Chairman’s Statement
 

Over the past year, a conundrum has crossed my will enhance and broaden the work of the Arts 

mind time and again: what can we do to help the Endowment, while at the same time ensuring 

arts play a more meaningful part in our citizens’ artistic excellence as the foundation of its grantdaily lives, and how can the National giving process. 

Endowment for the Arts better make available Toward the goal of cultural understanding, 

quality arts to the citizens of this country? we have undertaken initiatives that cut across the 

Americans, asa whole, value the richness that arts disciplines and concern every partnership 

art, in its multiple forms, brings to their lives and with state, local and private arts organizations. 

those of their children. As this report shows, our Let us briefly examine these initiatives: 

twofold mission is to support artistic excellence 

and to provide access to that excellence for all ARTS EDUCATION 

citizens. 

The ultimate goal of the Endowment’s arts The National Endowment for the Arts is in 

education efforts is a citizenry that: the business of promoting creativity. Our grants 

to artists and arts organizations go to projects that  ̄ Recognizes and appreciates the life- have a positive impact in communities in all parts enhancing value of all art forms; of our nation. Over the 25-year history of this 

agency, we have been successful in this mission,  ̄ Understands that arts education, with its yet with the passing of each year, we realize that ability to teach creativity, is fundamental to we have more to do and greater challenges superior human performance in all ahead, 

An understanding of our culture is endeavors;

innate creativity and humanity through democratic institutions. As Leonard Garment, a participation in the arts; and lawyer and former cultural advisor to President 

Nixon, recently said: "[A] child who has not  ̄ Provides active support for the arts in both been moved early in life by a poem ora story is the private and public realms. not likely to be deeply affected later on by the 

burning of books..." For this stewardship of our nation’s culture, Since this Annual Report is for FY 1990, it all Americans -- young and old -- deserve a does not fully reflect some of the new directions quality education which emphasizes the undertaken in recent months. On November 5, fundamental value of the arts in our lives. The 1990, Congress enacted "The Arts and Endowment will expand existing programs which Humanities Amendments of 1990" which help bring artists-in-residence to schools and reauthorized the programs of the Endowment for other settings and help state arts agencies Fiscal Years 1991 - 1993. The provisions of this cooperate with state and local education leaders to new legislation will significantly affect the develop curricula and joint programs in arts Endowment’s grantmaking in coming years. The education. internal reforms in advisory panel and Nurturing our imaginative life is grantmaking procedures bring increased fundamental to our growth asa society. The arts responsiveness to our deliberations and will make have the power to stimulate students -- to inspire the Arts Endowment more accessible to all of the

The implementation of new helps build a well-rounded person with the conflict of interest rules strengthens our peer mental acuity to see and think creatively and panel review process. Finally, a new initiative critically. with state arts agencies will direct more federal Art teaches an appreciation of proportion, funds to rural, inner city and other areas that order, wit and genius. Granted, not everyone can have been underserved artistically. Taken asa perform or write, sculpt or paint, but all should be whole, the changes contained in this legislation given an opportunity to know about visual and 
spacial composition, harmony, design and 

structure so that they might better understand 

our world, 

This Administration has declared, and all 

Americans can agree, that an educated populace 

should be a first order of priority. A significant 

part of that education is to sights and sounds, to 

relationships and proportion, to poetry and plays. 

In short, it is education to those truths that tell us 

who we are and allow us to exercise discipline, 

intelligence, tolerance, compassion and intuition. 

ACCESS TO THE ARTS 

We will develop more cultural activities for 

people in rural areas, inner cities, and other areas 

underserved by the arts. We must ensure 

adequate facilities for these activities, encourage 

the use of new distribution channels and promote 

new techniques, and new venues: community 

centers, libraries, schools, halls. Every person in 

every state should have access to the arts. And 

we must recognize that there is no one ~ way 

to do or provide art -- we are limited only by our 

imaginations. 

Twenty-five years ago there was no 

National Endowment for the Arts, only a handful 

of state arts agencies, and few active local arts 

councils. Twenty-five years ago, most quality 

arts organizations were clustered in New York 

City anda few other metropolitan areas. 

Twenty-five years ago, acceptance, understanding 

and appreciation of the diversity of American 

culture was not the prevailing mood. Today 

quality arts programs can be found in virtually 

every major city, as well as many small towns, 

bringing excellent visual arts to Kansas City, 

music to Pittsburgh, dance to Houston, and so on 

through the breadth of this country. The 

National Endowment for the Arts has a catalytic 

part in helping to make communities places 

where art can flourish. But we still have far to go 

-- particularly in areas as yet unreached by some 

of the major arts disciplines. 

Our rural program is designed to help 

citizens in small and isolated communities realize 

their aspirations in the arts. A thorough study of 

existing categories, initiatives and programs 

which have an impact on rural areas is under way 

to determine which of these efforts might be 

improved or expanded. Additionally, as 

mandated by Congress in our reauthorization 

legislation, five percent of program funds are 

being transferred to the state arts agencies for 

rural and inner city initiatives. 

CULTURAL DIVERSITY 

We are committed to supporting organizations 

which reflect the cultural diversity in America. 

Our Expansion Arts Program was formed to 

reach organizations "deeply rooted in and 

reflective of culturally diverse, inner city, rural or 

tribal communities." Approximately 300 such 

organizations are funded each year, and 

Expansion Arts has nurtured many of the 

celebrated minority arts organizations in America 

-- from the Alvin Ailey Dance Company to El 

Teatro Campesino to the Japanese-American 

Cultural & Community Center in Los Angeles. 

Many more examples can be found under the 

Expansion Arts heading of this report and 

throughout all of the disciplines funded by the 

Endowment. 

