The Arts Endowment in Brief
 

E

stablished by Congress in 1965, the National 

Endowment for the Arts is the federal agency 

that supports the visual, literary and performing arts to benefit all Americans. Its mission is 

to serve the American people--by fostering 

artistic excellence and helping to develop the nation’s 

finest creative talent; by preserving and transmitting our 

diverse cultural heritage; by making the arts more accessible to all Americans, young, old, or disabled, living in 

rural towns or major cities; by promoting the vitality of 

arts institutions; and by helping to make the arts intrinsic 

to education. 

The Arts Endowment serves as a catalyst to increase 

opportunities for artists and resources for arts organizations. It also spurs involvement in the arts by citizens, 

public and private organizations, and the states and local 

communities. The agency does not direct the activities 

of individual artists or arts organizations. Rather, it is a 

partner with the entire arts community, using federal 

resources to develop and promote a broadly conceived 

national policy of support for the arts. 

The agency awards grants to nonprofit arts organizations to help support outstanding performances, exhibitions, projects and programs. It provides fellowships to 

American artists of exceptional talent in order to stimulate creation of new works of art, expand the nation’s 

artistic resources and promote preservation of the country’s cultural heritage. It funds projects whose goal is to 

educate, formally or informally, both children and adults 

in the arts. It disburses program funds to state arts agencies and regional organizations in order to promote broad 

dissemination of the arts across America. 

National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities 

The National Endowment for the Arts is one component 

of the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities. 

The Foundation is an umbrella organization, created by 

Congress, that also contains the National Endowment for 

the Humanities, the Federal Council on the Arts and the 

Humanities, and the Institute of Museum Services. It has 

no administrative or programming identity separate from 

its component organizations. 

How the Agency Functions 

The Endowment pursues its service to the American public by providing financial assistance to artists and nonprofit arts organizations. The agency also awards grants to 

other public arts agencies at the state, local and regional 

levels. Since the Endowment receives applications for 

more than four times as many grants as it can support, 

the application process, culminating in the award of 

grants or contracts by the Chairman, resembles a national 

competition. 

First, the Endowment staff reviews applications from 

individual artists and nonprofit arts organizations for eligibility and conformance with published program guidelines. Second, application~ are evaluated for artistic excellence and merit by panels of experts and knowledgeable 

laypersons from relevant arts fields. Third, the agency’s 

advisory body, the National Council on the Arts, reviews 

the recommendations of the panels and makes its own 

recommendations on applications meriting funding to 

the Chairman. Upon consideration of those recommendations, the Chairman decides whether to award a grant 

or reject an application. 

The Chairman 

Appointed by the President of the United States with the 

advice and consent of the Senate, the Chairman of the 

7
 
Endowment is chief executive officer of the agency and 

Chairman of the National Council on the Arts. Authorized by law to establish and carry out policy, the Chairman provides overall direction to the Endowment and its 

operations. The Chairman establishes agency procedures, 

directs the programs, and awards grants and contracts. 

National Council on the Arts 

Twenty-six distinguished citizens, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, plus the Chairman of 

the Endowment, constitute the National Council on the 

Arts. These distinguished citizens have broad experience 

in the various arts disciplines and with the major aspects 

of artistic enterprise such as creation, performance, presentation, administration and patronage. Representing 

the variety of artistic disciplines and genres in America, 

collectively the Council transcends single artistic interests 

as well as narrow geographic, ethnic and philosophic 

bounds. 

The Council advises the Chairman on policies, 

programs and procedures. It also reviews and makes 

recommendations on grant applications. Council 

members serve six-year terms, staggered so that roughly 

one-third of the Council membership rotates every 

two years. 

The Advisory Panels 

Panels of private citizens advise the Endowment’s individual programs and thus the agency as a whole. These panels review applications, identify issues of artistic concern 

to the field and the American public, and inform the 

policies and programs through which the Endowment 

pursues its mission. 

Arts and community leaders from around the nation 

serve on the grant advisory panels. The panelists represent 

many aesthetic and cultural viewpoints, providing a crosssection of American experience and artistic opinion. 

Panels typically include artists, arts administrators, board 

members, critics, arts educators and knowledgeable 

laymen. 

Nominations for panelists come from the public 

at large; from artists, organizations, and leaders in the 

arts field; from members of Congress; and from Endowment staff and Council members. Membership on 

the panels rotates regularly, as no member may serve 

more than three years consecutively. 

Methods of Funding 

Grant money authorized by Congress comes to the Endowment as program funds, Treasury funds and Challenge Grant funds. Most direct grants to organizations 

and individuals come from program funds. Program 

grants to arts institutions must be matched at least 

dollar-for-dollar. 

The Treasury Fund arrangement allows private 

donors to pledge gifts to specific Endowment grantees. 

Each pledge frees an equal amount for the grantee from 

the Treasury Fund, which is maintained at the Treasury 

Department. Grantees must then match the combined 

total of the donor’s pledge plus the Treasury Fund 

disbursement. 

Challenge Grants, which must be matched on at least 

a three-to-one basis in new or increased funds, stimulate 

support for significant projects with long-term impact. 

Ranging from $75,000 to $1 million, Challenge Grants 

fund projects promoting expanded artistry, enhanced 

access and art appreciation, and strengthened arts support 

systems. 

Impact of Endowment Grants 

Every grant directly benefits the grantee and thus the 

grantee’s home community and state. Beyond that, in 

1991 about 8 percent of the Endowment’s grant dollars 

supported projects whose impact extended to benefit 

arts disciplines or audiences within the region. 

With even broader effect, this year more than 20 

percent of Endowment grant funds supported projects 

of national impact. Many of these attracted audiences 

nationwide through radio or TV broadcasting, publications or recordings. Others reached wide audiences 

through touring of, for example, a dance company or a 

sculpture exhibition. Still others exerted a national impact 

on their arts field by providing management or technical 

assistance, professional training, career development, 

research or information.

The Endowment’s Reauthorization 

Like other independent federal agencies, the Arts Endowment is granted legal authority to operate for finite periods and consequently must be reauthorized periodically. 

On October 27, 1990 both houses of Congress approved 

a bill reauthorizing the Endowment. Signed by President 

Humanities and Museums Amendments of 1990, authorized the Endowment for three additional years--Fiscal 

Year 1991 through Fiscal Year 1993.

The Year in Review
 

T 

he National Endowment for the Arts inaugurated a period of significant change in 

Fiscal Year 1991. Changes were made in 

both programs and procedures. Some of 

these changes were initiated by the agency 

itself. Others were recommended by a special Independent Commission, appointed by Congress, which in 

September of 1990 issued its unanimous report on grantmaking procedures and issues concerning publicly funded 

art. Still other changes and refinements resulted from the 

reauthorization of the agency by the Congress in 1990. 

Programmatic changes included a new formula, mandated by Congress, increasing by 50 percent the amount 

of funds allocated by the Endowment to state and regional arts agencies. Thus in FY 1991, 25 percent of program 

funds was reserved by law for state and regional arts agencies and another 5 percent was set aside for programs 

administered by state and regional arts agencies that 

specifically addressed developing arts organizations and 

artistically under-served communities particularly in rural 

and inner-city areas. New grant categories also extended 

support to under-served rural and inner-city areas. Special 

emphasis was placed on expanding arts education 

activities. Plans to revise the Challenge Program got 

underway. Support for international activities by 

American artists and arts organizations was enhanced. 

A consolidated program, Presenting & Commissioning, 

was conceived to support additional arts opportunities 

for more Americans. 

Among the significant procedural changes, the rules 

governing potential conflicts of interest of panelists were 

tightened. Review panels were enlarged to promote their 

diversity. Panel membership turned over more frequently. 

Taken as a whole, the procedural reforms made the 

agency more accountable, responsive and inclusive. 

Reinvigorated by these changes, the Endowment renewed 

its efforts to expand arts opportunities for all Americans 

and to foster support for artistic excellence. 

Panel Reforms 

A crucial objective was to eliminate even the appearance 

of direct conflicts of interest of those serving on the 

Endowment’s advisory panels. Now, no one with a 

pending application for financial assistance, and no one 

who is an employee of an organization with a pending 

application, may serve on a panel that will review the 

application. Modified panel structures, implementing 

the new policies, effected this objective. 

For example, in grant categories where nearly all U.S. 

arts organizations apply to the agency--Dance, OperaMusical Theater, Inter-Arts, Museum and Theater--split 

panels are now used. That is, two slightly smaller panels 

are constituted, and each reviews a balanced half of the 

application pool. Alternatively, in other programs such as 

Music and Visual Arts, multi-year applications prevent 

direct conflicts because organizations submit an application for the same amount of funding for more than one 

year, usually for two years. Thus in the year an organization’s application is being considered, no one associated 

with that organization serves on the review panel. 

To open advisory panels to more diverse points of 

view, a lay person knowledgeable about the relevant arts 

field sits on every panel. A three-year limit on continuous 

service was imposed, thereby increasing the turnover of 

panelists and bringing new people onto the panels. 

Advisory panels now include individuals from more 

diverse geographic and cultural backgrounds and representing different aesthetic viewpoints of the pertinent discipline. Thus, the number of panelists from California 

and New York declined while the proportion of panelists 

from the Midwest, South and Southwest increased.* 

As a consequence of these many reforms, the number 

of panelists grew from 792 in 1990 to 947 in 1991, an 

increase of 20 percent. In 1991, 77 percent of the panelists were new. Minority composition of the panels rose 

to more than 20 percent. 

Changed Responsibilities for Chairman, Council 

In 1991, several changes were made in the roles and 

responsibilities of both the Chairman and the National 

Council on the Arts. Probably most important was the 

clarification of the authority of the Chairman. 

The Chairman is authorized to establish and carry out 

the grants, contracts and loans to support agency projects. 

* Some grants listed in this report were reviewed by panels that met before 

the reforms were in place and thus operated under old rules. 

