ITEM TITLE: CVAG 2020 Plan
I Ivi I 41111YAW1
As deemed appropriate by the Commission.
FISCAL IMPAC :
None.
KGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The Commission, at the January 22 nd meeting, agreed to place this matter on the
February agenda for discussion.
The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) adopted an advanced
strategic planning document called "Project 2020" (the "Plan"). CVAG is a regional
organization representing local government agencies in the Coachella Valley that
primarily focuses on transportation issues. CVAG received grant monies from a large
umbrella group known as the Southern California Association of Governments,
commonly referred to as SCAG for the purpose of developing the d Plan. Each
Commissioner was provided with a copy of the Plan at the January 22" Commission
meeting. Commissioners may wish to bring a copy of the Plan to the February 26 th
meeting for further discussion.
As adopted, "Project 2020" does not directly address cultural issues; however, there
are brief statements concerning quality of life. Questions have been raised regarding
the omission of culture/arts from the Plan as at least one Commissioner felt that there
were discussions during the time of preparation of the Plan to include culture/arts in
the Plan. Staff contacted Mr. Michael Bracken, the Director of Human & Community
Resources for CVAG, who indicated that he is not aware of any proposal that would
have included arts/culture in the Plan. He did offer that stakeholders in the art/culture
community may have been invited to some of the public meetings during the
preparation/scoping of the Plan. Mr. Bracken also indicated that there are no current
plans to update the Plan (it was adopted in October 1997); however, if a funding
source is identified, it is a possibility that it could be updated in the future. As a
member city of CVAG, the City of La Quinta would be notified according to Mr.
Bracken of any future developments regarding "Project 2020".
This space on the agenda has been reserved for the Commission to discuss CVAG's
"Project 2020".

CULTURALPLAN
for
The City of La Quinta,
Prepared by
TIHE CULTURAL COMNUSSION
Ae Mission of the Cultural Commission is to encourage culture and the arts in La Quinta.
INTRODUCTION
La Quinta is a young city centrally located in the Coachella Valley. People come ftorn all over the
country to participate in the arts and amenities offered here. La Quinta is in a position to take a
leadership role and become an exemplary city for culture.
A strong cultural base is a necessary component of an investment in the enrichment and well-
being of a community. It is a critical ingredient in building a rounded socio-econornic
environment. The arts are not to be reserved for prosperous times, but rather are a continuous
necessity going beyond what is commonly characterized as "enhancing the quality of life" in a
community. For example:
The development of culture has a positive economic impact on a community by creating
employment opportunities, attracting and retaining business, providing new and increased
expenditures to local businesses patronized by attendees of nearby arts and other cultural
events.
The arts play a vital role in successfully addressing societal problems by providing shared
cultural experiences for families and communities, reducing school dropout rates, teaching
respect and appreciation for cultural differences, building self-esteem, developing creative
outlets to channel energy, and building community pride and identity.
-I-
FINAL DRAFT - February 26, 1998
Within the context of this plan, "culture" is meant to be totally inclusive of all forms of human
expression in the visual, performing, applied and literary arts, whether classical or modem, formal
or informal. Further, culture exhibits an acquaintance with and an appreciation for the visual and
performing arts and humanities, and embraces the history, customs, tastes, manners, ideas and
skills of our diverse community. The community consists of everyone who lives or works in the
City of La Quinta.
La Quinta has a strong cultural identity, particularly with the arts. The vigor and zest of its
cultural offerings touch and enrich the lives of citizens and visitors, and act as a stimulus to civic
pride and involvement. The La Quinta Arts Foundation, with its docent and outreach program and
its Annual Festival, which began in 1982, has helped develop a cultural face to the community.
Programs and activities which have developed over the years blend the socio-econon& and
diverse community elements together.
In our City the opportunities and locations for cultural experiences abound throughout the
year —from walking through theFrances Hack Park at the annual La Quinta Arts Festival in
March to visiting the La Quinta Arts Association's newly -opened gallery at the La Quinta Plaza,
but in need of a permanent home; from listening to Community Concerts Association productions
to hearing guest writers speak about their latest works at a Round Table West meeting at La
Quinta Resort & Club; from touring the La Quinta I-Estorical Society's Museum to enjoying an
outdoor tour through the sculpture park at the La Quinta Open -Air Museum; from dramatic and
musical school productions throughout the year to Friday night concerts and sales at the
downtown Mainstreet Marketplace; from the strong Art -In -Public Places program to the annual
Mariachi Festival. As more and more people are drawn into the City by these events each year,
the economic and cultural impact encourages new businesses and residents to come into the City.
La Quinta is a rapidly growing city, and now must come an, equal growth in civic beauty and the
development of La Quinta as a center of cultural values essential to complete citizenship. The
creation of a visionary plan for the cultural and artistic development of the community is
important. A strong cultural plan has a positive impact on the economy, community, and families,
and takes into account the visual and performing arts, the role of artists in the community, urban
design, public celebration, cultural diversity, arts education, public art, community building and
economic development, architecture, landscape design, and more.
A community cultural plan may well become the blueprint for building "livability" into an area. It
can mesh with all other community plans to show how culture plays an integral role in shaping the
community's look, feel, spirit and design and allows a community to define those aspects of
cultural development that are most appropriate and essential to its own way of life and future
growth.
A strategic cultural plan provides the focus and direction to increase opportunities for artists and
to raise existing activities and organizations to a new level of development and service to the
community. Formulating a plan with community input focuses on future actions of the entire
community as they affect cultural functions. Most important, however, is a cultural plan which
-2-
FINAL DRAFT - February 26, 1998
establishes a vision of a desired fiiture and establishes roles, steps, time lines and methods for
achieving that vision. Everyone benefits from a common framework of priorities within which to
place their own organizational goals.
The Cultural Commission is pleased to be the facilitator in designing the first such Cultural Plan
for the City of La Quinta. It is to be a "living" document, evolving with changes in La Qui. nta I 's
cultural and artistic life.
METHOD AND PURPOSE
Through the medium of community workshops, conferences, surveys and interviews, dozens of
residents, both in La Quinta and from throughout the Coachella Valley (Appendix II), participated
and provided the information which appears in this Cultural Plan. In cooperation with City staff,
the Cultural Commission compiled the information received and set forth the goals and objectives
addressing the needs and observations that were brought forward.
This Plan is a visionary set of guidelines to give direction to future cultural and artistic
development in the community and indicates that La Quinta is committed to a culturally rich city
which encourages the arts. It represents a cultural element of the City's overall plan and will
evolve with the growth of the City. It defines guideposts, pathways, opportuni ' ties for expansion
and support and nurturing of the cultural foundation of the community. It will provide direction
for the community organizations as they set their goals and develop programs and services to
meet the needs of their constituents and the community.