The people of the United States descend 

from at least 170 discrete cultural backgrounds, 

and from each of these backgrounds comes art 

forms -- traditional and contemporary -- that are 

aesthetically distinctive, and essential to 

America’s cultural wealth. The Endowment’s 

goal is to assist all elements of America’s culture 

in the maintenance and development of its 

diverse parts and to promote access to artistic 

resources and opportunities for all groups. The 

latter includes enhancing the ability of all 

Americans to understand forms of artistic 

expression other than their own. To that end, the 

Endowment will celebrate the cultural diversity 

of American art through programmatic and 

administrative initiatives that extend beyond the 

Expansion Arts Program and cut across all of the 

agency’s discipline programs. 
INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE 

The arts in every culture represent those deeply 

embedded cultural values which constitute a glue 

that holds the society together. The cultural 

values of our country include energy, innovation, 

idealism, breadth of thinking, youth and 

freshness, adaptability and passion. Certainly 

these aren’t all of them, but these are reflected in 

an art which is uniquely American and about 

which we hardly need be apologetic. We are 

eager to share these cultural achievements of our 

country with the rest of the world, and we expect 

to learn from the values expressed in the culture 

of other nations, 

At present, we offer modest support to 

international activities, yet within our limited 

resources, we’ve pursued the programs 

mentioned in the pages of this report. We would 

like to do more in the international sphere. The 

plans for the future are twofold: 

Reciproci .ty: we wish to increase two-way 

exchanges, not only asa service to American art 

and American audiences, but also to reach out to 

other artists, institutions and audiences in the 

community of nations -- through more residency 

programs, institutional linkages, support of 

"suitcase funds" to enable artists to travel and 

learn from different cultures, and support of 

special events such as historical commemorations 

or the upcoming 500th anniversary of Columbus’ 

voyage to America. 

We will also explore collaborative efforts 

with the states and the private sector, such as 

Sister Cities cultural programs, international 

exhibitions and performing arts tours, and more. 

For instance, we helped support the Goodwill 

Arts Festival -- which solda greater percentage 

of its tickets than the Goodwill Games -- in 

Seattle last summer. Through this festival, 

American audiences had the chance to watch the 

Bolshoi Ballet perform or see the Moscow Theatre 

present Chekhov’s plays. 

Art is a search for truth and understanding, 

a spirit we have in our international affairs. We 

must use our idealism and creativity to reach out 

to other nations and to help find the just solution 

to international problems. This new age will 

depend on our willingness to listen, to share ideas 

and know-how, to see that our strength does not 

depend only on power, but also on leadership. 

The future has never been more in our hands. 

And together, we can make the next decade the 

most exciting our world has ever seen. 

SUPPORT OF CULTURAL INSTITL~TIONS 

AND ARTISTS 

Support of the nation’s exemplary cultural 

institutions and American artists continues to be 

a priority. In times of budget constraints ir is 

possible to lose sight of the repositories of our 

nation’s creativity -- these cultural institutions, 

both large and small, and artists throughout the 

land that ate among our national treasures. 

These groups, sometimes with large budgets and 

rich histories, are no less deserving of federal 

support because of their success. By maintaining 

America’s shared cultural traditions, they play a 

critical tole both in preserving the past and 

exploring the future. That future cannot be 

mortgaged by assuming that these institutions, 

which have served Americans so well for so long, 

can exist without the continued support of the 

federal government. Cultural policy should 

safeguard the "cultural treasures" of our society, 

not only through preservation and conservation 

efforts, but through a forum to acknowledge and 

showcase them. 

Our cultural institutions include not only 

the venerated organizations like the Museum of 

Modern Art, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, or the 

Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, but those 

places, large and small, which help give a sense of 

identity to community. Institutions like the St. 

Paul Chamber Orchestra, or the Nelson-Atkins 

Museum in Kansas City; the Guadalupe Cultural 

Arts Center in San Antonio, or the Artists of 

Indian America in New Mexico.

An Annual Report is often seen as the bottom-line 

performance of a company or agency over the 

course of the past fiscal year, but this report not 

only highlights those past successes, but gives a 

blueprint for our future efforts. The 4,475 grants 

listed here show that the arts are for all 

Americans and that Federal government support 

is therefore a democratic ideal. 
The difficulties and successes of the past 

year have strengthened our resolve to pursue our 

mission. We build for the future on the basis of 

these fundamental findings: 

 ̄ It is in our national interest to promote the 

cultural advancement of our society, justas 

we support progress in scientific and 

medical research. Art is central to our 

society, not separate, remote or expendable, 

Art edifies and enriches our minds and 

souls. The arts help give us an identity, 

and support for creativity is a signal of a 

government’s commitment to the growth 

and well-being of its people. 

 ̄ Arts activities are a catalyst for economic 

growth, adding billions to our national 

economy each yearo The arts provide jobs, 

attract and retain businesses to our 

communities, and stimulate tourism, 

 ̄ Art increases the cultural literacy of our 

citizenry, helping them retain knowledge, 

making our citizens more thoughtful, 

productive, and competitive in today’s 

world, 

 ̄ Federal support shows our commitment to 

the general welfare of our citizens, 

particularly in their pursuit of happiness, 

and support on the national level is a sign to 

the rest of the world of the value our 

country places on our culture and 

civilization. 

 ̄ Endowment support provides opportunities 

for artists and arts organizations to grow, 

and for audiences across the country to 

experience quality art. The Arts 

Endowment provides vital national 

leadership in the arts. Federal support for 

the arts is a catalyst for the state, local, and 

regional public support network and for the 

private sector-- foundations, corporations 

and individuals -- none of which have the 

resources to make funding 

recommendations from a national 

perspective. 

 ̄ Our national arts agency helps preserve the 

traditions of our diverse cultural heritage 

and broadens the audience for the arts so 

that not just the wealthy and elite, but every 

citizen wishing to participate in our 

country’s cultural activities can do so. 

Taken asa whole, the grants described in 

this report represent our commitment to these 

ideals. The past year was one of change for the 

National Endowment for the Arts, yet, 

paradoxically, these changes renew our vigor for 

our mission and remind us of our commitment to 

the tenets upon which this agency was founded. 

Emerson wrote that, "Beauty [in art] will not 

come at the call of a legislature... It will come, as 

always, unannounced, and spring up between 

the feet of brave and earnest men." The National 

Endowment for the Arts will never call great art 

into being. Indeed, our enabling legislation 

makes this very point. We are charged with the 

mission of helping to sustain a climate for 

creativity, where artists may pursue their vision, 

and where all citizens may enjoy, acknowledge 

and learn from excellent art when it chances to 

appear. With the support of our public and 

private partners, who enthusiastically value and 

support the arts, we hope to open doors for every 

American to enjoy our wonderfully diverse 

culture and to help the arts in America to 

flourish.