1991 Annual Report 11 
In late 1990, Congress added clauses to the Endowment’s 

enabling statute requiring that the Chairman establish 

regulations and procedures to ensure that artistic excellence and artistic merit are the criteria by which applications are judged and vesting the Chairman with final 

authority to approve all applications except those on 

which the Council makes a negative recommendation. 

Charged by the reauthorization statute with making 

recommendations to the Chairman both on whether to 

approve assistance for each application recommended by 

advisory panels and on the amount of the award for such 

applications, members of the National Council needed 

more detailed information about the grant applications 

they consider and about Endowment programs. Accordingly, since May 1991, Council members assemble in 

small groups on the day prior to the opening of the regular quarterly business meeting to exchange information 

with staffon the Endowment’s programs and pending 

grant applications. In addition, since August 1990 all 

policy meetings of the Council are open to the public. 

Other Procedural Reforms 

The grantmaking process has also been revised. In some 

programs, maximum grant award levels were lowered to 

increase the potential number of grants and thus the 

breadth of Endowment support. Some minimum grant 

levels were raised so that they constitute a more meaningful investment of dollars. Also, to broaden the distribution of Endowment support, in some categories or pro-  ̄ 

grams limits were placed on the number of applications 

that could be accepted from a single applicant, and on 

the number of awards that could be made to one grantee. 

Also, effective in FY 1991, all applicants were 

required to submit project descriptions. In addition, all 

grantees receiving seasonal support were required to submit interim reports, which must be approved by the 

Endowment before the final third of the grant award is 

released. If an interim report varies significantly from the 

original application, the agency can reconsider the grant. 

Program Highlights 

In its commitment to arts education, the Endowment is 

carrying out a mandate from the American people as 

National Endowment for the Arts 

expressed by the President, the Congress and the 

National Governors Association. The Endowment’s latest 

reauthorization encouraged the agency to expand its arts 

education activities. Particular goals are to help make the 

arts basic to education, to foster new generations of artists 

as well as citizens who practice and enjoy the arts, and to 

reinforce the excellence and diversity of American arts. In 

response, in 1991 the agency launched the Arts Education Collaboration Initiative, now called "Arts Plus." It 

supports partnerships between schools and their community’s arts organizations, especially in the realms of dance, 

theater, opera and musical theater, which have been typically under-represented in schools. 

By its long-standing commitment to arts institutions, 

the Endowment has always recognized the importance of 

supporting these repositories of American culture and 

creativity. Particularly in more difficult economic times, 

the Endowment has a major role to play in assisting these 

organizations, for they are the infrastructure that keeps 

the arts before the public. Large and small, old and new, 

they maintain, augment and transmit America’s artistic 

tradition. Many are the source of special community 

pride and identity. Recognizing that to assume these 

institutions can exist without continued federal support 

would mortgage their future and jeopardize our national 

cultural legacies, in 1991 the Endowment’s assistance and 

support helped safeguard these cultural resources. 

Also remaining central to the mission of the 

Endowment is its support of the source of creativity, the 

artist--the individual painter, performer and writer. In 

several forms, grants to assist artists continued in all the 

disciplinary programs: Dance, Design Arts, Folk Arts, 

Literature, Media Arts, Museum, Music, Opera-Musical 

Theater, Theater and Visual Arts. 

This year also saw the Endowment make particular 

efforts to reach out to communities and audiences that " 

have been chronically under-served, particularly those of 

innercities and rural areas. During 1991, through a variety of means and with many different collaborators, the 

agency increased its support for arts programs and cultural development projects in a broad spectrum of communities. Support for local, state and regional arts agencies 

was also augmented. 

Grants of special interest are outlined in the introductions to the chapters in this report.

Program Funds $3,715,500
 

The Design Arts program supports excellence in the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, urban and 

regional planning, historic preservation, interior design, and 

graphic industrial and product design. Working through a 

combination of grants and leadership activities, it strives to 

make Americans more aware of the benefits of good design 

by promoting informed design discussion and criticism. The 

program also links the public with valuable design resources 

and encourages design approaches that stimulate creativity 

while celebrating design heritage. 

T o help the public become more aware of 

the importance of the design process, in FY 

1991 the program took a lead role in focusing on design in the public realm. The 

occur at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (for 

the Northeast), Tulane University (South), University of 

Minnesota (Midwest) and University of California at 

Berkeley (West). 

The Design for Housing Forum continued to broaden exposure to the benefits of quality design for the 

developers, builders and users of low-income housing. 

Workshops around the country brought together nonprofit developers and designers to discuss the role of 

design in the creation of long-term solutions for lowcost housing. 

Design Arts grants promoted much-needed discussions about design and about several specific projects 

during the year. The Adaptive Environments Center of 

Boston, in collaboration with the Center for Accessible 

Mayors’ Institute on City Design, a short Housing, is sponsoring a conference for design school 

course on urban design principles for elected officials, teachers to consult with "universal design" experts on 

continues to be held yearly. Two national institutes occur methods of incorporating universal design principles in 

at the University of Virginia, while regional institutes design curricula. Another grant supported the publica31
 
tion of a manual on converting abandoned railway lines 

into parks and walking trails. Each year rail companies 

abandon thousands of miles of railroad tracks; their 

rights-of-way remain for local organizations to adapt to 

new uses. This manual now serves as a practical guide for 

city recreation departments, regional open space councils 

and local governments. 

Another priority during the year was the support of 

grants serving Americans in rural environments. These 

projects included a master plan study for the preservation and conversion of a building in Bennettsville, South 

Carolina for use as a cultural center; a feasibility study 

for a new theater in West Liberty, Ohio as home for a 

regional touring theater company; a master plan study 

for the reuse of a historic depot building in Bismarck, 

North Dakota, as an exhibition center for Native American art; and a collaborative project between high school 

students and landscape architects in Genesee, Idaho, 

Design 

Advancement 

Project Grants for Individuals and Project Grants for 

Organizations support projects that advance the state of 

the art through design practice, theory, research, communication, and education 

about design in all the disciplines, including architecture, 

landscape architecture, urban 

design and planning, historic 

preservation, interior design, 

graphic design, and industrial 

and product design. Project 

Grants for Rural and Small 

Communities support local 

efforts to solve urban design 

and planning issues, particularly those surrounding 

growth management, by providing funds to organizations 

for design assistance and
 

demonstration projects.
 

Artist/Designer Collaboration Grants are offered
 

through a joint initiative with 

the Visual Arts Program to 

support collaborations 

between design professionals 

and visual artists in the creation of public art. Individual Grants for Design Innovation support projects that 

identify, resolve, or define 

current design problems by 

exploring alternative solutions and challenging the 

status quo.

to assess the importance of local landscape vis-a-vis 

sustainable agriculture, wildlife habitats and protected

Urgent design education needs were also met 

through Design Arts Program grants. Project support 

was provided for conferences, workshops, videos and 

publications that address the need for greater interest in 

including the design process in school curricula, not only 

for kindergarten through 12th grade but at all levels of 

education. 

The program offered leadership in providing design 

information and expertise to the public free of charge 

through ongoing services, including a computerized 

library of information on thousands of design projects 

conducted in communities throughout the nation. This 

resource offers a national perspective on individual 

design problems, supporting better understanding of 

how to achieve design excellence.

Dimensions Dance Theater, founded in Oakland 20 years ago to promote Africa-derived dance, performs Isicathulo (The Boot 

Dance). The company received aid from the Expansion Arts Program which awarded grants in 41 states and major jurisdictions. 
Expansion Arts
 

366 Grants
 

Program Funds $5,918,600
 

The Expansion Arts Program supports arts of a high standard for and among the ethnic groups that make up the 

mosaic of American culture. The program does this primarily 

by aiding community-based organizations that encourage the 

professional artists in those communities to make, present 

and teach art. These artists, as varied as America itself, represent an array of traditionalists and modernists who display 

the expressions of their people j~om the ancient past to the 

future. This not only enhances the quality of life in communities that are often depressed, it also presents the work to 

growing mainstream audiences. 

he program’s Organizations category proT vides grants to eligible organizations to 

produce or present art of a high professional standard and to present that art to underserved communities. Grants also aid instructional programs for gifted individuals who aspire 

to careers in the arts. These often are the only opportunities for intensive training in the arts that are available 

to people, particularly the young, who live in these 

communities. 

An exemplary grantee is Philadelphia’s Freedom 

Theatre which teaches theater to inner city youth. Since 

1972, Freedom Theatre has offered rigorous instruction 

and highly disciplined performance experiences to more 

than 10,000 primarily black but ethnically mixed students. Many Freedom Theatre graduates have gone on to 

successful careers in acting and directing. One measure of 

the program’s success is that 98 percent of the students 

have gone on to college--an astounding achievement in a 

citywith an alarming high school drop-out rate. 

A noteworthy multidisciplinary organization, the 

Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center, is located in San 

Antonio’s largest and poorest barrio. Guadalupe, a full 

service community arts center, offers formal training in 

literature, visual art and the performing arts. The Center 

presents a national Latino film festival, an annual festival 

of conjunto bands, a season of nine professionally organized exhibitions, a poetry and fiction reading series, as 

well as a season of theater by the resident company. It also 

hosts touring companies. Guadalupe is one of its community’s most stabilizing influences. 

The Services to the Field category funds organizations 

whose mission is to offer technical assistance to artists 

and arts organizations. One such organization is the 

Montana Institute of the Arts which offers a variety of 

services to organizations in extremely remote areas of that 

vast state. In addition to providing management, clerical 

and technical assistance, the Montana Institute also obtained dance scholarship funds for a client organization 

that in turn made awards to gifted students in small towns 

and villages. Other activities included helping Native 

American groups with professional development, organizing a market and festival, and forming a computer network for rural arts groups and individual artists. The value 

of such services cannot be overstated, for the institute’s 

clients are small and isolated and need to share resources 

and management efforts in order to move forward. 

The Special Projects category maintains three initiatives: The Rural Arts Initiative is a matching regrant program with eleven state arts agencies. (This year, for the

Handcrafted saddles draw attention at Nevada’s Cowboy Poetry Gathering, an annual event supported by a Folk Arts Program grantee.