YOUTH ARTS AND ARTS EDUCATION
Recent studies by Shaw and Rauscher at the University of California at Irvine verify the value of
arts education as it relates to academic learning. Students who study the arts, and particularly
music, score an average of at least one grade point higher overall than those students who have no
arts education. Discipline problems have virtually disappeared in schools where -students have
been immersed in the arts. The arts give a student a sense of self-worth improving their self-
image and developing self-discipline; they increase their ability to solve -problems, to think
logically, to develop insight, and to work cooperatively; in general, to have a well-balanced
education.
Goal 6. Build A Stron, Intejzrated Arts Education Prosuam in the Schools and Communit
6.1. Encourage the development of cultural programs, instruction, classes, and residencies for
children, teens and special audiences who would not otherwise have access to these
opportunities.

youth.
6.1.3 Encourage the continuation and enlargement of docent programs in the schools,
and involve local artists in school programs.
6.2 Advocate for a program of sequential arts education taught by qualified arts teachers to
enhance the basic curriculum with arts experiences.
The arts stimulate creative discovery and self-expression, develop craftsmanship, establish
communication across cultures, and document history. Students who study the arts are better
prepared for college; they have learned discipline, to think critically, attained excellence, have high
standards, and score 30% higher than the average student in academic skills. After four years of
arts study they score 53 points higher on verbal skills and 37 points higher on math skills on
SAT's according to studies completed in 1996.
6.3 Encourage the development of a school for the arts.
6.3.1 Classes could include children's theater, community theater, dance, and music and
visual arts instruction.
M

Goal 7. Develop Venues and Programs for Youth and Teens
Building unity in a community means fin'ding programs that bring all ages and ethnic groups
together. Band concerts and street fairs'are types of programs that cut across all generations.

COMMUNICATIONS AND PROMOTION
Duplication of efforts and programs is costly, therefore it is important that in a community the
size of La Quinta resources of organizations, personnel, expertise and information is shared and
made available to one another. Some effort in this direction has been made, but more can be
accomplished when needs are made known and a plan is in place to promote and communicate
programs and services between organizations and the community. To this end, methods of
communication and networking need to be established.
Goal 8. Promote Communication and Cooperation Among City-wide Cultural Organizations
8.1 Identify needs and mutual areas of interest and activities, thereby preventing duplication of
services.
8.2 Utilize an officially designated private arts organization or public commission, such as the
Cultural or 11istoric Commissions, to coordinate, monitor, or create cultural planning

initiatives and to develop and maintain a coordinated community calendar of arts events
and activities which will serve as a clearinghouse for information and schedules of events f
or the community's organizations.

FINAL DRAFT -February 26, 1998
ARTS FACILITEES
Research has determined there is a need for appropriate facilities for the performing and visual
arts. In order for La Quinta to develop into a thriving and vital city, it is important to have
gathering places for all citizens, such as a performing arts theater or cultural center. In coming
to I gether in common interests, all cultural, socio-economic and ethnic barriers, are broken down,
creating a common international language for everyone.
Goal 10. Encourage the Development of a Cultural Facility
Knowing that the citizens would like a community gathering place, a performing or cultural arts
center could be the ideal venue to combine many aspects of community life in one central area. It
could contain gallery space, outdoor patios courting book stores, music store, coffee house and
small restaurant, gift and artisan shops, conversation comers next to fountains, exemplary flower
gardens and benches, sculptures, and other shops compatible with the arts along with places for
mini -outdoor concerts or exhibits. The building and grounds could feature landmark architecture.
The center would give La Quinta a strong, expanded cultural identity that would translate into
positive economic growth, cultural tourism and a public relations tool. It would offer
professional theater, dance, music concerts, as well as community theater and serve as a venue for
community events.
10.1 Encourage the design and development of a central meeting place for artists and the
public, such as in "The Village" area.
10.2 Identify and encourage the renovation or building of cultural facilities, such as a
perforniing arts center which would provide space for rehearsals, performances,
exhibitions, administration, classes, and artists' studios.
10.2.1 Develop an education component whereby videos could be produced for use in the
local schools as well as other outlets, thereby creating a source of income.
10.2.2 A school for the arts could become part of the facility. (See 6.3)
10.2.3 An adequate multi -purpose facility could include a community room for
organizations to hold meetings, forums or workshops, and it could include exhibits
of artwork as well as a community learning center.
10-3 Promote the enhancement of the public library and its services and technology.
-13-
FINAL DRAFT - February 26, 1998
10.3.1 Promote book sales, story telling hours for children, and possibly a mobile unit to
extend into all areas within the City borders.
10.4 Incorporate movie theaters in City development.
LEADERSHIP, TRAINING AND COOPERATION
Without the infusion of new knowledgeable people to work in the arts, current programs may not
continue or may not grow effectively. It is vital that people in the community be identified who
have an interest in and knowledge of the arts and their value to the City, and that they be
encouraged to get involved in organizations, commissions, schools, businesses and City
government.
Goal 11. Identify, Nurture and Train New Cultural and Arts Leadership
11.1 Support the development of a volunteer pool from a broad cross-section of the
community.
11. 1. 1 Consider creating a chapter of Business Volunteers for the Arts.
11. 1.2 Utilize the Senior Center and the La Quinta Arts Foundation as resources for
talent, expertise, and mentoring.
11. 1. 3 Address board development for nonprofit cultural organizations and find ways to
help identify potential board members.
11.2 Encourage existing cultural leaders to identify potential new arts leaders and recruit
mentors to serve on boards of cultural organizations.
11.2.1 Encourage the expansion of organizational planning, marketing, and funding.
ALL-INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY CULTURE
There are many areas in which the entire community is involved. Major community -wide arts and
other cultural events meet a particular need in uniting all segments and unifying the City.
Attention must be given to programs and community development to let this happen.

workshops and planning.
13. 1.1 Cooperate with the County of Riverside Arts Foundation in developing
cooperation and support for the arts among the cities.

SUNB4ARY
This Plan is the culmination of ideas and input from many people. It is expected that it will
generate a level of cultural excitement and wealth not seen before. This Plan can become the
blueprint for the future development and growth of the cultural life of La Quinta and will inspire
all community groups to provide valuable service to the community.
The next step is to establish priorities and determine ways to implement it. A plan is just a plan
until people bring it to life with their actions. This Plan is a living document and many more
people will add creative ideas to it to enable present and future populations to create a unique
place for total enjoyment. It may seem ambitious, but if one doesn't dream, nothing new is
created. This Plan will be enacted when the City Council approves it. Activation of the Plan will
generate community involvement, cooperation and coordination in short- and long-term planning
for cultural development. Priorities will be established, time lines determined, and implementers
identified. The Cultural Commission will act as a guide and resource to the community

Boards of Directors as the area in which they most need technical
assistance.
From recruitment and retention of working board members to the
fundraising arena -- nonprofit arts groups Want help improving their
board. One area which was particularly troublesome last year —
resulting in the acrimonious departure of four Executive Directors --
was the relationship between the board and the director. few EDs
have contracts with their boards delineating rights and
responsibilities on each side. Boards often confuse oversighL and

