P R E S I D E N T ’ S M E S S A G E 

To The Congress of The United States: 

It is my pleasure to transmit herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment 

for the Arts for the fiscal year 1995. 

On September 29, 1995, at the close of the fiscal year, the Arts Endowment celebrated 

its 30th anniversary. A young man or woman born at the same time as this Federal 

agency’s establishment has enjoyed access to the arts and culture unparalleled in the 

history of the country. The National Endowment for the Arts has helped bring tens of 

thousands of artists into schools, teaching tens of millions of students about the power 

of the creative imagination. This small Federal agency has helped launch a national 

cultural network that has grown in size and quality these past 30 years. 

This Annual Report is another chapter in a great success story. In these pages, you will 

find projects that bring the arts to people in every State and in thousands of communities from Putney, Vermont, to Mammoth Lakes, California. The difference art makes 

in our lives is profound; we see more clearly, listen more intently, and respond to our 

fellow man with deeper understanding and empathy. 

In these challenging times, when some question the value of public support for the 

arts, we should reflect upon our obligation to the common good. The arts are not a 

luxury, but a vital part of our national character and our individual human spirit. The 

poet Langston Hughes said, "Bring me all of your dreams, you dreamers. Bring me 

all of your heart melodies..." For 30 years, the Arts Endowment has helped keep those 

dreams alive for our artists and our audiences. May it long continue to do so. 

William J. Clinton

1995 was a year of great change for the National Endowment for the Arts. The 

agency turned 30 on September 29, 1995, and at that moment, we made a new 

beginning. The year engaged us in a comprehensive planning process, creating 

the blueprint for a reinvented, streamlined National Endowment for the Arts. By 

late September, plans were in place to allow the agency in 1996 to reach a broad 

spectrum of arts organizations and the American public. 

The fundamental change in direction moves the agency toward a more integrated 

consideration of the impact that art has upon communities. Although we continue 

the expertise in all fields that has made the Endowment so distinguished in its 

leadership, we no longer fund each discipline separately. In addition to our public 

partnerships with state arts agencies and regional arts organizations, we now fund 

projects through four important divisions: 

Heritage & Preservation - for projects which honor, assist and make visible those 

arts rooted in and reflective of the many traditions that make up our nation’s 

culture, and for projects which preserve our most significant artistic accomplishments and works of art. 

Education & Access - for projects which broaden and deepen arts education 

experiences for people of all ages, or to broaden access to the arts by reaching out 

to new audiences or introducing audiences to art forms to which exposure has 

been limited or nonexistent. 

Creation & Presentation - for the creation of new work and the presentation of 

new and existing works of any culture, period or discipline. 

Planning & Stabilization - for projects which focus on organizational planning, 

strengthening capacity internally or within an arts field, sustaining the arts, building partnerships, and developing new resources. 

Another major change is the limitation on the number of applications frown any 

one organization. In the past, organizations with multiple programs submitted 

multiple applications. Beginning in 1996, we will accept only one application per 

organization to one of the four divisions. Additionally, organizations may form 

consortia to apply to one of the four divisions. 

Applications will be reviewed through a four-tiered process. The first will be the 

traditional review by a jury of experts in a shared discipline. The next step will be 

a review by a combined arts panel, with expertise in many different areas. The 

third step is adjudication by the National Council on the Arts, and the fourth is 

the final review of the Chairman.

It is zny hope that the new structure will encourage community-wide cooperation 

in addition to collaboration within and across arts disciplines. This new structure 

was born out of the notion that sustainable strength of the nonprofit arts can be 

achieved through unity of organizations which share a common mission or even 

a common home. 

The success of our new structure will be measured in future annual reports. While 

this has been a hard year at the Endowment, it has not been without its rewards 

and many successes. A few bear special mention. 

The Endowment has made a strong effort to work with other agencies of the 

Federal government in support of projects in the arts that fit within the mission 

of President Clinton’s Administration. In Fiscal Year 1995, the Endowment participated in 30 formal partnership agreements with other agencies, including the 

Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Justice, State, Transportation, the General 

Services Administration, the Corporation for National Service and the U.S. Information Agency. 

These efforts have resulted in such projects which impact favorably upon our 

children and communities. WritersCorps, which brings 60 writers to work with 

inner-city communities in the Bronx, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., is 

funded in partnership with the AmeriCorps. Pathways to Success, a partnership

bombing. 

~ith the Office of Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention supports after-school 

and weekend programs for at-risk youth. Arts and Prevention, a collaboration 

with the Department of Health and Human Services, resulted in the inclusion of 

arts organizations under the funding guidelines for grants awarded to community 

coalitions providing substance abuse and mental health services. In partnership 

with the Department of Education, the Endowment assists over 100 national arts 

and education organizations to implement arts education in the curriculum. 

Perhaps the most poignant of all of our partnerships came about in response to 

tragedy. After the bombing of the Federal building in Oklahoma City, the Arts 

Endowment collaborated with the General Services Administration, the Department of Transportation, and the Department 

of Housing and Urban Development to begin 

the process of community rebuilding through 

a design initiative. An exhibition, "We Will 

Be Back: Oklahoma City Rebuilds," details 

the community-wide design workshop held in 

Oklahoma City in the summer of 1995. 

Every fiscal year begins on October 1 for the 

Federal government, a happy coincidence 

for the cultural community, since October is 

National Arts & Humanities Month. In October 

1994, at the beginning of the fiscal year, the 

President awarded the National Medal of Arts 

to 11 distinguished artists and patrons and one arts organization on the White 

House lawn. The 1994 Medals went to: singer Harry Belafonte, pianist and composer Dave Brubeck, singer Celia Cruz, violin teacher Dorothy DeLay, actress 

Julie Harris, dancer/choreographer Erick Hawkins, dancer and actor Gene Kelly, 

folk musician Pete Seeger, arts patron Catherine Filene Shouse, artist and teacher 

Wayne Thiebaud, poet and playwright Richard Wilbur and the arts education 

organization Young Audiences. At a luncheon that week, I had the distinct pleasure of awarding rosettes to former members of the National Council on the Arts, 

designating them as Ambassadors for the Arts. 

Throughout the year, I continued to meet with people in communities all across 

the country. It is clear to me that there is a genuine hunger for more arts in our 

towns and cities; art performances and exhibitions are a few remaining activities 

that bring people together in a community and give a sense of the common 

legacy they share. 
C H A I R M A N ’ S M E S S A G E
 

A sense of community rounds out each fiscal year when the Endowment presents 

the National Heritage Awards. At a White House ceremony hosted by the First 

Lady, the following individuals from communities across our great country 

received this highest honor for our nation’s folk and traditional artists: 

Bao Mo-Li, Chinese-Americanjing ehru player from Flushing, New York 

Mary Holiday Black, Navajo basketweaver from Medicine Hat, Utah 

Lyman Enloe, old-time fiddler from Lee’s Summit, Missouri 

Donny Golden, Irish-American stepdancer from Brooklyn, New York 

Wayne Henderson, luthier from Mouth of Wilson, Virginia 

Bea Ellis Hensley, blacksmith from Spruce Pine, North Carolina 

Nathan Jackson, Tlingit woodcarver/metalsmith/dancer from Ketchikan, Alaska 

Danongan Kalanduyan, Filipino-American kulintang musician from San Francisco, California 

Robert Jr. Lockwood, African-American Delta 

blues guitarist from Cleveland, Ohio 

Israel "Cachao" Lopez, Afro-Cuban bassist/ 

composer/bandleader from Miami, Florida 

Nellie Star Boy Menard, Lakota Sioux 

quiltmaker from Rosebud, South Dakota 

Buck Ramsey, cowboy poet and singer from 

Amarillo, Texas 

During the ceremony, Mrs. Clinton remarked: 

"In these challenging times when some may 

seek to divide us, when some question the value 

of public support for the arts, we must remember that art is not a frill or extravagance. Art is a 

vital part of our national character. Art, in all its forms, unites our people, for its 

speaks the common language of our intellect, our emotion, and our spirit." 

Fitting words to conclude the 30th anniversary year of the National Endowment 

for the Arts, words which give us impetus to begin our fourth decade of public 

service through the arts.

National Endowment for the Arts, an independent agency of the 

Federal government, was established by Congress in 1965 to support the 

creation of American art, to broaden public awareness of the arts, and to 

increase public participation in our culture. We serve the American people 

primarily through grants to artists, nonprofit arts organizations and public 

arts agencies, as well as through leadership initiatives, and advocacy. 

The Arts Endowment supports literary, visual, design and performing arts organizations which create and present performances, exhibitions, projects and programs. 

Through partnerships with foundations, corporations and other donors, it serves 

as a catalyst to increase non-Federal contributions to cultural activity. Partnerships 

with local, state, regional and other Federal agencies fund arts education projects 

for both children and adults and provide access to the arts for all Americans. 

Our Mission 

The mission of the National Endowment for the Arts is: 

To foster the excellence, diversity and vitality of the arts in 

the United States, and 

To broaden public access to the arts. 

The Process 

In Fiscal Year 1995, the Arts Endowment awarded grants to individual artists, arts 

groups and other nonprofit organizations that applied for support through the 

programs listed in this report. Because the agency received nearly four times more 

applications than it can support, the receipt of a grant represents a distinct honor. 

Beginning in Fiscal Year 1996, the programs will be streamlined into four divisions: 

Heritage & Preservation 

Education & Access 

Creation & Presentation 

Planning & Stabilization 

The agency will continue its partnership with the state and jurisdictional and 

regional arts agencies and support a limited number of leadership initiatives. To 

find out more about the structural changes, please consult the 1996 guidelines. 
THE ARTS ENDOWMENT IN BRIEF 

Hundreds of private citizens with expertise in the arts came to Washington to 

review applications and make funding recommendations in 1995. A typical panel 

is composed of 12 persons, including one "layperson" who does not earn a living 

as an artist or through an arts organization. Panel recommendations are then 

reviewed by the National Council on the Arts in an open, public meeting. 

Applications which the Council recommends for funding are then reviewed by 

the Chairman for final approval. This process will also change in 1996. 

The Chairman and National Council 

Appointed by the President of the United States with advice and consent from 

the U.S. Senate, the Chairman is the agency’s chief executive officer as well as 

Chairman of the National Council on the Arts. Jane Alexander was named to this 

position by President Clinton and took office on October 8, 1993. 

The National Council on the Arts advises the Chairman on policies, programs, 

grants and procedures. Composed of 26 private citizens appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, the Council represents various arts disciplines, 

including arts patronage. Council members serve six-year terms, staggered so 

that roughly one-third of the body rotates every two years.

