Welcome to the Arts Council of Hillsborough County Blog!
Visit: http://ArtsCouncilOfHillsboroughCounty.blogspot.com
It will be a beautiful afternoon tomorrow to stop in at the Inside the Creative Studio open house at Community Stepping Stones. They'll be showcasing their upcoming series of adult art and creativity classes on Sunday, Jan. 15, 2 - 4 pm. Stepping Stones is located in a beautifully revitalized park on the Hillsborough River in old Sulphur Springs.
Stepping Stones is a long-established community program serving at-risk youth but recently opened studio space and time for a wide range of adult classes from some of the Tampa's most experienced artists. Class fees will help support the CSS program for at-risk youth. It's a great program helping youth in Sulphur Springs see a brighter future. Plus, it gets high humanity points for its many volunteers who believe in what they can accomplish!
Check out the Creative Studio Open House at 1101 E. River Cove. Meet their art instructors, sign up for classes and tour the studios or relax on the river.

As of Jan. 1, 2011 more than 3000 arts-related businesses provided 12,362 jobs within Hillsborough County according to the 2011 Creative Industries Report from Americans for the Arts. Enlarging that view to the Tampa Bay region defined by Enterprise Florida (Pinellas, Hillsborough, Sarasota, Polk, Pasco, Manatee, Hernando and Citrus counties) reveals more than 10,000 arts-related businesses that created 38,657 jobs. It's those statistics that put Tampa Bay in the #2 spot behind the 7-county southeast region which principally includes Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Americans for the Arts points out these numbers should be considered very conservative because they were taken solely from Dun and Bradstreet registered businesses and do not reflect the many artists and not-for-profit arts organizations who often never register with D&B. The actual numbers are higher but harder to track.
Why do statistics about jobs matter? Because more and more funding sources are looking at the economic contribution of the arts, like those numbers above. Increasingly, a traditional business model is being applied during evaluations and reviews to judge the value of the arts. That's part of the reason Americans for the Arts conducted the 2011 Creative Industries Report - to point out the economic contributions being made by the arts. When you're writing grants or looking for funding, include your economic impact statistics when appropriate.

USF's Contemporary Art Museum announced they are hosting an artist talk in conjunction with the opening of their show, Mark Dion: Troubleshooting.
Mark Dion is an internationally acclaimed, contemporary installation artist whose work, as described by USF, addresses the gulf between popular perception and scientific inquiry. In the PBS documentary series Art 21 his work was described: "[It] examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history, knowledge, and the natural world. 'The job of the artist,” [Dion] says, 'is to go against the grain of dominant culture, to challenge perception and convention.' "
The Conversation with the Artist event promises to be a fascinating discussion among the artist and curators Rene Morales and Jane Simon. Rene Morales is a curator at Miami Art Museum was involved with Dion's large-scale South Florida Wildlife Rescue Unit installation last year. Jane Simon is the curator at USF Contemporary Art Museum. The opening reception for the Dion show follows the artist talk.
Mark Dion's work has been shown at the Museum of Modern Art, NY; the Tate Gallery, London; the Israel Museum, Jerusalem among others; and is collected world-wide. USF's Contemporary Art Museum is a 2012 Arts Council of Hillsborough County Cultural Development Grant recipient.

TECO Public Art Gallery presents an evening with Professor Emeritus Jeffrey Kronsnoble Thursday, January 12 at 4:30-7:30 pm for an artist talk, tour and reception for his solo exhibition ‘Just Good Art’ which runs through January 31. Many in the Bay area are past students of Jeffrey Kronsnoble, who was well-respected during his nearly four-decade long teaching career at USF.
According to Curator Debra Radke, "Jeffrey’s virtuosity as a draftsman, his superb color sensibility, the high impact realism and amazingly sensuous painted surfaces make each of the 18 paintings in this exhibition worth the visit to appreciate, explore and enjoy; whether your preference is for real or abstract, calm or chaotic or somewhere, like life, in between. Kronsnoble has spent years in deliberate practice perfecting his collage technique of combining historical references from the renaissance and elements from the natural world with contemporary figures ..."
The Kronsnoble show runs now through Jan. 31. This artist talk and reception is free and open to the public.
The TECO Public Art Gallery is located at 702 North Franklin St., Tampa, FL 33602..
It is open Monday-Friday from 8 am - 5 pm. For information about this event or future exhibitions, please call Debra at 813.767.1600 or dradke1@tampabay.rr.com.
BACKGROUND FROM ARTDAILY: Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Jeffrey Kronsnoble earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin, and his MFA from the University of Michigan. Following graduate school, Kronsnoble joined the art department faculty at the University of South Florida in 1963.
Kronsnoble’s work has been featured in one-man shows in galleries in New York, Milwaukee, New Orleans, La Jolla, and throughout Florida, as well as in group shows at the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Detroit Institute of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, D.C., The National Academy of Design in New York City, and The Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio.
His work is represented in the permanent collections of art museums in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Daytona Beach, and Jacksonville, Florida and New Orleans, Louisiana, as well as in more than 175 public, corporate, and private collections.