Project Description:
micro management. Board members infrequently have any
opportunity to network with board members from other
organizations. Smaller, rural agencies are more isolated and
operate without context. The Pre -Conference will be a full day
series of intensive works -hops presented in conjuction with the
National Center for Nonprofit Boards.
While CALAM Campaign to Increase State F'unding (launched
at last year's Convocation in San Jose) resulted in introduction of
SB 1373 (Schiff), calling for increasing state support to the arts to
not less than one dollar per capita, and which is gaining increasing
morrienturn (18 co�-authors thus far), tight budgets, particularly of
smaller organizations, coriabined with increased travel costs, prohibit
many from attending this important gathering to learn from members,
of the legislature itself how the delegates can affect legislation. The
effort to pass the Schiff Bill is but one manifestation of the CALAA
drive to support local arts agencies building long-term, on -going
coalitions within their communities.
Thus far the doors to the business community have been difficult
to open for the nonprofit arts community. One of CALA A's most
important on -going Special Initiatives is aimed at opening those
doors by encouraging and facilitating collaboration and partnerships
with a "win -win" component between industry and the arts. One of
the Plenary Sessions at this Convocation will be, a multi -media
presentation created by long time. corporate arts supporter Biuney &
Smith -- specifically designed to focus on how local arts groups
can engage businesses in their communities to become involved in
arts programs.
This year's workshops address various ways the arts can partner
within theii communities -- in the economic, educational and social
problems arenas -- and extend their reach by working with other
constituencies.
We would like as many arts groups as is possible to avail
themselves of the Pre -Conference and the Convocation sessions,
particularly the unique opportunity to -meet the new NEA Chair.
This conference proposes to address the needs of the, field as
follows:
1. Improve local arts agency administrators'understanding of the
political process and enhanc� the level of their skills to advocate on
behalf of the arts in general by increasing their ability to work with
locally based coalitions.
2. Enhance the local art agencies' ability to build working
partnerships with local business interests by empowering them with
the skills to identify areas where the arts and business have mutual
interests, craft "win -win" partncrships based on those common
interests, and structure on -going communication so as to open the
door for cooperation.

3. Increase the involvement of local Convention & Visitor's
Bureaus with local arts groups to promote increased cooperation
in marketing cultural tourism. A Roundtable Forum discussion
with Q & A will build on CALAA's participation with CALTIA,
local CV8s and the Califomia Cultural Tourism Initiative, partnering
the San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco arts comaussions
with city CVBs in a major marketing effort in cooperation with
American Express, Hyatt Hotels and funded, in part, by the NEA.
4. Empower arts agencies with skills to increase the visibility, and
the positive impact the arts have across community lines, by
imparting techniques to gain media attention, even for those on a
shoestring budget,
5. Provide no-nonsense, nuts & bolts mini -clinics on Data
Collection, Cyberspace 101 and an overview on the work
of the California Fairs and Arts Working Group.
6. Provide the opportunity for interest based forurns, (i-e,, rural
based agencies; city based arts agencies-, Latino, art� administrators)
to discuss issues and concerns (e.g., the problems faced by wornen
arts adminismtors, lack of revenue streams).
Luncheon: The highlight of the conference will be the Saturday luncheon at
which CALAA will have the honor and privilege to present NEA
Chair nominee William Ivey to the California arts Community in his
first, and only California appearance for some time. Mr. Ivey will
deliver a Keynote Address on the future, of the NEA and California
Arts in the, 2 1 st Century. Guests will have the opportunity to meet
Mr. Ivey, NEA Champion, California Senator Barbara Boxer has
been invited to introduce Mr. Ivey.
Mr- Ivey will be presented to Corporate and Foundation Sponsors
and distinguished elected officials at a private reception precceding
the Luncheon.
We hope to be able to subsidize travel / lodging expenses so that all
members, irrespective of their geographic location and budget size,
can have the opportunity to welcome and hear Mr. Ivey. We do not
want Mr. Ivey's initial welcome to California to be exclusively by
those who are financially well-heeled.
Evening Event: Delegates will have the opportunity for an after-hours, private tour
of the new Getty Museum. Smaller arts groups, particularly those
from central and northern California, will have their first, and for
many, only, opportunity to visit this new world landmark
institution.
Materials: In addition to hand-out materials for eachsession, Convocation
delegates will receive resource materials on local tourism statistics,
federal and state sources of inter -agency program funding, and a
compendium of studies, articles and press clippings citing the,
positive effect of the ails across communities.
Arts Community CALAA will make space available to other nonprofit arts groups

APP12-1-97
Art in Public Places Commission Minutes
December 1, 1997
Cultural Commission Chairperson Katherine Hull and Cultural
Commissioner John Dethe gave a presentation on the Cultural Plan and asked
for comments.
2. Commissioner Shamis noted that community staff was needed to make the
plan work. She noted the impact that had been made on her students by
integrating music into their education. She suggested that something be
included in the document that more specifically talks about the outreach
program, scholarship program, art teach, adult education program.
3. Commissioners commended the Commission on the work involved to
produce the document.
4. Commissioner Klein suggested that adult education be expanded. Also, that
the community be identified to be more than just La Quinta, but the entire
Coachella Valley. Ms. Hull stated that'is the belief of the Commission, but
in the Plan it was determined that they could only address La Quinta.
5. Commissioner Shamis suggested that the business conummity be involved
as they benefit from the arts as well.
6. Commissioner Chappie expressed her concern that the document be
implemented and not sit on a shelf and asked what the next step would be to
see that the plan is put to use. Ms. Hull stated it was their role to get the
different groups to address some of the areas and have the Commission act
more as a coordinator of the Plan.
7. Chairman Walling thanked Ms. Hull and Mr. Dethe for their presentation.
A. Discussion with Ray LoRez regarding the landscaping of the Bear Creek BikeI2
Mr. Lopez gave a history and update on the Bear Creek Channel Bikepath
landscaping.

3. Commissioner Shamis asked if there could be benches or seating of some
nature installed on the path. Mr. Lopez stated they had discussed different
types of attractive seating ideas. They had included water fountains as well,
but funding prevented its inclusion. He stated the area at the southern most
part of the Bikepath lends itself to being a park. It does however have
problems with access and parking. The northern end would also be an area
of high visibility for a freestanding art piece.
4. Commissioner Chappie asked if the Bikepath had been planned to continue
on around La Quinta. Staff stated it had originally been discussed, but
funding was not available.
5. Chairman Walling asked if it was possible to have the plans for the Bikepath
showing the proposed rest stops, etc., and prepare a Request for Proposals to
see what ideas could be generated. Commissioners agreed this could produce
some good ideas. Chairman Walling asked that Mr. Lopez be present to
review the proposals.
6. Community Development Director Jerry Herman reminded the Commission
that an art piece jointly planned with the La Quinta Arts Foundation was
planned for the southern end of the Bikepath. They are to make a
presentation to the Commission by July, 1998. Staff reminded the
Commission that the original plan with the Foundation was to complete this
art piece as part of their summer youth program, and then continue the youth
program and do additional art pieces as rest stops.
7. Mr. Lopez noted that placards are needed to identify the plants and the design
of the Bikepath.
8. Chairman Walling thanked Mr. Lopez for his presentation and taking the time
to speak with them.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Cultural Commission
FROM: Mark Weiss, Assistant City Manager M�
DATE: February 26, 1998
RE: City Council Action on Proposal to combine Cultural, Human Services,
and Parks & Recreation Commissions into a "Community Services
Commission"
As the Commission knows, the Council has been studying the concept of combining
several commissions by creating a new "Community Services Commission", as well
as reducing the number of commissioners on City Commissions and Boards from
seven (7) to five (5).
th
On February 17 , the Council considered an ordinance to combine the Cultural,
Human Services, and Park & Recreation Commission into a new Community Services
Commission. The Council decided to continue the matter to the March 17 th City
Council meeting and asked staff to schedule meetings with the commissions/boards
to discuss the status of commissions/boards. At this writing, no further details are
available; however, it is anticipated that the City Clerk's Office will be arranging these
meetings with the Council.