The Advisory Panels 

All of the Arts Endowment’s grant-making programs are advised by panels: 

rotating groups of private American citizens, both professional artists and 

knowledgeable lay persons. Selected from every region in the country, the panelists mirror our nation’s diversity of race, gender, and aesthetics. Appointed by 

the Chairman, advisory panels meet throughout the year to review applications, 

develop or revise program guidelines, and provide advice on how the programs 

may best serve the field. 

Panel nominations are welcome from any source at any time. Membership rotates 

regularly, so no member may serve on a panel more than three consecutive years. 

You cannot serve on any panel that might consider your application or that of 

your organization. 

In 1996, the Endowment will review applications from arts organizations according to their discipline or field, but the panels will consist of experts from the 

combined arts field according to each of the funding themes. Please consult the 

1996 guidelines for changes. 
THE ARTS ENDOWMENT IN BRIEF 

Methods of Funding 

The Arts Endowment provided thre~ major types of financial assistance: 

| Matching grants for projects of artistic merit to nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations. Applicants must match the Endowment award at least dollar-for-dollar with 

non-Federal contributions. 

| Matching grants to state, local and regional arts agencies. 

Non-matching grants to individual artists of exceptional talent. Beginning in 

996, grants to individuals, with the exception of creative writing fellowships, the 

American Jazz Master Awards and the National Heritage Awards, will no longer 

be offered. 

Impact of Endowment Grants 

Every grant directly benefits the grantee and thus their home community and 

state. Endowment dollars attract private contributions, and this partnership 

stimulates local economic activity. 

Some of our grants attract audiences nationwide through radio and television 

broadcasts, publications and recordings. Others reach wide audiences through 

touring - of a dance company or a museum exhibition, for example. By providing 

management or technical assistance, professional training, career development, 

research or information, grants in each of the disciplines raise the standards for 

arts organizations nationwide. 

This Annual Report 

The organization of this annual report reflects the agency’s structure in Fiscal 

1995, and it is designed to provide an overview of our programs and financial 

obligations. The total number of awards and amounts listed in each program are 

our financial commitments made in Fiscal 1995. In order to give a thorough 

financial summary, we report both obligations and awards. Cooperative agreements, projects in which the agency has special oversight or active involvement, 

such as the Mayors’ Institute on City Design, are also noted. Interagency agreements with other Federal agencies are included in summary reports organized by 

category in each of the discipline programs. 

Summary reports of the agency’s financial transactions are included as an appendix. A detailed history of all previous authorizations and appropriations is available through the Office of Communications.

ith support form the Endowment’s Dance Program, major artists and companies 

continue to enrich the cultural landscape of the nation with the creation of new 

works, restaging of master works, and impressive collaborations. Audiences all 

over the country now have access to performances by ballet and modern dance 

companies, folk and traditional dance troupes, tap, jazz and experimental work. 

The unparalleled diversity of artistic vision coupled with superbly trained dancers 

and eager audiences have allowed artists to tackle ever more ambitious programs. 

Artistically, American dance is thriving. 

However, artistic vigor cannot mask the increasingly eroded infrastructure upon 

which the dance world rests. A number of concerns loom on the horizon: deficits, 

fewer touring engagements, fewer performances at home, and decreasing financial support from public and private sources. These realities, in combination with 

such larger societal problems such as AIDS, have placed this ephemeral artform 

in danger. 

The Dance Program acted to strengthen the artistic health of the field and to 

respond to the need for systemic support. In Fiscal Year 1995, the Program 

awarded fellowships to choreographers who work in a variety of genres and styles, 

including West African, ballet, baroque, Butoh, East Indian, hip hop, Mexican, 

modern, postmodern, Native American, tap and vogue. The 97 dance companies 

supported by the Program also 

reflected this impressive range. 

In recent years, there has been an 

increasing awareness and appreciation 

of the diversity of American dance, 

arguably one of the rich and most 

varied dance cultures that has ever 

existed. The resource this represents 

for artists is now international in 

scope. For example, Zivili, a dance 

company whose repertory includes the 

dances, costumes and music of the 

countries that once formed Yugoslavia, 

is a repository in Granville, Ohio, for 

a cultural heritage that has been destroyed by civil war. Many dances from 

Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia are now 

only performed by the artists of Zivili. 

The Eugene Ballet 

received a Dance 

Company grant for 

statewide touring 

and educational 

programs. 
D A N C E
 

The Program’s support to most dance companies centered on artistic core 

concerns such as development of new dances, touring, performances at home, 

and reaching out to new audiences through school and community programs. 

An effort to strengthen the sinews connecting artists and companies to the public 

was provided by support from the Services to the Field category. The Program 

addressed such critical concerns as the preservation of dances, keeping performance and rehearsal space affordable, the exchange of information, and helping 

dancers make the transition from life as a performer to new careers and role. 

Public participation in dance has also remained a priority. Support of touring has 

allowed many companies to perform for audiences far from their home base. The 

Eugene Ballet Company from Oregon received support to perform throughout 

the West. Muntu Dance Theater from Chicago used its grant to tour historically 

black colleges throughout the South. In addition to acquiring and performing 

such classics of American modern dance as Dianne McIntyre’s restaging of Helen 

Tamiris’s "How Long Brethren," the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Company from 

Denver used dance to work with inner-city at-risk youth.

~ have benefited significantly this year from the Design Program’s 

support of architecture, landscape architecture, urban design and planning, 

historic preservation, and interior, fashion, graphic, industrial and product 

design. Through its unique position as a multi-disciplinary national resource, 

the Design Program fosters communication and collaboration among all design 

disciplines and allied fields. 

The Design Program helps designers work together to build a better America 

through a balance of competitively awarded grants for design projects and a 

variety of special leadership initiatives undertaken by the Program. Calling upon 

its extensive contact with all the design disciplines, the Program shaped categories 

that reflect the needs of the field and plans projects that expand design activity 

in the private and public sectors. 

Rapid advances in technology and communication are bringing about profound 

changes in people’s ability to interact with one another, and in our definition and 

perception of the public realm. The resulting economic, social and cultural 

changes at personal, community and global levels present timely challenges to 

designers to work across geographic and professional boundaries. During 1995, 

Design Access, an agency initiative, offered an unique public resource for multidisciplinary information on design activity. By placing one call, anyone could gain 

access to a sophisticated database of information on all the design disciplines and 

be put in touch with participants in design projects previously funded through the 

Design Program. Building on this service, the agency is preparing for a 1996 

launch of Civiscape, an experimental 

on-line series of forums in which 

design professionals and civic groups 

can post, critique, and explore design problems and potential solutions 

relevant to American communities. 

The Mayors’ Institute on City Design, 

a program initiative celebrating 

its ninth successful year, brought 

together multi-disciplinary groups 

of design professionals with mayors 

from cities across the country including Albuquerque, Anaheim, Buffalo, 

Toledo, Fort Collins, Saint Paul, 

Oklahoma City and Bayamon, Puerto 

Rico. Together these individuals 

analyzed each mayor’s chosen urban

design problem from physical, economic, 

social, and environmental perspectives. Issues 

addressed the siting of major transportation 

and infrastructure projects, redevelopment 

of derelict and dated strip shopping centers, 

strategies for creating waterfront public 

amenities and planning of major civic spaces. 

As a result of participating in the spring 

Mayors’ Institute, Mayor Ronald Norick of 

Oklahoma City asked the Design Program to 

assist him and the residents of the city rebuild 

in the aftermath of the devastation caused by 

the April 19, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The 

Design Program organized a design workshop and brought a team of designers 

to Oklahoma City in July to work with local designers, residents and property 

owners in the damaged area, community leaders and city officials to develop a 

vision and guidelines for rebuilding the north downtown area damaged by the 

blast. This work was published in a report, Visions for Renewal, and incorporated 

into an exhibition, "We Will Be Back: Oklahoma City Rebuilds," co-sponsored by 

the National Building Museum with support from the General Services Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Department 

of Transportation. In addition to showing ideas for rebuilding and developing 

north downtown, the exhibition illustrated the human response to the disaster, 

creating a forum for the nation to reflect on the tragedy. 

The Presidential Design Awards, an ongoing initiative begun in 1983, recognized 

Federal design projects that contributed to our country’s legacy of design excellence in the public realm. Award-winning projects included the completion of 

Interstate 90 - a massive transportation/green space development in Seattle, the 

river relocation project in downtown Providence, Rhode Island, and the U.S. 

Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. 

Grants to organizations included support for a collaboration between a lighting 

designer and artist to illuminate Cleveland’s extensive network of bridges as part 

of the city’s 1996 bicentennial. Awards were made to establish a model training 

program for inner-city youth in textile design, production, marketing and sales; 

a grassroots adobe church restoration project in New Mexico; and documentation 

of the landscape, grounds, and buildings of Mark "I~vain’s home in Hartford, Connecticut. Throughout 1995, the Design Program played a critical role in bringing 

together the design disciplines through panels and meetings, its grant support for 

projects, and leadership initiatives.

uiltmaker Hystercine Rankin passes on her generations-old African American 

aesthetics and technique to local women in the front room of Mississippi Cultural 

Crossroads, a local organization dedicated to its community’s cultural and economic renewal in Port Gibson, Mississippi. At Wolf Trap Performing Arts Center 

in Vienna, Virginia, virtuoso Irish stepdancer Donny Golden animates thousands 

of concert goers at one of the nati~;n’s most prestigious Irish cultural festivals, 

organized by the Greater Washington Ceili Club. Cowboy balladeer Buck Ramsey 

sings vintage songs of the West and recites his new poetry in classic forms, moving 

his ranching audience to both tears and laughter at the Western Folklife Center’s 

annual Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada. In Modesto, California, 

renowned Mexican mariachi bandleader Natividad Cano teaches aspiring young 

musicians the finer points of instrumental technique as part of Radio Bilingue’s 

annual Viva el Mariachi festival. In the central Ozark region of Missouri, William 

Graves records his rare dulcimer repertoire to be distributed on compact disc 

by the Missouri State Old-Time Fiddlers Association. At the Robert Abbe Museum 

in Bar Harbor, Maine, Mary Gabriel joins other Native American basketweavers 

from around the state to solve problems of dwindling raw materials, limited 

marketing opportunities, and ways to involve Indian youth in taking up their 

centuries-old traditions. 

