Send Support for $2.5 Million NEA Increase
Yesterday evening, the U.S. House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee, which sets the initial funding level for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), approved a $2.5 million increase for the NEA in its FY 2011 spending bill. Chairman Jim Moran (D-VA), a longtime champion of arts and culture, presided over his first Interior spending bill as chairman of the subcommittee. It is significant that Chairman Moran has proposed an increase for the agency in light of a spending freeze on federal discretionary funds and a lower budget request by the administration. Please send a message to your members of Congress telling them to support this funding increase that Chairman Moran made in subcommittee!
Currently funded at $167.5 million, this increase would bring the NEA's budget to $170 million. In his statement, Chairman Moran acknowledged that, "the increase recognizes the value we place, as a nation, on our artistic and cultural heritage."
On Arts Advocacy Day 2010, Americans for the Arts presented a panel of witnesses before Chairman Moran's Appropriations Subcommittee calling for a significant increase in funding for the NEA. This diverse group of witnesses included Terri Aldrich, Executive Director, Minot Area Council of the Arts; Brig. Gen. Nolen V. Bivens, U.S. Army (ret.); Jeff Daniels, Golden Globe-nominated film and stage actor; Kyle MacLachlan, Emmy-nominated TV, film, and stage actor; Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter; Charles Segars, CEO, Ovation; and Robert L. Lynch, President and CEO, Americans for the Arts. Video from the hearing and further details, including the witnesses' testimony, are available
online here.
Thanks to all of our grassroots advocates for your letters and calls to Congress and for attending Arts Advocacy Day this year. We're seeing the results of your participation!
Next Steps:
The FY 2011 Interior Appropriations bill will next go to full committee and then to the full House of Representatives for consideration. Both the House and Senate have been slow to proceed on funding measures this year, and it's possible that many of the final appropriations decisions will take place after the elections and conducted in a "lame duck" session in November and December. Nonetheless, we must continue to put pressure on the Senate to match this funding level. Please take two minutes to visit the Americans for the Arts E-Advocacy Center to send a letter to your members of Congress letting them know that the arts are important to you!
Help us continue this important work by becoming an official member of the Arts Action Fund. If you are not already a member play your part by joining the Arts Action Fund today--it's free and simple.

Contact Your Legislator about H.Con.Res. 275
Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.Con.Res. 275, legislation designating the second week of September as "Arts in Education Week." Authored and introduced by California Representative Jackie Speier (D-CA), this resolution is the first Congressional expression of support celebrating all the disciplines comprising arts education. This is a very positive showing of support for arts education and comes at a key time when Congress is making plans to overhaul federal education policy. Take two minutes to send a message of support for arts education to your member of Congress!
The resolution seeks to support the attributes of arts education that are recognized as instrumental to developing a well-rounded education such as creativity, imagination, and cross-cultural understanding. H.Con.Res. 275 also highlights the critical link between those skills and preparing our children for gaining a competitive edge in the global economy. This is an important message for policy makers to acknowledge as they prepare to reauthorize federal education policy. To send a message to your member of Congress in support for arts education, please visit our E-Advocacy Center.
As a House resolution, the bill does not require signature by the President upon its passage. You can read the resolution here.
We salute Rep. Speier and the more than 101 original cosponsors for their support of arts education and for this truly special recognition of the value of culture for our country's students. Americans for the Arts was happy to help provide assistance to Rep. Speier in this endeavor.