Ms. Kathryn B. Hull, Chairperson
I -a Quinta Cultural Commission
78-495 Calle Tampico
La Quinta, CA 92253
Dear Kathryn,
The Coachella Valley Cultural Commission appreciates the presentation made by Patrick Welch
at our recent meeting in regard to the draft of the Cultural Plan. Everyone was most impressed
with the scope of the document and with the substantial amount of work which is involved in
framing such a plan.
I convened a sub -committee to outline the major points which relate to our Association and our
perceived needs in the community. I summodze them below, using the numeration of the
Cultural Plan itseK for your consideration:
Goal 1. Identify Arts and Cultural Community: We believe an annual survey of the cultural
organizations in 1A Quinta would yield very useful information: what groups have sprung up in
the past year, who the contact persons are, what projects are underway, and what new resources
or needs might be noted which would impact the community at large. This could be spearheaded
by your commission in written survey form and summarized for use by the organizations, local
businesses, City Council, other commissions, etc.
In addition, we feel the "artists' bank" is an extremely powerfid concept, perhaps beginning with
the data compiled form the above survey, but enlarged to include individual performers,
available artists, and speakers on cultural or historical themes. This data could in turn be placed
on the City's web page for retrieval by individuals anywhere. Schools and organizations could
use this as a resource which promotes the dissemination of information and the exposure to
artists, both performing and visual.
Goal 5. Municipal Support for Cultural Development: La Quinta has been noted for its focus
on the arts, since its inception. There has always been strong municipal support coming from
stalT commissions and City Council. We fervently hope that this support will be maintained. La
Quinta's cultural development is crucial for its economic development, its image and its
inhabitants.
Goal 6. Build a Strong Integrated Arts Education in the Schools and Community: While we
certainly encourage efforts to support arts education, we acknowledge that the schools in
California have a sequential arts curriculum framework to which staff must adhere. We don't
A NON-PROFITCULTURAL ORGANIZATION
see anything but a supplementary role for the City or any other organization in this regard. We
all wish to augment this curriculum, but not replace it nor "advocate for a program of sequential
arts education ...... There is certainly a role for us in regard to adults, however, since there is not
a prescribed curriculum for adults.
Goal 7. Develop Venues and Programs for Youth and Teens: We feel strongly that our
community needs to promote opportunities for youth. These include facilitating performers and
artists, including audiences for cultural activities such as dance, drama, instrumental performers
and visual artists. Although several organizations- already do this, including QVCCA, there is a
need for much, much more. . For example, La Quinta currently has no organized children's
theatre, choral or instrumental groups outside the school system.- Thisis a serious void.
Goal 8. Promote Communications and Cooperation among City-wide Cultural
Organizations: This concept is quite exciting to us, and would meet a great need in the
community. We would support a La Quinta "non-profit roundtable" which meets quarterly and
would allow for all organiza ions to brainstorm, trouble -shoot and identify activities for which
there would be cooperative opportunities and planning. The C%dtural Commission would be an
ideal sponsonng agency, fulfilling a needed role in the City.
Goal 10. Development of a Cultural Facility: The Community Concert Association has an
immediate need for a performing venue with indoor seating of 600 persons and a small stage.
However, with the growth of La Quinta and this end of the Valley, we believe that a large facility
will soon be needed. We realize that such a venue might be in the distant future, but we believe
that we must begin planning now to accomplish such a feat. We envision a performing arts
center which would accommodate an indoor audience of 1,000 with fixed seating and a standard
size stage with backstage area, lighting, scenery changes and sound system While an outdoor
amphitheater is a wonderfifl venue for some performances, it would not meet our needs, as most
of our performers would be adversely affected by our changeable weather. We do hope that in
the future we can expand our offerings sufficiently to need several sizes of audiences, so that if a
variety of locations and settings were available, we would have a suitable venue for all.
The. Concert Association appreciates your work on behalf of the City and the cultural
organizations, and we share your dreams for La Quinta. We believe that the Cultural Plan will
serve as a useful roadmap for all of us to follow in an orderly manner, working together to
achieve its goals.
Please call on me if I can provide fiuther information. Again, thank you to Patrick for his help.
Sincerely,
Elaine Lloyd, President

MEMORANDUM
The Honorable MaVor and Members of the CitV Council
All CitV Commission Members
CitV Manager
Assistant CltV Manager
Department Heads
Dawn HoneVwell Sad
DATE: � FebruarV 7, 1998
RE: Brown Act Revisions
The legislature has adopted some revisions to the open meeting law
requirements of the Brown Act (Government Code Section 54950-et5o.). The
revisions appear to be primarlIV clarifVing in nature and will not affect the
conduct of meetings for the most part. Two section revisions which maV
have an impact are 54954.2 and 54953.
Section 54954.2(b)(2), which allows an item to be added to the agenda
with a 2/3vote of the members where there is a need to take immediate
action and where the need for action came to the attention of the CitV after
the agenda was posted, now provides that the 2/3vote is of those present
unless less than 2/3 are present and then bv unanimous vote. This change
would allow three members to vote to add if onIV four members of a five -
member bodV are present; whereas previousiv, it would alwaVs have required
at least four votes or a unanimous vote for a five -member bodV.
The abilitv to use teleconferencing has also been significantIV expanded
in Section 54953, as long as certain requirements providing for notice and
public access of each site are met.
The specific sections with their underlined revisions are attached for
Vour information. I will be happv to address anV questions or concerns that
come to mind after Vour review of the revisions.

Monographs I I
Involvement in the Arts and Success in Secondary School reviews benchmark research demonstrating the positive impact of
the arts on education. Examining longitudinal data of 25,000 students, Dr. James S. Catterall's study reveals how
involvement in the arts is linked to higher academic performance, increased standardized test scores, more community
service and lower drop -out rates.

Since 1958 Philip Morris Companies Inc. anniversary year of art support has agreed the Art,
has supported a broad spectrum of cul-
tural programs that reflect the corpora-
don's commitment to innovation. creativ-

support of the arts focuses on contcmpo-
rary �isual and performing arts. and is
among the most comprehensive corpo-
rate cultural programs in the world.
Philip Morris'commitment to the arts can be
seen in many different ways, from general
operating Support, in -kind donations and
tour sponsorships to employee matching gift
programs. Over the years, Philip Morris has
become the single largest corporate funder
of Americans for the Arts. Their Support of
Americans for the Arts is anchored by their
exclusive sponsorship of the Nancy Hanks
Lecture on Arts and Public Policy for the last
seven years. Inspired by the leadership of
the late Nancy Hanks, the lecture series pre.
sents leading statesmen, artists, academics,
business leaders and policy makers who
speak about how our great nation can main-
tain and preserve a cultural identity in the
face of constant political, social and eco-
nomic change. In addition, Philip Morris has
contributed operating support annually to
the organization and has participated gener-
ously in our Galas. Philip Morris has also
sponsored the Lou Harris survey on
American attitudes toward the arts commis-
sioned by Americans for the Arts. These sur.
veys, along with other research conducted
by Americans for the Arts: reveal Americans'
opinions about and participation in the arts;
indicate that the arts encourage creativity
and invention in the workforce; identify
replicable model arts programs that help
strengthen communities across the nation
and document that the arts have become an
to underwrite this commemorative com-
pendium, now available through Americans