Good news for professional performing artists: a new multi-year award program from top-tier grantmaker, Creative Capital. This is a multi-year commitment for professionals only. If you are pursuing a serious arts career, you should become familiar with awards programs of this type. Eligibility and requirements are stringent but awards are generous and not only fund projects but concurrently help artists to build their capacity to sustain their careers. Creative Capital offers many such awards programs in rotating cycles to professionals in various disciplines. See http://creative-capital.org.
HIGHLIGHTS OF CREATIVE CAPITAL'S NEW PROGRAM, the Doris Duke Performing Artist Awards, in partnership with the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation:
The Performing Artist Awards, in two categories, supports individual artists in contemporary dance, theater and jazz for extended professional and artistic development. The program is designed to empower, invest in and celebrate notable performing artists, allowing for long-term exploration and research needs unmet by traditional project support. Artists With Prior Support: Awards will support 100 leading artists with grants of $225,000 of unrestricted funding over a period of three to five years. Not open to application. To be considered by the peer review panel for a Doris Duke Leading Artist Award, artists must have received national support for at least three different projects over a ten-year period, with at least one project having received support from DDCF-funded creation or commissioning programs. Creative Capital and Multi-Arts Production Fund grants count toward an artist’s potential eligibility. Artists Without Prior Support: An additional 100 awards will be given to artists who have demonstrated the potential to influence their respective fields but have not yet received significant national support. These artists will receive $60,000 in unrestricted funding over a period of two to three years, plus an additional $10,000 for audience development and $10,000 on an incentive-matching basis for retirement savings. This award is also not open to application; artists will be nominated by an anonymous group of peer artists and need not have received prior DDCF funding. The Performing Artist Awards are part of a larger initiative, the Doris Duke Performing Artists Initiative, a new ten-year, $50 million program.

New Year's Wish..

In our previous three grant years, the Arts Council has given more than $1 million to Hillsborough cultural organizations. More than 98% of that has been used to create jobs. Now, however, our programs that ensure a fair and balanced distribution of funds to the arts are struggling to maintain services.
$88 THOUSAND LOSS IN FUNDING Your support is particularly important when we receive fewer dollars from the government sources we've traditionally depended upon. Again this year the Arts Council's budget was reduced by the County Commissioners. This resulted in a 41% decrease, a loss of more than $88 thousand to arts organizations through our cultural development grant program and a re-examination of our other services.
100% FUNDING FOR ARTISTS AND ARTS GROUPS For the first time, we're asking for your help to maintain our grant programs to artists and arts organizations. Please donate to Hillsborough Arts, our 501(c)(3) organization, where you can be sure 100% of your donation goes to grant programs of the Arts Council and NO funds are used for administrative costs. Our local arts groups and artists depend on grants to keep their work going.
WE NEED YOUR HELP Please consider a one-time or recurring donation to the arts in Hillsborough County. No donation is too small and all donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Your donation ensures Arts Council funds remain available for local organizations and artists. GIVE NOW.

Funding for the grants is allocated by the Hillsborough Board of County Commissioners and administered by the Arts Council of Hillsborough County. In the last three years, the Arts Council has given more than $1 million to Hillsborough cultural organizations. Over 98% of those funds has gone to jobs. While the availability of funds nationally and locally has been declining, we appreciate your support for the arts. Be sure to voice your opinions to your government officials. Let them know funding the arts makes sense culturally and economically.
You can also support the grant programs of the Arts Council through donations and by purchasing a Florida State of the Arts license plate:
- Go to www.HillsboroughArts.org and click the donate button on the left side of the page. Hillsborough Arts, Inc. is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit corporation working with the Arts Council of Hillsborough County. All donations received will fund grants that directly support our local arts and culture community. Donations to Hillsborough Arts, Inc. are deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
- Show your support for the arts on your vehicle's license plate. When renewing your vehicle registration, opt for the Florida State of the Arts specialty tag. When purchased in Hillsborough County, there is an additional $20 annual use fee for the tag. That money returns to the Arts Council and is used to support our grant programs. (Please note the County's usual renewal and processing fees apply.)

On October 04, 2012, President Barack Obama declared October as National Arts and Humanities Month and stated this about the arts:
“Like Rockwell’s painting, art in all its forms often challenges us to consider new perspectives and to rethink how we see the world. This image still moves us with its simple poignancy, capturing a moment in American history that changed us forever. This is the power of the arts and humanities — they speak to our condition and affirm our desire for something more and something better. Great works of literature, theater, dance, fine art, and music reach us through a universal language that unites us regardless of background, gender, race, or creed.”
To learn more about the national month long celebration, visit the Americans for the Arts website by clicking here.
To view the many ways you can celebrate the arts this month locally, check the Arts Tampa Bay website at http://www.artstampabay.com/ for performance and visual arts event listings around Tampa Bay.
