Oregon Cultural Trust looks to record grant-making
By STEVE FORRESTER
Capital Bureau
Nineteen months after the
blood-letting at the Oregon
Arts Commission and Oregon
Cultural Trust, new initiatives
are apparent, and the Trust an-
ticipates a record high in grant
making.
The OAC is a low-budget,
high-impact agency. The Trust
— created by statute in 2001
— was an offshoot of the Arts
Commission. No other state
has an arts and culture fund-
ing program like the Oregon
Cultural Trust, whose revenue
comes from tax credits and cus-
tom license plates

grants now will be made on a
two-year cycle, instead of ask-
ing an organization to apply
every year. The commission’s
membership has also become
noticeably more culturally and
racially diverse.
Governors are critical to the
direction of arts and culture in
state policy. John Kitzhaber
signed the statute creating the
Cultural Trust. Ted Kulono-
goski’s wife Mary Oberst, was
especially supportive of arts
and culture. Gov. Kate Brown
inherits Kitzhaber’s budget,
which makes no increase in
funding for the OAC. In a state-
ment to Oregon Capital Insider,
Brown reasserts her support
for arts and culture and her ap-
preciation for what they do for
the economy. Kendall Clawson
is Gov. Brown’s liaison to the
OAC and Cultural Trust.
During a period of budget
distress, the Cultural Trust be-
came target. Eight years after
creating the Trust, the Legis-
lature swept $1.8 million from
the Trust’s principal. That theft
still rankles state Sen. Betsy
Johnson who says: “Had I not
been a legislator, I would have
sued over violation of donative
intent.” Johnson adds: “We
have a moral obligation to give
it back to the Trust.”
Johnson said that bills in
the Legislature would give the
Trust “more administrative

The Trust’s corpus stands at
$25 million. ODOT has issued
124,757 Cultural Trust license
plates.
Giving to the trust has
grown by 4 percent over the
past few years (last year $4.3
million). As a result, the Trust
board will increase its giving by
4 percent over the $1.8 million
it gave last year.

Cannon Beach’s version of Hands Across the Sand took place April 19 in front of Haystack Rock, Day No. 9 of the
city’s Twelve Days of Earth Day celebration.
Hands Across the Sands of Cannon Beach
CANNON BEACH — In front of
Haystack Rock on April 19, North
Coast residents joined hands for
15 minutes of pro-ocean solidari-
ty during Cannon Beach’s “Hands
Across the Sand,” one of the city’s
Twelve Days of Earth Day events.
Their statement: to draw a line in
the sand, physically and metaphor-
ically, against offshore oil drilling,
deepwater drilling, offshore seismic
testing and other practices viewed
as environmentally unsafe.
Nothing of that nature has taken
place off of Cannon Beach’s shores,
and Cannon Beach-ers want to keep
it that way.
Hands Across the Sand — an in-
ternational observance where people
gather to support renewable energy
and energy independence — began
in 2010 after the BP Oil spill in the
Gulf of Mexico. Cannon Beach has
observed it for the last few years.
This month’s event was led by
Christen Allsop, owner of Cannon
Beach Yoga Arts, who instructed
the 12 participants on ujjayi breath-
ing.
Another Hands Across the Sand
in Cannon Beach is scheduled for
May 16, as part of the worldwide
Hands Across the Sand event.