Summerfest Organizers Still Looking for Host Families (Bountiful: Aug 1 - 9)
Summerfest Organizers Still Looking for Host Families
BOUNTIFUL, Utah, July 22, 2010- The Summerfest Housing Committee is looking for more host families to help with the 200+ international performers who are coming to the 22nd Bountiful/Davis Summerfest International Art and Folk Festival, August 1 – 9.
“Housing the international guests is at once the most challenging and rewarding aspect of coordinating the festival. This cultural exchange has lasting effects on both the hosts and the guests. It is a way to connect with another culture without leaving home. Some host families view this as an exotic vacation to a different land. People who speak other languages can hone their skills. But knowing a foreign language is not necessary to be a host family. We have found that people communicate beautifully with one another in these circumstances”, says Emma J. Dugal, Executive Director of Bountiful/Davis Art Center.
Participating Groups include: Janosicek, Czech Republic; La Virondee, France; Remembranzas, Paraguay; MiDong Pungmuldan, South Korea; Tuna, Spain; Wulan Muqi, Inner Mongolia, China; Amamere, Ghana; Everest Nepal Cultural Group, Nepal
This year eight groups from just about every corner of the world will be represented. The groups are all excellent and are accompanied by live music with the exception of Nepal as their musicians were unable to obtain visas. You will see and hear some of the most exotic dance, costumes and music in the world. We are particularly pleased to welcome a group from Africa and Nepal as in the past it has been difficult for groups from these areas to obtain visas to travel to the United States. Asia, Eastern and Western Europe, Africa and South America are represented by excellent groups. The group Wulan Muqi from Inner Mongolia, China will also be performing a full length repertoire on August 3 at the Ogden Amphitheater. There will also be performances of American and Native American music and dance at Summerfest this year during the festival at Bountiful City Park, August 5-7. For more details: www.bdac.org.
If you are interested in being a host family, please contact Trixee at Bountiful/Davis Art Center, 801 292-0367 or visit us online at www.bdac.org.
Get involved in Summerfest by being a host family, volunteer, translator or just plan on visiting the festival August 5-7 at Bountiful City Park. Check www.bdac.org for more details. Summerfest is a program of Bountiful/Davis Art Center

¡Que Viva Mexico! (1931)
Saturday, August 7 at 2 pm • Utah Museum of Fine Arts • Russian with English subtitles
Famed Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein emigrated west in hopes of testing the capabilities of the American film industry. Quickly ostracized from Hollywood, Eisenstein wandered south of the border and began filming a highly stylized documentary on the volatile social climate of Mexico. Unfortunately, a lack of funds prohibited the film’s completion. In 1979, by referring to Eisenstein’s extensive notes and sketches, Grigory Alexandrov assembled the most definitive version of the film – as close to original director’s vision as one is ever likely to come.
Los Olvidados (1950)
Saturday, August 14 at 2 pm • Utah Museum of Fine Arts • Spanish with English subtitles
The winner of two Cannes Film Festival awards, Luis Buñuel's Los Olvidados (The Forgotten Ones) was the director's first international box-office success. Set in the slums of Mexico City, this haunting, fascinating film follows a gang of juvenile delinquents who cause misery to those less fortunate. Throughout, Buñuel maintains an objective tone; it is our responsibility, not his, to judge the gang members. (Excerpt by Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide)
Macario (1960)
Saturday, August 21 at 2 pm • SLC Main Public Library • Spanish with English subtitles
The first Mexican film to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Film in a Foreign Language, Macario is based on a novel by B. Traven entitled The Third Guest. Set in Colonial Mexico, the film tells the tale of an enraged peasant at the edge of starvation. His wife steals a turkey, but before Macario can eat it, he is visited by the Devil, God, and Death, all in the guise of different men.
Danzón (1991)
Wednesday, August 25 at 6 pm • Utah Museum of Fine Arts • Spanish with English subtitles
Spending the bulk of her time working and raising her child alone, Julia's life is filled with mundane grays. The only color in her life comes from her Wednesday night trips to Mexico City where she dances the Danzon with her long-time partner, Carmelo. But one night, she goes to dance and Carmelo is not there. At first puzzled, and then obsessed, she embarks upon a search that not only solves the mystery of his disappearance, but also leads her down a path of personal discovery and renewal. (Description by Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide)