The following words from Stephanie
French. Vice President, Corporate
Contributions and Cultural Programs at
Philip Morris Companies Inc., illustrate the
important contributions made to the arts in
America and to Americans for the Arts by our
partners in the corporate community.
"The arts have been hailed as the best
conservator of our heritage and the truest
definition of our culture, they also can be
the key to our future. That is by for seven
consecutive years, Philip Morris has spon-
sored The Nancy Hanks Lecture on Arts and
Public Policy. We are proud to have played a
major role in these distinguished lectures,
which have croated a serious dialogue
around issues facing contemporary art and
culture. In the ioth year of the Hanks lec-
tures, we are especially pleased to continue
our support by underwriting the decade -
long documentation created by Americans
for the Arts.
At Philip Morris we have supported the
arts for 40 years, a time in which the per-
forming and visual arts in America have pro-
liferated. This growth of artistic talent and
cultural opportunity has both opened peo-
pie's eyes and changed people's lives. That
is why we have made cultural activities a key
part of an integrated corporate contributions
program; a program which also focuses on:
hunger and nutrition, the environment, AIDS
and teacher education.
Through our alliance with the arts, we
have seen how culture brings new economic,
educational, and spiritual life to our commu-
nities and we have learned that in order for
culture to survive, it must be given a promi-
nent place in our national conscience and
allowed the freedom and resources to thrive."

in 1997, BRAVO, the Film and Arts Network
expanded its long-standing partnership with
Americans for the Arts and developed a new
advocacy effort in support of arts education,
START SMART, a print and media campaign to
be launched early this year.
START SMART is a call to parents and com-
munity leaders to get the arts back in kids'
lives — as an integral part of the education
process. both in and beyond the classroom.
The campaign will include a series of public
service announcements, a specially -designed
booklet for parents and community activists
and a one -hour original documentary pro.
duced by BRAVO.
START SMART relies on the wealth Of new
research about the arts. This research tells the
compelling story that if the arts are an essen-
tial part of the education process, they will, in
turn. be important indicators at academic suc-
cess and critical assets to workplace success.
"The arts foster the very qualities that
young people need to succeed in school and
in the workplace," said Kathleen Dore,
President of BRAVO Networks. "An arts educa-
tion builds skills key to the muiti-media, warp -
Wed 21St century workplace. At BRAVO, we
Midon. t998 recipient
of the Americans for the
Arts stational Award for
Arts Education
believe that we should be an advocate for arts
education and access to the arts in the com-
munity for all young people. but particularly
those who are at risk and would benefit the
most from the arts."
START SMART will air nationally on BRAVO.
reaching more than 30 million homes through
a series of public service announcements. And
in a move designed to expand the reach of the
campaign, BRAVO has also partnered with
Time Warner Cable, one of the largest cable
television operations in the world with 12.4
million customers.
The START SMART PSAs will feature notable
people — including some unexpected sup-
porters of the arts — speaking about their
own experiences and the benefits of the arts
to academic and workplace success. Actors
Edward James Olmos and Carol Burnett. base-
ball great Bernie Williams and basketball leg-
end Kareem Abdul labaar are among those
who will be featured in the televised spots.
As Edward James Olmos, who taped his
heartfelt message in English and Spanish,
noted: "I grew up in a tough neighborhood in
East L.A., so I'm not going to feed you some
line about how the arts are great or make the
world more beautiful. I am going to let you in
on a fact. Arts education Makes a smarter kid
- a kid who studies better, thinks treatively,
problem solves even if he's no great artist.
And if your child grows up to be somebody
great, who makes the world more beautiful -
hey, blame it on the arts." Olmos was featured
in a public service announcement BRAVO pro -
Twenty -five -year -old Midori, a

it, 1998, in New York City. Now in
the second decade of her extraordi-
nary international career. she has
become one of the most celebrated
figures in the music world.
Born in Osaka, Japan, Midori
came to the United States at age to
with her mother to study Violin at
the Julliard School. In 2982. Zubin
Mehta invited her to be a surprise
guest soloist on the New York
Philharmonic's traditional New
Year's Eve concert, at which she got
both a standing ovation and the
jump on her major career. Midori
has worked with such celebrated
artists as Claudio Abbado, Leonard
Bernstein, YoYo Ma, Kurt Masur.
duced for Americans for the Arts on the arts
as a catalyst for social change.
The START SMART booklet developed with
Americans for the Arts is a compelling arts
education advocacy piece that can help par-
ents make the arts an integral part of their
child's life. This booklet will give an overview
on how the arts impact academic and work-
place success, give suggestions on what Peo-
ple can do to integrate the arts into the home
and the community, and provide key
resources tot arts education advocates.
A centerpiece of this public service cam-
paign will be an original one -hour show pro-
duced by BRAVO. a "Hoop Dreams for the
arts.- referring to the powerful award -winning
documentary about the defining role of bas-
ketball in the lives of inner-city youth.
Likewise, BRAVO's production will chronicle
the experiences of three young people and
the impact of the arts on each of their lives.
The Wciat will premiere in late June.
"START SMART is our biggest campaign
with Americans for the Arts to date," noted
Caroline Bock, BRAVO's Vice President of
Marketing and a board member ofAmericans
for the Arts. "This partnership campaign
reflects the major role Americans for the Arts
has taken as an arts advocate over the past
year, and BRAVO's long-standing commitment
to Americans for the Arts and its network of
local arts supporters."
Mstislav Rostropovich and Isaac
Stern, who Americans for the Arts
will give the 1998 Lifetime
Achievement Award. She has
appeared with such distinguished
orchestras as the Boston
Symphony. the New York
Philharmonic, the London
Symphony, the Israel Philharmonic,
the Chicago Symphony, the Berlin
Philharmonic, the Orchestre de
Paris, the Royal Concertgebouw
Orchestra and the Vienna
Philharmonic. Midori records exclu-
sively for Sony Classical.
Midori devotes a significant part
of each season to her work with
Miclori & Friends, a nonprofit orga-
,nization dedicated to inspiring chil-
dren through music. Founded in
1992, Midori & Friends serves chil-
dren in the United States and Japan
with unique programs that combine
concerts by Midori and other artists
with imaginative participatory arts
activities. Programs in the United
States are currently focused on the
New York City public school system
and address the absence of arts
education in local schools. Each
year, more than io,00ct New York
City school children are involved in
performances and in-schooll activi-
ties. Through music and the arts.
Midori & Friends aims to help chil-
dren learn about other cultures,
improve their self-esteem and dis-
cover new means of self-expression
and communication. Americans for
the Arts is pleased to honor this
gifted young violinist who also
gives something back to those to
with whom she feels the Closest —
the children.
Minneapoiis/Saint Paul hosted the 2997 Americans for the Arts
Annual Convention, "Linking Americans and the Arts: An Arts
Congress." Nearly 1,000 arts professionals and other community
leaders experienced keynote presentations by Pulitzer Prize-winning
playwright August Wilson, notable chamber musician John Steinmetz,
former National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Jane Alexander,
Independent Sector President Sara MelOnclez and Artistic Director of
the nationally -recognized Guthrie Theater, Joe Dowling. This conven-
tion focused on advocacy, arts education, chamber music, fund rais-
ing, leadership development and trends in the areas of technology,
philanthropy and visibility.
In addition to scores of sessions and professional development
opportunities throughout the four days of the convention, Americans
for the Arts — led by Board Member and Convention Chair Michael
Garcia — conducted a campaign to assist the North Valley Arts
Council and other arts organizations in North Dakota seriously affect-
ed by the devastating floods of Spring 1997. Having been featured in
the July/August issue of Arts Link, they provide us with this update:
UPDATE! While Grand Forks and East Grand Forks still show signs of
last year's flooding and fire, the local arts community has bounced back with a
v . entleance. Generous national donations and exuberant local pride combined
to make 1997 a year of great growth for the Greater Grand Forks area and the
cultural community. Local arts organizations have worked together to provide
invaluable services to the community: the North Dakota Museum of Art provid.
ed a facility open to the community and activities to revitalize the soul; and the
North Valley Arts Council (NOVAQ organized visual artists throughout the
region to paint on storefront windows in the devastated downtown, providing a
hopeful and aesthetic counterpoint to scenes of construction and cleanup.
NOVAC has been able to regrant more than $60.000 to local arts groups to help
them recover from the flood. These funds came from generous individuals
nationwide, as well as state arts agencies and foundations. Without this sup-
port, it would haw been harder to do what was needed.
In 1998, Denver will host the Americans for the Arts Annual
Convention, "Values/Arts/Action: Making the Arts Central to Our
Communities and Ourselves," which will be held June 6-9,1998.
Preconferences on the Basics of Arts Agency Management, Training
Artists to Work in Alternative Settings and a United Arts Fund
Leadership Forum will take place June 4 and 5. For more information