What do these people from far-flung corners of the diverse American "culturescape" have in common? They are all seasoned practitioners of artforms often 

called "folk" or "traditional" arts that have been passed on informally within 

groups of people linked by a common culture, language, occupation, or other 

important shared way of life. They also share two deeply-held concerns: that their 

artform be practiced at the highest level of excellence and for the benefit of the 

most people; and that the meaning and power invested in their traditions be put 

at the service of strengthening the cultural communities of which they are a part. 

Finally, they were all assisted in their efforts by support from the Folk &Traditional 

Arts Program of the National Endowment for the Arts. 

American territory has been home to an enormously complex and diverse array 

of cultural traditions, each with its own governing sense of beauty and purpose 

and with its own particular needs. The Folk & Traditional Arts Program has 

worked to heighten awareness and appreciation of these arts both within communities and among the broadest public. Concerts, exhibits, festivals, tours, radio 

and television programs, and school presentations are among the many venues 

through which this has been accomplished, all supported by the Project Grants to 

Organizations category. The National Heritage Fellowship category has brought 

outstanding American traditional artists to wide public attention through 185 

grants awarded since 1982. In 1995, twelve individuals and their tradition were 
F O L K & T R A D I T I O N A L A R T S 

recognized, ranging from the Tlingit Alaskan Native totem pole carving of Nathan 

Jackson to the Chinesejing erhu instrumental mastery of Ms. Bao Mo-Li of New York 

City and the ornamental ironwork of North Carolina blacksmith Bea Ellis Hensley. 

At the same time, the Folk & Traditional Arts Prograln has been responsive to 

specific needs of artists and cultural groups in passing on their traditions to future 

generations. Statewide apprenticeship programs have grown in number - now 

present in 40 states and territories - and a recent study showed that over 2,600 

individual apprenticeships have occurred since the Program’s effort to encourage 

apprenticing was launched in the early 1980s. Instructional workshops by master 

artists passed on skills as diverse as African American gospel music, ancient 

Chinese paperfolding, and Puerto Ricanfibaro music to younger generations. 

While the folk and traditional arts by definition embody accomplishments of past 

generations, a concern for the role of these artforms in forging the cultural future 

is paramount among the artists and communities themselves.

he International Program has helped American artists and arts organizations 

develop international ties that strengthen the many art forms of the United 

States. The Program’s mission was twofold: to broaden the scope of experience 

of American artists in ways that will enrich the art that they create, and to support 

innovative international endeavors that reach new audiences and deepen public 

understanding of the cultural influences from abroad that invigorate American 

society. Its activities increased worldwide recognition of the excellence, diversity, 

and vitality of the arts of the United States and helped U.S. audiences appreciate 

the richness of cultural expression around the globe. 

With very little seed money, the fruits of the International Program’s activities 

have touched the lives of artists and audiences in every part of the United States 

and through the world. Since its inception in 1993, the Program has provided 

funding for approximately 300 projects yearly through partnerships and direct 

grants. These international projects have involved artists and arts organizations 

in 43 states and reached urban, rural, and suburban areas across the country. 

Community leaders throughout the United States are recognizing that high 

quality international cultural exchange provides unmatched experience for their 

artists, enhances the prestige and economic vitality of their towns, sparks interest 

to participate in the global marketplace, and improves the quality of life. Education is at the core of international exchange. Through increased access to such 

activities, the more than 170 different ethnic groups represented in this country 

learn more about the roots of their own cultures and those of other societies. 

Trade and business relationships with other countries can also be strengthened 

through cultural exchange. 

This past year the International Program expanded its International Match Program, a partnership with state and local arts agencies to provide needed support 

at the state and local levels to their constituents engaged in outstanding international arts activities. Pioneered by the Arts Endowment and the Ohio Arts Council, thirty-six state and local arts agencies have agreed to provide grants ranging 

from $750 to $5,000 to individuals or organizations from their states or localities 

that have received Arts Endowment funding for international projects. 

The U.S./Canada/Mexico Creative Artists’ Residencies marked its second year 

in Fiscal Year 1995. In partnership with the governments of Canada and Mexico, 

this program supports residencies for artists from the three countries for residencies in communities throughout North America. The United States/Japan 

Creative Artists’ Fellowships, established in 1978, provide six-month fellowships 

for U.S. artists in Japan and for Japanese artists in the United States. 
I N T E R N A T I 0 N A L 

The International Projects Initiative offers project grants to U.S. cultural organizations to support sustained collaborations and exchange with arts organizations 

abroad. Many integrate arts education into international presentations; others 

increase recognition in this country and abroad of the richness of America’s diverse cultural traditions; other projects bring international presentations of the 

highest quality to underserved communities in the United States. 

One of the greatest successes of the Arts Endowment in the international arena 

has been its ability to attract new funding sources as partners. With so little private sector support for international exchange, the Endowment’s leadership role 

in this area is critical. ArtsLink, a public/private partnership with the Open Society Fund!Soros Centers for Contemporary Arts, The Trust for Mutual Understanding, The Starr Foundation, and CEC International Partners encourages 

artistic interchange with Central and Eastern Europe and the NIS. 

The International Program’s oldest public/private partnership (with the U.S. 

Information Agency, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Pew Charitable Trusts) 

is the Fund for U.S. Artists at International Festivals and Exhibitions which 

supports the participation of artists from throughout the United States in major 

festivals and exhibitions worldwide. Involvement in these prestigious international 

events creates employment for U.S. artists, increases their national and international recognition, and contributes to their creative growth by exposing them to 

new artists, art forms, and audiences.

to the Endowment’s 1993 Public Participation in the Arts Survey, literature 

reaches more Americans than any other surveyed artform. The study documented 

that in 1992 over half the American public read a book or went to a literary reading 

or event. A January 1995 TIME magazine poll reports that more Americans read 

a novel in a year than any other surveyed activity except watching a sporting event 

on television. Even reading a poem within the past year was more popular than 

attending the performing arts. The Literature Program supports the best contemporary literature and makes it widely available to great numbers of Americans. 

Literature is popular partly because it is so accessible to Americans in rural and 

urban areas alike. An artform that goes anywhere, literature reaches millions of 

Americans in their homes, schools, libraries and neighborhoods, and it can tell 

us the .story of our own lives in our own times. 

Because books do not stop at state lines or attract primarily local readers, literature 

has a distinctly national and international impact. American literature, no matter 

where it’s written, is read throughout the country and the world. An author living 

in Montana writes a book that is read in Maine. An independent press in Illinois 

publishes a book that is nominated for the National Book Award and promoted in 

bookstores from Boise to Boston. American writing and American writers represent 

our country and our culture to the wider world. 

Without writers there is no literature. Without publishers there are no books. Without books, there are no readers, and without readers, American literacy and culture 

are impoverished. The Literature Program nourished the full spectrum of literary 

activity, from helping writers find the time to write, to grants to independent publishers to enable them to publish the best noncommercial literature, to support to 

those organizations that bring together writers and readers through reading 

groups, workshops, classes, bookfairs, festivals and other venues. 

The literary fellowship program is one of the Endowment’s outstanding successes. 

Since 1990, 19 of the 24 recipients of the National Book Awards, National Book 

Critics Circle Awards, and Pulitzer Prizes in fiction and poetry have received Endowment fellowships, in all but one case, prior to receipt of the national prize. 

Virtually all other awards recognize past accomplishment; Endowment fellowships 

discover and support America’s best writers at critical early stages in their careers. 

Competition for these awards is particularly intense. Over 97 percent of eligible 

applicants do not receive grants. Applications are judged anonymously by a rotating panel of writers, readers and editors using a process in which literary merit ­

not quotas of any kind - is the sole criterion for awards.

The cover from 

a recent issue of 

The Kenyon Review, 

a well-known 

literary magazine 

published at Kenyon 

College in Ohio. 

Once a book is written, how does it get published? The for-profit publishing industry increasingly is driven by the bottom line, and more and more cookbooks and 

calendars flood the American marketplace. In this era of growing commercialization, small independent publishers in communities across the country dedicate 

themselves to publishing the best literature, not the most lucrative. Modest grants 

from the agency help these small publishers produce high quality literature. From 

1990-93, twenty percent of the books nominated for the National Book Awards 

were published with assistance from the National Endowment for the Arts - an 

extraordinary record when one considers the corporate resources of the commercial New York publishers. 

42 

The agency also supports a wide spectrum of programs for readers. Organizations 

that have grown to serve the writing and reading public are as diverse as service 

organizations for writers, local library and school systems, literary centers in towns 

and suburbs offering classes and workshops, and regional bookfairs sponsored 

by municipal associations. For instance, in Buffalo, New York, Just Buffalo literary 

center cooperates with the local library system and Buffalo Bison minor league 

baseball team to sponsor The Summer Reading League. By completing a certain 

number of books, children earn baseball tickets. Audiences around the country 

enjoy public appearances by prominent writers through the National Writer’s Voice 

Project of the YMCA. The world’s largest provider of childcare and youth services 

and the National Endowment for the Arts now jointly sponsor literature and 

literacy programs for latchkey children at Y’s throughout rural and inner city 

America.

omprising independent film and video and the arts on public television and radio, 

the nonprofit Media Arts field is now almost 30 year~, old. After years of growth, 

there is a pause in the media arts exhilarating journey to establish parity for its 

artform with its performing arts siblings. Where the arts are concerned, public and 

private funds are now less forthcoming as other matters take precedence in several 

funders’ agendas. Increasing costs of production, competition from commercial 

interests (e.g., electronic shopping marts) for delivery space, and a lingering 

puzzlement as to the nature of media arts centers have curtailed ambitions and 

limited performance. New on-line technology seems a natural venue for media 

arts centers, but acquiring a presence requires funds and opportunities not as yet 

available as corporate and public interests are first in- and on-line. 

Despite this, the field, though divided into several camps, shows resilience and 

flexibility. One gauge of its vitality is the continued growth of the main delivery 

system for independent media: the exhibition circuit provided mainly by media 

arts centers, some universities, supplemented by occasional commercial distribution. Some three million people now see American independent film, foreign film, 

third world film, and a wide variety of international and national video art on 

Endowment-supported screens. 

Though distribution opportunities have increased, they have not provided better 

access to the media arts for the public. Missing from the world of not-for-profit 

media is a consistent voice about the place of media in our culture, its potential for 

not only artistic enterprises, but educational, informational and community uses. 

