for the Arts
Arts Wire is an online network of artists, arts workers, arts
organizations and arts funders. It provides professional level
access to
• current news and information relating to the arts
• informed discussion of arts -related issues
• the latest listings of grants, exhibition opportunities,
and jobs in the arts
• a forum for creating and experiencing online art
• a powerful communications tool, with technical
assistance for users of all skill levels
• the Internet and World Wide Web
Arts Wire is an Online Community, and then some
Arts Wire provides for more than a one-way flow of information. Members not
only access news, information, databases and resources of interest, they also
play an active role in providing and sharing such information. Arts Wire users
form a functioning community, getting to know one another through sustained
online interactions.
Arts Wire users come from all walks of life and from a growing list of nations.
What holds us together is the strong bond of concern for the welfare of the arts.
It's a friendly and supportive online environment, with a focus on sharing
wisdom and resources among a group of interested peers.
Arts Wire is committed to bringing the benefits of telecommunications to
diverse cultural groups across the country, and to establishing a home for the
arts on the information superhighway.
Support where you need it
Whether you are an utter novice or a wizard in telecommunications technology,
Arts Wire's conferences, publications and technical support staff will help guide
you past any hurdles you might encounter.
How it actually works
Arts Wire's resources are divided into conferences - organized by theme or by
function which provide both an information gathering service and an information
filter - a useful tool in this age of information overload. In addition to core
conferences organized by Arts Wire staff, a great number of conferences are
organized and maintained by organizations and individual subscribers. Arts
Wire's unique graphic interface, WebCaucus, offers "point and click" access to
the system - as well as seandess links to resources on the World Wide Web
from within Arts Wire.
It's all in your hands, really
Arts Wire can be tailored to each individual user's needs and interests.
Subscribers can use, read, add to or initiate:
• private conferences for focused work with selected
colleagues
• public conference forums with discussion and debate
• databases and libraries of resource materials
• full email functions and Internet access
Two interfaces are available
No matter how outdated (or how geeked) your computer equipment may be,
you can access Arts Wire.
WebCaucus Graphic Interface
This unique interface, developed specifically for use by Arts Wire, features
easy -to -use intuitive point and click menus and commands, aflowing easy access
to Arts Wires many resources even to first-time users. It is accessible through a
SLIP, PPP or SLIP -emulator connection and a World Wide Web browser
program. This interface also offers seamless access to other Web resources from
within Arts Wire.
The regular old Interface
This standard text -based system, preferred by many, is accessible by almost all
personal computers, even those with slower baud rate modems and with the
lowest band -width phone connections.
You can get there from here
Arts Wire also provides a window to the wider world of online technology, the
Internet and the World Wide Web. Online training and technical support is
available to all subscribers, allowing easy access to a wealth of informational
resources from around the globe.
What's more, subscribers can disseminate information via the Arts Wire gopher
and Web sites. At no extra cost, subscribers can set up their own home page on
Arts Wire and carry ir story to a world wide audience. Art fire also
provides a variety of services to arts organizations, institutions and individuals.
How much does it cost?
Arts Wire members set their own _mgnibershi -_) raLes, with the idea that those
I _- —
who can afford more will help those who can afford less. We're building a
community, and we believe that members with greater resources will help this
community grow by choosing higher membership levels. Your contribution
allows Arts Wire to maintain the low minimum rate of $60 a year, as well as
subsidize a number of memberships for artists, guests and organizations not
able to meet the minimum rate. Feel free to select the minimum if that is most
appropriate for you or your organization.
How do you decide if you are an individual or an organization? You can choose
whatever option you like. Generally, organizational memberships are for those
people who use Arts Wire to distribute or gather information for use by an
institution or organization, rather than for their personal use.