Program Funds $2,955,200 

The Folk Arts Program supports the traditional arts practiced by groups of people who share an ethnic heritage, occupation, language, religion or geographic area. Its special 

responsibility is to encourage arts that have endured through 

several generations, that carry a sense of community esthetic, 

and that demonstrate artistic excellence. The program assists 

and honors men and women who demonstrate the highest 

traditional artistic knowledge and skills. It supports the cultural activities of traditional communities. It helps to make 

the sophistication, vivacity and significance of our multicultural artistic heritage available to a wider public. 

n 1991 the folk arts field continued its lively, 

booming course of recent years. There was heightened activity on several fronts: greater public interest in the folk arts; ever-growing numbers of folk 

Multicultural events such as the Lowell Folk Festival 

in Massachusetts and National Folk Festival in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, featured a multiplicity of traditional 

artists from many cultural groups and attracted audiences 

of well over 100,000. The Cowboy Poetry Gathering in 

Hko, Nevada, entered its eighth year and continued to 

attract national attention. The diverse "Folk Masters" 

series at Carnegie Hall was packaged for radio and broadcast on nearly 200 stations. Organized by the Museum 

of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, the exhibition of 

works by recipients of the Endowments National 

Heritage Fellowships toured nationally. 

Many individual cultural groups worked to maintain 

their time-honored art forms and to offer traditional 

artistic expression for public appreciation. An informal 

count showed that more than 175 distinct ethnic comartists wanting to perform or exhibit for wider munities have approached the Folk Arts Program for supaudiences; and more performance and exhibition venues port in recent years. The 1991 grantees used music, craft, 

offering more diverse fare. the spoken word, and other creative genres to project a

rainbow of cultural backgrounds from African-American 

blues to Hawaiian slack key steel string guitar, from rural 

New York stonework to Native California wicker. 

American Indians and Alaskan Natives, among whom 

more than 200 languages are still spoken, were particularly active as they planned traditional arts activities for the 

1992 quincentenary of the arrival of Columbus in the 

New World. That milestone offers a special opportunity 

to recognize the strength of the many indigenous cultures 

that remained vital during the past 500 years. To aid
 

efforts supporting tribal traditions, the Interior Department initiated a new Tribal Preservation Program, and
 

the Folk Arts Program is cooperating in the venture.
 

More folk arts tours were available to arts presenters 

than before, partly the result of new efforts by regional 

arts organizations that received Endowment support. The 

Southern Arts Federation brought "Deep South Musical

Roots" to audiences in the region. The New England 

Foundation plans similar tours. The annual conference of 

the Association of Performing Arts Presenters saw the 

largest number of folk arts showcases in its history. 

The transmission of traditional skills, esthetic principles and repertoires in a close, person-to-person fashion 

has always been the cornerstone of folk art traditions. 

With Endowment encouragement, the number of statebased grants programs in support of folk arts apprenticeships in the states and Pacific territories grew from one in 

1984 to 35 this year. 

Finally, the program’s National Heritage Fellowships 

continued to command national attention. A major article in National Geographic profiled many of the fellows 

and stimulated new nominations. Speaking of these folk 

arts masters, the article observed, "Taken all together, they 

emphasize the astonishing diversity of American life."

and boosts local economies where presentations occur. 

The nation’s 20,000-plus presenters--the curators of performance facilities--bring live performing arts events to 

Americans in large and small communities everywhere. 

This year they gave new emphasis to artistry and curatorial approaches to programming. They also made 

stronger commitments to their communities despite 

growing financial concerns. The program’s applicants 

directly contributed over $150 million in economic 

activity to their communities, an impressive level of 

achievement. 

Dance on Tour, a model of partnership by the InterArts, Dance, and State and Regional programs, supports 

nationwide access to exceptional dance performances. 

This year a grant of $30,000 to the Wisconsin Arts Board 

supported performance and residency activities of the 

Feld Ballets/NY in eight Wisconsin locations during a 

four-week tour. Open rehearsals, master classes, lecturedemonstrations, performances, post-performance discussions and meet-the-artist receptions took place in such 

diverse communities as Milwaukee, Sheboygan, Kohler, 

Madison, Wausau, Green Bay, Eau Claire and Oshkosh. 

The tour also included the premier of Endsongby Eliot 

Feld, artistic director of the company; which was commissioned by the Wisconsin Presenters Network for the 

tour. More than 14,000 Wisconsin residents attended 

ten performances. 

The Partnerships in Commissioning category offers 

grants for the creation, production and presentation of 

interdisciplinary projects. Works may be the product of 

collaboration by several artists or the creation of a single 

interdisciplinary artist. Presenting organizations collaborate with artists, other presenters or other arts organizations to develop innovative work of national or regional 

significance. Thus, a $16,900 grant awarded to the 

Hancher Auditorium at the University of Iowa supported 

the creation of a new work, "Atlas," by interdisciplinary 

artist Meredith Monk. It was coocommissioned and presented by the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the 

Wexner Center in Columbus, Ohio, the American Music 

Theater Festival in Philadelphia, and the Houston 

Grand Opera. More than 6,000 people attended 13 

performances. 

Similarly, a grant to Dancing in the Streets, Inc., supported continuation of a national touring project of performances in public spaces. In Los Angeles, Dancing in 

the Streets joined UCLA and the Black Choreographers 

Festival to co-present new site-specific works by David 

Rousseve, Joanna Haigood and local artists. At Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station the group joined Movement 

Theater International in celebrating the station’s renovation. In Chicago, with the MoMing Arts Center, it cosponsored workshops on choreography for public spaces. 

These Marina Towers performances, presented with the 

Chicago Lights Festival, included choreographer Elizabeth Streb and the African dance ensemble Muntu. 

Dancing in the Streets has produced similar events in 

Columbus, Ohio, Washington, D.C., and Grand Central 

Station in New York City. 

New artistic directions often incorporate traditional 

forms and material with inventions that result in a unique 

esthetic. Experimentation within and between art forms 

is both a method of working and a genre of art; such 

experimentation is one important focus of the Artists’ 

Projects category, while another is greater access for 

emerging and multicultural artists. 

The Artists’ Projects Regional Initiative, a partnership 

with The Rockefeller Foundation and Andy Warhol 

Foundation for the Visual Arts, funds nonprofit organizations in diverse geographic areas to administer subgrant 

programs for artists who have had little contact with the 

Endowment. Particularly effective in reaching these creators, the partnership no~v serves artists in all 50 states,

Artists’ Communities grants represent an increasingly 

critical resource for artists developing new work. Individual artists in all disciplines need space, time and materials. The need for artists’ communities, which provide all 

three, was dramatically demonstrated by statistics from 

Inter-Arts’ applicant pool: last year 9,750 fellowship/residency requests were recorded by 17 artists’ community 

applicants which could accept only 1,533 artists as fellows. The field took a step toward consortium-building 

when 18 like-minded communities formed the National 

Consortium of Artists’ Communities. 

1991 Annual Report 75 
Presenting 

Organizations 

Includes four subcategories: 

Grants to Presenting 

Organizations are designed 

to improve the ability of professional presenting organizations to present diverse, highquality arts programming in 

their communities. Services 

to Presenting Organizations 

grants are awarded to state 

and regional arts agencies and 

service organizations to help 

presenters improve their professional skills. Partnerships 

in Commissioning and 

Touring grants support multidisciplinary presenting organizations in the commissioning and touring of new works, 

and in the central coordination of tours of existing and/ 

or new works. Dance on 

Tour assists presenters in 

booking nationally recognized dance companies and 

dance artists by supporting 

state arts agencies and regional organization projects. All 

funds were obligated during

Program Funds $4,576,577
 

The Literature Program assists individual creative writers 

and literary translators, encourages wider audiences for contemporary literature, and aids nonprofit literary organizations and smallpresses. 

L

iterature is an important contributor to our 

national treasury of style and language and 

gives voice to many of our best ideas about 

human life. The purposes of the Literature 

Program are to encourage the creation of a 

national body of literature of the highest quality through 

the support of exceptionally talented individual artists 

and to make the work of outstanding contemporary writers available to a broad public. 

Support to individual poets, prose writers and translators remains the cornerstone of the program. This year, 

90 writers in all regions of the country received Creative 

Writing Fellowships. Awarded through a judging of 2,279 

manuscripts, these fellowships afforded writers the opportunity to devote time to their craft. In addition, nine literary translators received support to translate works into 

English from other languages. Funded projects included 

translations of both contemporary and classical works in 

Arabic, Russian, Catalan, Spanish, French, New Norwegian and Chinese literature. 

In recognition of lifetime contributions to American 

letters, Margaret Walker and William Stafford were 

awarded Senior Fellowships in Literature. 

Literary Publishing grants awarded to literary magazines, small presses and distribution organizations make 

the best of contemporary writing available to all parts of 

the country. Magazines range from Black American 

Literature Forum, which publishes original works of fiction and poetry as well as scholarly work focusing on 

black literature, to Parnassus: Poetry in Review, the country’s only publication devoted to reviews of poetry books. 

Similarly, small presses feature a variety of formats: 

Bilingual Review Press works with a broad range of 

Hispanic writers, while White Pine Press emphasizes contemporary American writers and work by Scandinavian 

authors in translation. 

Audience Development grants put authors in touch 

with their readers, either in reading series and residency 

programs or through electronic media such as video and 

audio tapes. Community-based literary centers, such as 

Beyond Baroque of California, The Loft in Minneapolis, 

Hellgate Writers in Montana, and the North Carolina 

Writer’s Network, present the best of the nation’s writers 

to a broad audience. 

Three grants exemplify important aspects of the 

Endowment’s Literature Program: 

 ̄ For almost a quarter century, Teachers & Writers 

Collaborative has been dedicated to sending professional 

writers into classrooms to teach students both how to 

appreciate literature and how to write. T&W publishes 

books for teachers about how to teach creative writing. It 

also exemplifies the idea that "creative teaching and artistic development [are] at the heart of our lives." Endowment grant funds provide support for T&W’S writing 

workshops in schools; for the publishing and distribution 

to teachers of books, audio tapes, and other publications; 

and for general organizational support. 