Two areas of activity supported by the Endowment - the artform itself and the 

distribution of all other artforms through broadcast - achieved significant success 

in 1995. In January/February, the ten-part "American Cinema" series was broadcast on PBS on four successive nights to a total audience of 18 million. The series 

instructed viewers on the history, aesthetics, and criticism of American film, and it 

is part of an ambitious project: to bring the best of the American arts of the past 

century to public attention as the Millennium approaches. Series on theater, music, jazz, the novel, photography, and architecture and design are planned, and 

their fate depends upon availability of future funds. 

As a steady background to this enterprise, the on-going television and radio series 

supported by the Endowment provide the public, particularly those deprived of 

access to the live performing arts, with constantly-renewed varieties of excellence. 

Some of today’s greatest artists, such as Yo Yo Ma, Seiji Ozawa, Placido Domingo 

and Itzak Perlman, were brought into living rooms in every state through such 

programs as "Great Performances," "American Masters," "Live from Lincoln 

Center," and "The Metropolitan Opera Presents." A jewel of the past year’s

offerings was the four-part series, "Marsalis on Music," which featured the 

renowned trumpeter’s concerts for young people with an elan rivalling the 

legendary Leonard Bernstein. 

Ubiquitous in all media, Mr. Marsalis also hosted the radio series, "Jazz from 

Lincoln Center," one of the 18 radio series constantly encouraged by the Media 

Arts Program. Covering literature, audio art, drama, classical music, folk and 

much else, these series support the contention of radio professionals that their 

medium is more alert, responsive and adventurous in its programming than 

television. 

There is something elegiac in citing the achievements of individual grantees, 

since this is the last year the Endowment will offer grants to media artists. Ironically, the final cycle was superb both in the deliberations of a judicious, fairminded and, at times, inspired review panel and its results, with such artists as 

Frederick Marx, Yvonne Rainier and Lodge Kerrigan on the recommended list. 

The string of Endowment-supported Academy Award winners continued with the 

success of Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision, by California filmmaker Frieda Lee 

Mock. One critically acclaimed film that was not nominated, the now-legendary 

Hoop Dreams, was initiated with a small regional fellowship grant. The Media Arts 

Program also supported the Academy Award nominee in documentary, Complaints 

ofa Dut~d Daughter, by Deborah Hoffman, which was broadcast on the "P.O.V." 

television series.

This coming year is a testing

Unless media arts centers are 

sustained, the field will shrink

or the first time in nearly 25 years, the Museum Program and the Visual Arts 

Program worked together under one director, shared staff resources, and began 

to explore areas of commonality. In the early years of the Endowment, the Visual 

Arts Program supported both the work of visual artists and the institutions that 

presented, interpreted, and preserved works of art. In 1971, a separate program 

was formed to focus solely on the needs of museums while the Visual Arts Program 

shifted its focus entirely to supporting the various activities of visual artists. This 

configuration was unique in the Endowment; other discipline programs, such as 

Music, Dance or Literature, embraced the full spectrum of activity within the field 

from the creation of new work to the presentation of historical work. 

In October 1995, under the pressure of budget cuts, the Museum and Visual Arts 

Programs were clustered together thus setting up the opportunity for a conversation to take place about the relationship of artists making work today with the 

works of museums large and small across the country. While this conversation was 

taking place, the grantmaking work of the two Programs continued with the 

priorities of past years guiding decisions. No significant changes were made in any 

of the categories or budget allocations with the exception that, as in all programs, 

budgets were less than the previous year, and grants awarded in the latter half 

of the fiscal year were reduced because of rescission. 

The Museum Program supported the full range of activities that occur within 

museums from public presentation, to interpretation and education, to conservation and documentation of artworks of the highest quality. In addition, the 

Program provided training for museum professionals entering various museum 

fields and opportunities 

for seasoned professionals 

to take time to study and 

reflect on new areas of work. 

The Program supported 

projects involving the art 

of all cultures and periods 

brought to audiences 

through a variety of formal 

and informal programs. 

Museums are broadly defined as institutions of any 

kind (collecting or noncollecting) that present 

works of art to the public.

Fellowship. 
MUSEUM AND VISUAL ARTS
 

A Museum Special 

Exhibitions grant 

went to support 

"Pandora’s Box: 

Women in Classical 

Greece" at the 

Waiters Art Gallery 

in Baltimore. 

In addition, the Museum 

Program administered the 

extremely successful Arts 

and Artifacts Indemnity 

Program. Since its inception in 1975, the Indemnity Program has provided 

indemnity against loss or 

damage to works of art 

borrowed from abroad for 

exhibition in this country 

and for domestic loans 

included in such exhibitions, as well as for loans 

of works in American 

collections that are sent 

abroad for exhibition. 

This program brings to 

the American public large 

scale exhibitions that otherwise might not have been seen in this country, such as 

the Vermeer exhibition at the National Gallery of Art. Based on figures supplied 

by the applicants, we estimate that in 1995 alone museums would have had to 

pay well over $12 million to commercially insure the exhibitions approved for 

indemnification. 

The Visual Arts Program supported the creation of new work by American artists 

of exceptional talent and the presentation of contemporary art to diverse audiences through a variety of venues. Since its founding in 1965, the Visual Arts 

Program consistently placed funding for individual artists at the top of its priorities, and this past year was no exception. All of the categories in the Visual Arts 

Program either supported artists directly through fellowships or through artistrun organizations and public arts projects that present their work to the public. 

In 1995, panels of distinguished professionals including artists, museum directors, educators and directors of visual arts organizations convened numerous 

times to examine issues related to the full spectrum of the visual arts field. What 

arose from these conversations and presentations were principles and directions 

that will inform the future work of the Arts Endowment as it relates to the museum and visual arts fields. The participants in the planning process who helped 

shape and clarify our thinking are listed in the panel section as the Planning 

Advisory Panel, the Museum Overview Panel, and the Visual Arts Overview Panel.

MUSEUM AND VISUAL ARTS 

In summary, their recommendations were: 

1. Museums, visual artists organizations and other arts organizations play a significant role in cultivating critical thinking and stimulating the creative imagination 

among all who partake in their programs. These institutions provide public forums 

for, and are facilitators of, lively democratic exchange among widely divergent 

audiences. As such, they constitute a necessary component of a civic and cultural 

network that aids in the strengthening and growth of American civilization. 

2. Under the new grantmaking structure, the Arts Endowment should take into 

account the full spectrum of practice in the visual arts field as it exists in the 

United States today. This means acknowledging the complete visual arts ecology 

that supports artists working alone or in collaboration, public presentation of 

works of art in museums, visual artists organizations and through public art programs, analytical efforts of critics and scholars to interpret and foster an understanding of art, the documentation and preservation of works of art, and the 

cultivation of an appreciation of art among artists and audiences. While the Arts 

Endowment may not be able to support all aspects of this ecology, we acknowledge that in order for there to be a healthy and lively cultural infrastructure, 

all aspects of this system are important and interdependent. 

3. The focus of the Arts Endowment’s funds should go toward linking artists, 

works of art and audiences. Whether this linkage comes as part of a planning 

process, as a method of programming, or as a process of day-to-day management, 

it is an important premise. The Endowment is a "taxpayers’ foundation," and 

fostering the connection between the "investors" and their "investment" is key 

to our future decision making. We are interested in encouraging new ways of 

involving audiences in all the work that museums and visual artists organizations 

do from planning to developing exhibitions, from conservation efforts to education programs. Partnerships among arts institutions, large and small, as well as 

partnerships between arts institutions and governmental agencies or non-arts 

institutions are encouraged. Collaborations between artists and institutions of all 

kinds are a way of exploring new relationships among communities and museums 

and visual artists organizations. 

4. The planning process acknowledged the role of the artist as the generative 

force in building our culture. The works that artists make not only help to elucidate our own times but leave a record of the underlying historical and sociological 

forces of those times. The acknowledgement of the role of the artist as creator and 

as product of his or her time is a central concern. 

1995 was a lively and stimulating year with the pressure for change welling up 

both internally and externally. With the excellent thinking brought to our planning process, the Arts Endowment is well prepared to move into the future to 

serve museums, visual artists organizations, visual artists, and the American public 

with renewed vigor and intelligence.

An interagency agreement to 

support a three-phase project 

to develop a slide archive and 

documentary catalogue of the 

Visual Artists Fellowship recipients, which includes more than 

5,000 artists. 
argest of the Endowment’s programs, the Music Program has increasingly found 

itself reflecting the concerns that face music - and indeed, the culture generally ­

in America. In the public schools of our great cities, arts education has been 

severely reduced or abandoned altogether. While there are bright spots in many 

smaller communities around our country, it is clear that three generations of our 

children have mostly been deprived of the benefits of a strong exposure to music, 

and indeed to all of the arts. 

Musical organizations, large and small, as well as individual artists, are increasingly providing both the artistic and political resources to begin to turn this bleak 

situation around, and the funding categories of the Music Program have assisted 

their efforts. In addition to support of 

performance and recording, funding has 

been provided to the music schools that 

train America’s future musicians and 

music teachers. 

Orchestras, the core institutions in their 

resident communities, lead the way. Most 

communities throughout the United States 

support an orchestra or some form of orchestral activity, and they provide 

infrastructure for the other performing arts. Orchestras provide opportunities 

for composers to hear their works played and for solo artists to perform, and all 

orchestras provide some form of arts education for all age groups in communities. 

In 1995, 195 grants were invested in this great cultural resource. The St. Louis 

Symphony has taken the visionary step to merge with a community music school, 

and as if to make the act organic, has moved its administrative offices into the 

school building. The St. Louis Symphony is involved in what it calls its Community Imperative: as an example, a massive partnership with 22 African American 

congregations which is soon to be expanded to non-African American and nonreligious organizations. 

The Detroit Symphony, in the realization that its great performing facility, Detroit 

Symphony Orchestra Hall, in one of Detroit’s most blighted areas, has joined with 

the Detroit Public Schools and the Detroit Medical Center in a consortium that 

will invest $80 million in an entertainment, commercial and education complex 

designed to revitalize a major section of Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit. 

The "Orchestra Place" project includes a high school for the fine and performing 

arts, a six story office tower, a retail and restaurant center and an expansion of 

Orchestra Hall. "Orchestra Place" would be the nation’s first performing arts 

center with a public high school on its grounds.

From another angle, the Chamber Music Rural Residencies program is bringing 

young chamber music ensembles of high promise to live, teach, and perform in 

ten isolated rural communities for a full school year. In residence in California’s 

Salinas Valley, the Rackham String Quartet from Ohio are teaching 300 children 

of Hispanic agricultural workers to play string instruments. Encouraged by community response to this residency, the superintendent of schools is taking steps to 

reintroduce a formal music program in area schools. Here, as elsewhere, these 

dedicated young musicians are perceived as role models throughout the community and act as catalysts to promote change and growth. 