CONTINUING EXHIBITIONS:
Pablo O'Higgins: Works on Paper
On view through September 19, 2010
This exhibition presents a selection of lithographs by Pablo O’Higgins, focusing on the artist’s heroic depictions of the working class in revolutionary Mexico. Although he is virtually unknown in his home state of Utah, O’Higgins is remembered and celebrated in Mexico as a true artist “of the people.” Born Paul Higgins in 1904, he attended East High School, where he took art classes from painter LeConte Stewart. The young artist was attracted to the vibrant art scene in Mexico and eventually became one of the few Anglo artists welcomed into the Mexican muralist movement.
Las Artes de México
From the Gilcrease Museum
On view through September 26, 2010
Celebrate the richness of Mexican art and culture at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts this summer. On loan from the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Las Artes de México features a broad array of artifacts such as woven fabrics, masks, and religious objects from Mesoamerica, as well as groundbreaking paintings by modernist masters like Rufino Tamayo, Jose Clemente Orozco, and Diego Rivera. All label text is available in English and Spanish.
salt 1: Adriana Lara
On view through September 26, 2010
Concurrent with Las Artes de México, the UMFA is launching an ongoing series of semiannual exhibitions entitled salt, which showcases work by emerging artists from around the world. The inaugural salt exhibition features the work of Mexico City-based artist Adriana Lara (b. 1978), whose work explores the relationship between art-making and other more commonplace forms of production. Working in a range of formats and disciplines, Lara playfully questions the boundaries that separate fine art from everyday objects.
Painting Utah’s Mount Olympus
On view through November 14, 2010
Mount Olympus is not the tallest mountain in the Wasatch Range, but anyone who has seen this awesome natural wonder will agree with the early pioneers who bestowed it with the Greek name for ‘the home of the gods.' For the past 150 years, some of Utah's most talented artists, including Lee Greene Richards, Gilbert Munger, Edwin Deaken, Anton Rasmussen, David Meikle, and others, have attempted to do justice to this silent sentinel. Through their work, the home of the gods is immortalized in Painting Utah’s Mount Olympus.
Community: Eat, Work, Play
On view through January 9, 2011
Big canvases, bold colors, and intriguing ideas are on offer in Community: Eat, Work, Play. With the help of UMFA educators, first- and sixth-graders from Lincoln Elementary School created large-scale murals that visually represent the various aspects of the title: eat, work, and play.

Universe City, in conjunction with Ogden’s FirstFriday Art Stroll, opens an exhibit poster portraits created by students completing the "Venture" program, a partnership between the Weber State University Telitha E. Lindquist College of Arts & Humanities and the Utah Humanities Council. Gallery hours are Fridays: 5:00-8:00 and Saturdays: noon-8:00 or by appointment. Private appointments can be made by calling Benjamin Jennings, 801 458-8959 or benjaminjennings@mac.com.
The purpose of this month's show, in addition to exhibiting the work of Venture students, is to bring the program to the attention of the general public and to assist in recruiting students for the coming year. More at http://www.utahhumanities.org/Venture.htm
Students taking the Venture Course in the Humanities in 2009-10 created portrait posters of each other using a combination of interviews and graphic/digital art displays. The project was designed to teach Venture students how to convert interviews into artistic portraits using the basic design principles being taught in the art history section of Venture. The portrait displays were shown at Venture graduation this April and now as a public art exhibit at Universe City. The work is used to promote the Venture outreach project of the College of Arts & Humanities, provide an art experience for the Ogden community, and introduce the public to some of Ogden’s immigrants/residents in an aesthetic, informative way.
Under the direction of Shannon Butler, Venture students created the portraits of each other by completing oral interviews and selecting material from writing portfolios that communicate unique stories and characteristics about each person. Under the direction of Elizabeth deWitte, students studied basic design principles they applied to their graphic art displays. Under the direction of the visual arts department, students attended three workshop sessions in basic graphic design education with Jeremy Stott, WSU visual art instructor and manager of the digital lab (March and April 2010).
Fall 2008 launched Ogden's Venture Course in the Humanities, a higher education outreach project for Ogden's low-income adults who lack the financial and personal resources to further their education. A nine-month college level course, Venture is designed to help students gain confidence in their academic and social abilities and, in turn, realize personal goals for improving their life's circumstances.
The Venture Course curriculum offers 22 hours of instruction in each of the following content areas: literature, critical writing and thinking, art history, American history, and philosophy for a total of 110 class hours. Participants can earn ten college credits upon completion, which may jump-start some toward further college studies.
Venture is a partnership between the Telitha E. Lindquist College of Arts & Humanities (A&H) and the Utah Humanities Council (UHC). Ogden-Weber Community Action Partnership (OWCAP) provides space where five WSU faculty teach the course's five content section offerings two evenings a week. Eighteen students graduated from Venture in April 2009 and 20 in 2010.
Recruitment for 2010-11 is now underway through direct contacts with many of Ogden's nonprofits (Ogden Adult Education, Job Corps, OWCAP, YCC, Headstart). The first 20-25 qualified applicants will attend Venture next Fall and Spring semesters.