JOB LISTINGS
Twelve -hundred community arts agencies, advocates, patrons. arts fun-
clers. local government leaders and others joined Americans for the
Arts as Charter Members in 1997. As a brand new organization — with
more than 35 years of history! — we thank everyone for the support
that made our first full year of operation successful. Throughout the
year, we are proud to feature the work of our members, members such
lion in public dollars. In June. the City of Charlotte voted to continue Its 3-2-t
million annual allocation to the ASC. But a loss Of $2.5 million forced ASC to
reduce the funds allocated through several of its grant programs; cancel First
Night, an annual city-wide New Year's Eve celebration; freeze staff salaries; and
cut back on other budgeted initiatives for the current fiscal year. ASC is
presently preparing for its 1998 Fund Drive. which runs from January 20-
February 26. Last year's drive raised $5 3 million for the cultural community.
and ASC intends to surpass that figure in 1998. This spring. ASC will re -apply to
the County Commission for reinstatement of the $2.5 million in funding.

work with a consultant to identify their critical issues and recommendations to
address those issues. This program will be complemented by a new funding

worked with the Foundation to secure funds that can be used by Arlington
groups to pay for technical assistance projects.

The first section describes student participation rates
in 8th and ioth grades in various school and communi-
ty based arts activities such as school band or drama
productions, arts classes in school, and art -related
lessons outside of school.
The second section describes academic performance
levels and selected behaviors and attitudes of students
at grades 8 and io, for two student groups with differ-
ent experiences with the arts: one group is students
reporting high levels of overall involvement in the arts;
the other is students with low arts involvement. As one
might expect, there are systematic differences between
these two groups favoring the arts -rich on all mea-
sures. That such an outcome is expected stems from
the fact that opportunities to participate in the arts are
typically higher for children from more educated and
affluent families — and these children tend to do bet-
ter in school anyway for various reasons.
In an effort to control for so obvious a challenge to
general claims for the importance of the arts when it
comes to school performance, a different analytical
strategy is used in the third section. Here, relation-
ships between involvement in the arts and achieve-
ment are examined, this time for children from homes
in the lowest quartile of the family income and parent
,education spectrum. The achievement differences
between high and low -arts youth within this economi-
cally disadvantaged group remain significant.
Moreover, the importance of consistent involvement in
the arts shows up in increased advantages for arts -
rich (even though economically poor) youngsters by
the ioth grade.
A substantial case for the importance of the arts in
the academic lives of middle and high schoolers is
the primary implication of this research.
SECTION 1: ARTS PARTICIPATION
RATES IN MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL
The national survey used for this work provides the most
comprehensive data on student participation in the arts
available anywhere. Different indicators were used in the
8th and ioth grade surveys;, summaries of student par-
ticipation rates are shown in Figure iA and iB (at right).

As shown in Figure iA above, about half of 8th graders
report taking an art or music class at least once per
week. Only about one -tenth of 8th graders take drama
classes. Approximately one fifth of students are
involved in band, orchestra, or chorus. Art museum
attendance is reported by 42 percent of 8th graders;
over half in this group report attending science and
history museums with their families.
By ioth grade, regular involvement in the arts in
school seems to drop-off. As shown in Figure iB, only
about a third of students pursued art, music, or drama
classes as 9th and ioth graders. The percentages of
students studying the arts in school for more than two
semesters during this time period are about 8 percent
for art, 15 percent for music and 2 percent for dramatic
arts. About one-fourth of students report taking out of
school arts -related classes during grades 9 and io,
with about one in five of all students taking classes
once per week or more.

The statistics shown above for 8th and ioth graders
would support various perspectives on arts involve-
ment for secondary school students. Analysis of rela-
tionships between the arts and academic success
used the indicators shown in Figures iA and 113 to
develop scales indicating overall arts -involvement lev-
els at grade 8 and over grades 8 and io combined. A
point was assigned for participation in a given arts
class or activity, an additional point for serving as an
officer of an arts -related endeavor (e.g., president of
the drama club) and additional points for engaging in
added years or high weekly frequency of an activity
(e.g., taking lessons outside of school). Museum
attendance by student families was assigned fraction-
al points (one-third of a point) .4 Our main resulting
scale — showing the point totals by student for cumu-
lative involvement in the arts over both grades 8 and
io — shows a total Of 2 or fewer points for the lowest -
involved fourth of all students, and shows about 7 or
more points for the highest -involved 'quarter of all stu-
dents. This means something like the following: stu-
dents in our low arts group typically enrolled -in one
arts course in either grade with no additional involve-
ment in the arts. Students in our high arts group may
have taken 2-3 arts classes, participated in the band
and drama clubs, and may be taking regular lessons
outside of school. About 3 percent of all students
earn zero points on this scale; another 3 percent
score more than 12 Points.
THE ARTS AND EIGHTH GRADE STUDENT
PERFORMANCE
The highest and lowest arts-invoived quartiles of all
8th graders and then ioth graders serve as a basis for
general analyses of academic achievement. In the dis-
cussion below, we refer to these groups as (high -arts)
and (low -arts) students. Shown in Figure 2A (below)
are various indicators of academic achievement as of
eighth grade, by respective level of arts involvement.

