Report on Americans for the Arts Convention
June 10-13, 2000
"Arts on the Edge - Risking it All"
As always it is an honor to represent the City of La Quinta.
Americans for the Arts is a national network of organizations and individuals dedicated to empowering
communities and communicating the value of the arts - through national and local decision makers, arts
organizations, corporations, foundations, and individual leaders.
Americans For the Arts helps create a better understanding of the role of the arts and the value of arts
education in America through advocacy and media campaign, field research, leadership and development
seminars.
Their mission: to increase private and public resources for the arts and provide access to the arts for all
Americans.
1. Partner with the public and private funding committee to steer more resources to the arts.
2. Work directly with decision makers dtaorteducate and n o der to bulocal ild bettercommunities.
rs and l support
organizations to develop theprograms
This convention was attended by over 1000 artists, administrators, funders and supporters for the future
of the arts.
n times of rapid
Americans for the Arts took stock of the historical aspects and
v virtually everylarea of the arts,
changes in science, technology and industry. The Conference covered
including theater, music, dance, and other forms from all backgrounds and cultures.
We heard from Barry Hessenius, Director of California Arts Council, who incidentally is planning to be
at our symposium on November 4, 2000 as a panalist (pending written confirmation from us). Bob Lynch,
President and CEO of Americans for the Arts had encouraging thoughts for the future of the arts. Laura
Zucker, Executive Director of the Los Angeles County Arts Commission welcomed us to her city and
many others made presentations.
The other highlights included sessions on:
♦ The role of the arts in civic dialogue
♦ Exploring media arts
♦ tween the non-profit and for profit arts industries
Exploring areas of collaboration be
We had many opportunities to meet and talk to representatives from other Cultural Arts Commissions and
private and public art agencies to exchange ideas. We shared concerns, achievements and always came
away with resources and hopes. We exchanged business cards, ours were greatly appreciated and many
did not know where La Quinta was. We rectified that with spirit and invitations to come and visit the
"Gem of the Desert".
We also discovered that patience and more patience was universally required and vision with persistence
were partners everywhere - but without passion and commitment - where would the arts be!
Focus on technology in the arts was the buzz word, in 1998 it was partnership. Computer and media rooms
were always open. I feel that the presence of Leslie and I was important as it made many delegates aware
of La Quinta and its rapid growth and commitment to the arts.
Registrants were alerted to the importance of reaching our respective congressional representatives
regarding the vote on the floor for funding of the NEA. I called Mary Bono, and urged her to vote for the
maximum amount of possible on any of the amendments that would increase the funding for the National
Endowment for the Arts, whose funds have made a real impact in communities across the nation.

Mobilizing Local Arts Education - Ohio - Model
On the panel were: School District Officials, Administrators from Ohio Arts Council, a representative from
Business Community who created a partnership which integrate the arts into the curriculum. The panel
stressed the importance of partnerships, emphasizing the inclusion of art in the school curriculum. The
importance of support from the business sector and the benefits of educating the entire community to the
importance of supporting the arts - as a necessity for a healthy and vital community. (Again, pointing to
the need for our Symposium on November 4, 2000.)
Sunday, June 11

programing. We exchanged ideas, discussed our community setting, talked about trends and opportunities
related to the arts, education, and school reform.

implementing public art programs.
How to become better innovators - Listen to anyone with an original idea.
What technology can do for the arts - the nature of digital art.

The John Anson Ford Amphitheater
Last meeting attended by chairpersons of various programs. I shared our partnership, experiences in the
City of La Quinta, DSUSD, and the McCallum. Asked if other successful programs could be shared with
us. Americans for the Arts could be a conduit. This exchange could advance and expedite future
successes. They agreed and will let us know via website or email. Communities can share with each other
- areas of their success. What worked and what did not. Saving time and not reinventing the wheel.

Closing Breakfast
Said our goodbyes to new friends and old.
At this time I would like to praise the gracious hospitality of Los Angeles's Laura Zucker and staff for their
warm welcome and for hosting this event. They are outstanding hosts extending themselves in every way -
providing entertainment, walking tours, etc. A night in Little Tokyo was interesting and attending a
production of "Follies" and dessert ending the evening in high spirits.
Our visit nest evening to the John Anson Amphitheatre made me wish we had one in La Quinta - so that
we can have performances in music, dance, and drama.
We were entertained by film clips - documentaries that were a delight infused with live tap dancers - young
students who were charming. In short, we enjoyed every minute.
Again, I thank the City Council and my commission for the opportunity to represent La Quinta at the
Americans for the Arts Convention 2000. It reinforced the need for commitment, passion, perseverance -
a lot of patience - vision and leadership in order to implement and get the support from our community
necessary to implement the cultural projects in La Quinta.
Sincerely,
Rosita Shamis