NEH AWARDS 154 HUMANITIES GRANTS
WASHINGTON, DC -- The chairman of the National Endowment for the
Arts, (NEH) William R. Ferris has announced 154 humanities grants
totaling %18.Z5 million. The new NEH grants, announced in August,
support development of 61 public humanities projects, including
film documentaries, radio programs, museum exhibitions and library
activities, totaling $11 million; and 93 humanities education
projects, totaling $7.25 million.
Film documentary grant recipients include: Maiden Voyage
Productions (Half Moon Bay, CA) for a one -hour documentary film on
the early history and culture of the Pacific Island voyagers and
the theory and reality of their voyages; Stone Lantern Films,
Inc. (Glen Echo, MD) for A SOCIAL HISTORY OF AMERICAN PUBLIC

collection, evaluation and synthesi- _� materials from the
Cheyenne and Lakota tribes for CD-RL ind the World Wide Web;
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, MA) for THE
VIRTUAL SCREENING ROOM: a Multimedia Textbook for Film Analysis;
and Lehman College Art Gallery, Bronx to support the development
of a Web site on public monuments in the Bronx, New York, as a
teaching resource for elementary school teachers and students.
This round of education grants also launches a new NEH initiative
called Schools for a New Millennium" Mich will enable selected
schools to become models for use of computer technology in
day-to-day teaching.
"The National Endowment for the Humanities is firmly committed to
developing the use of the computer as a major educational tool in
the humanities, said NEH Chairman William Ferris. "The computer
cannot replace the close study of texts that lies at the heart of
humanities education, but computer -accessible teaching aids can
support teachers in ways that actually boost student achievement.
NEH seeks to help humanities teachers, parents and entire school
communities realize the educational benefits of the computer,
which certainly include preparing students for a future requiring
technological literacy."
Funded projects under the Schools for a New Millennium initiative
include: Arizona State University and Seba Dulkai School for
developing a middle -school humanities curriculum emphasizing
Navajo history and language; Los Angeles Unified School District
and Portola Middle School for teacher training and use of
Web -based instructional materials to teach Asian history and
culture; and Rice University (Houston, TX) and Hogg Middle School
to engage students in community studies and to prepare materials
in electronic format for the NEW HANDBOOK OF TEXAS, an electronic
encyclopedia of sketches of Texas communities.

CUBAN MUSICIANS PLAY IN MIAMI
MIAMI BEACH, FL -- Overcoming a visa snarl-up, anti -Castro
protesters, and a bomb threat, a "dazzling array" of Cuba -based
musicians perfor7ned last week at the annual MIDEM Latin and
Caribbean Music Market. They "thrilled an audience of several
hundred at Miami Beach's convention center" according to the
WASHINGTON POST. (Reuters)
Performers in what the Post describes as "the highest -profile
concert here by Cuba -based musicians in years," included pianists
Jesus "Chucho" Valdes and Guillermo Rubalcaba, with their bands
Irokere and La Charanga Rubulcaba; singer Omura Portuondo; and
90-year-old singer and guitarist Compay Segundo.
The Post notes that the concert was a test of exiles' reaction to
a call for reconciliation among all Cubans which was made by Pope
John Paul II during a visit to Havana in January.
Anti -Castro protesters picketed the convention center, and the
Post reports that at one point, police had to evacuate the
auditorium because of a bomb threat. However, no bomb was found.
There was also a delay in getting visas for the musicians which
forced a schedule change, but U.S. officials in Havana said that
the holdup until was procedural, not political.
Greater Miami is home to the United States' largest Cuban exile
community which is dominated by a vocal core who left their
homeland after Fidel Castro's communist government took power.
This Cuban community has traditionally opposed concerts in Miami
by musicians based in Cuba, and Miami -Dade County regulation
prohibits the county from doing business with companies that have
any dealings with 2
Judy Malloy,9/l/98 12:53 AM,Current, September 1, 1998 1/2 3
However, earlier this year, MIDEM ai :he city of Miami Beach
were able to sign a contract that allowed the Cubans to attend
MIDEM without violating the county ordinance because local music
industry officials would underwrite and organize the conference.
"Music is universal, Cuban music is one music, it belongs to
Cubans," the Post quotes pianist Jesus "Chucho" Valdes as saying.
"It is the most valuable part of those who live in Cuba, in Japan,
in Australia or on the moon, it is our roots, our identity and
that must be respected."