AMERICANS FOR THE ARTS
The Sth grade academic achievement indicators
shown in Figure 2A favor the arts -rich, and include
the following:
English grades: Nearly Bo percent of high -arts youth
report mostly As or Bs in English, in contrast to about
64 percent of low -arts youth.
Standardized test scores: The national survey adminis-
tered a variety of standardized tests to students every
two years. The test score reported in Figure 2A for 8th
graders reflects a ranking of students on a composite of
verbal and mathematics tests. About two-thirds of high -
arts students scored in the top 2 quartiles (or top half)
of composite standardized test performance; in con-
trast, only about 43 percent of low -arts students made
it into the top half of the test performance distribution.
Persistence in school: Another marked contrast is
shown for the high -arts versus low -arts 8th graders.
Although dropping out of school is relatively infre-
quent between grades 8 and lo, only 1.4 percent of
students with high arts -involvement as of grade 8
dropped out over the subsequent 2 years; the dropout
rate was four times higher for low -arts students.
Boredom in school: Ask any middle school kid or par-
ent: boredom in school runs fairly high among all 8th
grade students. But those not involved in the arts turn
out to be more bored, more of the time: about 49 per -

tial disinterest with whatfs going on In school.
THE ARTS AND TENTH GRADE STUDENT
PERFORMANCE
The ioth grade analysis used a scale of arts involve-
ment that grouped students according to overall levels
of involvement in the arts for both 8th and ioth grades
— using the scaling process outlined above — and
compared the highest arts -involved quarter of the stu-
dent population with the lowest arts -involved quarter
of all students. Because available indicators at grade
io differed somewhat from (and were more numerous
than) those available for 8th graders, the report shows
a similar and extended set of achievement, behavior
and attitude measures for ioth graders, shown in
Figures 2B and 2C (bottom and right).
Figure 2B (bottom left) shows several academic
performance contrasts between high -arts and. low -
arts ioth graders.
Standardized test scores: Nearly 75 percent of high -arts
ioth graders scored in the top half of the composite (ver-
bal and math skills combined) test score distribution.
Only 45 percent of the low -arts youth met this standard.
Reading performance: Paralleling standardized test
performance, about two-thirds of the high -arts stu-
dents scored in the top half of the reading performance
distribution for ioth graders., Only 43 percent of low -
arts students met the reading performance standard.,
Tests of History, Citizenship, and Geography: The bal-
ance favoring high -arts involvement for ioth graders
appears about the same for the National Educational
Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) test in history,
citizenship and geography as for reading and the over-
all standardized test composite: about 71 percent of
high -arts students scored in the top half of the perfor-

mance distribution on this test, compared to about 46
percent of low -arts students.
ADDITIONAL 10TH GRADE INDICATORS
We explored in a very preliminary way the NELS:88
data base for other contrasts associated with student
involvement in the arts. Three of these comparisons
are shown in Figure 2C (at right):
Community service performance: High arts -involved stu-
dents are more likely to involve themselves in communi-
ty service. A very strong majority, 86 percent, of low -arts
students rarely engage in community service activities
such as volunteering for social programs. In comparison,
more than one-third of high -arts youth perform commu-
nity service activities occasionally or more frequently.
Attitudes about community service: Reported involve-
ment in community service seems to go hand in hand
with student beliefs about its importance. About 47
percent of high -arts ioth graders believe that commu-
nity service is important or very important, in contrast
to only 34 percent of low -arts students.
Making time for the arts: An important issue lurking
in these data describing student involvement in the
arts is just how students more involved in the arts
make time available for this involvement. This is an
issue deserving focused attention in inquiries about
why the arts matter, and how the arts may contribute
positively to the development of children and adoles-
cents. Presented here is just a small glimpse of such
an inquiry, namely the time youth in the NELS:88 sur-
vey spend watching television.
* About twice as many high -arts ioth graders report
watching less than an hour of television per day than
low -arts students — 28 percent versus 15 percent.
* The relationship for high television watching is the
reciprocal: more low -arts youth report watching three
hours or more of television then high -arts youth — 21
to 35 percent.

INTERIM CONCLUSIONS: GOOD NEWS
FOR THE ARTS, BUT WHAT ABOUT FAMILY
BACKGROUND DIFFERENCES?
The preceding analyses and displays show unambigu-
ous positive academic, behavioral and attitudinal
associations with student involvement in the arts.
High -arts students in general score better on academ-
ic tests, achieve more in school, and exhibit more com-
munity -minded values than low -arts students. While
from the point of view of the arts enthusiast there
seems to be much to cheer about in these findings, it
does not take extensive experience with developmen-
tat and educational inquiry to realize that involvement
in the arts is neither the only nor the most important
difference between the high and low -arts groups com-
pared. An unquestionable substantial contributor to
the differences just shown is the fact that children dif-
fer in their access to, and engagement with, the arts.
A crucial difference is the fact that children from
more educated and affluent households are more like-
ly to be involved with the arts. This is expected
because of various advantages that go hand in hand
with socio-economic status (SES):
* ability to afford private lessons
* increased parent resources to transport children to
arts activities
* living in more affluent school districts where arts
programs are more prevalent
ri
AMERICANS FOR THE ARTS
* possibly more parent encouragement for the arts
because of their own advantaged and comparatively
arts -rich school years and adult lives
This view is substantiated by family income statistics,
about the high and low -arts groups in our database
used f or this analysis. The chart below shows a clear
relationship between SES and arts involvement in the
national sample enlisted for this research: . .
PROBABILITY OF ARTS INVOLVEMENT BY
SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS (SES) SCALE
40% � -------------------------
IIIGN ARTS INVOLVEMENT LOW AMS INVOLVEMENT
0 "ION SU QUARTILE 2 LOW SES QUARTILE
A simple symmetry is displayed in the chart above:
A student's probability of high arts involvement is
twice as high if his/her family is in the highest family
income quartile than in the lowest quartile.
* Conversely, a student is twice as likely to show low
arts involvement if he/she is from a low SES family
than from a high SES family.
Thus high-SES youth are considerably oVer-repre-
sented in our high -arts group; low-SES youth are con-
siderably over -represented in our low -arts group.
(The strong relationship between family background
and arts participation is also noted in early analyses
based on the National Assessment of Educational
Progress and a 1981 report of the Second National
Art Assessment.)6
So while the various advantages to arts involvement
reported above seem substantial and powerful, it is by
no means simple to tease out just what the arts per se
have to do with this. Without attempting a fine-grained
analysis, a substantial portion of the academic advan-
tages associated with the arts should be attributed to
just who has access to and encouragement for the
arts. At the same time, not all of the advantages
should be assumed to be tied up in this primary selec-
tion factor. A case for this contention is supported by
the subsequent analysis in Section 3, where we exam-
ine relationships between the arts and student perfQr-
mance within the low SES quartile of all students — a
group for whom differences in access to the arts based
on family economic resources are considerably more
constrained. Besides arguing that -such an analysis
tends to meet the SES relationship challenge just
described, we have ample additional reason for an
interest in children from homes where parent income
and education levels are low. The economically disad-
vantaged core of our youth have drawn a great deal of
attention from educators and education policy schol-
ars in their own right for decades — children in this
group, on average, have the greatest difficulties suc-
ceeding in school and as adults. Far more poor than
affluent children fail in school, drop out without gradu-
ating, and eventually lead adult lives dependent on
public services such as welfare and involved in pub-
licly costly behaviors such a criminal activity.'
14ere is an exploration of what the arts mean for
economically disadvantaged 8th and ioth graders.
This section replicates the analysis performed for all
8th and ioth graders above, in this case comparing
high -arts and low -arts students from within the least
affluent quarter of the nation's student population.
The analysis procedures are essentially the same, with
the exception of restricting the inquiry to students
whose families are in the lowest parent education and
income (or SES) quartile. This means that only the
poorest 6,500 Out of the original 25,000 8th graders
are considered; this group is then examined for stu-
dents meeting the low and high arts -involvement crite-
ria established for the analysis in Section 2.'
Consistent with data shown in the chart is an observa-
tion that among the low SES youth in the NELS:88
MONOGRAPHS VOLUME I NUMBER 9