The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, together with the Arts Endowment and 

the Los Angeles Lakers, has begun a school-based jazz education outreach project 

in Los Angeles linking two American classics,jazz and basketball. Some 25 aspiring musicians at two Los Angeles high schools receive after-school and Saturday 

morning instrumental training classes, as well as opportunities to perform, together with renowned jazz artists, at several Lakers’ games. 

The Glen Ellyn Children’s Chorus, one of 36 choral organizations receiving grants, 

for the fifth year ran its Outreach!Inreach program, which in 1995 offered choral 

training to economically disadvantaged youth in DuPage Count); Illinois, stressing 

total integration of the children in all GECC activities, including Parent Orientation and Awards Night.

These are but a handful of the projects supported through the Music Program 

which demonstrate commitment to artistic excellence, community involvement, 

and education in the arts.

ust as the aria is the heart of an opera, support for performance has been the core 

of the Opera-Musical Theater Program. On American stages from Philadelphia 

to Santa Fe, opera and musical theater combine the spectacle of drama, the 

grandeur of costuming and sets, and the power of the human voice to engage 

audiences of all ages. The mission of the Endowment’s Opera-Musical Theater 

Program has been to support that artistic excellence and provide opportunities 

for more people to learn and enjoy these artforms. Grants were made through 

four major categories: Professional Opera-Musical Theater Companies, New 

American Works, Professional Artist Development, and Services to the Field. 

The largest of these categories, Professional Companies, went to help underwrite 

the tremendous costs in mounting seasons of opera and musical theater. The 

Pittsburgh Opera, for example, received funding for a season which included 

Aida, Cosifan tutte, and Pagliacci, as well as its professional training program, the 

Pittsburgh Opera Center at Duquesne University. Across the country, the Western 

Opera Theater received support to tour Rigoletto in 45 venues in a six-state tour, 

and the New York City Opera went to 27 states with La Traviata through Endowment support. The American Music Theater Festival in Philadelphia received 

funds for world premieres ofLulu Noire by Jon Faddis and Lee Breuer, and Black 

Water by John Duffy and Joyce Carol Oates, and in rural Virgina, Lime Kiln Arts 

produced four original musicals based on the folktales of the region. 

The New American Works category functioned as a research and development 

fund for opera and musical theaters written by American composers and librettists 

and performed by American companies. In the past, works such as The 

Voyage by Philip Glass and David 

Henry Hwang and John Corgliano’s 

The Ghosts of Versailles first received 

Endowment support and went on to 

acclaim. The roster of 1995 grants 

includes works in development such 

Amistad by composer Anthony Davis 

and librettist Thulani Davis at the 

Lyric Opera of Chicago. At the 

Minnesota Opera Company, composer Evan Chen’s Bok Choy Variations is in development, and The 

Wonderful O, a musical based on 

Don Chastain, 

Cass Morgan~ 

Rudy Roberson and 

Theresa McCarthy 

in Playwrights 

Horizons’ premiere 

of the musical 

"Floyd Collins." 
OPERA-MUSICAL THEATER PROGRAM
 

a James Thurber novel, 

written by Will Osborne 

with music and lyrics by 

Randy Courts is in the 

final stages at the American Music Theater Festival. 

Training for the next 

generation of musical 

theater and opera theaters 

came through grants to 

12 companies from the 

Glimmerglass Opera in 

Cooperstown, New York 

to the New Music-Theater 

Ensemble in Minneapolis, 

Minnesota. A grant went to 

the San Francisco Opera 

Center’s Adler Fellowship 

Program which provides 

intensive training to nine 

singers, including supporting roles in the Company’s 

International Season. 

Past participants in the 

program have included 

singers Craig Estep, Maria Fortuna, and Susan Patterson. 

The Services to the Field Category supports a wide range of activity not covered 

under the basic program guidelines. Grants were awarded in 1995 for projects 

such as the 1995 Festival of New Musicals, the fellowship program run by OPERA 

America, and the video taping of live musical theater performances for the Theater on Film and Tape Library housed at the New York Public Library, a collection 

of over 2,800 American musical theater productions available to theater professionals, researchers, and the public.

resenting is a diverse field, encompassing art centers, colleges and universities, 

festivals, and presenters without facilities. In every venue, presenters represent an 

essential bridge between artists and audiences. In rural states, presenters are often 

the community’s only link to professional performing arts activity. 

The last two decades, presenters 

have developed artistic vision 

which guide their operations; 

not only do they select the art 

for their communities, they assist in shaping and interpreting 

that art. For instance, when the 

University of Iowa’s Hancher 

Auditorium commissions the 

Joffrey Ballet or has the Roadside Theatre or Bill T. Jones 

in residence, it is contributing 

significantly to the artists’ ability 

to create new work and provide 

community access to that work. Would there be a Joffrey Ballet Billboards without 

the Hancher? Would Bill T. Jones have completed and toured The Last Supper 

at Uncle Tom’s Cabin - The Promised Land without the commitment of two dozen 

presenters? In fiscal terms, presenters have an enormous effect on the various 

arts disciplines, and they provide access to new art for audiences of all kinds. 

The farmers in rural Iowa have often expressed that although they may not come 

often to the Hancher, they are glad their children do. 

The best presenters establish themselves as trusted curators of cultural taste 

in their communities. Once this "house trust" is in place, the presenter moves 

beyond being simply a delivery system and becomes a creative resource. The 

successful presenter effectively blends the need to help a community explore 

artistically while giving appropriate attention to the financial bottom line. 

Many presenters work with artists to find ways to do new things in a variety of 

disciplines. Presenters foster orchestra touring to get ensembles out into the community through master classes and developing relationships with public schools. 

Children are often first exposed to live opera through touring arrangements by 

presenters. The University Musical Society in Ann Arbor, Michigan worked with 

the Martha Graham Dance Company by asking how to incorporate other artforms into or through dance. They commissioned a three-week residency with the 

Company and local dancers. 

Cover of Puppets: 

the Power of Wonder, 

a publication of the 

Center for Puppetry 

Arts in Atlanta. 
P R E S E N T I N G
 

The Axis Dance 

Troupe in Oakland, 

California received 

a commission 

to develop and 

present a new 

collaborative 

work with the 

Dance Umbrella. 

The Program estimates there are 2000 professional presenters nationwide, 

and the applicant pool of some 200 presenters alone contributes in excess of 

$100 million to the arts economy. While our grants have made up only a tiny 

percentage of that amount, the audience-building and development projects 

we have supported help increase levels of ticket sales and contributed income. 

Another area of presenting activity which warrants special mention is an increased 

focus on arts education. With the establishment of presenting programs in communities throughout America, local arts centers have come to be seen as learning 

centers in the arts. Beyond the pre- and post-performance discussions, "meet 

the artist" sessions, and school-time performances, many arts presenters have 

approached arts education as a way to deepen community involvement and effect 

the virtual transformation of traditional community relations. For instance, the 

Music Center of Los Angeles County’s Education Division annually sponsors 

performances by hundreds of artists in thousands of schools in Southern California. Elaborate study guides and workshops with teachers insure continued work 

with the arts long after the residency has concluded.

cross the country, the theater serves as the village green in communities large 

and small where people come together to share ideas and stories. The Theater 

Program aided activities that provide access to professional theater and worked 

to advance the art of drama. The Program assisted in the creation of work by 

professional artists working with theater companies, encouraged the development 

of gifted individual artists, and supported activities that improve the environment 

in which artistic excellence may occur. 

The last three decades, theater in America has evolved into a vibrant art form and 

industry reaching every corner of the country. The creativity and excellence of the 

work on its stages are recognized around the world. Yet the artists and institutions 

responsible for that achievement continue to labor under precarious and difficult 

circumstances within a system that offers little artistic continuity or opportunity 

for a living wage. Over the course of 1995, the economy and downturns in private 

and public giving have forced reductions in the number of productions and in the 

development of new 

work. More than half 

the nation’s theaters 

ended the year with an 

operating deficit and 

the rate of leadership 

turnover escalated 

dramatically. 

Theaters are responding to these challenges 

with a renewed commitment to reaching 

new audiences, and, 

through education and 

outreach programs, to 

building strong bonds 

with their communities. More companies 

are collaborating with 

each other, and more 

are using their spaces 

as centers for community artistic activity. By Thornton Wilder

courtship is

In Fiscal Year 1995, the Theater Program 

support reached 276 companies in every 

region of the country. These grants provided 

assistance for a variety of activities including 

the creation and production of new work, 

educational projects, touring and home-based 

seasons. The companies supported included 

Roadside Theatre (Appalshop, Inc.) in 

Whitesburg, Kentucky to tour a repertory of 

original plays about and for the people of the 

central Appalachian coalfields, the Goodman 

Theatre (Chicago Theatre Group, Inc.) for 

its 1995-96 season, education programs and _~ ­

research and development of new work, and 

the Spanish Theater Repertory Company to 

support classic and contemporary Spanish, Latin American and Hispanic American plays in rotating repertory, touring and performances for school audiences. 

Grants were also awarded to In the Heart of the Beast in Minneapolis for original 

work created especially for young audiences in rural school districts and lowincome communities and to Cornerstone Theater Company in Santa Monica, 

California, an artist-run ensemble that works in collaboration with diverse communities nationwide, including its current program, the Watts Community Residency 

Project. 

The Theater Program continued to invest in the development of individual artists 

through Fellowships for Playwrights. The 18 fellowships represent a high level of 

national excellence in a variety of styles and genres. Among the artists supported 

this year were Mary Gallagher of Kerhonkson, New York to collaborate with composer Peter Gordon on two new music theater pieces, and Octavio Solis from San 

Francisco to write and develop several projects including the dramatization of an 

American Aeneid recounting the various epic journeys that Americans have made 

in order to make a new home. 

In the Services to the Field category, grants helped address artistic and organizational needs including technical assistance, professional development, field newsletters and publications, preservation, the implementation of culturally-diverse 

hiring practices, services for artists and audiences with disabilities, and improved 

communications. Among the 14 awards in this category were grants to the New 

York Public Library Theatre on Film and Tape Collection and to ASSITEJ-USA 

for services to theaters producing work for young people.

nni 

ederal support for the arts is not limited to the grants from the Arts Endowment. 