 ̄ While much contemporary literature speaks to specialized audiences, the PEN Syndicated Fiction Project 

aims to make serious writing available to a wider range of 

Americans. It places contemporary fiction in newspapers 

and distributes the radio program "The Sound of 

Writing: America’s Short Story Magazine of the Air." The 

imaginative life and contemporary reality of the nation 

are reflected in these stories, which are suitable for and interesting to audiences across the country. The weekly 

radio series provides pleasures otherwise too often unavailable to its potential audience of 15 million. As a listener wrote from New Hampshire, "I can think of few

Fellowships 

Includes three subcategories: 

Fellowships for Creative 

Writers enable exceptionally 

talented published writers 

of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction to set aside 

time for writing, research, 

or travel in order to advance 

their careers. Senior Fellowships support and honor creative writers and other liter 

ary professionals who have 

received the highest critical 

acclaim but who are not necessarily widely known outside 

the literary field. Fellowships 

for Translators allow recipients to translate into English 

major literary works in other 

languages.

The Media Arts Program encourages the creativity of individual artists working in film, radio and television. It assists 

organizations that bring the work of these artists to the public through exhibition and broadcast. It also provides nationwide access to the best of all the arts through support of public radio and television programs. 

I

n partnership with generous private donors, the 

Media Arts Program has made the arts available 

through broadcast to every citizen irrespective of 

taste, gender, location or ethnicity. In the early days 

of independent media, the ideal was to have a camincludes, of course, repeating viewers who, as their thousands of letters confirm, form a regular attachment to the 

series of their choice. 

Media Arts review panels broadened the program’s 

horizons (while fulfilling their primary function: namely, 

to review grant requests). Several panel members have 

advised the Endowment that a great education opportunity presents itself as the century’s end approaches: a 

complex series examining the transformative course of 

each art form since 1900. Each art has been shaped by its 

rough passage through the sound and fury of this century; in turn each has shaped our private lives and public 

era in every hand and media literacy in every eye. "Access"consciousness of what has transpired. Series on dance and 

for the Media Arts Program now means affording the 

national audience a choice among many ongoing series. 

The diversity of the many series supported by the 

Media Arts Program ranges from the high art preserved 

by the vital museums of culture ("The Metropolitan 

Presents" and "Live from Lincoln Center") to equally

early stages of development. And a series on the arts educating our greatest resource for the future--our children-recently received its final impetus from a corporate 

sponsor, McDonald’s. "Behind the Scenes," which preaccomplished folk culture at the informal end of the spec-sents a major artist in each program, will be broadcast

("American Playhouse"). 

Each episode, watched by millions, increases total 

viewership as these series unroll. This year some 310 million people watched eight Endowment-supported series 

at a per-viewer cost of 1.5 cents in tax funds. The total 

A relatively young educational institution per se is the 

media arts center, some 70 of which are supported by the 

program each year. As three screens--~:omputer, T.V. and 

movie--loom larger in our lives each day, greater literacy 

in deciphering what they offer is imperative if our children are to become masters of this technology and not its 

pawns. This year, the literacy programs of these media 

centers were examined, and planning began for coordi103
 
nating these efforts into a national program in association 

with the Endowment’s Arts in Education Program. 

Planning also took place this year for another educational 

venture, the Arts Corps, through which graduate students 

in the arts will be placed in small towns and rural communities for six weeks in the summer to teach their art at 

libraries, homes, schools and community centers, while at 

the same time enriching themselves through an experience not usually available to urban Americans. 

While the Media Arts Program specializes of necessity 

in electronic vehicles, it also engages in an older public 

medium, that of paper publications. In a unique effort, it 

published a book nearly the size of this annual report, 

The Arts on Television 1976-1990. Subtitled "Fifteen 

Years of Cultural Programming Supported by the 

National Endowment for the Arts," this volume is a comprehensive encyclopedia of all the television series and 

programs aided by the agency during the period. Beyond 

that, it is virtually a chronicle of television’s recent development, because as in so many other arts fields, the notFilm/Video Linda Gibson

for-profit venues supported by the Endowment often 

serve as proving grounds for developing talent--the stars 

of commercial venues in later years. 

Another major publishing project is a continuing 

and cooperative one, the massive Catalogue of American 

Feature Films, which is being compiled by the Center for 

Film/Video Preservation at the American Film Institute. 

Decade by decade, the record of all American films is 

researched, reconstructed, codified, checked and published according to the highest standards of library science. In shaping this indispensable tool for film scholarship, the National Endowment for the Humanities is our 

collaborator. Decade by decade, the weighty crimson volumes check off the century: the ’20s appeared in 1971, 

the ’60s in 1976, the teens in 1988; the ’30s will appear 

in 1992, and research on the ’50s has begun. Nothing 

proves more clearly the merit of government support than 

such a long-term task to preserve a particularly American 

art form.

"Youth in Asia’’ series at the Southeastern Center for

Many of the exhibitions supported in 1991 went on view 

at several museums, thereby assuring broader exposure to 

diverse audiences across the country. 

One of the new initiatives undertaken by the 

Museum Program in 1991 was a low-cost touring program designed to bring quality programming to regional 

and rural institutions that reach out to otherwise underserved areas. Among the programs funded under this initiative was an exhibition of American Indian weaving 

organized by the Plains Art Museum in Fargo to tour to 

12 sites in North Dakota. Elsewhere, three contemporary

art exhibitions arranged by the Texas Fine Arts Association toured small colleges and community centers in 

Texas. Also funded by the program were several collection-sharing projects in which museums in Michigan, 

New Mexico, Georgia and Florida borrowed important 

works on long-term loan from major metropolitan 

institutions. 

The range and diversity of projects funded under the 

Education category attests to the central role of education 

in museums today and the desire to reach broader audiences. Among the activities funded in 1991 were an interactive video to provide greater access to the Baltimore 

Museum of Art’s African collection, an after-school program developed by the Institute of Contemporary Art 

for Boston’s under-served South End, and an in-museum 

program intended to reach 1,500 fifth graders at the 

Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Educational activities 

such as symposia, public lectures, guided tours, brochures 

and programming for school groups and adults were also 

included in Special Exhibition projects and presentations 

from permanent collections funded by the Museum 

Program. 

Conservation grants provided funds for student

Opera-Musical Theater 

199 Grants 

Program Funds $3,441,415 

Treasury Funds $2,650,000 

The Opera-Musical Theater Program is committed to 

supporting, strengthening and broadening throughout the 

nation opera-musical theater, which encompasses traditional 

opera and musical theater, operetta, Broadway musical comedy, nontraditional music theater, and still-evolving forms. 

It is further committed to making available and accessible, 

to diverse audiences across America, quality works in this 

most complex pe~Corming art genre. 

’ he program funded a remarkable body of 

T new American works in 1991, enlarging the 

nation’s opera-musical theater oeuvre in our 

own time and for posterity. These new 

works not only reflect the many cultures 

that make up American society, but demonstrate the 

growing trend among producing companies to go beyond 

the bounds of the standard repertoire of late 19th-century 

European operas and traditional Broadway book 

musicals. 

In 1991, the Metropolitan Opera presented its first 

new opera in a quarter century, The Ghosts of Versailles, by 

John Corigliano and William Hoffman, with support 

from a grant awarded under the New American 

Works/Organization category. Five months earlier, 

Samuel Barber’s Antony and Cleopatra, which had opened 

the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center in 

1965, got its second professional production in Chicago. 

That event was part of the Lyric Opera’s artistic initiative, 

184 
"Toward the 21 st Century." It bears mention that The 

Ghosts of Versailles was broadcast over the Met’s International Radio Network and has been scheduled for telecast over "Live from the Met." The Lyric’s Antony and 

Cleopatra was also telecast. 

Funded under the New American Works category, 

two productions by the composer/librettist team of 

Robert Moran and Michael John LaChiusa were premiered. In a period of two months, Desert of Roses opened 

at the Houston Grand Opera and From the Towers of the 

Moon was performed at the Minnesota Opera. That company plans to take From the Towers of the Moon on a 

national tour next year. 

Away from Broadway, sustained growth and development of new musicals has occurred in regional musical 

theater companies. Examples of these works were showcased at the Festival of First Stage Musicals in New York 

City, which received a Special Projects catego~ grant 

awarded to the National Alliance of Musical Theatre 

Producers. 

The program’s support of new music theater was evident in many works. Some examples: Winter Man, by a 

Cheyenne poet, deals with the 1864 massacre at Sand 

Creek, Colorado. Snow Leopard connects the Iran-Contra 

affair with the Tibetan Book of the Dead. The Canton ]azz 

Club is about the Los Angeles Chinatown night spot of 

the 1940s famous for its Chinese-American revues.

Hydrogen Jukebox combines Allen Ginsberg’s poems with 

the music of Philip Glass. Frida, based on the lives and 

works of Mexican painters Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, 

combines Mexican and European musical styles. The program also supported the development of other nontraditional work through such organizations as the MusicTheatre Group, INTAR and the American Music 

Theater Festival. 

Support of broadcast projects via the program’s 

Services to the Art category helped augment the national 

opera audience. The National Public Radio series "World 

of Opera" reached more than 600,000 listeners over 

NPR’s network of independent stations. This series 

included productions of new works such as Carlisle 

Floyd’s epic of the Reconstruction era, The Passion of 

Jonathan Wade, co-produced by an Endowment-aided 

consortium of opera companies in Miami, Houston, 

San Diego and Seattle. The NPR series also broadcast 

Mozart’s rarely performed work, I1 repastore, produced by 

Glimmerglass Opera of Cooperstown, New York. 

In the Professional Companies category, the OperaMusical Theater Program’s nationwide support of operamusical theater institutions, both large and small, continues to assist the field in maintaining artistic excellence; 

revitalizing the repertoire; educating future artists, administrators and audiences; and re-establishing these art 

forms’ vital connection with a changing global society.