Jim Jones Exhibit @ OC Tanner Store, Presented by SUU (SLC: Aug 2 - 21)
“Jim Jones: Recent Paintings”
Limited Showing in Salt Lake City at OC Tanner Store
(Southern Utah University, Cedar City, UT) Recent paintings by celebrated landscape artist, Jim Jones, will be on display in the newly renovated O.C. Tanner building at 15 South State Street in Salt Lake City. The exhibition, “Jim Jones: Recent Paintings,” will open on Monday, August 2, 2010 and will remain through Saturday, August 21, 2010. Store hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. The exhibit, sponsored by Zions Bank, O.C. Tanner and Southern Utah University, is free and open to the public.
Jim Jones has captured the essence of the American West and red rock country through his paintings of Zion Canyon and the Grand Canyon. Jones grew up in Cedar City and received his education from the University of Utah after studying at the Art Center in Los Angeles and UCLA. He then focused his work primarily on figure and portrait painting and for 15 years spent his winters in Mexico creating images that celebrated the local people.
After working as a winter caretaker at the Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Jones found his passion in the solitude and focus required of landscape painting and began painting the Southern Utah vistas he’d explored since childhood. Armed with no more than a canvas, brushes and paint, and crammed into the cab of his pick-up truck, Jones captured millions of years of sedimentary formations, volcanic intrusions and vegetation in more than 1,300 original paintings.
Fourteen of the eighteen pieces that will be on display during this exhibition are a gift from Jones to Southern Utah University’s permanent art collection. Plans are underway to build the Southern Utah Museum of Art (SUMA) on the SUU campus. This museum will become the permanent repository for work by Jones.
For more information about this exhibit, call the Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery at (435) 586-5432 or visit www.suu.edu/pva/artgallery. The Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery’s mission is to exhibit, collect and preserve historic and contemporary works of art significant to the interior American West. In addition, the museum hosts art exhibitions that represent the principal artistic styles and periods of world cultures.

Museum Interpretation Grants (Deadline: Sept 1)
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
Museum Interpretation Grants of up to $2000
Application Deadline September 1, 2010
The Utah Humanities Council, in partnership with the Utah Division of Arts & Museums, offers grants to Utah’s small museums for projects relating to museum interpretation. In the context of museum work, to interpret an object means to tell a story through labels, brochures, docent tours, public programming, and other means. Inanimate objects dropped into a display case cannot tell museum-goers about themselves. Instead, they need human interpreters—museum volunteers and professionals—to explain their meaning to human visitors.
Are you researching collections, writing labels and exhibit text, creating education materials, developing docent training, or planning public programs? We may be able to help!
Applications for grants up to $2000 will be accepted until September 1, 2010. Find guidelines and application forms at http://www.utahhumanities.org/Grants.htm
Questions? Contact Megan van Frank at 801.359.9670 x110.

Auditor General Completes Audit on "RAP" tax
Utah Office of Legislative Auditor General completes Audit on "RAP" Tax
During the past several months, the Office of Legislative Auditor General reviewed all the counties and municipalities that had implemented the 1/10th of 1% sales tax for botanical, cultural, and zoological organizations and recreational facilities. As part of this process, the ZAP program met with the auditors and provided applications and evaluations as requested. Some ZAP recipients were also contacted directly by the Office of Legislative Auditor General for additional information.
The audit has been completed and was presented today at the Audit Subcommittee of the Legislative Management Committee Meeting. The members of the Subcommittee (President Michael Waddoups (Chair), Speaker David Clark (Co-chair), Senator Patricia Jones and Representative David Litvack) voted to refer the audit to two interim committees: Government Operations and Tax and Revenue.
The full audit report entitled “Report Number 2010-07, July 2010, A Review of the Use and Accountability of RAP Tax Funds Statewide” can be viewed or downloaded from the following website.
http://www.le.state.ut.us/audit/newaudit.htm
The Salt Lake County ZAP program provided the Legislative Auditor General with a response to the draft document and our response is included as an addendum to the audit. Salt Lake County will follow the progress of this report as it moves through the committee process. Upon review of the report, the Government Operations & Tax and Revenue Committees may recommend revisions to the Statute that governs these funds (Utah Code 59-12-701 through 59-12-705 & 59-12-1401 through 59-12-1403).