Endowment support provides opportunities for artists to grow and for 

audiences across the country to experience quality art. Professional choruses 

in the United States grew from ten in 1965 to 80 in 1990. In fisca11990, the

Opera in America is experiencing a groundswell of creativity. Audiences are 

being drawn from all segments of our communities and many companies 

perform to sold-out houses. Professional opera companies grew from 27 in 

1965 to 120 in 1990. 

Regional opera companies 

provide career-boosting

The Agency and its Functions
 

THE NATIONAL FOUNDATION ON THE 

ARTS AND THE HUMANITIES 

In 1965 Congress created the National Foundation 

on the Arts and the Humanities as ah 

independent agency of the executive branch of 

the federal government. The foundation consists 

of the National Endowment for the Arts, the 

National Endowment for the Humanities, the 

Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities, 

and the Institute of Museum Services. The 

Foundation is a legislative umbrella concept; ir 

has no administrative or programming identity 

separate from its components. 

NATIONAL COUNCIL ON THE ARTS 

Formed in 1964, the National Council on the Arts 

preceded by one year the establishment of the 

National Foundation on the Arts and the 

Humanities. 

The Council is composed of the Chairman 

of the National Endowment for the Arts, who 

serves as Chairman of the Council, and 26 

Presidentially appointed citizens who are 

recognized for their knowledge of the arts, or for 

their expertise or profound interest in the arts. 

The Council is mandated by law to advise the 

Chairman on policies, programs, and procedures. 

It also must review and make recommendations 

on applications for grants. 

Council members serve six-year terms, 

staggered so that roughly one-third of all the 

Council rotates every two years, 

NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS 

The National Endowment for the Arts, an 

independent agency of the federal government, 

was created in 1965 to encourage and support 

American art and artists. Its major goals are to 

foster artistic excellence by helping to develop the 

nation’s finest creative talent, to preserve our 

cultural heritage in all its diversity, to make the 

arts available to wider, more informed audiences, 

and to promote the overall financial stability of 

American arts organizations, 

The Endowment serves asa catalyst to 

increase opportunities for artists and to spur 

involvement in the arts by private citizens, public 

and private organizations, and the states and 

communities. The agency does not director 

interfere with the creative activities of individual 

artists or arts organizations. Rather, it acts asa 

partner with the arts-support community, using 

federal resources to develop and promote a 

broadly conceived national policy of support for 

the arts. 

CHAIRMAN OF THE ENDOWMENT 

The Chairman of the Arts Endowment is
 

appointed by the President of the United States,
 

with the advice and consent of the Senate, fora
 

term of four years. The Chairman provides
 

overall direction to the work of the Endowment.
 

By law, the Chairman makes final decisions on
 

policies, programs, procedures, and the awarding
 

of all grants and contracts.
 

ENDOWMENT PANELS 

The panels serve the individual Programs of the
 

Endowment muchas the National Council on the
 

Arts serves the Endowment asa whole. Together
 

the Council and panels provide a system of
 

professional peer review to evaluate applications,
 

identify problems, and develop the policies and
 

programs through which the Endowment
 

responds to changing conditions.
 

More than 800 private citizens serve on
 

these panels, whose membership rotates
 

regularly. Panelists are appointed by the
 

Chairman with the advice of the staff and Council
 

members, as well as organizations and leaders in
 

the field.
 

METHODS OF FUNDING 

Grant money authorized by Congress comes to
 

the Endowment in program funds, the Treasury
 

Fund, and Challenge Grant funds. Most direct
 

grants to organizations and individuals come
 

from program funds. Program grants to
 

organizations must be matched at least dollarfor-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 are awarded for projects 

that contribute to artistry, access to the arts, 

appreciation of the arts, and support systems for 

the arts. These grants must be matched on at least 

a three-to-one basis in new or increased funds.

OTHER FUNDS: $50,000 

The Dance Program assists a broad range of dance 

nationwide through support to professional 

companies, choreographers, and individuals of 

organizations that present or serve dance. 

In 1990, the Dance Program supported a growing 

range of dance forms, activities, and special 

projects exhibiting the highest artistic quality. 

Crucial, unburdened assistance was given to 

choreographers through fellowships to support 

their creative development. The high caliber, 

aesthetic range, and cultural diversity of this 

year’s grantee pool was exemplified by three-year 

fellowships at the highest funding levels awarded 

to Dianne McIntyre, Kimi Okada and Indrani 

Rahman. 

Dance Company Grants helped companies 

to realize projects that serve their artistic and 

organizational needs both at home and on tour. 

This year’s grants aided the sustained excellence 

of world-renowned companies producing 

original works, such as the Trisha Brown Dance 

Company. Ballet companies, including the 

Miami City Ballet and Louisville Ballet, acquired 

new works for their repertoire. Grants supported 

major national tours of such internationally 

renowned companies as American Ballet Theatre 

and Laura Dean Dancers and Musicians. 

Companies that perform dances rooted in a 

variety of cultural traditions, such as the 

Guateque Folkloric Taller of Puerto Rico and the 

African-American Dance Ensemble in Durham, 

North Carolina received support. Grants to Dance Presenters assisted the 

presentation of a broad range of outstanding 

dance artists and companies in communities 

across the country -- from emerging 

organizations, such as Diverseworks in Houston, 

to present young dance innovators in its series, to 

the established John F. Kennedy Center for the 

Performing Arts in Washington, DC. 

Encouraging signs of new presenter/artist 

relationships were evidenced by commissions to 

choreographer Lar Lubovitch from the Annenberg 

Center in Philadelphia and to Bill T. Jones from 

the University of Arizona in Tucson. Dance 

presentations at festivals and dance residencies 

were highlighted by the National Black Arts 

Festival in Atlanta, Hawaii’s Moanalua Gardens’ 

Prince Lot Hula Festival, and the Alvin Ailey 

American Dance Theatre’s two-week residencies 

presented by the Friends of Alvin Ailey in Kansas 

City, Missouri and the Celebrity Series of Boston. 