Seasonal support, through the Professional Theater 

Companies category, is the Theater Program’s keystone. 

Assistance goes largely toward the collaborations, performances and productions of individual artists. Seasonal 

support also often helps outreach efforts such as newsletters, post-performance discussions to enhance audience 

appreciation, and other innovative programming 

activities. 

For example, a grant to Cornerstone Theater 

Company bore fruit this year. The touring company 

works mainly in rural areas such as Norcatur, Kansas; 

Port Gibson, Mississippi; Marmath, North Dakota; 

Marfa, Texas; Schurz, Nevada; Eastport, Maine; Long 

Creek, Oregon; and Montgomery, West Virginia. 

Cornerstone actors settle in for several months to create 

an entirely new piece and leave a new theater behind 

when they move on. Adapting classical plays to specific 

rural American contexts, they incorporate local community concerns into scripts, emphasize local style in design, 

cast local actors in many roles, and in so doing introduce 

new audiences to theatrical literature. In 1991, Cornerstone presented an entirely new version of Shakespeare’s 

The Ircqnter’s 7~lewith actors from 13 rural communities. 

The production, featuring an ethnically and geographically diverse company, combined rural imagery with 

American archetypes such as Superman, Uncle Sam and 

Elvis Presley. The play toured all 13 participating communities as well as to New York, Boston, Miami and 

Washington, D.C., as a part of"ATT Onstage." Some 50 

performances in 10 states culminated in a final performance on the Mall in front of the Capitol. 

The Support to Individuals category invests in the 

long-term cultivation of diverse theatrical talent. While 

emerging designers and directors are rarely supported by 

private grants, Endowment fellowships facilitate the entry 

of these young professionals into the field. Fellowships for 

playwrights and solo performers allow time for writing, 

rehearsal and investigation to produce work of increasing 

richness and quality. 

For example, this year the playwriting team of 

Conrad Bishop and Hizabeth Fuller completed a fulllength play, Tapdancer, which was produced by The 

Independent Eye in their home state, Pennsylvania. They 

also rewrote another play, Okiboji, which was produced 

by the Denver Center Theatre in Colorado and Boston 

Post Road Stage Company in Connecticut, and they 

worked on a new music drama and some shorter works, 

including Confession, which was scheduled for publication by Actors Theatre of Louisville. Through residency 

funds attached to the grant, Bishop and Fuller established 

a continuing collaboration with New City Theater in 

Washington State, working on improvisation, readings 

and staging experiments for another production of 

Tapdancer. In residence at the Mark Taper Forum in Los 

Angeles, they conducted workshops and completed yet 

another new play, Last Days of the Lost & Found. In all 

these ways, Bishop and Fuller used their joint fellowship 

to develop new works and take advantage of unique residency experiences. In turn, their work benefitted audiences in California, Colorado, Washington and Massachusetts, and enlarged the American repertory for future 

generations. 

The program’s National Resources category benefits 

audiences who see the work of more highly trained actors 

and productions informed by expert criticism. Grants to 

professional conservatories ensure the cultivation of 

emerging talent by the finest teachers. Professional journals, documentation and preservation efforts, and conferences all ameliorate the isolation that many artists experience outside of major cities. 

For example Alternate ROOTS of Atlanta, a coalition 

of 200 performing artists and ensembles in the southeast, 

presented the acclaimed Critics’ Component at the sixth 

Biennial Performance Festival, which offered 48 ensembles and solo performers through showcases in free community performances. The Critics’ Component illuminates the creative process for theater critics and establishes 

critical dialogue in evaluating original, community-based 

work. Critics from local, regional and national media met 

with each performer or ensemble to discuss work they 

had viewed. Artists gained benefitted from outside critical 

review, while the critics gained new appreciation of the 

artistic process. This appreciation will continue to influence critics and inform audiences throughout the nation. 

Artistic Advancement grants support organizations 

and individuals attempting projects outside of their normal scope. Typically, theaters apply for special commissions and translations; coproductions of significant scale 

are encouraged as are innovative activities that increase or 

enhance audience appreciation. Here too, companies seek 

196 National Endowment for the Arts 
support for special international activities or collaborations. In all cases, projects benefit the field as a whole and 

inspire growth of the art form. By encouraging expansive 

visions, this category represents an investment in the 

long-term development of the theatrical form. 

This year the Shakespeare Theatre at the Folger in 

Washington, D.C., received a grant to support a 

"Shakespeare Free For All" festival at the Carter Barron 

Amphitheater. The festival brought exceptional theater to 

new audiences, particularly people of color and those who 

traditionally had not attended classical theater or were 

under-served by live performing artists. More than 

30,000 people attended 12 free performances of The 

Merry Wives of Windsor and participated in education 

programs. 

In conjunction with the festival the Folger implemented an audience development plan that emphasized 

community participation. Education and cultural programs introduced young people to live performance. 

Backstage tours and workshops explained stage combat 

(fencing, jousting, hand-to-hand fighting, etc.), voice and

speech, "theater magic" and makeup. A production of The 

Taming of the Shrew, with postproduction discussions, was 

performed for more than 250 elementary, middle and 

high school students from the neighborhoods around the 

amphitheater. 

Additional programs explored the process that brings 

a classical play "from the page to the stage" and featured 

presentations by four Washington high schools of their 

own adaptations of scenes from The Merry Wives of 

Windsor. Musicians from culturally diverse neighborhoods joined the festivities, showcasing local performing 

arts groups and introducing them to new audiences. Latin 

American, Caribbean and African music groups performed, as did students from the Duke Ellington School 

for the Performing Arts and the Davis School for the Arts. 

These programs introduced the work of an outstanding 

classical theater to a wholly new and culturally diverse 

audience and reintroduced the historic Carter Barron 

Amphitheater as a site for performances by other 

Washington area arts groups.

grants of $20,000 each were awarded to artists in all 

regions. This two-percent funding ratio makes the category one of the most competitive at the Endowment. 

These grants, awarded to professional artists of exceptional talent and demonstrated ability, support the fellows’ 

creative development by providing financial means to sustain them while they pursue their work. This year, fellowships went to artists working in the media of painting, 

works on paper (which includes printmaking, drawing, 

and artists books), and new genres (which include video, 

conceptual and performance work based in the visual 

arts). 

Regional Fellowships complement the national program by extending the benefits to specified regions of the 

country. In FY 91 six regional organizations received 

grants of $125,000 each. They will provide up to 20 fellowships of $5,000 each to visual artists working in the 

areas of painting and works on paper. Application deadlines will alternate with those at the national level, 

enabling artists to apply for grants on an annual basis 

regardless of where they live and work. Endowment funds 

are matched one-to-one by each region, thereby multiplying the amount of federal dollars available for visual 

artists. This year, when Visual Arts funds for Regional 

Fellowships were reduced, monies were augmented by the 

State and Regional Program. 

Visual Artists Organizations (VAOs) exhibit new 

works by contemporary American artists, provide access 

to facilities, supply equipment for the creation of new 

work and offer a range of artists’ services. These alternatives to museums and commercial galleries exist in major 

cities and in mid-sized communities such as Austin, 

Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina; Portland, Oregon; 

Grand Rapids, Michigan; and Birmingham, Alabama. 

Characteristically, these groups were founded by artists 

and are run by artists with strong support from their 

Visual Artists artists working in photography, sculpture, and crafts. Fellowships Regional Fellowships are 

administered by regional arts 

Fellowships were awarded in organizations through coop1991 to artists working in erative agreements with the 

new genres, painting, and Endowment. Programs fundworks on paper. In 1992, fellowships will be offered to 

communities. In many cities, VAOs exist as the primary 

showcase for contemporary work. Besides exhibiting current work by artists living in an area, many arrange 

exchange shows with organizations from other regions, 

thereby exposing audiences to new work from outside 

their own communities. Particularly in crafts, photography and printmaking, some VAOs provide artists with 

access to equipment that is prohibitively expensive for 

individual owners. Many of the organizations also conduct extensive educational outreach programs with their 

local school systems. 

Visual Artists’ Forums promote discourse about the 

visual arts and are a crucial venue for outreach to the 

American public. Many lecture series at colleges and universities are supported as well as nonprofit publications 

that discuss issues in contemporary art. Particularly important to rural campuses and colleges away from major 

cities, visiting artist programs were supported in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. Publications that cover 

regional visual arts events received grants in the Midwest 

(Dialogue and Artpaper), the Northwest (Reflex), and the 

Southeast (Art Papers). An innovative residency program 

funded through the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation gave 

over 100 visual artists, critics and curators the opportunity to spend time at art centers throughout the nine-state 

region creating new work and discussing it with the 

public. 

Art in Public Places projects were supported in a wide 

range of communities and sites this year. Commissions 

went to artists for projects at a museum sculpture park in 

Massachusetts, an airport in Louisiana, a public pier in 

southern California, a transit station in St. Louis, a college building in Nebraska, and a neighborhood park for 

senior citizens in Philadelphia. Endowment funds generally account for only a fraction of a project’s total costs; 

most of the fundraising is done at the local level.

Arts Council of New 

Orleans 

New Orleans, LA $440,000 

To increase support for a 

broad spectrum of arts organizations in the metropolitan 

New Orleans area by matching funds raised through the 

newly created, corporately 

supported Metropolitan Arts 

Fund. The purpose of this 

project is to provide arts organizations with an expanded 

base of private contributions 

in the form of both operating 

and endowment support; to 

strengthen the management 

capacity and organizational 

effectiveness of arts organizations through technical assistance, consultation, and 

training; and to identify and 

meet special cultural needs of 

the community through specific initiatives. Challenge 

funds will be used to leverage 

this private sector support 

and to regrant to a variety of 

arts organizations, many of 

which have had little access 

to corporate and foundation 

funds. No funds were obligated during FY91. 

91-4622-0013 

Baltimore Museum of 

Art, Inc. 

