing on KAC
programs and activities for artists were conducted throughout the state.
Artists in adjudicated programs have the opportunity to use consultants through the
Kentucky Peer Advisory Network.
The online call to artists in all disciplines is regularly updated.
There is a sense of community among artists.
Networking opportunities largely occur in conjunction with other events such as group training
and professional development opportunities, participation in marketing events such as Kentucky
Crafted: The Market, Kentucky on Stage and the Derby Celebration. The KAC builds in time for
networking and discussion at all workshops and events so artists can get to know each other and
share information. While the current budget situation does not allow for activities or events to be
planned specifically for networking activities, the sense of community among artists who
participate in KAC programs is strong and we continue to build that community.
Through the means presented in this report, as well as regular programming, the KAC has
worked to help ensure the artists of Kentucky are able to live and work in a supportive
environment. I am therefore reporting compliance with Ends Statement 1.4.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board
Kentucky Arts Council
FROM: Lori Meadows
DATE: September 2014
SUBJECT: Monitoring Report for Policy 1.5
I hereby present my monitoring report on End 1.5 Public policy at all levels supports the arts in
Kentucky. I certify that the data in this report is true.
____________________________________ __________________
Lori Meadows, Executive Director Date
Public policy at all levels supports the arts in Kentucky
A. Local, state and federal elected officials are knowledgeable about the work of the
Kentucky Arts Council.
B. Legislation is supportive of the Kentucky Arts Council, arts organizations and
artists.
C. Public policy is supportive of arts education.
INTERPRETATION:
Favorable policy or legislation is that which is supportive not only of the arts in general, but
also of the work of the Kentucky Arts Council (KAC), the state agency charged with
"developing and promoting a broadly-conceived state policy of support for the arts in
Kentucky" per the enabling legislation. In addition to legislation, public policy may also refer to
public perception and how it can affect ultimately legislation. The changes to Policy 1.5 made
this year by the board have strengthened the intent and direction of the policy--it’s important to
work at all levels and not just at the state level, and the policy is clearly focused.
REPORT:
Local, state and federal elected officials are knowledgeable about the work of the
Kentucky Arts Council.
The KAC continues to be proactive in increasing the knowledge and understanding
of the General Assembly regarding the KAC and the arts in general. In 2014, the agency hosted
the ninth annual Arts Day activities. Kentucky Arts Partnership grantees came to the state
capitol to receive a grant payment and have their photograph taken while receiving a
presentation check from their legislators and the Kentucky Arts Council. The day also included
introductions of Governor's Awards recipients and reading of proclamations in recognition of
Arts Day in both the House and Senate chambers.
Over the years, the attendance at the evening reception has declined. Though we work with the
Legislative Research Commission’s scheduling office to select a date for the event, evening
ADDENDUM C
2
receptions have become so numerous that, as a small agency, it’s difficult to gather a large
group of legislators. This year, we changed the activities to make it more of a “celebratory”
occasion. A light brunch was served during the morning photographs to encourage attendees to
chat with their elected officials and each other. From 1-3 p.m. we hosted a celebration of the
arts in the capitol rotunda and mezzanine with light refreshments, music by Kentucky
performers, and Kentucky Crafted artists demonstrating their work. The atmosphere at the
event was positive, and we had an increase in attendance by both legislators and constituents.
We’ll continue this format for 2015, hopefully being able to identify a larger space in the annex
for the photographs.
The KAC provides semiannual reports to legislators regarding the funding made to their county
through all agency programs, and all legislators are sent a copy of the agency's annual report
and other special publications; in 2014 we added copies of the public value reports for Kentucky
Arts Partnership organizations within their counties to the communications. Letters are sent to
legislators for major public events, such as Kentucky Crafted: The Market, informing them of
the event and letting them know about participants from their region. Members of the General
Assembly who have Governor's Awards recipients in their districts are invited to attend the
luncheon with their constituent.
The KAC also works to present information through the media including our monthly column in
The Lane Report, press releases and when possible, op-eds in support of the arts such as the one
we provided for Secretary Stewart that was published in the Courier Journal on Arts Day.
For the eighth year the KAC presented an exhibition of artwork by Kentucky artists in the
Senate and House Majority Leadership offices and the public spaces of the capitol annex. The
exhibit is generally up from December through April and has become a popular event in the
capitol annex. Legislative members and their staff often request specific art to be placed in the
areas by their office, and everyone involved is supportive of the effort.
The KAC actively promotes the role the arts play in various industries. For example, during
National Travel and Tourism Week in May we released communications to the press regarding
the importance of Kentucky’s cultural assets and landscape to the tourism industry and
promoted the cultural districts as unique places to visit. We also made available the findings
from the report from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis and the National Endowment for
the Arts that provides the first ever in-depth analysis of the arts and cultural sector’s
contributions to current-dollar gross domestic product, a measure of the final dollar value of all
goods and services produced in the United States.
With the completion and release of the creative industry study, the KAC will have baseline
documentation and a “roadmap” for how the arts and cultural assets and businesses across the
state contribute to economic, tourism, and community development. This information will help
us continue to promote the value of the arts.
Legislation is supportive of the Kentucky Arts Council, arts organizations, and artists
Our focus continues to be on raising the visibility of the arts and demonstrating how the arts
can play a significant role in community, economic, education and tourism development. This
is a continuing educational process with legislators, local officials, entities within state
ADDENDUM C
3
government, other industries and the general public. Though there has not been specific
legislation that is supportive of the arts, the agency has also not suffered under new legislation
as have so many other state arts agencies.