"Only in Ogden" Exhibit Closing & Art Talk (Ogden: July 30)
This will be an unusual art talk as Bryan will also be talking about social networking (more details below)
Who: Universe City
What: An invitation to the closing of the "Only In Ogden"
slideshow and collaborative discussion about the Only In Ogden photography collection by Bryan J. Smith.
When: Friday, July 30, gallery hours 5-10pm; art talk at 7:00 pm
Please join us for the final showing of close to a thousand photos that celebrate the faces, events and community of Ogden. As part of the Universe City's annual “Portraits of Ogden” installation, this year's exhibit will close with an slideshow and collaborative discussion about the Only In Ogden photography collection by Bryan J. Smith.
One of the exciting things about this exhibit has been the integration of social networking technology, specifically the ongoing project of documenting “Only In Ogden” through shared photos on the Only In Ogden website and Facebook page. The sharing and “tagging” of people in online photographs is a fairly new practice that dramatically changes people's interactions with each other and their peripheral relationships. In many ways this new aspect of the internet has brought many of us closer together, has been the starting point for new friendships and has changed the level of what we know about each other. However, as with many new technologies and services, social networking websites also bring new issues, questions and concerns regarding privacy or lack there of.
The evening will also include refreshments and will conclude with musical entertainment. Please join us and come see how many Ogden faces and places you can recognize on the wall of the Universe City Gallery.

Free String Quartet Concert @ Utah Symphony's DVMF (Park City: July 31)
THE UTAH SYMPHONY’S EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH OFFERS A FREE STRING QUARTET CONCERT
The concert features two semi-professional quartets on Saturday, July 31
playing world premieres by two emerging composers
SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Symphony presents a free concert featuring two string quartets at St. Luke’s Church in Park City, UT on Saturday, July 31 at 1:00 pm. The participating quartets, Élan Quartet and Arneis Quartet are currently taking part in the Utah Symphony’s three-week Emerging Quartets and Composers intensive training program.
The Emerging Quartets and Composers program consists of demanding rehearsals and masterclasses with professional coaching by the renowned Muir Quartet and composer Joan Tower, a Pulitzer prize-winner. During this time, the two semi-professional quartets work on classical repertoire as well as premieres of new music by young composers Benjamin Pesetsky and Erica Ball, who also participate in the program.
During the performance, both quartets will perform a work from the standard string quartet repertoire, and then each will premiere a new work by one of the program’s young composers. The Élan Quartet will premiere Benjamin Pesetsky’s “Representations and Interpretation,” and the Arneis Quartet will premiere Erica Ball’s “w(e)aving.”
Biographies
Élan Quartet, was formed in January of 2010 and is made up of violinists Margaret Cerjan, Naomi Culp, violist Sharon Tenhundfeld, and cellist Philip Boulanger. The Quartet met as members of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, training orchestra for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and formed after performing orchestrally with one another. Each member of the quartet is a native to a different location in the United States and each has diverse musical personalities. Although a newly formed quartet, Élan is eager to gain experience performing standard repertoire as well as newly commissioned works. The Élan Quartet is enthusiastic about community outreach and plans to perform many programs in their Chicago community this Spring 2010.
The Arneis Quartet was formed in 2007 at Boston University under the tutelage of the Muir String Quartet. It is composed of violinists Heather Braun and Rose Drucker, violist Dan Dona, and cellist Agnes Kim. The Arneis Quartet has been in residence at the Banff Centre in Canada, and has attended the Juilliard String Quartet Seminar in New York City, culminating in a performance at Lincoln Center. The quartet serves as the core of the Arneis Ensemble, broadening its repertoire to include pieces for various combinations of strings, winds, piano and voice. The members of the ensemble are committed to outreach and education and are on the faculties of Boston University, the Dana Hall School of Music, Wellesley Public Schools, and the Chestnut Hill School.
Benjamin Pesetsky (b. 1989) has had works performed in New York, Boston, Chicago, and Paris by the Da Capo Chamber Players, GBYSO, Newton’s New Philharmonia Orchestra, cellist Emmanuel Feldman, and oboist Mary Lynch. In 2008 and 2009 he attended the European American Musical Alliance where a choral piece, Of Cloudless Climes and Starry Skies, was performed in the Salle Cortot, and where he studied with Philip Lasser and Michel Merlet. He began his composition studies with Howard Frazin and is currently both a philosophy student at Bard College and a student at the Bard College Conservatory of Music, where his teachers are Joan Tower, John Halle and George Tsontakis.
Erica J. Ball is a multi-talented musician from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a composer her works have been played by numerous ensembles including The Walden Players, Bard College Orchestra, Da Capo Chamber Players, Colorado Quartet, and the International Contemporary Ensemble. As a violinist and pianist Ms. Ball has performed with many ensembles including the Greenwood Orchestra, Bard College Orchestra, Contemporary Ensemble, and Chamber Ensembles, and as the violin/piano half of the new music duo hotAIRtightSTRINGS. This summer Ms. Ball’s newly commissioned work for solo piano will be premiered in August by Blair McMillen at The Stone in New York City. In May 2011 her new orchestral work, grey mo(u)rning doves, will be premiered at the Graduation Commencement Concert by the American Symphony Orchestra.
Joan Tower, hailed as “one of the most successful woman composers of all time” in The New Yorker magazine, was the first woman to receive the Grawemeyer Award in Composition in 1990. She was inducted in 1998 into the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Letters, and into the Academy of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University in the fall of 2004.
She was the first composer chosen for the ambitious new Ford Made in America commissioning program, a collaboration of the League of American Orchestras (at that time, the American Symphony Orchestra League) and Meet the Composer. In October 2005, the Glens Falls Symphony Orchestra presented the world premiere of Tower's 15-minute orchestral piece Made in America. The work went on to performances in every state in the Union during the 2005-07 seasons.
The Muir String Quartet is acknowledged as one of the world's most powerful and insightful ensembles, and is featured at major chamber music series throughout North America and Europe. The Muir String Quartet first performed in 1980 to rave reviews, won the 1981 Naumburg Chamber Music Award and 1980 Evian International String Quartet Competition, and was featured on the acclaimed PBS broadcast, In Performance at the White House. The Muir String Quartet has premiered works by esteemed American composers Lucas Foss (String Quartet #4), Joan Tower (Night Fields), and Ezra Laderman (String Quartet #9).