Baltimore, MD $400,000 

To support the Close Encounters initiative in the Baltimore 

City Public Schools. This 

program, tied to the school 

curriculum, will expand the 

visual understanding of students through direct personal 

experience of the thousands 

of great works of art in the 

museum’s collection. It will 

give students and teachers the 

tools and practice to look 

analytically at their visual 

environment. This will be 

accomplished through: 1) an 

expanded sequential learning 

program for fourth grade 

classes focused on ways of 

looking, in and out of the 

museum, 2) a structured program providing opportunities 

for research and interdisciplinary curriculum development 

for city teachers, and 3) provision of essential visual materials for the classroom. By 

opening up the world of art 

to school children and teachers and by raising their awareness that the visual world 

around them can be interpreted and enjoyed, this program will help to educate a 

viewing public to be conversant in the language of visual 

images. 91-4622-0028 

Brooklyn Philharmonic 

Symphony Orchestra, Inc. 

Brooklyn, NY $500,000 

To revitalize the symphonic 

repertoire through the commissioning of new works and 

new realizations of works 

from earlier periods and to 

win new audiences for orchestral performances. The Brooklyn Philharmonic Symphony 

Orchestra has entered a new 

era in its history under the 

artistic leadership of Dennis 

Russell Davies and through a 

unique affiliation with the 

Brooklyn Academy of Music. 

The Challenge artistic initiatives will open new areas of 

musical exploration and expand the orchestra’s audience 

with alternative approaches 

to the commissioning and 

development of significant 

new work; innovative programming and the creative 

presentation of diverse works 

from all eras; the provision of 

new artistic opportunities for 

orchestral musicians; and the 

development of lively interactions among composers, 

musicians, and audiences. 

91-4622-0033 

California Institute of 

the Arts 

Valencia, CA $175,000 

To support collaborative 

activities with artists and art 

organizations serving multicultural populations. The 

project---codesigned with 

Plaza de la Raza, Watts 

Towers Center, Social and 

Public Resources Center 

(SPARC), and individual 

artists--will lead to longterm, mutually beneficial 

relationships, advancing the 

foremost priorities of the 

community-based arts organizations and providing their 

constituencies--primarily 

young people--with visual 

and performing arts training 

of the highest professional 

calibre. Concurrently, these 

activities will contribute to 

fundamental changes in the 

curriculum, goals, and purposes of CalArts. This project 

will forge a model and set 

new standards for arts training and community involvement. 91-4622-0005 

City of Charleston, South 

Carolina 

Charleston, SC $200,000 

To support a major site-specific exhibition featuring conceptual works and installations by 25 to 30 artists participating in the 1991 Spoleto Festival. This exhibition, 

organized by the city of 

Charleston, Spoleto Festival 

U.S.A., and the Gibbes 

Museum of Art is scheduled 

to open on May 23, 1991 in 

conjunction with the 15th 

annual Spoleto Festival 

U.S.A. The exhibition will 

feature the work of internationally recognized artists 

who will create "place specific" installations at historic 

1991 Annual Report 229 
venues throughout the city of 

Charleston, South Carolina. 

Charleston’s resources--historical and cultural subjects 

as well as extraordinary 18th-, 

19th-, and 20th-century 

buildings and outdoor sites-­

make it an exceptional environment in which to stage 

such an exhibition. Rather 

than designing works for a 

location from a primarily aesthetic point of view, as with 

much site-specific public art, 

these projects will draw their 

inspiration and conception 

from the unique qualities of 

their location. Curator Mary 

Jane Jacob has chosen artists 

who represent diverse cultural, ethnic, and national backgrounds and who share a 

concern for the use of conceptual reference in their 

work. A series of accompanying year-long educational 

programs is being organized 

by the Gibbes Museum, the 

College of Charleston, the 

Spoleto Festival, and the city 

of Charleston. 91-4622-0025 

~g Corporation of the Fine 

Arts Museums 

San Francisco, CA $850,000 

To support a comprehensive 

earthquake preparedness and 

renovation program at the 

California Palace of the Legion of Honor. The program, 

which includes an underground addition to the building, integrates seismic reinforcement, expansion, and 

renovation and disseminates 

information about this project to other museums and 

professionals. The project not 

only preserves the collections 

and ensures the safety of visitors to the Legion of Honor, 

it also gives the Fine Arts 

Museums of San Francisco 

an unusual opportunity to 

seek answers to problems 

faced by museums across the 

country, particularly those in 

active seismic zones. Such 

concerns include questions of 

earthquake preparedness for 

existing structures, program 

needs versus limited expansion possibilities, and architectural and environmental 

integrity. 91-4622-0009 

Cunningham Dance 

Foundation, Inc. 

NewYork, NY $1,000,000 

To support a four-year transition period during which 

time Merce Cunningham 

will explore a number of 

artistic initiatives that are of 

immediate interest: expanding the Repertory Understudy Group; hiring additional choreographer’s assistants to work with the understudies and facilitate more of 

his choreographic works 

being mounted on American 

dance companies; increasing 

the size of the company and 

the number of rehearsal 

weeks for creating new work; 

increasing the number of
 

weeks dedicated to his film/
 

video creations; and designing a plan of action for future
 

activities of the company, future distribution of his choreographic works and archives,
 

and the teaching of his technique. At a time when Mr.
 

Cunningham is at the height
 

of his creative output, this
 

project will enable him to
 

conserve his energy, to make
 

more work, and to continue
 

in new ways. $450,000 of
 

this grant was obligated during FY91.91-4622-0024 

Dance Bay Area 

San Francisco, CA $100,000 

To support the Bay Area 

Fund for Dance, a juried 

commissioning project that 

distributes grants of $5,000 

or less to Bay Area choreographers. The project grants 

funds to pay for production 

costs associated with the creation of new dance works, in 

all dance styles and aesthetics, 

which are to be completed 

and performed publicly within the ten-county Bay Area 

region. As an alternative to 

traditional funding sources, 

the fund encourages works by 

choreographers working 

either independently or for 

companies with annual budgets under $100,000, which 

because of their small budget 

size or unincorporated/independent status are often ineligible for funding elsewhere. 

This Challenge III project 

responds to a need inherent 

to the geographic and cultural diversity of Dance Bay 

Area’s constituency. The 

fund fills a niche by effectively drawing upon resources 

from the field and Dance Bay 

Area’s capacity to administer 

such a program as an arts service organization serving the 

second largest dance community in the country. $86,068 

was obligated during FY91. 

91-4622-0021 

~ Dance Theater 

Workshop, Inc. 

New York, NY $255,000 

To expand the pilot Creation 

Fund, which provides primary sponsors and presenters 

who are not members of the 

National Performance Network (NPN) with partnership funds to co-commission 

artists. The fund ensures that 

the new works have repeat 

performances by requiring 

each partner to present the 

co-commissioned artist. In 

addition, the Special Underwriting, Research, and 

Frontier Fund (SURFF) will 

enable primary sponsors to 

enhance the interaction 

between artist and community by supporting special outreach programs and collaborations with organizations 

outside the NPN. SURFF 

will be a means to connect 

the matter of art, its ideas 

and sensibilities, to the everyday experiences of a place 

and its people. 91-4622-0004 

Edmundson Art 

Foundation, Inc. 

Des Moines, IA $350,000 

To support the development 

of a park for environmental 

sculpture, extending the permanent collection beyond 

museum walls. The project 

includes commissioning sitespecific works by internationally recognized American 

artists. These sculptures will 

encourage active participation by the public. The 

sculpture park gives recognition to the importance of 

developing large-scale sitespecific sculpture and of 

including such works in a 

museum collection.

enhances the mainstage audience’s theater-going experience and reinforces the 

Guthrie’s commitment to 

artistic excellence. $400,000 

of this grant was obligated 

during FY91.91-4622-0006 

Houston Grand Opera 

Association, Inc. 

Houston, TX $1,000,000 

To redefine the repertory 

and, as a consequence, the 

audience constituency of a 

major American opera company by dramatically broadening its work to include new 

and/or nontraditional works 

that draw upon the musical 

styles and cultural milieu of 

the diverse peoples that make 

up Houston. Specifically, the 

program will focus energy, 

expertise, and financial resources to create and produce 

pieces outside the European 

cultural tradition that will 

serve as the basis for permanent bridges to and partnerships with audience groups 

not traditionally associated 

with opera in America.

Musical Traditions, Inc. 

San Francisco, CA $100,000 

To develop a new music theater work that will explore 

the dynamics in the age old 

story of women versus men 

from the man’s point of view. 

Set partly in a fantasy that 

includes romanticism and the 

history of love and contrasted 

with the reality of arguments, 

money trouble, and love-onthe-rocks, each song will have 

a matching media component like a music-video-style 

commentary. Created in 

three formats (live performance, video and audio 

recording), the three versions 

will be used to test new marketing strategies that could 

serve as national models. 

Specifically the non-artsattending listener of avant 

garde music will be introduced to the work initially 

through radio and television 

in geographical areas where 

performances are to take 

place. The formats will be 

designed so that the presenter 

can better market the live 

performance of new music 

theater while attempting to 

educate a broader base of the 

general public and increase 

their appreciation of experimental music theater. 

91-4622-0014 

~ National Public 

Radio, Inc. 

Washington, DC $750,000 

To create a new radio "Hothouse Unit" within National 

Public Radio’s cultural programming division. The 

mission of NPR’s cultural 

programming in the 1990s is 

to present an inclusive vision 

of American culture. To 

accomplish this goal, the 

"Hothouse Unit" will initiate 

a coordinated approach to 

program development, leading creators within and outside the public radio system

three-part education project 

that emphasizes multicultural 

perspectives in content, staff, 

232 National Endowment for the Arts 
 

 

and audience. Components 

include expansion of the 

High School Art Criticism 

Program, teacher training 

programs, and a curriculum 

guide. The High School Art 

Criticism Program will double the number of schools it 

reaches, focusing on public 

schools that serve students at 

risk of dropping out. This is 

being planned and developed 

with the Office of Alternative 

High Schools of the Board of 

Education. Students and 

teachers work with museum 

educators and artists in individually designed programs 

that include visits to artists’ 

studios, museums, and galleries. Students develop critical thinking skills through 

writing and studio art projects. Teacher training will be 

expanded to include monthly 

seminars throughout the 

school year. A two-week 

summer institute for high 

school teachers in all disciplines will be added to 

enhance understanding of 

contemporary art. The museum’s curriculum guide on 

contemporary art will be 

published professionally and 

distributed nationally. No 

such guide for contemporary 

art currently exists, and few 

resources are available with 

multicultural perspectives. 