Dance/Film/Video grants promoted the 

use of film and video to preserve, enhance, and 

expand the art of dance. Underscoring the 

concern for preservation of the dance field’s 

history, the Cunningham Dance Foundation and 

Twyla Tharp Dance Foundation received support 

to preserve and restore early and obsolete video 

tapes in their archives. 

Critical services for the professional dance 

field were supported through General Services to 

the Field grants. Managerial services were 

provided by City Celebration in San Francisco to 

Bay Area ethnic dance companies and soloists; 

the International Tap Association provided 

support through the Colorado Dance Festival in 

Boulder; and Dance Umbrella in Austin served 

Texas dance artists. 

The Dance Program’s Special Projects 

category supported ongoing model projects with 

national and international impact, such as the 

National Performance Network, the "Alive From 

Off-Center" television series, and Dance On Tour. 

In partnership with the Media Arts Program, it 

supported a pilot initiative to develop new 

choreography for television broadcast; and in 

cooperation with the Andrew W. Mellon 

Foundation, it supported an examination of 

existing systems of dance documentation, 

preservation and archives.

DESIGN ARTS 

139 GRANTS 

PROGRAM FUNDS: $4,240,000 

The Design Arts Program supports excellence in the 

disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, 

urban and regional planning, historic preservation, 

and graphic, industrial, and interior design through a 

combination of grants and leadership activities. The 

Program strives to make the public more aware of the 

benefits of good design by promoting informed design 

discussions and criticism. It seeks to link the public 

with valuable design resources and encourages design 

approaches that stimulate creativity while celebrating 

design heritage, 

To help the public become more aware of the 

importance of the design process, FY90 

leadership activity concentrated on design in the 

public realm. The Mayors’Institute on City 

Design, a short course in urban design principles 

for elected officials, continues to be held twice 

yeafly at the University of Virginia. In addition, 

it was "franchised" on the regional level to serve 

the mayors of smaller cities. The University of 

Minnesota and Tulane University sponsored the 

first regional institutes for the midwest and south 

in FY90. Plans for western and eastern institutes 

are under way. 

In an effort to increase access to the 

benefits of quality design, the Program initiated 

the Design for Housing Forum. Workshops 

around the country bring together nonprofit 

developers and designers to discuss the role of 

design in the creation of long-term solutions to 

the need for low-income housing. 

To focus attention on the federal 

government’s impact on the public realm, 

planning began for an exhibition "From Mars to 

Main Street: America Designs, 1965-1990," which 

is scheduled to open in 1992. It will explore the 

recent design activity of the federal government ­

this country’s largest design client - and 

emphasize the role of the public in shaping 

federal design. 

Design Arts grants promoted muchneeded discussions about design and several 

design curriculum projects during FY90. The 

Winnetka, Illinois, Public School System 

sponsored a conference for educators and 

architects to encourage collaboration on the 

design of school buildings that combine 

traditional and new technologies. Another grant 

supported a traveling exhibition of contemporary 

Soviet posters, never before viewed in the U.S., 

depicting recent political and social change. The 

exhibition promoted critical dialogue on the 

universal power of graphic symbolism through 

its insight into contemporary Soviet experience. 

Also a priority in FY90 was the support of 

creativity and appreciation of American design 

heritage. Innovative design projects included the 

design and development of a prototypical solar 

electric boat, and an exercise device for the elderly 

addressing needs not met by products currently 

on the market. A traveling exhibition traced the 

architectural, landscape, and urban design 

development of cities across the country through 

a presentation of America’s grand avenues from 

1850 to 1920. 

Urgent design needs were also met 

through Design Arts Progam grants. In the 

aftermath of Hurricane Hugo and the Loma Prieta 

earthquake, projects assessed damage to historic 

properties and helped communities develop 

strategies to save these resources. 

The Program played a leadership role in 

providing design information and expertise to the 

public free of charge through ongoing services, 

induding a computerized library of information 

on thousands of design projects conducted in 

communities throughout the U.S. This resource 

offers a national perspective on individual design 

problems, supporting a better understanding of 

how to achieve design excellence.

EXPANSION 

ARTS 

378 GRANTS 

PROGRAM FUNDS: $6,648,100 

The Expansion Arts Program supports projects of 

professional arts organizations that are deeply rooted 

in and reflective of culturally diverse, inner-city, 

rural, or tribal communities. 

Projects supported by the Expansion Arts 

Program demonstrate the evolving artforms of 

American ethnic and rural communities whose 

artists offer a variety of creative work. Some are 

concemed with preservation of the classical 

forms of their people and some use these forros as 

a basis for experimentation that enlarges the 

American arts vocabulary. This work enriches 

both the community and the arts mainstream, 

which is showing increased interest in the work 

of these artists, 

The Program’s Expansion Arts category 

supports the production and presentation of art, 

and the training of gifted individuals who have 

the potential to be career artists. This training is 

valuable in communities where there are few 

opportunities for individuals with talent and 

dedication, particularly the young, to receive 

vigorous, disciplined instruction, 

One example of such an arts instruction 

program is Philadelphia’s Brandywine 

Workshop, which offers specialized training and 

preparation for career advancement in 

printmaking to emerging and established artists. 

The St. Francis Music Center in Little Falls, 

Minnesota, serving a nine-county rural area, 

provides comprehensive instruction for musicians 

and composers, 

Services to the Field grants provide 

assistance to arts organizations and artists that 

require support in areas such as management, 

proposal writing, record keeping, promotion and 

equipment loanso The Association of Hispanic 

Arts (AHA) in New York City produces a 

monthly newsletter, operates technical assistance 

and audience development programs, and an 

information service that collects and disseminates 

data on employment, education, and other 

opportunities for Hispanic artists and arts 

organizations throughout the nation. 

Special Projects promotes pilot projects 

and initiatives. The Rural Arts Initiative now 

includes nine states in a matching regrant 

program that attempts to enhance the 

professional status of a selected number of rural 

arts organizations. This initiative is based on the 

premise that considerable meritorious art is being 

produced by the artists in rural America, but that 

resources for arts development in these 

communities are scant. 

