Area organizations receive
art commission grants
Crow’s Shadow Insti-
tute of the Arts, the city
of Milton-Freewater and
Fishtrap Inc. are among the
30 Oregon projects awarded
$190,000 in 2016 Arts Build
Communities grants from the
Oregon Arts Commission.
The three Eastern Oregon
organi]ations each received
$7,000.
&row’s Shadow, located in
Mission, will use its grant to
support printmaking education
for art students at the Nixy-
aawii &ommunity School.
Grant funds will be used to
underwrite studio space, tech-
nical assistance, art and exhibi-
tion materials, advertising and
public receptions. As many
as 14 students will produce
limited-edition linocut prints
and exhibit their work in the
&row’s Shadow gallery.
The money Milton-Free-
water received will help
support Talk Play Dream:
Hablar Jugar So’ar, a series of
community events designed
to bring populations together
to create and experience art
and dream together about
the town’s future. Art events
include creative workshops,
pop-up galleries and new
performances by locals and
visiting artists. The money
will be used to pay artists and
cover overhead expenses for
the events.
Fishtrap, in Enterprise, will
use its grant award to support
“The Big Read” in Wallowa
&ounty. More than 1,700
people of all ages from across
the county will read Thorton
Wilder’s play “Our Town”
and novella “The Bridge of
San Louis Rey.” It encourages
residents to engage in activ-
ities that ¿ght rural isolation,
deepen the reading experience
and create community. Grant
funds will be used to purchase
books, pay program staff sala-
ries and promote the program
across the county.
In its 20th year, the Arts
Build &ommunities program
targets broad geographic
impact and arts access for
underserved audiences. More
than half of the 2016 awards
were awarded to communities
outside of the Portland area.
The
Main
Street
Cowboys held its election
dinner Nov. 20, 2015,
featuring steak and chicken
with many side dishes and
numerous pies and cakes
for dessert.
Officers
elected included
John Roberts,
president Bill
Arrington, ¿rst
vice president
and
Chuck
Coonfield ,
second
vice
president.
Two-year board Roberts
positions were
¿lled by Rod
Theis and Bill Zyph, and
one-year board members
elected were Don Harsch,
Paul Gadaire, Larry
Koehne, Alan Berck, Matt
Combe and Kirt Skinner.
The Larry Wahl Memo-
rial Trophy was presented
to Rob Harsh MS& secre-
tary) in honor of all the extra
work he has done in the past
year.
“This program provides
access to arts and culture
activity
in
underserved
populations of the state,”
said Arts &ommissioner
Alyssa Macy. “Local citi]ens
employ creative thinking and
collective response to identify
a local need and provide an
arts-based solution.”
In many cases, the awards
are seed money to spur addi-
tional local funding. In recent
years Arts Build &ommunities
projects attracted more than
$570,000 in spending, much
of it representing salaries
paid to artists and others, as
well as products and services
purchased in the funded
communities.
Arts Build &ommunities
grants are made possible
through a funding partnership
with the National Endowment
for the Arts.