The KAC actively supports and advocates for federal funding for the arts through the National
Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and arts education funding through the Department of
Education. We communicate with Kentucky's congressional delegation to make sure they are
aware of the value of public funding for the arts and how those dollars support activities,
schools, organizations and communities in Kentucky.
The KAC publicly promotes NEA funding that comes into the state to organizations and
communities by issuing press releases announcing the funding. It is not always clearly
understood that in addition to the state arts partnership funding that comes directly to the KAC
as the state arts agency, there are additional funds that come into the state to communities and
organizations, or to recipients of literary arts fellowships through the NEA’s sole remaining
individual artist funding program.
We also continue to find ways to connect with local elected officials, generally mayors and
judge executives. Making presentations or attending meetings in local communities provides the
opportunity to meet local officials and enables them to make the connection between the KAC
and initiatives, funding or programs in which we have played a role that are happening in their
community. We sent notification letters to the mayors of Lexington, Louisville, the cultural
district communities and other cities that were awarded more than two grants from the KAC in
FY2014. We hope to eventually send these letters to local officials of all communities that
receive funding or technical assistance from the KAC.
The KAC continues to work with constituents to ensure that they credit the KAC for funding
and technical support. Each grant recipient is required to write a letter to their legislators letting
them know about the receipt of funds from the KAC and to credit the KAC on all written and
electronic materials and publications. We monitor this process, and when a constituent's
materials are received having either no, or incorrect, credit information the constituent is
contacted by the KAC.
Public policy is supportive of arts education.
State public policy is not specifically supportive of arts education at this time, though it has
improved somewhat over the past two years. We are actively working with the arts and
humanities consultant at the Department of Education to train and coach teaching artists and
educators in ways to develop and respond to the arts and humanities program review. We plan
to release more information regarding the status of arts education in Kentucky, based on the
Arts Education study produced by South Arts this year.
We continue to focus on educating and informing as well as laying the groundwork for the
future. Working to ensure that we are seen as valuable partners and that we can provide data
and resources demonstrating the importance of the arts in economic, community, tourism and
education development will assist us in being able to make a case for important issues in the
future. I am therefore reporting compliance with Ends Statement 1.5.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board
Kentucky Arts Council
FROM: Lori Meadows
DATE: September 2014
SUBJECT: Monitoring Report for Policy 2.6
I hereby present my monitoring report on Executive Limitations Policy 2.6 Grants Panels
Composition in accordance with the monitoring schedule as set forth in board policy. I certify that the
data in this report is true.
____________________________________ __________________
Lori Meadows, Executive Director Date
Monitoring Report for Policy 2.6
With respect to the establishment of grants panels, the Executive Director may not fail to
ensure that panel composition achieves a balance of expertise, diversity, objectivity and
experience in the panel process.
Accordingly, the executive director shall not fail to ensure that:
1. Panels consist of arts professionals and other individuals with relevant experience.
2. Panels consist of a balance of in-state and out-of-state panelists according to the
needs of individual programs.
3. Attempts are made to achieve gender and ethnic diversity on individual panels.
4. Composition of Kentucky Arts Council panels, aggregated, attempts to reflect the
population of Kentucky.
5. No panelist serves more than three consecutive years on the panel of any one
program.
6. In order to achieve continuity in the panel process, one or two panelists are
invited to repeat each year.
INTERPRETATION:
This policy outlines directives to ensure that the grant and adjudicated programs are reviewed
by panels made up of highly qualified individuals. Selection of panelists should be based on
background and experience, with a combination of out-of-state and in-state panelists ensuring
a broad perspective. Panels should mirror the diversity of the Commonwealth, with ethnic
and gender balance. Each panel should have at least one repeat panelist for continuity if
possible, but no individual panelist should sit on the same panel for more than three
consecutive years.
REPORT:
The Kentucky Arts Council (KAC) consistently follows these directives when selecting
panelists. An extensive database of potential panelists is maintained and board members
ADDENDUM C
serving as panel chairpersons are asked to evaluate panelists for participation in future
panels.
There is an attempt to include a return panelist on every panel. While panelists with no prior
experience may be invited to serve, we ensure that there is a balance of experienced and
inexperienced panelists. All panelists receive instruction consisting of an initial phone call
inviting them to serve; written communication by way of letter and/or email confirming
details for the panel; written panel format and process documents; written program
guidelines; and a follow-up phone call after panel books have been received to answer any
questions. In addition, panelists attend an orientation the evening before or morning of the
panel meeting.
From July 2013 – June 2014 the arts council conducted 20 external panels using a total of 69
panelists. Of these, 40 were from Kentucky and 29 were from out of state. The Kentucky
Arts Partnership program uses a majority of out-of-state panelists and the Fellowship
program uses all out-of-state panelists. The attached panel statistics document outlines
geographic representation, gender, ethnic or racial group, and non-voting chairman for each
panel. A summary of the statistics is also included. (Note: Ethnic diversity is indicated using
the National Standards Codes required by the National Endowment for the Arts.)
Panel composition during the past year achieved a balance of expertise, diversity, objectivity
and experience. I am therefore reporting compliance with Policy 2.6.