Élan Quartet, was formed in January of 2010 and is made up of violinists Margaret Cerjan, Naomi Culp, violist Sharon Tenhundfeld, and cellist Philip Boulanger. The Quartet met as members of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, training orchestra for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and formed after performing orchestrally with one another. Each member of the quartet is a native to a different location in the United States and each has diverse musical personalities. Although a newly formed quartet, Élan is eager to gain experience performing standard repertoire as well as newly commissioned works. The Élan Quartet is enthusiastic about community outreach and plans to perform many programs in their Chicago community this Spring 2010.
The Arneis Quartet was formed in 2007 at Boston University under the tutelage of the Muir String Quartet. It is composed of violinists Heather Braun and Rose Drucker, violist Dan Dona, and cellist Agnes Kim. The Arneis Quartet has been in residence at the Banff Centre in Canada, and has attended the Juilliard String Quartet Seminar in New York City, culminating in a performance at Lincoln Center. The quartet serves as the core of the Arneis Ensemble, broadening its repertoire to include pieces for various combinations of strings, winds, piano and voice. The members of the ensemble are committed to outreach and education and are on the faculties of Boston University, the Dana Hall School of Music, Wellesley Public Schools, and the Chestnut Hill School.
Benjamin Pesetsky (b. 1989) has had works performed in New York, Boston, Chicago, and Paris by the Da Capo Chamber Players, GBYSO, Newton’s New Philharmonia Orchestra, cellist Emmanuel Feldman, and oboist Mary Lynch. In 2008 and 2009 he attended the European American Musical Alliance where a choral piece, Of Cloudless Climes and Starry Skies, was performed in the Salle Cortot, and where he studied with Philip Lasser and Michel Merlet. He began his composition studies with Howard Frazin and is currently both a philosophy student at Bard College and a student at the Bard College Conservatory of Music, where his teachers are Joan Tower, John Halle and George Tsontakis.
Erica J. Ball is a multi-talented musician from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a composer her works have been played by numerous ensembles including The Walden Players, Bard College Orchestra, Da Capo Chamber Players, Colorado Quartet, and the International Contemporary Ensemble. As a violinist and pianist Ms. Ball has performed with many ensembles including the Greenwood Orchestra, Bard College Orchestra, Contemporary Ensemble, and Chamber Ensembles, and as the violin/piano half of the new music duo hotAIRtightSTRINGS. This summer Ms. Ball’s newly commissioned work for solo piano will be premiered in August by Blair McMillen at The Stone in New York City. In May 2011 her new orchestral work, grey mo(u)rning doves, will be premiered at the Graduation Commencement Concert by the American Symphony Orchestra.
Joan Tower, hailed as “one of the most successful woman composers of all time” in The New Yorker magazine, was the first woman to receive the Grawemeyer Award in Composition in 1990. She was inducted in 1998 into the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Letters, and into the Academy of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University in the fall of 2004.
She was the first composer chosen for the ambitious new Ford Made in America commissioning program, a collaboration of the League of American Orchestras (at that time, the American Symphony Orchestra League) and Meet the Composer. In October 2005, the Glens Falls Symphony Orchestra presented the world premiere of Tower's 15-minute orchestral piece Made in America. The work went on to performances in every state in the Union during the 2005-07 seasons.
The Muir String Quartet is acknowledged as one of the world's most powerful and insightful ensembles, and is featured at major chamber music series throughout North America and Europe. The Muir String Quartet first performed in 1980 to rave reviews, won the 1981 Naumburg Chamber Music Award and 1980 Evian International String Quartet Competition, and was featured on the acclaimed PBS broadcast, In Performance at the White House.