The Organizational Development Pilot 

assists Expansion Arts’ presenters in their efforts 

to develop professional staffs. This project, a 

partnership of Expansion Arts and the InteroArts 

Program, includes a Latin-American arts 

presenter in Hartford, Connecticut, and an 

African-American multidisciplinary center in 

Charlotte, North Carolina. 

The Community Foundation Initiative, 

which develops endowments in community 

foundations for emerging arts organizations and 

artists with limited access to local donors, is in its 

final stage with nine sites in the process of 

completing the four-year cycle.

FOLK ARTS 

174 GRANTS 

PROGRAM FUNDS: $3,429,100 

The Folk Arts Program supports the traditional arts 

that have grown through time within the many groups 

that share the same ethnic heritage, language, 

occupation, religion, of geographic atea. These folk 

arts include music, dance, poetry, tales, oratory, 

crafts, and various types of visual art forms, 

In 1990, national attention focused on the folk arts 

through an increasing number of major 

productions. Alan Lomax’s series of films on 

American folk music traditions, "American 

Patchwork," and the three-part television 

production "Routes of Rhythm" with Harry 

Belafonte appeared on national public television, 

Carnegie Hall included a sell-out series of twelve 

concerts, "Folk Masters: Traditional Music in the 

Americas," in its gala Centennial Seasons 

celebration. A National Geographic feature story, 

"Masters of Traditional Arts," showcased 14 of 

the National Heritage Fellowship artists. Folk Arts Organizations projects reflected 

increased public access to the best of American 

folk arts. The National Black Arts Festival in 

Atlanta presented a traditional arts day featuring 

gospel and blues music, African-American crafts 

workers, and storytellers. Oakland, California’s 

Festival at the Lake -- the largest multi-cultural 

festival in the Bay area -- included "Earth Songs 

and Woven Baskets," a presentation of California 

Indian arts with over 120 American Indian artists, 

including Cahuilla bird-song singers and Klamath 

brush dancers. The Mexican music tour "Raices 

Musicales" (Musical Roots), organized by the 

National Council for the Traditional Arts, drew 

major audiences on its West Coast tour and was 

featured on National Public Radio’s "Morning 

Edition." 

Many cultural communities looked inward 

to celebrate and strengthen their own traditional 

art forms. A series of one-week singing schools 

held in small towns of the Deep South brought 

master teachers of the Anglo-American Sacred 

Har~ song tradition to many who otherwise 

would not have had the opportunity to learn 

from them. The Tohono O’odham Native 

Americans in southern Arizona held a festival of 

their own traditional dance music known as 

waila. 

Civic groups organized events that 

revealed the richness of artistic traditions in their 

own regions. The Cedarburg Cultural Center in 

Wisconsin mounted a traveling exhibition of folk 

musical instruments created by Wisconsin 

traditional artists. The city of Lowell, 

Massachusetts, attracted over 150,000 people to 

the first Lowell Folk Festival, which presented the 

folk arts of Cambodian, Hispanic, Irish, AfricanAmerican, and other local cultural groups. 

The State Apprenticeship category 

supported 20 states in setting up new programs 

for apprenticeships between traditional artists 

and talented mid-level leamers. The Guam 

Council on the Arts and Humanities’ territorywide apprenticeship program continued to 

support pandanus and coconut frond weaving, 

traditional songs in the Chamorro language, 

Chamorro stick dancing, and other Guamanian 

art forros. The Idaho Commission on the Arts 

offered apprenticeship grants to members of the 

five Idahoan Native American tribes. 

In 1990, National Heritage Fellowships 

were awarded to 13 of the nation’s most 

distinguished folk artists. The Heritage 

Fellowships bring many American folk artists 

wider acclairn, which often results in more 

performance opportunities, demand for their 

work, and respect for their art forros.

INTER-ARTS 

238 GRANTS 

PROGRAM FUNDS: $4,232,904 

TREASURY FUNDS: $400,000 

The Inter-Arts Program promotes institutions such as 

presenting organizations, artist communities, and 

service organizations that serve more than one artistic 

discipline, and supports projects involving original 

work by artists from a variety of disciplines, 

In FY90, Presenting Organizations sponsored 

more than 25,000 arts events throughout the 

United States, which reached more than seven 

million Americans during the 1989-90 

performance season. In addition, a variety of 

special initiatives provided leadership for the 

field, 

"An American Dialogue," the final 

report of the National Task Force on Presenting 

and Touring the Performing Arts, was issued in 

December 1989. The report illustrates a more 

pluralistic conception of presenting, one that 

acknowledges the role of the arts presenter asa 

full partner with artists and community members 

in the dynamic process of arts creation and 

access. The Task Force was supported by the 

Inter-Arts Program, The Rockefeller Foundation, 

and Pew Charitable Trusts, and coordinated by 

the Association of Performing Arts Presenters. 

The Festival International de Louisiane in 

Lafayette, Louisiana, received support for the 

April 1990 festival of free events that juxtaposes 

Cajun/Creole and contemporary Louisiana 

artists with international, national and regional 

artists. The "Louisiana Open House 1990: 

Reunion de Monde Francophone" presented 

forty-seven groups to audiences from thirty-six 

states, Canada, Mexico, and several other foreign 

countries, 

The Artists’ Projects: New Forros 

category, focusing on innovation in the arts and 

on increased access for emerging and 

multicultural artists, experienced a 100 percent 

increase in the number of applications -- up from 

218 in FY88 to 436 in FY90. 

With Inter-Arts support, Crosspulse, Inc. 

in El Sobrante, California, developed "Body 

Tjak," a new collaborative work by 

percussionist/rhythm dancer Keith Terry and 

choreographer/performer I Wayan Dibia. The 

evening-length work was a featured presentation 

of San Francisco’s Festival 2000 series at Fort 

Mason’s Cowell Theater and completed a 

successful two-week tour of Indonesia. The work 

features traditional forms of Kecak (incorporating 

high-energy, interlocking vocal patterns) and 

Body Music (rhythm and dance created via 

clapping, slapping, stepping, and vocalizing) 

reworked in contemporary and original ways 

that combine and extend traditional forms into a 

new artistic expression. The cast of 16 included 

eight American and eight Indonesian performers. 

