Well written: I enjoy your calm, balanced perspective. Do you have any links to quantitative studies or meta-analyses? What can we do to prevent what sounds like a death in the family?

Comment on sitka to dumbo: select artists’ opportunities by Rick Araluce

Noticed that the DUMBO Arts Center opportunity only applies to those living in the 5 boroughs of New York. Bummer….. It’s a cool space.

Posted in December! Ah me, why hadn’t I seen this before?
Thanks for the reminder and the nostalgic reflections… …
It would be nice to see some of the creativity that was featured in the Parade of Pigs (& Nutcrackers) that were presented mainly to the North a few years ago. Along with the celebration events involved.

Thank you saying that Paul. I think there’s a way for this to be a win for the businesses, the artists and the public. It’s all artists to submit their ideas and for the panel to select some memorable ones.

I know that Scott Lawrimore is hoping so…

“I’m hoping that if we get the right combination of applications and open minded jurors, we can make this thing bigger and better with real long-term, historical ramifications.”

I think he’s right and I hope you (reader) apply.

I remember those wonderful First Thursday art “celebrations.” Paul is correct in that Pioneer Square became inhospitable to all but the “sanctioned” dealers. That’s why the artists moved to Georgetown. Like most cities, the local art community gives a neighborhood its vibrancy. Then the capitalists move in and sanitize in the name of “safety”. (More like profit.)

While I applaud this effort to revitalize the art scene in Pioneer Square, I hope those in charge of judging will keep their minds open.

Comment on from the director: lodging tax for culture by Jack Hilovsky

Jack Hilovsky — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 04:46:42 +0000

Jim,
You make a strong argument for how “quality of life” which our lodging tax had advanced by supporting arts and heritage is crucial to our drawing an educated workforce and maintaining a vibrant economy.

As the Director of the Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce, I see how the power of the arts make a huge difference in our community and differentiates us from other neighborhoods due to the number of artists and arts groups situated on the Hill.

In the future, please feel free to call on me for testimony to the power of the arts as an economic incubator for communities.

Keep up the good work.

My best,
Jack Hilovsky
Director, Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce

Ever since I found out about 4culture.org, when Cath Brunner and a colleague came to Victoria BC (at the invitation of our Capital Regional District’s Arts Development Office) for the first time to talk about public art, I’ve admired – nay, lusted after – your work: what you do, how you do it, and what you make possible in King County. I cannot fathom why successful and vibrant work like this would be crippled through reallocation of funding. It’s like a case of mistaken identity: as if a healthy person were misdiagnosed as having some kind of serious chronic illness and was forced to undergo a therapy that ends up making him or her ill. Leave healthy agencies alone to do their amazing work; apply medicine (including budget restructuring) to those that need it.

The reason for cutting your budget (to service stadia debt) makes me real nervous, incidentally, given the still-undisclosed bills that British Columbia will face in the wake of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. BC already took money away from the arts in its last budget…

Comment on 4Culture encourages project proposals for “century 21″ anniversary by Byron

Byron — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 04:30:23 +0000

Century 21?! Already?

Oh yeah, that’s now. I miss when the Space Needle was orange. I think about Future/Past and color as Scriabin’s birthday was yesterday — a seeming non-sequitor, but this has to do with projections, prognostications, and synesthesia, right?

Looking forward to 2012.

Comment on did you know ships have knees? by Brandi Link

Brandi Link — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 18:29:11 +0000

Hi Laura – The perspective of the photo is a bit misleading, makes it appear that it is part of the keel assembly. But our experts have confirmed, it is a knee.

For those of you (like me) that are a little fuzzy on the difference – a knee is an angle bracket that holds up the deck beams. A keel is the long, deep, straight part of the bottom of the hull that helps the boat go on a straight course. Learn something new everyday.

Thanks to Shannon Fitzgerald and Diana Hennick from Northwest Seaport for the clarification!

Thanks Laura. We were told it’s a knee… but we will do some more research and update this post when we have more info. In the meantime, please come by and check it out and let us know what you think.

Comment on did you know ships have knees? by Laura Bowker

Laura Bowker — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:53:03 +0000

I believe you have a typo in your article. I am guessing that you have a wooden keel. A keel is the backbone of a ship, which gives strength to a ship. There are different layers to a keel. The false keel is a smaller keel which is attached to the bottom of the keel to protect the main keel if damaged in shallow water. The ribs of the ship are attached to the Keel. The keelson is attached to the top of the ribs and bolts go through the keelson, the ribs and the keel. This is what attaches the ribs to the ship. In prior years, I was a Shipwright and spent many years working in the shipyards. For those of you who do not know, a Shipwright is a marine carpenter. I hope to be able to come down to see what you have.

Thanks,
Laura B.

Hi Carrie -
I emailed my friends at Washington Lawyers for the Arts to ask if they will be hosting their terrific tax workshop for artists, as they have for many years.

I received a reply this morning that yes indeed, Neil Sussman will return in February to present his VERY helpful tax workshop for artists.

Visit http://www.thewla.org/ to sign up for email alerts about this and other legal workshops.