Throughout this annual report is a record of the Endowment’s new focus on integrating the arts into appropriate programs of other Federal agencies. In 1995, the 

Arts Endowment participated in 30 formal partnerships, joining forces and resources with the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Housing and 

Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Justice, State, Transportation, 

the General Services Administration, and the U.S. Information Agency. Descriptions of these individual partnerships are included in the listings of grants. 

Among these partnerships are those which involve the historical, long-term assistance with the Arts Endowment has provided to Federal agencies in the integration of quality design and visual arts elements into Federally-supported projects. 

For example, the Endowment’s Visual Arts Program and the General Services 

Administration (GSA) share a Memorandum of Understanding which promotes 

the installation of art in Federal buildings. Through other agreements with GSA 

and specific Federal agencies, the Arts Endowment provides leadership and expertise in developing guidelines for design projects. 

In some cases, Federal interagency collaboration supported joint-funding ventures. A partnership with the U.S. Information Agency supports the Fund for 

U.S. Artists at International Festivals & Exhibitions. The Goals 2000 Arts Education Partnership is a collaboration with the Department of Education and over 

100 national arts and education organizations to assist in the implementation 

of voluntary curriculum standards. An artists-in-residence program in Federal 

correctional facilities is made possible through an agreement with the Bureau 

of Prisons of the Department of Justice. 

A priority in 1995 was interagency partnerships to "open up" Federal programs 

which have not traditionally involved the arts and arts organizations in strategies 

to allow communities to address critical social problems. Of particular note are 

those programs designed to serve young people who are increasingly at risk of 

violence, substance abuse, and alienation. 

The Writers Corps, for instance, is a collaboration with the Corporation for 

National Service and the Associated Writing Programs to support residencies 

for 60 writers to work with inner-city communities in the Bronx, San Francisco, 

and Washington, DC. A partnership with the Department of Justice’s office of 

Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Program resulted in a after-school and weekend programs in the arts, recreation, job skills and entrepreneurial projects called 

Pathways to Success. 
FEDERAL INTERAG ENCY PARTNERSHIPS
 

Public service

produced in

between the 

Endowment and 

the Department 

of Health and 

Human Services. 

In many interagency partnerships, the role of the Endowment is to provide 

a leadership perspective on the importance of the arts to the missions and 

programs of other Federal agencies and to facilitate the involvement of artists 

and arts organizations. For example, the Arts and Prevention collaboration with 

the Department of Health and Human Services resulted in the inclusion of arts 

organizations under the funding guidelines of the Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration for community coalition grants. This initiative 

fights substance abuse and provides mental health serves, and through the Center 

for Substance Abuse Prevention and the Clearinghouse for Drug and Alcohol 

Information disseminates publications which encourage the involvement of the 

arts in the prevention programs for young people. The Endowment and the 

Department of Transportation cooperate through the Design for Transportation 

National Awards Program which honors projects that exemplify the highest standards of design and have made outstanding contributions to the nation’s transportation systems and the people they serve. 

In the aftermath of the bombing destruction of the Federal building in Oklahoma 

City, the Arts Endowment, the General Services Administration, the Department 130 

of Transportation, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development 

joined together to support a process of community involvement in the plans for 131 

rebuilding downtown Oklahoma City. The results of that project were featured in 

the exhibition "We Will Be Back: Oklahoma City Rebuilds," co-sponsored by the 

National Building Museum.

rants in support of arts for youth can be found throughout this report, but in 

1995, Congress earmarked $400,000 for Arts for Youth projects. (This allocation 

was reduced to $345,000 subsequent to the FY 1995 rescission legislation.) The 

Arts for Youth funds supported projects which involve the arts in addressing the 

needs of at-risk youth and to promote leadership initiatives to integrate the arts 

into efforts to strengthen and build communities. Typically, these projects either 

have a national impact or serve as models to encourage the expansion of support 

for programs to benefit youth. The Endowment has promoted Arts for Youth 

programming through expanded partnership collaborations with other Federal 

agencies, public agencies, and private groups. 

In FY 1995, Arts for Youth funds, allocated through the Local Arts Agencies, 

Literature, Folk & Traditional Arts, International, and Visual Arts Programs, 

supported the following projects.

n Fiscal Year 1995, the Arts in Education Program, in partnership with agencies 

and organizations at the national, regional, state and local levels, pursued its 

core mission: to ensure that children and young adults understand the arts and 

the roles and values the arts play in their lives and society through educational 

opportunities and experiences. A 1994 Endowment-sponsored suwey found that 

a majority of American elementary schools, in urban, suburban, and rural settings, offer some instruction in music and the visual arts. The survey also showed 

that where the arts are taught, they are often integrated with other subjects. 

In the past five years, the number of students taking arts courses has increased. 

The survey also revealed important counterparts to these findings, indicating 

that our future work is still substantial and dependent on our continued leadership and partnerships. Areas for improvement are varied. The arts in elementary 

schools are often taught by general classroom teachers, not arts specialists, and 

the resources necessary to support the increased study have not kept pace with 

enrollments. Furthermore, there are considerable differences among schools’ 

offerings depending upon region, metropolitan status, and school size. 

In response, the Arts in 

Education Program had 

three goals: 1) to make the 

arts basic to the education 

of children and young 

adults in grades pre-K 

through 12; 2) to increase 

public awareness of the 

value of arts education; 

and 3) to enable individuals 

and organizations, especially artists and arts organizations, to increase arts 

education opportunities 

and/or improve the quality 

of arts education programs. 

People - whether they are 

artists, educators, administrators, parents, or CEOs ­

are at the heart of the 

partnerships that characterize the three categories 

of AIE Program support. 

Shakespeare 

& Company’s 

education programs 

were broadened to 

include a new project: 

Shakespeare in the 

Hand of Adolescents. 
A R T S I N E D U C A T I 0 N
 

Arts Education Partnership Grants enable state arts agencies to achieve these goals. 

The states maintain the flexibility to develop programs geared toward their individual needs. The states’ comprehensive approach to arts education emphasizes: 

| artist professional development to help artists make productive connections 

with teachers and students. 

I professional development opportunities for teachers, school administrators, 

and others, to help them acquire knowledge and skills in the arts. 

| arts curriculum development to help children’s arts experiences build sequentially and relate to the larger curriculum. 

| incorporation of all artistic disciplines to ensure the broadest possible understanding of artforms and the many cultures that communicate through them. 

| state-level partnerships to help state departments of education, arts education 

alliances, and other agencies set and evaluate arts education policy. 

| local partnerships that forge ongoing relationships among arts organizations, 

individual artists, and local school sites. 

| awareness campaigns to keep the public informed of the positive effects of arts 

education. 

| strategic planning to articulate goals and evaluation criteria and to support 

state education reform efforts. 

Arts Plus Grants supported partnerships between arts organizations and schools to 

make constructive educational change so that the arts are central to the education 

of students, and to support artistic exploration and growth by arts professionals. 

The seven projects supported more than 50 artists and arts organizations working 

with thousands of students in more than two dozen schools over three years. 

Special Project Initiatives undertaken by the Endowment, often in partnership 

with the Department of Education or other national, regional or statewide organizations help fill gaps in research. For instance, an initiative led to publication of 

Schools, Communities, and the Arts: A Research Compendium, which summarizes more 

than 50 studies that support the importance of the arts in the curriculum and as 

contributors to the overall cognitive and emotional well-being of children. Other 

initiatives develop innovative solutions to meet pressing needs of the field and to 

convene people to facilitate coalition-building and collaboration.

he Challenge Program granted funds to strengthen the financial and programmatic infrastructures which underpin the activities of arts organizations. Since its 

creation in 1978, the Program has awarded 1,131 grants totaling $332 million 

which, in turn, leveraged more than $2.6 billion from private sources. These 

funds have been invested to benefit the long-term financial health and artistic 

viability of arts organizations. 

In 1995, the Challenge Program awarded 44 multi-year grants totaling $12.3 

million. Individual grants ranged from $75,000 to $800,000, and they must be 

matched by at least three dollars in nonfederal funds for every dollar of Endowment support. Two categories of grants were offered. Twenty-eight organizations 

received Challenge Grants for Institutional Stabilization: targeted efforts to eliminate debt or deficits, increase endowment or cash reserve assets, or secure or 

improve the physical structures vital to an organization’s operations. Sixteen arts 

groups received funding for Project Implementation: artistic or educational efforts that represent new directions or significant programmatic advances for the 

institution. All successful applicants were recommended by a panel with expertise 

in a specific artistic discipline 

and then judged by a special 

combined arts panel which 

assessed the long-term impact 

that achieving the grant’s goals 

would have on the organization, 

the arts field, and/or national 

awareness of the arts. 

The 1995 Challenge Grants 

supported organizations that 

represent every aspect of the 

national arts community. The 

National Guild of Community 

Schools for the Arts received 

$150,000 to provide financial 

assistance and expertise to help 

specialized educational and arts 

organizations throughout the 

country transform themselves 

into multi-disciplinary community schools of the arts which 

will serve a broader range of DANCE COMPANY

Company will bring

and Doris Humphrey.

their constituency needs. 

Regional organizations, 

such as the Delaware 

Division of the Arts 

and the Arts & Science 

Council of Charlotte 

Mecklenburg, North 

Carolina, received funds 

to create multimillion 

dollar endowment pools, 

the income from which will stabilize operations of numerous area arts groups. 

Two $250,000 grants went to the Eugene, Oregon and Nashville, Tennessee 

symphony associations to augment endowment funds; both conduct a variety 

of activities including free concerts in the parks, concerts and instruction in the 

public schools, performing for local ballet companies, and tours to surrounding 

communities. 

This year’s Challenge Grants will encourage participation from an audience 

culturally and geographically diverse. Certain grants focus specifically on expanding the appreciation of the diversity of America’s artistic traditions. A $600,000 

Challenge Grant to D.C. Wheel Productions funded a consortium of presenters in 

seven cities to create DanceAfrica festivals, showcases for local performing, craft, 

and visual arts in conjunction with events featuring nationally-known African 

American artists. A $300,000 Challenge Grant to the Metropolitan Dade County 

(Florida) Cultural Affairs Council supports a "New Works/New Audiences" initiative intended to commission new work, create collaborations among culturally 

diverse organizations, and stimulate and attract underserved audiences in the 

Greater Miami area. 

Many of the 1995 Challenge Grants assisted projects related to arts education. 

A $225,000 grant to the Tucson/Pima (Arizona) Arts Council funded the expansion of a job-training program for youth, linking students with artist/teachers 

who provide training iu video production and animation, literary and design 

skills pertinent to desktop publishing, and the design and execution of public art. 