The regionally based subcategory New 

Forros Regional Initiative now reaches artists in 

al150 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto 

Rico. Selection of artists is made by regional 

panels of arts professionals. A $15,000 grant, 

matched by a $15,000 award by The Rockefeller 

Foundation, went to the Southeast Community 

Cultural Center/The Arts Exchange in Atlanta, 

Georgia, to support a grant program for artists in 

a five-state area. The Arts Exchange has garnered 

additional support from the Kentucky Arts 

Commission, the North Carolina Arts 

Commission, anda network of southeastern arts 

organizations to reach artists across the region. 

Artist communities provide artists with 

space, time, and materials to create their work, 

and the demand is overwhelming. In 1990, a 

group of 17 communities received more than 

8,360 requests but were able to accommodate 

fewer than 1,600 artists. Similarly, arts service 

organizations strive to fill the myriad needs of 

artists and arts organizations. Thousands of 

individual artists and hundreds of arts 

organizations have limited access to necessary 

services, including health care, work space, 

technical support, forums for thought, advocacy 

on key issues, management services and access to 

information.

the opportunity to devote time to their craft, 

Fellowships were awarded to writers living in 

every region of the country. Nine literary 

translators received support to translate the 

works of other languages into English. Projects 

included translations from languages poorly 

represented in English, such as Serbo-Croatian, 

Catalan, and Hindi.

electronic media, such as video and audio tapes. 

Community-based literary centers such as The 

Loft in Minneapolis, Woodland Pattem in 

Milwaukee, and Writers & Books in Rochester, 

present the best of this country’s writers to a 

broad audience. 

In recognition of lifetime contributions to 

American letters, poet Denise Levertov and prose

Fellowships in Literature. These fellowships are 

meant not only to reward writers for past work, 

but to allow them the freedom to continue to 

create.

The Media Arts: Film/Radio/Television Program 

encourages the creativity of individual media artists, 

assists organizations that bring the work of these 

artists to the public through exhibition and broadcast, 

and provides nationwide access to the best of all the 

arts through support of public radio and television 

programs. 

In 1990, television and radio broadcasts supported 

by the Media Arts program continued to build 

appreciati~ for our cultural heritage. The 

Metropolitan Opera’s production of Wagner’s 

Ring Cycle, broadcast on PBS on four successive 

nights, was one of the most watched public 

broadcasting television programs ever. Wagner’s 

masterpiece was brought to millions of people, 

many of whom live in rural areas and small 

towns. American Masters continued its historic 

series on our greatest artists in every field, 

induding Cole Porter, Preston Sturges, and John 

Cage. American Patchwork surveyed the richness 

of our folk arts. On radio, Aaron Copland’s 90th 

birthday was saluted with a special tribute, and 

Mountain Stage weekly broadcasts presented 

traditional musicians and storytellers to a growing 

public radio audience, 

Media Arts Centers -- nonprofit 

organizations devoted to film/video exhibition 

and production/postproduction services -­

became an increasingly important educational 

presence in our media-immersed culture. A 

media center in St. Paul/Minneapolis reached out 

to schools and community centers throughout the 

state. In Kentucky, school children learned how 

to use media through hands-on instruction. In 

Portland, Oregon, filmmaking became an integral 

part of classroom activities; and in New York 

City, one center conducted video workshops in 

Spanish and Chinese. 

These media centers offered a forum for 

films and filmmakers from all parts of the world 

to reach American audiences and to provide 

experiences unavailable at commercial theaters. 

Exhibitions such as New Cinema from Taiwan, 

Fifty Years of Mexican Cinema, and Germany: 

The Latest Wave reported on the state of an 

artform that crosses international boundaries with 

ease. 

Seven regional fellowship programs 

assisted media artists through cooperative 

funding between private foundations, state arts 

councils and the Arts Endowment. The national 

production program and the American Film 

Institute’s fellowship program this year 

numbered among their grantees several previous 

regional fellowship recipients. The variety of 

these production grants demonstrates the breadth 

of the American experience -- from Michelle 

Parkinson’s documentary on women preachers in 

the black church, to Dan Reeves’ videotape on the 

lives of women who have lost their husbands to 

the war in Vietnam, to Edward Ratke’s feature 

film on the ties that bind three generations of an 

Ohio farm family. 

The Endowment has been steadily 

committed to two massive preservation 

enterpñses, which have continued incremental 

progress: the American Film Institute’s decadeby-decade catalogue of American feature films, 

and the National Moving Image Database. 

Through these projects, information essential to 

the preservation enterprise becomes available to 

archives, scholars and the general public.

510 GRANTS 

PROGRAM FUNDS: $11,268,891 

TREASURY FUNDS: $1,470,000 

The Museum Program supports projects of artistic 

significance in the museum field through grants 

to museums, organizations, and museum 

professionals. It supports museum activities that 

present art to the public through exhibitions, and 

contributes to the understanding of art through 

the presentation of art in the galleries, special 

exhibitions, educational programs, lecture series, 

and publications, 

In 1990, the Museum Program supported a wide 

range of projects, including several significant 

exhibitions: selected works of Seurat at the 

Indianapolis Museum of Art, drawings of 

Anthony Van Dyck at the Pierpont Morgan 

Library, and the works of two 19th-century 

American artists -- William Stanley Haseltine at 

the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and 

Albert Bierstadt at the Brooklyn Museum.

Through conservation grants the 

Museum Program provided funds for student 

stipends at several graduate training centers in 

conservation and funds for graduate intemships 

in conservation in museums. The program also 

supported the conservation of works of art and 

the purchase of equipment for conservation 

laboratories. Space where works of art are 

exhibited and stored in museums was enhanced 

through improved security and climate control. 

For example, new climate control equipment was 

funded at the Berkshire Museum, Pittsfield, 

Massachusetts; at Reynolda House, WinstonSalem, North Carolina; and at the Lyman Allyn 

Museum, New London, Connecticut.

