Comment on How to get funding and/or support from 4Culture in 2012 by Tommy Prigmore

Tommy Prigmore — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 05:07:20 +0000

Hello,

I am new to this website. I am a small business owner looking to increase revenues in 2012.

I perform with three different musical organizations. The Elliott Bay Music Group, The Swamp Dogs, and a new group called the PGP – Paid Gig Project.

I am looking to secure performances for pay in 2012.

How can I use your service to aid me in this endeavor?

Thank you for your assistance.

Tina has brought so much more to the county and 4Culture than her job description, her insightful comments and rigorous thinking have helped shape the thinking of the agency team.

We will be missing you at our monthly PAAC meetings as well as on this blog and the many other public faces of 4Culture.
Your next ventures can only be even more amazing.

In addition to her contributions enumerated here, Tina was a tireless source of information during the push to secure 4Culture’s permanent funding stream. Her tweets got out the word moment-to-moment about progress toward our goal, one of the best uses of social media I’ve seen.

I know Tina will continue to use her skills as a writer, artist, and educator for the benefit of arts and culture in King County, but I will miss seeing her at 4Culture!

Tina took that “educational” bull by the horns, making smart quips at the same time, and thrilled us as we watched her do it through tears of laughter. I tip my hat to you Tina. And while I know that the bittersweet parting goes in all directions, the multidimensional legacy Tina leaves behind can and will be built upon when the $$ shows up once again.

Meanwhile I hope she is preparing to launch herself down that next path with her typical aplomb, leaving a trail of tweets.

“They walk slowly, heel to toe, a designated number of steps, then stop and, eyes closed, place the tip of a yellow wooden 2B pencil into the gravel at the tip of their front boot… At the command “turn and mark,” Cody and Laura mark their locations with a little cairn of larger rocks, turn to face each other, and retrace their steps….”

Yep, sounds like ballet to me!

Were this type of comprehensive investigation only also occurring as part of the Central Waterfront Art Planning……………

Comment on gallery4culture: exhibition opportunity by Margot Myers

I so wish that those of us just a little bit further north (Whatcom County) were allowed to apply to this opportunity!!! What would it take to broaden consideration for showing work created not too far from King County?

I will certainly miss Tina. She is an inspiring 4Culture ambassador and I was drawn in by her passion for connecting people and art through imaginative means. Plus, she taught me how to use Twitter and made me excited to tweet. No small task.
Best of luck and rock on Tina!

These photographs remind me very much of the 1930′s artwork in Painting Seattle: Kamekichi Tokita and Kenjiro Nomura currently on display at the Seattle Asian Art Museum.

Commas would have been good in my earlier comment (Tina opened the door wide, via the Internet, … involvement with patrons and artists clear), and apostrophes unwanted (While YOUR leaving 4Culture is a loss).
Blame these oopses on the shock, reading about Tina’s leaving, and that the position is cut all together. Ouch.
How is 4Culture going to fill the space I wonder, there’s still a need for news…

Kudos for Tina! I’m so glad I got to meet her during her time at 4Culture, she definitely opened the door wide via the Internet making if not the inner workings, then the results of your organization’s involvement with patrons and artists. The phone app is fan-tas-tic, the blog a steady river of information, the website state of the art.

Thanks Tina! Will continue seeing you Online, and IRL I’m sure. While you’re leaving 4Culture is a loss to all of us in the Seattle Art world, I hope it means you’ll have more time to spend on your own writing and art.

I have become better connected to our public art and artists, and more informed about public art and it’s great value to our communities, through Tina’s energetic work. What a loss. Thank you, Tina!

Nothing can replace the force that is Tina Hoggatt. Her contribution is a rare resource and her influence unmistakable. Whomever next gets to greet you every morning is lucky indeed.

Tina is awesome to work with (insightful, bright, enthusiastic, wickedly funny) and she will be greatly missed.

In related news, the Henry Art Gallery will present sculpture by Cambodian artist Sopheap Pich, whose work about returnees served as inspiration for the new play. Sopheap Pich is collaborating with Don Fels and Mark Jenkins on set design… His installation at the Henry opens to the public November 10! Check it out: http://www.henryart.org/events/show/476!

Thanks for your question Joan… there is a total honorarium budget of $400 for each month in the gallery. So if there is more than one artist involved, the honorarium is divided.

I would like to know how you can help us…with our cultural dances. We need to secure a building or room to hold our native dances. At the moment we are at the good graces of our local church. we have two dance groups and each has to wait and see if there will be a church function before we can actually schedule a dance. our groups are very huge.

I’m interested in applying for the Gallery exhibition. Before I invite another artist to partner with me, can you let me know if there’s any stipend or artist fee?