A $700,000 grant to Urban Gateways in Chicago will help implement a sequential 

arts curriculum at public schools in economically-disadvantaged areas. A grant 

of $100,000 will augment a cash reserve fund for the Committee for Young Audiences in New York City, permitting them top respond to the cyclical dmnands on 

cash created by their program of artist resideucies, performances, and workshops 

for students pre-K through 12, which has served as a model for similar programs 

throughout the country.

rganizational support is provided in two phases through the Advancement Program. 

In Phase I, a year of technical assistance and long-range planning, management 

consultants retained by the Endowment provide on-site consultancies to help 

grantees. As a result, each grantee crafts a multi-year strategic plan. Phase II grants 

help participants implement their plans. These grants must be matched three 

dollars in nonfederal support for every federal dollar awarded. 

The 30 organizations participating in the 1995 Phase I are from the following 

disciplines: arts in education, museums, music, presenting and theater. Historically, arts organizations that have participated in Advancement have been remarkably individual; nonetheless, certain shared characteristics are apparent. Growing 

needs for audience development, marketing, comprehensive fundraising, effective 

budgeting, and accounting are high priorities. As developing organizations frequently undergoing change, they view the opportunity to analyze what is happening to them and to visualize their future as crucial to their sustainability. 

Advancement consultants provided sensitive, flexible guidance, giving participants the chance to emerge strengthened, with renewed commitment, and better 

able to follow their chosen path. 

From its beginnings in 1983, Advancement served over 450 organizations defying 

simple categorization. For example, one of the 1995 Phase I participants, the 

Montana Repertory Theatre (MRT) is in residence at the University of Montana. 

Established as a professional Equity touring company in 1977, MRT is a professional, community-oriented theater that brings live, artistically excellent performances and educational outreach to rural and urban areas. Over the last three 

years, the touring roster of MRT has grown dramatically. Productions have increased 

from one show per season to four, and the region has expanded from seven to 

twelve states. Part of the touring expansion was due to the addition of small, onevan-tour shows to accommodate presenters who could not afford the fee for a Rep 

performance. One of their priorities during Phase I is evaluation and strengthening of this program as well as developing systems for tour sponsor support. 

Another 1995 Advancement participant bringing art to rural areas is the Fort 

Smith Symphony in Arkansas. Founded in 1923, the Fort Smith Symphony is committed to providing professional symphonic music that reflects the diversity of the 

Arkansas River Valley region. The symphony draws audiences from four counties 

in Arkansas and three counties in Oklahoma to its five-concert subscription series, 

and it also performs a free outdoor concert and pops concert. While the programming has contributed to a stable audience, the orchestra would like to attract an 

even larger, more diverse audience. During Phase I, they will do extensive marketing research in hopes of attracting this audience. 
A D V A N C E M E N T
 

Colorado Music Festival in Boulder received a grant this year to implement elements of the multi-year plan developed during Phase I. Since its inauguration 

in 1977, the Festival has promoted an appreciation for musical art through its 

operation of an international professional orchestra. With the completion of the 

planning process, the Festival has positioned itself to move forward. It formed a 

new Programming Committee to reinstate a roster of nationally recognized interdisciplinary projects as well as continuing education outreach concerts. Marketing 

and development were focus areas during Phase I, ensuring that the metropolitan 

Denver area and the Rocky Mountain region will be aware of their access to high 

quality performances at the Festival. 

Another Phase II grantee is the Woolly Mammoth Theatre in Washington, D.C. 

Woolly Mammoth is a small, professional theatre committed to producing innovative new plays, developing 

a company of outstanding ,,,; ~ Washington actors and 

initiating additional art 

projects in the broader 

community. The company 

has received 28 Helen 

Hayes nominations and 

eight awards and is widely 

acclaimed for its boldness 

and professionalism. One 

of their first outreach 

projects called OUTSIDE 

WOOLLY incorporates 

three major components: 

a mural trail leading to the 

theatre; a series of performance, poetry, movement, 

and visual arts workshops 

with professional artists 

and community-based 

organizations; and a major

directed arts organizations that represent ethnic, inner-city, and rural communities 

recieve support through the Expansion Arts Program. The term ethnic is used in the most inclusive 

way representing African American, Asian American, Latin American, Native American and the 

diverse populations within European American 

cultures. The Program focussed on those inner-city 

cultural organizations which provide access for lowincome communities and those rural organizations 

which support indigenous artists. Projects for older 

Americans and persons with physical and mental 

disabilities also come under the Expansion Arts 

umbrella, for the Program has long been one of the 

agency’s most active providers of support to 

underserved constituencies. 

Under the Program’s primary category, Expansion ~ 

Arts Organizations, support was provided in all 

disciplines for producing, presenting and careerpath training activities. In 1995, a grant to the Southern Alleghenies Museum of 

Art in Loretto, Pennsylvania provided for a series of exhibition programs within 

the main facility - a renovated gymnasium - as well as for programming at two 

satellite galleries. Located in an isolated, mountainous area, the Southern 

Alleghenies Museum of Art has established itself as a significant repository of 

works by 19th and 20th century regional artists. 

The Community Arts Project, known as the King Performing and Cultural Arts 

Complex, in Columbus, Ohio, received a grant to help meet artistic and administrative expenses for programnfing reflective of African American culture. Located 

in two adjoining historic landmarks, the Complex is 

a central gathering place in its neighborhood of low-income housing developments, senior citizen apartments, and middle class residences. One of their most 

popular projects, conducted in partnership with Ohio State University, exposes 

young people to state-of-the-art electronic equipment used in comprehensive 

music education classes. 

Another grantee under this category, Turtle Quarterly is a journal published by the 

Native American Center for the Living Arts in Niagara Falls, New York. Expansion 

Arts funds help underwrite fees for editors and photographers, and over the years, 

this nationally distributed publication has served as a training ground for Native 

American professionals in the fields of graphics, photography and creative writing.

generations through 

story and song is

Services to Expansion Arts organizations and artists such as conferences, newsletter publications, ongoing job referral services, research, artist registries, and 

direct programming were underwritten through the Services to the Field category. 

In 1995, for example, a grant to the Chinese American Cultural Center in Ann 

Arbor financed a technical assistance program and related services for Chinese 

ethnic artists and organizations located throughout Michigan. 

The Rural Arts Initiative helped stabilize small arts organizations through a 

regranting partnership with state arts agencies. Since 1991, this Initiative has 

helped sustain 80 rural cultural organizations in 20 states. Kansas, Maryland, 

Mississippi, and Texas were the four states included as grantees in 1995. 

Fiscal year 1995 also marked the fourth year of the Arts Education Initiative for 

students from kindergarten through high school. A two-year grant to the Mexican 

Museum provided funds for year-round visual arts classes for low-income children 

from San Francisco’s Mission District. Designed to complement school curriculum, 

classes in contemporary and traditional arts are a component of the Home Link 

Mentor Program, an after-school project administered by the local housing devel148 opment corporation and other resources.

ocal arts agencies advance the arts and cultural development through services and 

programs that reflect the diversity of towns and cities and their residents all across 

America. Local arts agencies use the arts to impact upon economic development, 

initiate community revitalization, address social issues, enhance children’s education, and showcase the cultural diversity of community residents. Through arts 

programs in partnership with human and social service groups, they address many 

of today’s most challenging issues such as crime, racism, homelessness, and 

at-risk youth. Local arts agencies also support the arts in education through artist 

residency programs and curriculum design emphasizing the arts. In communities across the country, local arts agencies award grants to arts organizations and 

artists, and further support their 

work through an array of programs 

and services, such as workshops on 

administrative topics, fundraising, 

and management assistance. They 

also operate facilities, such as performance spaces, museums and 

galleries, or arts incubators, which 

provide emerging arts organizations 

with office space, equipment, and 

technical assistance. In many parts 

of America, local arts agencies serve 

as the sole providers of the arts for 

their communities, touching the lives of the youngest to the oldest citizens. 

The Local Incentive Category awarded funds to local arts agencies for implementing the recommendations that emerged during a co~nmunity cultural planning 

process, involving representatives from business, education, government, and the 

community, as well as artists and arts organization members. Through this process, 

awareness of the value of the arts to the community is cultivated and strengthened. 

Grants in this category support arts projects in communities large and small across 

the country. 

The City of Oakland, California’s Cultural Arts Division received $150,000 to 

activate a comprehensive artist residency and special projects program that will 

stimulate the arts at the neighborhood level. Through this project, over 200 

artists will offer 2,000 hours of cultural services in branch libraries, community 

centers, senior centers, parks, and public spaces. In this way, the City of Oakland 

will engage artists who reflect and represent the diverse cultural and artistic 

expressions of the community.

The Local Arts Agency Development Category awarded funds to encourage 

broad-based community-wide involvement in the arts through planning to 

strengthen funding, programs, and services for arts organizations and artists, and 

to improve the quality and calibre of local arts agency management through leadership and training programs. Funding was available through Planning grants, 

Stabilization grants, and Leadership Training and Services to the Field grants. 

The Rockford Area Arts Council in Illinois received a Stabilization grant for 

$20,980 to support its youth arts apprenticeship program. Through this project, 

six professional local artists will teach and mentor 48 youngsters from low-income 

families in an eight-week summer program at Arts Place, a building located in a 

severely depressed area of downtown Rockford. The Arts Council will use the 

program to help address the city’s crime, violence and self-image problems by 

matching children with artists who work sensitively and successfully with at-risk 

youth. 

The Arts Foundation of Michigan received a grant of $13,000 to support a statewide arts network on ArtsWire, an on-line arts conference. This network will 

link Michigan’s local arts agencies to statewide arts service groups and culturally 

diverse arts organizations. Funding will provide the tools to strengthen local arts 

agencies’ ability to plan strategically, to develop increased financial support, and 

to enhance arts visibility and community involvement.

ost of the 56 state and jurisdictional arts agencies were created in response to 

the national example and financial incentive provided by the Arts Endowment. 

Over three decades the Endowment has invested in the development of arts programs at the state level through the Basic State Grants administered by the State 

& Regional Program. 

The Endowment’s investment in state arts agencies plays a key part in the overall 

ecology of support for the nonprofit arts in America. In Fiscal Year 1995, funding 

from the State & Regional Program and other agency programs helped to leverage a total of $259.5 million in state appropriated funds which, in turn, supported projects generating total revenues estimated at more than $4 billion. 

This extensive activity is widely distributed. Last year, state arts agencies were 

able to award an estimated 26,000 grants to over 18,700 grantees in more than 

5,600 communities. 