The Music Program provides support for the creation 

and performance of music, with ah emphasis on 

assisting the growth ofAmerican music and 

musicians, 

Music Program activities in fiscal year 1990 

demonstrated that we are in an "age of musical 

pluralism." Grant applications were received 

from a diverse group of individuals and 

organizations dispersed throughout the country, 

and the Program advanced a wide range of 

musical projects. 

Support was provided for chamber 

music concerts in Boise, Idaho, and Portland, 

Oregon, featuring chamber music spanning four 

centuries, including two premieres. A series of 

concerts in New York City introduced Chinese 

immigrants to westem classical music. Three 

Appalachian communities in western North 

Carolina received a five-week concert series, 

Festivals were held in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, 

and Teton Village, Wyoming. The Second 

National Black Arts Festival were held in Atlanta 

Georgia. Orchestral and jazz concerts were 

presented in Sandpoint, Idaho. 

Jazz, the National American Treasure, 

was supported through 55 fellowship grants for 

performance, composition, study and special 

projects. Fifty additional grants supported jazz 

presenters, jazz management, and jazz special

projects. Jazz Masters Fellowships were awarded 

to three jazz legends: George Russell, Cecil 

Taylor, and Gerald Wilson. This is the ninth year 

of Jazz Master recognition. 

The Music Program provided funds to 

choruses with all paid singers and those who pay 

three or fewer singers, located in all geographic 

regions of the country. The Orchestra category 

received 225 applications and funded 180 

orchestras in all geographic regions. The largest 

number of orchestras supported was in the Great 

Lakes and the Southeast regions. 

The Orchestra’s Services to the Field subcategory continued support for the Affiliate 

Artists/Arts Endowment Conductor’s Program 

that provides residencies for young American 

conductors with American orchestras. Creative 

Projects supported the San Francisco Symphony 

Orchestra’s "New Ears" Program, which 

introduces adults -- the parents of public school 

children and corporate employees -- to classical 

music. 

The Special Projects category continues 

to accommodate a variety of efforts that are 

ineligible elsewhere in the Music Program. One 

such program addresses a problem common to 

urban and community orchestas by improving 

the performance skills of volunteer orchestra 

musicians through professional training 

activities.

Roanoke, Virginia, and large companies like the 

Seattle Opera demonstrate the full range of 

producing activity supported in the OperaMusical Theater Program. 

The Regional Touring category assists 

companies in developing wider audiences and in 

increasing visibility for the field. Regional 

Touring grants expose new audiences to a wide 

array of styles -- from works produced by 

companies like the Texas Opera Theater, to 

California’s George Coates Performance Works, 

to the Mad River Theater Works in Ohio. 

New American Works grants support the 

growth of music theater and new creative talent. 

A variety of cultural voices have found support 

through such projects as Micki Grant’s "The Tales 

of Madame Zora," Steve Reich’s "The Cave," and 

Minnesota Opera’s New Music-Theater 

Ensemble. Grants for workshops and to artistproducers encourage new work outside of the 

normal structure and methods of producing 

organizations. 

Special Projects grants, such as the one to 

Performing Artservices, can serve as a model to 

the field in broadening audiences for the art 

forro. And Services to the Art grants, such as 

those to the American Center for Music Theater 

and OPERA America, serve the field by assisting 

training programs for emerging artists and 

supporting organizations that offer services of 

national or regional scope.

THEATER

PROGRAM FUNDS: $10,602,788 

The Theater Program assists professional artists, 

primarily through support for theater companies, and 

facilitates the career development of talented 

individuals. It also promotes professional theater 

training, innovative artistic projects, and services for 

the American not-for-profit theater community. 

In 1990, the Professional Theater Companies 

category once again represented the bulk of 

Program grants. Generally given to support a 

season of theatrical activity and performance, 

these grants recognized a company’s achieved 

performance standards, appropriate artists’ 

compensation, multi-cultural participation, 

dramaturgy consistent with the theater’s stated 

artistic goals, and other factors. Of the 215 grants 

awarded in the category this year, 21 were given 

to companies that had not been funded the 

previous year, including six organizations that 

had never received grants in this category, 

Theater companies also applied for 

support for special one-time projects that stretch 

their artistic and/or financial resources, and are 

not part of the theater’s usual season or ongoing 

activitieso Examples of the diverse kinds of 

activity that find support in this category are 

Seattle, Washington’s New City Theater’s project 

to commission and produce a new work by 

Maria Irene Fomes, and an audience education 

project by the Portland Stage Company in 

Portland, Maine. 

The Professional Theater Presenters 

category supported both theater festivals and 

tours of professional theater companies and solo 

theater artists. Many of these grants were made to 

major regional presenters, such as Westem Arts 

Federation, which received a grant to support 

these activities in the westem region. 

Independent presenters also received support, 

such as a grant to the North Carolina Black 

Repertory Company, to support the 1991 

National Black Theatre Festival. 

During 1990, organizations that support 

not-for-profit theaters with projects of national 

scope found support in the Services to the Field 

category. Grants were made to UNIMA-USA for 

the publication of A Propos, a puppetry joumal, 

and to Foundation for the Extension Development 

of the American Professional Theater, Inc. for the 

continuation of programs offering technical and 

managerial assistance to not-for-profit theaters. 

Emerging and developing artists are 

encouraged through the Professional Theater 

Training category, which supported nine training 

institutions during 1990, induding the University 

of Iowa’s Playwright’s program. 

Established individual artists were 

supported primarily through three fellowship 

categories. In the Distinguished Theater Artists 

category, awards recognized substantial 

contributions to the American theater by the 

field’s pre-eminent artists, such as Luis Valdez of 

San Juan Bautista, California, playwright and 

founder of El Teatro Campesino theater 

company. Grants in the other categories offered 

support to professional theater artists to facilitate 

individual growth, such as the grants to solo 

theater artist Paul Zaloom and to playwright 

Migdalia Cruz.

through the development of educational programs 

within schools and institutions. A major goal is to 

make arts part of basic education -- as central to the 

curriculum core in K-12 as is English, math, and 

science, 

Arts in education was furthered in 1990 through a 

combination of grant programs and Endowment 

leadership initiatives for a diverse set of 

constituencies, induding state arts agencies 

(SAAs), education agencies, artists, arts 

organizations, teachers, administrators, 

policymakers, parents, and arts education 

advocates, 

More than eighty percent of the Program’s 

funds were awarded in FY 1990 to the state arts 

agencies (SAAs) through two categories: State 

Arts in Education Grants (SAEG) and Arts in 

Schools Basic Education Grants (AISBEG). 