The three evil hyenas are played by Omari Tau (“Banzai”), Monica L. Patton (“Shenzi”) and Ben Roseberry (“Ed”). The role of “Young Simba” is alternated between Jerome Stephen, Jr. and Kolton Stewart and the role of “Young Nala” is alternated between Monique Lee and Madai Monica Williams.

ABOUT THE LION KING
THE LION KING continues to reign as one of the most popular shows on Broadway and around the world. The global phenomenon can also be seen on stage across North America and in Las Vegas, London, Hamburg, Paris and Tokyo. Now in its 13th year, THE LION KING is the eighth longest-running musical in Broadway history and one of only five musical productions in theatre history to play for ten years or more on both Broadway and the West End.
THE LION KING has been seen by more than 50 million people in 13 different countries and translated into five different languages (Japanese, German, Korean, French, Dutch).
THE LION KING has won more than 70 major awards worldwide, including the 1998 Tony Award® and NY Drama Critics Award for Best Musical, the 1999 Grammy® for Best Musical Show Album, and the 1999 Laurence Olivier Awards for Best Choreography and Best Costume Design. Julie Taymor was the first woman in theatrical history to win the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical. She is also the winner of the 1998 Tony Award for Best Costume Design.
Taymor, along with designer Michael Curry, has created hundreds of masks and puppets for THE LION KING. Scenic design is by Richard Hudson; costume design is by Julie Taymor; lighting design is by Donald Holder. Choreography is by Garth Fagan. The book has been adapted by Roger Allers, who co-directed the animated feature and Irene Mecchi, who co-wrote the film’s screenplay.
The Broadway score features Elton John and Tim Rice’s music from The Lion King animated film along with three new songs by John and Rice; additional musical material by South African Lebo M, Mark Mancina, Jay Rifkin, Julie Taymor and Hans Zimmer; and music from "Rhythm of the Pride Lands," an album inspired by the original music in the film, written by Lebo M, Mark Mancina and Hans Zimmer. The resulting sound of THE LION KING is a fusion of Western popular music and the distinctive sounds and rhythms of Africa, ranging from the Academy® Award-winning song “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” to the haunting ballad “Shadowlands.”