survey, about four times as many youngsters fall into
the low -arts group as into the high -arts group. It is
these two groups that now draw interest.
ARTS AND STH GRADE STUDENT PERFOR-
MANCE IN THE LOW SES QUARTILE
Paralleling the analysis for all students shown in
Section 2 above, we here examine academic perfor-
mance indicators for high -arts versus low -arts stu-
dents from low SES families. The overall performance
levels of the entire economically disadvantaged
group are lower than performance levels for all stu-
dents, as we would expect. But the positive relation-
ships between arts engagement and academic perfor-
mance remain robust and systematic, as shown ini-
tially in Figure 3A (at right). Even more important, the
academic advantages for arts -involved economically
disadvantaged youngsters are quite pronounced by
grade io, especially as shown in Figure 3B (at right).
English grades: About 8 percent more high -arts stu-
dents report mostly As and Bs in English over grades 6-
8. While the absolute increment between the two
groups is 8 percentage points, the percentage of high -
arts students showing lofty English grades (64.5 per-
cent) is 14.4 percent higher than the percentage of low -
arts students (5.6.4 percent) doing this well in English.,
Standardized test scores: An added 5 percent of high -
arts students score in the top half of the composite
test score distribution (reading, verbal and mathemat-
ics tests). This is a 20.4 percent difference favoring
high -arts youngsters.
Dropping out of school: Dropout rates are higher for
all students with low SES family backgrounds. But the
dropout rate between grades 8 and io for low -arts stu-
dents (9-4 percent) is 45 percent higher than the rate
for high -arts students (6-5 percent).
Boredom in school: Student reports of being bored in
school remain high, but boredom levels are slightly
lower overall for low SES youngsters than for all 8th

Student self concept: High arts -involved, low SES
youngsters report higher self concepts by about 5.5
percentage points — 9.2 percent higher than low -arts
students. The self concept scale is based on student
answers to questions about how much they value
themselves, their abilities, and their achievements.

ARTS AND 10TH GRADE STUDENT PERFOR-
MANCE IN THE LOW SES QUARTILE
Above is a report of modest but significant and sys-
tematic academic performance differences favoring
high -arts 8th grade students within the low SES quar-
tile. Below is an examination of academic performance
differences related to arts involvement by loth grade
for the same low SES group.
To summarize in a few words: the academic perfor-
mance differences for low SES children linked to arts
involvement are greater and more significant by the
loth grade. This contrast reflects a better and more
sustained indicator of arts involvement — the high -
versus low -arts groups are based now on a composite
of indicators of arts involvement over both 8th and
loth grades. And the outcomes are more meaningful
beca use by the spring of loth grade, academic perfor-
mance tends to get closer to what student high school
careers will eventually amount to.
As shown in Figure A the academic performance
levels of high -arts loth graders outstrip the perfor-
mance levels of low -arts students by more than half
across the board — the shares scoring in the top two

Various additional indicators of advantage for arts -
involved students within the low SES ranks also show
up in NELS:88 data. Several are shown in Figure �C
(bottom left).

comes to community service practices and attitudes:

* nearly one-third more low -arts youth report watching

* about 23 percent more high -arts youngsters than

CONCLUSIONS
This study finds considerable advantages for you th high-
ly engaged in the arts during grades 8 and io when com-
pared to arts -poor students. Academic grades, standard-
ized test scores, measured reading levels and attitudes
concerning commitment to community were all higher
for students maintaining high levels of activity in music,
chorus, drama and the visual arts. And the academic
performance differences were quite pronounced by loth
grade, where students demonstrated consistent involve-
ment (or lack of involvement) through two years of data
collection across the middle and early high school years.
This pattern holds both generally in this 25,000 student
sample, and most importantly for students in the
lowest quartile of family education and income.
Explaining these differences? This brief report does not
explore the theoretical rationales for why the arts might

matter in ways suggested, although much can be said
about such foundations and has been documented in
previous work by the author and others. These can be
grouped into major categories reflecting the various
roles that the arts play in promoting cognitive develop-
ment (from specific relations such as the influence of
music on perception and comprehension of mathemati-
cat structure to the more general roles of imagery and
representation on cognition). The arts serve to broaden
access to meaning by offering ways of thinking and ways
of representation to youngsters possessing a spectrum
of "intelligences" scattered unevenly across the popuia-
tion. The arts also show links to student motivation and
engagement in school, attitudes that contribute to acad-
emic persistence and achievement. Many arts activities,
particularly the performing arts, also promote communi-
ty — advancing shared purpose and team spirit required
to perform an ensemble musical or dramatic work, or to
design and paint a public mural. With the promotion of
community surely comes empathy and general attach-
ment to the larger values of the school and the adult
society which high school students will soon join.
Success by artistic association? The arts show advan-
tages when it comes to academic achievement in the
relationships we describe. Even in the absence of
causal attributions yet to be proved in our Work with
this national database the perspectives we show elicit
another reason to promote more involvement in the
arts for more youngsters. This analysis of the NELS:88
survey establishes that students involved in the arts
are doing better in school than those who are not —
for whatever constellation of reasons. Research into
academic achievement going back three decades and
more argues that the motivation and success of one's
peers have an influence on how a youngster does in
school. At very least, these data support the con-
tention that rubbing shoulders with arts -involved
youngsters in the middle and high school years is, on
average, a smart idea when it comes to choosing
friends and activities.
Unequal access to the arts. Although not the main
theme of this study, the data support popular convic-
tions as welt as research concluding that access to the
arts is inequitably distributed in our society. Students
from poor and less educated families are much more
likely to record low levels of participation in the arts
during middle and high school; affluent youngsters
are much more likely to show high engagement in the
arts. The arts do matter — not only as worthwhile
experiences in their own right, but also as instruments
of cognitive growth and development and as agents of
motivation for school success.
A FINAL NOTE - SCALING UP RESEARCH
ATTENTION TO THE ARTS
More than eight years into the most important educa-
tional survey addressing educational conditions and
outcomes for American youth, this brief exploration
appears to be the first analysis of student p articipa-
tion in the arts to appear in print. The likely reasons
for this speak to the lagging place of the arts in the
imaginations of most contemporary education leaders,
policy makers and researchers. When academics have
turned their lenses to the powerful NELS:88 survey,
the issues they explore concentrate on the tried and
true, even if their questions are important: Why do
children fail? Who drops out of school? What curricu-
lum designs or teaching practices contribute to math,
science, and reading achievement? What accounts for
the personal, educational and occupational aspira-
tions of youth? Who is at -risk, who is resilient, and
why? Which family and community supports for educa-
tion matter? Good and critical questions, all.
But scholars with the patience, computing facilities
and modeling skills needed to work with this data
base seem as much interested in their techniques as
in their subjects, and when it comes to tackling educa-
tional issues they gravitate to mathematics, science
and reading because that is what the policy communi-
ty is so keen on nowadays. There is reason to spend
more time in our large-scale queries into educational
achievement on what we can know about the arts and
student development and accomplishment of all sorts.
This work is a start on this agenda.