Through SAEG the agencies are encouraged to 

help the arts become a basic part of education, 

Artist residencies continue to serve asa key 

element, not only in direct work with students 

engaged in the making of art, but also with 

teachers. In the 1989-90 school year, 

approximately 10,000 artists reached more than 

3,316,000 students. Other components of these 

programs include teacher in-service programs 

and artist residency handbooks, conferences, and 

support for arts education planning, 

implementation and evaluation at the local level, 

For example, with SAEG support the California 

Arts Council assists arts education projects which 

are locally developed by the artist(s) and 

sponsoring organization. Three-to-11 month 

residencies are offered in schools, communities, 

and for artists serving special constituencies, 

The AISBEG grants encourage the state 

arts agencies to be catalysts for change. The 

SAAs bring resources together to examine the 

states’ arts education programs, and to develop 

action plans that meet the unique needs of each 

state. The agencies involve their state 

departments of education, local-level educators, 

arts organizations, and advocacy groups in 

planning and collaborating. For example, with 

its AISBEG implementation grant the Ohio Arts 

Council is publishing an arts education resource 

book and supporting regional workshops 

developed by local model site organizations. The 

Coundl has also established a dance education 

commission, and is sponsoring a series of dance 

education meetings to facilitate the development 

and distribution of a State-approved K-12 dance 

curriculum. As of this fourth year of the 

program, 40 AISBEG planning grants have been 

awarded, and 22 states have received multi-year 

implementation grants to carry our their plans. 

FY 1990 was the "year of the initiative" in 

the Special Projects category, which is open to a 

wide range of nonprofit arts or education 

organizations. Although regular grants to the 

field were not awarded this year, several 

leadership initiatives were undertaken to further 

the Program’s objectives. Several projects were 

researched for publications to be issued in 1991. 

State Profiles presents an overview of the 

activities, school requirements, and financial 

support for arts education in the 56 states and 

special jurisdictions. Another project supported 

the development of a case booklet that presents 

anecdotes showing that study of the arts and 

experience with them enhances general learning 

achievement. Support continued for the piloting 

and evaluation of the interdisciplinary arts 

curriculum in four high schools -- one inner city, 

one suburban, two rural. This was the second 

year of support for this planned, three-year 

project.

PROGRAM FUNDS: $2,812,988 

The Locals Program supports projects that increase 

and sustain local support for high quality arts 

programs. Itfosters expansion ofpublic supportfor 

the arts at the local level, and improves local arts 

agency planning and program processes, thus 

encouraging artistic development and growth 

throughout the nation, 

In 1990, Federal funds awarded through the 

Program’s Local Government Incentive Category 

(LGIC) totalled $2,125,000. These three-year 

grants to support the development of the arts 

within cities, counties, or multi-county regions 

are projected to generate up to $10.6 million -­

$7.7 million in new public dollars and $2.9 

million in private dollars. The Program awarded 

12 grants representing 11 states, 42 local arts 

agencies, and 523 communities. Nine of these 

grants were to local arts agencies and three to 

state arts agencies. Twenty-two of the local arts 

agencies receiving support through state-local 

grants are located in communities with 

populations under 50,000. 

The LGIC program supported projects that 

targeted multicultural arts groups and allowed 

for a city’s major professional groups to increase 

their multicultural programming. It provided for 

development of a cultural facilities master plan 

and assisted with development of arts education 

projects. A regrant program was established that 

focuses on improvement of institutional stability, 

encourages regional approaches to cultural 

development, and fosters collaborative ventures 

among arts agencies, 

In the Local Arts Agency Development 

Category (LAADC), the Program awarded 26 

grants -- 14 in Leadership Education and 

Services and 12 in Planning and Administrative 

Grants. The program continued to support 

development of national and regional services, 

such as the American Architectural Foundation 

project to plan and test a pilot program bringing 

together the American Institute of Architects, the 

National Assembly of Local Arts Agencies, the 

US Conference of Mayors, and the Intemational 

Downtown Association. This program addresses 

development projects on community-wide 

planning and urban design, community needs 

assessment, and the creation of successful local 

partnerships and coalitions. 

Planning and Administrative Grants to 

agencies such as The Lincoln Arts Council in 

Nebraska and the East End Arts and Humanities 

Council in Riverhead, New York provided 

support for development of community cultural 

planning efforts. 

Through all its categories, the Locals 

Program continued to promote increased and 

sustained public funding for the arts at the local 

level; encouraged increased involvement in the 

arts by city and county governments; encouraged 

local initiatives which would enhance quality and 

broaden audiences for the arts; strengthened the 

local arts agency asa mechanism for arts 

planning, financial support, and development; 

and encouraged joint planning for the arts by 

Federal, state, and local arts agencies, community 

leaders, public officials, arts organizations, and 

artists.

the state arts agencies and regional organizations, 

Basic State Grants help state arts agencies in all fifly

and opportunities that are identified in consultation 

with artists, arts organizations and audiences. State 

arts agencies playa major role in promoting access to 

the arts, expanding audiences, assisting artists, 

supporting cultural institutions, and promoting the 

arts in education, 

In the mid-seventies state arts agencies took the 

initiative to create regional organizations to 

administer support for programs best carried out 

on a multi-state basis. Regional Arts 

Programming Grants help these organizations 

provide technical assistance and support to 

presenters and arts groups, increase access to arts 

experiences through support of touring and 

presenting, and provide a range of regional 

services to meet the needs of individual artists, 

In FY 90 a portion of the funds reserved for 

grants to the state agencies and regional 

organizations were designated for collaborative 

initiatives to be developed jointly by these groups