Approximately 30 

percent of the awards 

and 14 percent of 

the funds went to 

grantees in nonmetropolitan areas. 

State arts agencies 

reported over 800 

million instances of 

public participation 

(about three for each 

American) resulting 

from these projects, 

including attendance 

of exhibitions and
 

performances, participation in activities
 

at schools and community centers, and
 

benefit through radio
 

and television broadcast and distribution
 

of printed material.

The Wyoming Arts 

Council’s Gallery

western artists, such 

as this photography 

exhibition in 1996. 

State arts agencies 

support artists and arts 

organizations in all 

disciplines: last year 

awarding $30 million 

for projects in music, 

$20.4 million in theater, $20.3 million in 

the visual arts, and 

$11.4 million in dance. 

A total of $83 million, 

or 46 percent of all 

state arts agency grant 

funds, was used to provide general operating support to arts institutions. Funds 

also went to performances, exhibitions, artist residencies, touring, fellowships, 

and other assistance to artists. Another major focus for state arts agencies was arts 

education, with $27 million supporting 7,000 projects in 2,800 communities. 

Crucial to state arts agencies working together are the seven multi-state regional 

organizations which receive Regional Arts Programming Grants and project support from other Endowment programs. They combine their federal funding with 

state and privately-raised funds to carry out programs that can the most costefficiently managed on a regional basis. One of their primary purposes is the 

administration of fee support for performing arts touring, especially in underserved areas. They also provide fellowships and other assistance to visual artists 

and undertake projects that address the unique needs of their regions. 

The State & Regional Program also administers a portion of the Endowment’s 

funds designated for projects in artistically underserved areas. Over the past five 

years, this category has helped stimulate and support arts projects that are making 

a positive difference in the lives of people in rural and inner city areas. Many of 

the grants support programs for underserved youth, including California’s residency programs providing after school artist-run projects for thousands of children 

in South Central Los Angeles, a project in Arizona which uses interactive television 

to bring the arts to primary schools, and the YouthReach program in Massachusetts, which assists community organizations to involve youth in the arts.

nown formerly as the Office of Policy, Planning, and Research (OPPR), this 

division was reorganized and renamed as the Office of Policy, Research, and 

Technology (OPRT). As OPPR, the office worked with the Endowment’s programs, offices, and management in developing long-range policy and planning 

options for the agency. Its reorganization as OPRT reflected the Chairman’s desire to emphasize issues of information technology as they affect the Endowment 

and the arts community with regard to policy and planning as the agency moves 

to address information and communications needs of the 21 st century. As part 

of this change, the Information Management Division, which runs the agency’s 

internal computer and information systems, became part of OPRT. 

One of the office’s first new initiatives was to develop a World Wide Web site 

(http://arts.endow.gov), a project shared with the Office of Communications. The 

goals of the Web site are to significantly increase the accessibility of accurate and 

up-to-date information from and about the Endowment and the nonprofit arts in 

America, to create a presence for the agency in the digital core of the new communications environment, and to increase the agency’s internal communications 

capability. 

Another change in the office structure was the addition of the Civil Rights Office, 

which reflected the Chairman’s commitment to elevating and emphasizing the 

importance of equity and diversity in the arts and within the Endowment. The 

move gives the Civil Rights Office a vantage point from which it can effect policy 

and practices agency-wide, and furthers OPRT’s work with the Office for AccessAbility to ensure more arts opportunities for people with disabilities. 

An additional task is analysis of internal grant-award patterns and statistics, 

and OPRT monitors trends and special areas of interest to the agency, such as 

the application success rates of minority organizations. Recommendations for 

changes in policies and practices may result from these analyses. 

OPRT also supported the professional development of arts managers through the 

Arts Administration Fellows Program, which offered eleven-week residencies to 

promising early- and mid-year arts managers. These residencies provided Fellows 

with the opportunity to gain a national overview of arts activities and to become 

familiar with Endowment policies and practices.

Congress, the Executive Branch, and private cultural interests depend on reliable 

data to formulate and assess cultural policies. The Research Division helps develop 

the necessary information by examining the cultural needs of the public, identifying ways to enhance access to cultural opportunities, studying the effects of the 

economy on cultural activities, and documenting the value of arts education to 

the Nation’s school system. 

Four research reports were released by the Division in Fiscal Year 1995. The first, 

A Practical Guide to Arts Participation Research, provided an historical perspective 

on the topic and a detailed explanation of what to consider in undertaking an 

arts participation survey. The next three reports,Jazz in America: Who’s Listening?, 

American Participation in Opera and Musical Theater, 1992, and Turning On and 

Tuning In, Media Participation in the Arts, were all based on analyses of the results 

of three national surveys of arts participation sponsored by the Division and conducted by the Census Bureau in 1982, 1985, and 1992. 

In 1995, the Division initiated two research projects concerning arts organization 174 

statistics. The first involves the compilation of statistics on arts organizations from 

the 1992 Census of Service Industries. The second study examines the current 175 

data systems that describe the economic condition of arts organizations and 

compares them to the needs of arts policy makers, practitioners, and researchers. 

This study will also make recommendations on how to improve the efficiency 

and utility of future data collection, either through enhancing current systems 

or developing new systems. 

Two other projects sponsored by the Division include a project to create the 

1996 Sourcebook of Arts Statistics and an in-depth study of first-time attenders at 

opera. The latter study involves conducting focus groups at ten opera companies 

across the country to learn more about those attending opera for the first time, 

such as which aspects encouraged their further attendance and which did not. 

Also sponsored in 1995 was an up-to-date and improved version of the Sourcebook 

of Arts Statistics. The 1996 Sourcebook, like the 1987, 1989, and 1992 versions, will 

be a compendium of available arts statistics, but it will be printed in two volumes, 

including a summary and overview. 
uring 1995, the Special Constituencies Office changed its name to the Office for 

AccessAbility to focus on not what it does as "special," but rather its mission of 

encouraging inclusive programming. The new name emphasizes access to the 

arts for everyone and the abilities of the people the office serves: older adults, 

individuals with disabilities, and people who live in institutions. The AccessAbility 

Office provides advocacy and technical assistance to the Arts Endowment, its 

grantees, other cultural groups, and Federal agencies in making the arts fully 

accessible. 

Lifelong Learning was the major focus in 1995. The Office initiated an interagency partnership with the White House Conference on Aging, the Department 

of Health and Human Services’ Administration on Aging, and the National 

Endowment for the Humanities to make quality arts and humanities opportunities more widely available to older adults and to increase the sensitivity of professionals in the field of aging to the potential of arts and humanities programs for, 

by, and with older persons. The centerpiece of the agreement was a conference on 

"The Arts, the Humanities, and Older Americans," convened in Washington, D.C. 

on April 10-11 by the National Council on Aging. The conference focused on the 

need, demand and character of arts and humanities involving older and disabled 

adults. 

The series of deliberations that followed resulted in carefully formulated recommendations including: promotion and support for universal design; involvement 

of older artists and scholars in the planning and policy-making process; and support of increased arts and humanities programs in prevention and health care. 

This working conference assured that the arts and humanities were on the White 

House Conference on Aging agenda and resolutions in early May. 

Funding from the Coca-Cola Company, Metropolitan Life Foundation and the 

Arts Endowment made it possible for the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies to print and disseminate over 4,000 additional copies of Design for Accessibility: 

An Arts Administrator’s Guide to grantees through the 56 state arts agencies. The 

700-page guide is the most comprehensive publication to date to help arts groups 

become fully accessible to the country’s 49 million citizens with disabilities. 

The Universal Design Leadership Initiative to educate designers and the public 

on Universal Design continues to progress. In November, 1994, the Endowment 

received a Universal Design Award for "its significant contributions to Universal 

Design" from the Adaptive Environments Center in Boston. On February I0, 

1995, the Design Program and the AccessAbility Office convened a meeting of 
OFFICE FOR A C C E S SA B I LITY 

seven key federal agencies and a representative from the National Building 

Museum to discuss their work in universal design and how this information is 

being disseminated. A request for proposals was issued to produce slides documenting exemplars of Universal Design from the disciplines of architecture, 

interior design, landscape architecture, product design and graphic design. 

Universal Designers and Consultants, Inc. of Rockville, Maryland, was selected 

to administer the project. 

An interagency agreement with the Department of Education’s Rehabilitation 

Services Administration (RSA) was signed to better educate vocational rehabilitation professionals on the arts as full-time careers and to assist disabled artists with 

accommodations needed to do their work. Through RSA funding, the first effort 

took place when we arranged for Lisa Thorson, an accomplished jazz performance artist, to keynote an RSA conference on the needs of individuals with disabilities who pursue art careers. In addition, we worked with RSA to identify and 

disseminate to arts service groups information about 1996 RSA funding opportunities for training and hiring people with disabilities. 

176 Another interagency agreement with the Department of Justice resulted in three 

artists being selected, through local arts agencies, to be trained and placed in 177 

one-year residencies at federal correctional institutions. Musician David Cody was 

in residence at Sandstone, Minnesota; potter Rachel Norris at Bryan, Texas; and 

playwright!director Paul Johnson at Manchester, New Hampshire. The artists 

taught, created and presented art in these model programs. 

The Arts Endowment’s Working Group on Older and Disabled Americans planned 

seminars to update and better educate staff on access issues. Working in partnership with the Humanities Endowment, the Institute for Museums Services, and 

the Advisory Council for Historic Preservation, the Group held two seminars, 

Making Accessibility a Reality, in October 1995.

anels are composed of artists, arts administrators, patrons and at least one 

layperson who does not work for an arts organization. Panels are also composed 

to reflect the aesthetic, geographic and ethnic diversity of America. They meet at 

the Endowment’s headquarters throughout the year to consider all applications 

and make recommendations to the National Council on the Arts. Panel meetings 

usually last several days so that a thorough review of all applications may take 

place. 

Conflict of Interest 

In order to avoid even the appearance of any conflict of interest, no individual 

may serve on a panel that would consider his or her organization’s application. 

The Endowment employs split panels in some cases, so that individuals affiliated 

with organizations may serve on panels which do not consider their organization’s 

application. Where split panels are used, each of the separate panels is listed 

individually as Panel A, Panel B, etc. 

After each panel meets, its recommendations are forwarded to the National 

Councilon the Arts for their consideration at one of their quarterly meetings. 

The Council may approve or reject those recommended applications. All of the 

approved applications are then forwarded to the Chairman who makes the final 

decision on which grants are awarded.