CD PRESSING PLANT CHALLENGES NEW NEGATIVLAND RELEASE
Recent actions by the Recording Industry Association Of America,
Inc. (RIAA) have caused the company that presses Negativland's
CDs to refuse to press a new Negativland CD, according to an
email alert from Negativland. The CD -- OVER THE EDGE Volume 3:
THE WEATHERMAN'S DUMB STUPID COME -OUT LINE -- was originally slated for an
August 17 release on Negativland's own Seeland
Records label,
Negativland is an experimental -music and art collective which has
been recording and self -releasing "music/audio/colloge" works
since 1979. "What began as a natural attraction to found sound in
a society overflowing with disposable media has now become a
conscious desire to show by example the crucial difference between
pirating or counterfeiting another's work straight across in order
to profit from the solubility of that single source, and the
creative transformation of material from multiple sources into
new, 'original' works," says Negativland's Mark Hasler.
In July, according to Negativland, the CD pressing plant which
they had been using for the last four years demanded that the
group provide proof that the samples on their new CD had been
cleared and paid for. The CD plant had noticed some chunks of
music mixed into the sound collage that were appropriated from
Pink Floyd and The Village People.
"In all the years that Negativland has been releasing CD's full of
creatively appropriated found sounds on their own Seeland Records
label, this issue has never come up with the CD plant," Hasler
states.
According to Hasler, the RIAA (a lobbying and enforcement arm of
the Big Five multi -national entertainment companies: Sony,
Time -Warner, Universal/Polygramt BMG, and EMI) has issued
guidelines to CD plants on what to look out for to prevent CD
piracy and counterfeiting, and, since June of this year, is now
"advising" CD manufacturers that they need to look out for samples
as well.
Once the plants are put on notice that a particular action is
potentially infringing, they are at risk of being held liable for
what is legally known as "contributory infringement" Hasler
explains. This is like holding the printing press not the
newspaper liable for a newspapers content, he adds.
He also states that "most plants are entirely dependent on the
members of the RIAA for their livelihood and dare not cross them
even in the face of outrageous and oppressive behavior."

Dy,9/1/98 12:53 AM,Current, September 1, 1998 1/2 4
"Negativland is strongly against tht ' rating and counterfeiting
of other peoples CD's," Hasler says. "But the RIAA is tarring
sampling and audio collage with the some pirate brush.
Negativland's CD plant was not interested in the fact that
Negativland knew that their trunsformative re -use of the sampled
material was a fair use under copyright law or that Negativland
was quite willing to defend this re -use as a fair use in a court
of law."

Dickinson College
THE ARTS IN SOCIETY: STRATEGIES FOR THE Z1ST CENTURY
"The identity of the visual and performing arts has been
significantly challenged, questioned, and redefined during the
last decades of the twentieth century," the Conference organizers
write. "Artists are experiencing enormous changes in their
relationships to audiences, their sources of support, and the
institutions that sustain them. Shifts in the economy are forcing
arts organizations to approach marketing, fundraising, and
programing in new ways. The role of educational institutions is
changing, as funders and arts organizations look to schools to
build new audiences and preserve the values of artistic
expression."
This conference will address the ramifications of these changes
through panel discussion and small group dialogue, among a
multi -disciplinary group of participants who include Wayne Brown:
Director of Music and Opera for the National Endowment for the
Arts; Zelda Fichandler: chair of Tisch School of the Arts; Sarah
Hilsendager: National Ounce Association Scholar, past chairman of
Temple University's Dance Department; William Strickland: director
of Pittsburgh's innovative Manchester Craftsman Guild; and many

components to the current Work Plan.
Staff has submitted, for consideration three versions of the current plan: A redline
copy of the two unapproved plans (Attachment 1), as discussed by the Commission
at the August meeting; an expanded version with the redline items deleted and
highlighted items included (Attachment 2); and a simplified version (Attachment 3)
with the goals of the Work Plan tasks stated from the enabling Ordinance for the
Commission.
Once the Commission has finalized a Work Plan version, staff will submit the Work
Plan to the City Council for consideration.