These programs are being 

developed as national models 

for schools and museums 

and are expected to have a 

long-term impact on art 

education. $33,500 of this

Program Funds $6,498,024
 

The Arts in Education Program offers leadership and support 

for arts education programs nationwide through the development, implementation and evaluation of education programs 

in schools and cultural institutions. A major goal is to help 

make the arts as integral in education as English, math and 

science J~om pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. 

A 

rts in Education activities were furthered 

this year through a combination of grant 

programs and expanded Endowment leadership initiatives for a diverse constituency 

including state arts agencies, arts and education organizations, artists, teachers, administrators, parents and policymakers. About 75 percent of the program’s 

funds went to state arts agencies under two categories: 

State Arts in Education Grants and Arts in Schools Basic 

Education Grants. This was the final year for the two separate categories, which will merge next year to reflect 

changes in the growth and complexity of state programs. 

The states use Arts in Education Grant funds to support the cornerstone of their arts education programs: 

artist residencies. The state agencies ensure that quality 

artists who work in the schools provide direct service to 

students in ways that supplement what arts specialists 

teach. They also help teachers learn new ways to integrate 

arts instruction into their classes. Other components of 

these programs include teacher in-service workshops, 

artist residency handbooks, conferences and grant pro243
 
grams to encourage arts education planning and projects 

at the local level. Each year between 9,000 and 10,000 

artists in all fields reach about 4 million students, teachers 

and administrators. 

For example, with Arts in Education Grants support 

and aid from a private corporation, the Vermont Council 

on the Arts supported five 20-day curriculum development residencies to help integrate the arts into classrooms. Projects included creating a two-semester dance 

curriculum for high schools and adding a playwriting 

component to a middle school’s theater and English curricula. In Kansas, professional artists are involved in 

school residencies from kindergarten to twelfth grade as 

well as in cultural and social institutions. An annual orientation conference instructs artists, teachers, coordinators and representatives from the state department of education about implementing successful residencies. 

Arts in Schools Basic Educations Grants encourage 

state arts agencies to be catalysts for change in arts education. These agencies work in partnership with state and 

local education agencies, arts organizations and other 

advocates to develop and implement arts education 

action plans that suit each state. More than 40 states and 

special jurisdictions have engaged in statewide planning 

to make the arts a basic part of education. For example, 

with the support of grants in this category, the South 

Dakota Arts Council selected three schools representing 

urban, rural and tribal communities in which to develop 

sequential kindergarten through twelfth grade arts curricula. These curricula frameworks will all be available to 

other South Dakota schools. With support from the same 

grants category, Florida’s Division of Cultural Affairs, the 

state education agency, local arts agencies and major cultural institutions are developing a three-year plan to identify ways in which local cultural resources can be used 

and integrated into the schools. 

In this the final year of one category of general 

artist residencies in a variety State Arts in of educational settings and Education Grants	 other projects designed to

build upon existing arts education programs that include 

Special Projects grants, support went to a variety of arts 

and education organizations to support projects in curriculum and resource development, advocacy and staff 

development. For example, with a Special Projects grant, 

St. Paul’s Film in the Cities developed instructional models for video, computer graphics and audio production 

for physically challenged students. The Minnesota program included production workshops and curriculum 

planning for teachers. Another Special Projects grant 

helped the High Museum of Art in Atlanta to sponsor a 

workshop on "Multiple Perspectives: The AfricanAmerican Presence in Art Education and Museums" at 

the National Art Education Association meeting. The 

program focused on the integration of African-American 

content into kindergarten through twelfth grade programs and teacher in-service courses. 

The year also saw the start of the new Arts Education 

Collaboration Initiative. Funds help arts organizations 

collaborate with local schools or school systems to integrate dance, opera or theater education into the school. 

Multiyear awards are made to help encourage stronger 

committed partnerships. For instance, the Metro Theatre 

Company of St. Louis won support for a three-year project to collaborate with Maryville College and local public 

schools to develop theater curricula for teachers and for 

college students studying to be teachers. The project 

embraces history, esthetics, criticism and theater arts. 

The Music Center of Los Angeles received funds for a 

three-year project to support comprehensive multicultural 

programming in dance and opera-musical theater education in two elementary schools. Professional development 

activities are planned for teachers, parents and other community members. 

Support was also awarded to the Council for Basic 

Education to develop and implement a "teachers of the 

arts" fellowship program. The first fellowships will be 

awarded for the summer of 1992.

of Local Arts Agencies show that in our 50 biggest cities 

(excluding New York City), 89.5 percent of the dollars 

received by local arts agencies reached artists, arts organizations and audiences. Barely 10.5 percent was spent on 

administration. 

Support of this program’s initiatives by local governments is impressive. Grants in the Local Government 

Incentive Category require a two-to-one match by local 

(city and/or county) governments. In 1991, the projected 

254
 
match was 4.8 new public dollars for each Endowment 

dollar. The total match of local dollars to Locals Program 

dollars was projected at 5.5 to 1. Grants in this category 

will serve 1,356 local arts organizations in 135 communities in 11 states. Thirty-eight percent of these agencies are 

in rural areas. 

The Local Arts Agency Development Category has 

two primary aims: to encourage planning for community 

cultural development, and to improve the quality and caliber of local arts agency administrators and board members through leadership and management training. 

Through Planning and Professional Staff grants, the program increased its focus on the importance of community 

cultural planning, and the number of applications increased by 44 percent. This grants category stressed the 

value of access and communication between the local arts 

agency and other elements of the community. Business, 

education, government and human and social service 

leaders participated in planning projects, as did artists and 

arts organizations and their administrators, volunteers and 

board members. By raising community awareness about 

the role and value of the arts, the projects also heightened 

community involvement in and ownership and support 

of its cultural resources. Nineteen grants were funded in 

communities such as Lafayette, Louisiana; the Bronx, 

New York; Jasper, Indiana; and Eureka, California. 

Through Leadership Training and Services, the program supported activities at the regional and national levels that focused on professional development of local arts 

agency administrators. Activities included technical assistance and leadership workshops. Grants also supported 

continued development of national and regional services 

such as the National Assembly of Local Arts Agencies’ aid 

to local arts agencies around the country through economic impact studies, publications, information packets 

for administrators and workshops. 

For the first time, grants were available in 1991 to 

state arts agencies under a new category developed in 

keeping with the congressional mandate that the 

Endowment assist developing local arts agencies in rural, 

inner-city and under-served areas. These new set-aside 

funds went to 41 states and two special jurisdictions to 

provide assistance to local arts agencies for Technical 

Assistance and Basic Salary Assistance to better reach 

under-served communities. 

Twenty-six Technical Assistance grants funded more 

than 30 on-site management projects and consultancies. 

Thirty-one conferences and workshops were slated for 

areas not previously served. Local arts agency staff members in 12 states, including Alabama, Texas and Oregon, 

received travel assistance to attend conferences important 

to their professional development. Fourteen statewide 

assemblies of local arts agencies received funding for 

newly created executive director positions. Heven grants 

for Basic Salary Assistance provided 46 local arts agencies 

with support to hire first-time, full-time professional 

directors. Locals Program grantees come from throughout the country and undertake diverse projects. Some 

examples: 

In Florida, the Broward Cultural Affairs Council 

received a three-year grant to develop Artserve, which will 

offer support to 6,000 Broward County artists and 340 

not-for-profit cultural organizations. Artserve will provide 

consultant services, access to computer equipment and 

office services, shared office and storage space, and technical assistance in key management areas. This project 

will be developed in conjunction with the Business 

Volunteers for the Arts and the Ft. Lauderdale Chamber 

of Commerce Cultural Task Force. Two locations will be 

developed for this project in areas where downtown 

development and commitment from city officials and 

the arts communities have helped create pivotal points 

for the arts. 

The Milwaukee Arts Board received a three-year 

grant to develop two programs that support its broad 

public agenda of neighborhood development. These programs represent different methods of focusing community arts activities on the need for better cultural and racial 

diversification. The Neighborhood Arts Program supports grassroots groups working to become stable, neighborhood-based arts providers. It concentrates on providing technical and financial support at the neighborhood 

level. High Impact Projects grants are available to all 

established arts organizations in the city. The latter grants 

support projects aimed at diversifying staff, board, audience or program. These two programs represent the first 

local public programs in Milwaukee planned by representatives of the arts community and were developed as the 

result of a community cultural planning process.

three-year grant to develop decentralized, communitybased arts planning and services at local and regional levels. This project, supported by eight state legislators and 

mayors, involves local arts agencies in five diverse, rural 

regions, and has a long-term goal of helping to build a 

statewide arts service network over the next decade. The 

council will assist local arts agencies in achieving longterm funding from local governments. The quality of and 

access to cultural facilities will be improved; broader 

access to arts activities for youth and marketing outlets 

for artists will be provided. Training and financial support 

for small arts groups will be offered and groups will be

governments and communities in two states.

to artists. These agencies increase access through support 

for touring and presenting of performances and exhibitions, through arts education and through development 

of local arts agencies. State and regional agencies are particularly effective in reaching smaller communities; in 

1991 nearly one-third of state arts agency grants went to 

groups located in rural areas. 

Seven regional organizations augment the work of the 

state arts agencies in multistate regions. They offer support for presentations and exhibitions, assistance to individual artists and other initiatives tailored to individual 

regions. These organizations constitute a national network that delivers programs and services on a coordinated 

basis to all parts of the country. Further, they have proven 

their ability to supplement state and federal funds with 

private donations and earned income.