Goal: To provide in printed form, a listing and directional guide to the

3.4.1 of the Master Plarr. UmWng CQuIMN=
it is recognized that public at often is a *lightning rod" for
controversy and that the Public Art Prograrn shall est"A
guidelines which help to manage it. Of greatest importance Is
having a mechanism fbr public involvement in public art projects, a
means whereby thow who live and/or work near the project
somehow participate in the project.
In order to manage controversy, program and projects shall be
developed which give conununities "territoriality" or owmwship of
their pubfic art progrom such as

A public education program shaft be initiated whereby artists
become avalable to talk with the pubfic, where new forms of art am
discussed, the klea of collaboration and integration of the design
arts are cKplored, and media campaigns are built to aid in the
demystification of art, especially public Ut-
Those reWontsible for naming, selection panels shall take into
consideration the fiwt that the project is for a public plece, not a
museum, and the public shall be involved. An open process must
be estaWSW OW maintained so that no surprises occur. The more
that is shared about a project the more acceptance it will win. The
goal of this plan is not to make the public like or *oy what has
been created, or to make artist selections by pubfic vote, but to
assure that all can accept the process of site, artist, and art selection
as having been fidr and cobborative.

nature of the work allows community members to experience the
effects of different approaches to public art making it a non-
threatening environment. Several artists may simultaneously create
work at a public event to stimulate interaction and meaningful
dialogue. The Art in Public Places Commission may choose to use
some of their funds to commission temporary work or may ask other
local cultural organizations to consider producing such events.
Goal: Chapter 2.75.040 (12) The Commission wifi submit to the City
Couixg a a-m-nendation for ratifiWadw of PA&C art to be fimmed
by the Art in Pubk Places program. (15) The Commission wiff make

for a project with opportunity for a question and answer session.
In addition to the Art in Public Places Commission, public
representation shall be included in all phases of public art projects.
Community groups and individuals shall be consulted in determining
sites and priorities, and in the artist selection process. Community
groups shall be encouraged to co-sponsor creation of art places, e.g.,

Controver
It is recognized that public art often is a "lightning rod" for
controversy and that the Public Art Program shall establish guidelines
which help to manage it. Of greatest importance is having a
mechanism fbi public involvement in public art projects, a means
whereby those who live and/or work near the project somehow
participate in the project.
In order to manage controversy, programs and projects shall be
developed which give communities "territoriality" or ownership of
their public art program such as:
12
Cultural Arts Commission Expanded Work Plan September, 1998
community public art activities.
Community representation on public art projects.
Public education programs.
Media programs.
Artists -in -the -neighborhood programs.
Development of sites for community celebrations.
A public education program shall be initiated whereby artists become
available to talk with the public, where new forms of art are discussed,
the idea of collaboration and integration of the design arts are
explored, and media campaigns are built to aid in the demystification
of art, especially public art.
Those responsible for naming selection panels shall take into
consideration the fact that the project is for a public place, not a
museum, and the public shall be involved. An open process must be
established and maintained so that no surprises occur. The more that
is shared about a project the more acceptance it will win. The goal of
this plan is not to make the public like or enjoy what has been created,
or to make artist selections by public vote, but to assure that all can
accept the process of site, artist, and art selection as having been fair
and collaborative.
3.4. I.Printed Information - The La Quinta Art, in Public Places
Commission and City staff shall create printed material describing the
purpose and goals of the Public Art Plan for La Quinta. This
information shall be accessible in terms of language and availability to