The Endowments 1990 reauthorization legislation requires programs participated in set-aside efforts this year: Expansion

state arts agencies and regional arts organizations to support 

projects in rural, inner-city and other artistically under- hrough the combined efforts of these four 

served areas. The goals of these projects are to raise the artistic programs, support reached most states, specapabilities of developing arts organizations, stimulate artis- cial jurisdictions, and a number of regional 

tic activity and awareness, and broaden public access to the T arts organizations. In total, $6.2 million was

arts. Thus, the Under-Served Communities Set-Aside offers awarded to projects in under-served comcompetitive program grants to state arts agencies and regional munities in FY 91; $3.9 million (64 percent) was awardarts organizations to help artistically under-served communi- ed to rural communities. Consequently, both artists and 

ties meet their particular needs and goals. Four Endowment citizens in rural, inner-city and other under- served areas 

265
 
willbe afforded a wider range of artistic opportunities. 

These multiprogram initiatives do not constitute the 

only new efforts the agency has made to reach underserved communities. For example, the Endowment and 

the National Assembly of Local Arts Agencies began 

planning for a series of regional meetings over the next 

two years to help rural communities maximize their 

resources in support of arts activities. In addition, we are 

launching a pilot program to bring emerging chamber 

music ensembles to rural communities for nine-month 

performing and teaching residencies. As for the four programs’ set-aside activities: 

Expansion Art: Many rural arts organizations have 

considerable potential to develop artistically and administratively. The Expansion Arts Program initiated a pilot 

Rural Arts Initiative in FY 89 to respond to their needs. It 

seeks to identify and strengthen emerging rural arts organizations that have the capacity to improve the quality of 

their work and to reach wider audiences. Matching grants 

of up to $40,000 per year have been awarded to state arts 

agencies for regranting to rural arts groups. 

The initiative, funded this year through the UnderServed Communities Set-Aside, continues to be administered by Expansion Arts. Eleven states have participated 

in the initiative to date: Alabama, Alaska, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, North 

Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Wisconsin. 

For example, a grant to the South Carolina Arts Commission supported a subgranting program to six exemplary 

rural arts organizations with institutional development 

potential. In each case, funds will be used to add staff 

positions to assist in the enhancement of artistic quality 

and the improvement of organizational stability. The six 

South Carolina organizations involved are Camp Baskerville of Pawleys Island; Williamsburg County Arts 

Council of Kingstree; Penn Center, Inc., of St. Helena 

Island; McCormick Arts Council at the Keturah in 

McCormick; Committee for African-American History 

Observance in Georgetown; and the McClellanville Arts 

Council. 

Folk Arts: The Folk Arts Program channeled set-aside 

moneys through its Folk Arts Organizations and State 

Arts Apprenticeships categories, thus allowing the program to use more fully the nationwide infrastructure of 

state folk arts coordinators. Through this network and 

with set-aside funds, the Folk Arts Program is undertaking groundbreaking work with populations and in 

regions that have been previously under-served. The Folk 

Arts Organizations category supports the presentation of, 

documentation of, and assistance to folk artists. Folk Arts 

Apprenticeships allow state agencies to apply for matching funds to assist apprenticeships between senior traditional artists or artisans and talented mid-level learners. 

This year the Folk Arts Program a~varded 43 grants 

totaling $863,600 in set-aside funds that directly reached 

25 states and two special jurisdictions. In addition, grants 

to two regional arts organizations indirectly supported 

projects in a number of states. 

Locals: Set-aside funds continue to be used for the 

Locals Program’s Assistance to Developing Local Arts 

Agencies in Rural, Inner-City and Other Under-Served 

Areas category. Two types of grants are available within 

this category: 1) Technical Assistance grants, which provide opportunities for staff development and technical 

assistance through state arts agencies working alone or in 

conjunction with statewide assemblies of local arts agencies; 2) Basic Salary Assistance grants, which serve as catalysts for establishing and stabilizing professional leadership in developing local arts agencies ready to move from 

volunteer to professional status through the hiring of professional, full-time executive directors. 

For example, a grant of $50,000 to the Institute of 

Puerto Rican Culture in San Juan supported technical 

assistance to local arts agencies in rural areas of Puerto 

Rico. The project will provide administrative and marketing training workshops to staffs of local arts agencies in 

five community arts centers in culturally under-served 

mountain municipalities. The workshops will focus on 

improving arts management skills and increasing access to 

the arts in isolated communities. 

State and Regional." A new program category, Arts Projects in Under-Served Communities, allows each applicant the flexibility to work with under-served communities to develop projects tailored to their particular needs. 

Competitive grants are available for projects that promote 

the arts in under-served communities by improving the 

artistic and managerial capabilities of developing arts 

organizations and/or stimulating artistic activity and 

awareness and broadening public access to the arts. 

During the first year of operation, this Under-Served 

266 National Endowment for the Arts 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Communities Set-Aside category received 77 applications 

for projects with total costs of $8.7 million. Twenty-nine 

proposals were awarded support totaling $2.9 million and 

serving 32 states. Eleven projects focused primarily on 

rural communities, nine focused on inner-city communities and another nine involved both rural and inner-city 

under-served communities. 

For example, the Wisconsin Arts Board received 

$100,000 to support a pilot grants program, "Access to 

the Arts in Under-Served Communities," in partnership 

with the Milwaukee Foundation and the Greater 

Milwaukee Educational Trust. The program will provide 

substantial and sustained support to several developing 

arts-producing, arts education, or community cultural 

organizations that show promise and are firmly rooted in 

the culture of artistically under-served communities. The 

program will emphasize support to Milwaukee’s innercity groups as a complement to the Arts Board’s successful Rural Arts Initiative, which targets under-served rural

The Office of Policy Planning, Research & Budget (OPPRB) 

coordinates the development and review of policy issues that 

affect the Endowments various disciplinary and partnership 

programs, using information derived~om policy and 

research analysis. It then develops recommendations that 

enable the agency to manage effectively its support of and 

access to excellence in the arts through integrated planning 

and budgeting processes.

evaluation are the policy and research activities funded by this office through its 

Policy Planning and Research Divisions.

funding for promoting accessibility to the arts for older 

and disabled people and those living in institutions 

through its Office for Special Constituencies. As part of 

OPPRB’s planning interest, it supports the professional 

development of arts managers through the Fellowship 

Program for Arts Administrators, managed by the Office 

of the Deputy Chairman for Management. 

To serve better the policymaking needs of the 

Endowment and to provide more integrated and effective 

services, OPPRB was restructured in 1991. This office 

assumed oversight responsibility for the Budget Office to 

ensure that the agency’s planning and budgeting are more 

closely linked and that the internal allocation of funds 

reflects the policies and priorities of the agency’s leaderOPPRB also provides education, technical support and ship as articulated through the planning process.

1 Cooperative Agreement

5 Grants 

Funds $325,000 

The International Office helps American artists and arts 

organizations reap the benefits of international interchange. 

Through information-sharing and modest grant-making, the 

Office seeks to encourage collaboration between diverse 

American and foreign arts organizations, expose more 

Americans to the international influences within American 

culture, and ensure that the excellence, diversity and vitality 

of the arts in the U.S. are represented internationally. 

T 

he Endowment has always recognized that 

involvement in international projects offers 

important benefits and opportunities to 

American artists, arts organizations and 

audiences. International exposure can have 

profound positive effects on an artist’s or organization’s 

artistry and public appeal, which in turn can improve its 

economic stability. 

International cultural events both at home and 

abroad foster public education and cultural literacy. They 

enrich the cultural life of inner-city and rural audiences, 

who often have had little opportunity to see cultural 

offerings from abroad. They help Americans of some 

170 different ethnic legacies explore their own cultures 

as well as others. 

While more American artists and organizations have 

begun to work internationally, funding for international 

activities is extremely limited. The deep interest in this 

area dramatically outpaces the financial resources. In fact, 

support from foreign governments has been key to the 

appearance of American artists abroad. Many foreign 

governments provide substantial funding for Americans 

to appear in their countries and subsidize appearances 

of their artists in the U.S. as well. Continued low levels 

of federal support of international cultural interchange 

threatens to undermine foreign funding. This would 

have sorry consequences for American artists, arts 

organizations and audiences. 

To address these issues, the International Office 

works with other Endowment programs on modest 

grantmaking activities. Through International Fellowships and Residencies, we support creative development 

fellowships for American artists abroad in interaction 

with host communities. We also help U.S. arts organizations host a foreign artist (or arts administrator) and 

undertake projects that benefit both parties. 

The International Projects Initiative provides modest 

funding for international cultural projects that enrich 

foreign interchange, deepen understanding of the diverse 

cultures of the United States, and encourage greater 

access for all American artists, arts organizations and 

audiences to high-quality international activities. Some 

exemplary ! 991 grants follow: 

We supported the artistic director of the African 

American Dance Ensemble in Durham, North Carolina, 

on a tour of the Gambia and Zimbabwe to interview village elder dancers and document the dance styles of their 

youth. The research will be made available to institutions 

throughout the United States. The Vermont Council 

on the Arts has begun the Vermont/Quebec Cultural 

Exchange to extend and deepen understanding of 

French-Canadian culture and heritage in Vermont and 

of Vermont culture and heritage in Canada. Young 

Aspirations/Young Artists (YA/YA) of New Orleans 

established "YA/YA Abroad," a project linking young 

inner-city design artists trained by YA/YA with their 

counterparts in communities in Europe. 

Our Partnership activities support projects that 

stimulate increased resources for international arts interchange or assist organizations to facilitate international 

programming. The Fund for U.S. Artists at International

American performers invited to international festivals, as 

well as to support American representation at important 

contemporary visual art exhibitions around the world. 

In the performing arts, such major American groups 

as the Houston Grand Opera, the Nikolais and Murray 

Louis Dance Company, and the Kronos Quartet participated in key festivals abroad with fund support in 1991.