SALT LAKE CITY, July 20, 2010 – The College of Fine Arts at the University of Utah is pleased to announce the appointment of Stephen Koester as Interim Chair of the Department of Modern Dance, effective July 1, 2010. This appointment is in recognition of Associate Professor Koester’s significant achievements and contributions to the field of dance and to the University.

In 2008, Stephen was named a University Professor and in 2002 received the College of Fine Arts, Faculty Excellence Award in Teaching, Research and Service.

He continues to choreograph for professional dance companies including his own company Dance Koester Dance, which has presented several seasons at the Rose Wagner Center for Performing Arts in Salt Lake City. His work has been in the repertoire of the Dance Forum Taipei, Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company, Repertory Dance Theatre, Eisenhower Ensemble and Pittsburgh Dance Alloy. In 2006, Stephen received a Utah Established Artist Fellowship from the Utah Arts Council, and in 2005 won the Repertory Dance Theatre’s national “Sense of Place” choreographic competition.
Prior to coming to the University of Utah, Stephen was Co-Artistic Director of Creach/Koester, a dance company based in New York City that toured throughout the US, Canada and Europe. With partner Terry Creach, Stephen received five consecutive choreographic fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts plus a choreographic fellowship from the New York State Foundation for the Arts.
Stephen looks forward to serving the Department, College and University in his new role. Dean Raymond Tymas-Jones, who also serves as the Associate Vice President for the Arts at the University, enthusiastically welcomes Professor Koester to the Interim Chair position.

Summerfest Exhibit @ Bountiful/Davis Art Center (Bountiful: July 30 - Sept 3)
Summerfest Exhibit at Bountiful/Davis Art Center – July 30 – September 3, 2010
BOUNTIFUL, Utah, July 16, 2010- The Summerfest Exhibit at Bountiful/Davis Art Center will feature artists who will also be involved in the festival August 5-7 at Bountiful City Park. The exhibit will open with a reception on July 30 at 7pm. It is free to the public. The following artists will be part of the exhibit:
Featured Artist: Jimmy Lucero
Frida and Pancho
Salt Lake City artist Jimmy Lucero, who teaches painting and drawing at the University of Utah and Westminster College was born and raised in Santa Barbara, CA. A naturally gifted artist, Jimmy was studying oil painting from Ivan Webster by the age of 10. While completing his Associate of Arts degree at Santa Barbara City College, Jimmy was heavily influenced by his instructor Manuel Unzueta who encouraged his interest in Mexican Muralists and in figure drawing. During this time, Jimmy volunteered and taught painting at La Casa De La Raza, a center for Hispanic youths. He had no idea that thirty years later, he would be doing similar work with Hispanic youths in Salt Lake City, Utah.
During those thirty years, Jimmy obtained a B.S. in Biology from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, worked in science labs at UC Davis and Stanford University, got married and had two children, Dolan and Ginger. In 1992 Jimmy and his family moved to Salt Lake City, UT. Jimmy obtained his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in June of 2001 at the University of Utah. Upon completion of his MFA in 2003, Jimmy was awarded the Howard Clark Art Scholarship for most outstanding graduate work and has been a full-time professional artist ever since.
Jimmy grew into his present role as a social activist during the 18 months he spent researching immigration issues and producing 16 pieces for his controversial show at Art Access entitled “La Migra” which focused on the plight of undocumented workers, their families, and the construction of the wall between the US and Mexico. Director Ruth Lubbers was quoted saying “It may have been the most provocative show Art Access has hosted to date”. He has been invited to speak about his passions for art and social access at numerous forums including Kimball Art Center, “Avant-garde Artists” Culture Bytes, Black Box Theater, and Utah Museum of Fine Arts. He incorporates lectures about diversity in his teaching and introduces students to non-traditional minority and women artists.
Lucero’s passion for teaching and communicating his message of diversity and opportunity for social change don’t stop when he leaves the university campus. He volunteers every Saturday to run a “Brown Bag” figure drawing session, and provides free drawing lessons to teens through the Mestizo Institute of Culture and Arts (MICA). He has been heavily involved in the “Bridges Over Barriers” mosaic project on the I-15 underpass and was excited to participate in the recent 337 garage door “Face Off” project. He had three so far in 2010 past year including “Minute Clan” at the Kimball Gallery, the “300 Plates” show at Art Access, and the Salt Lake Art Center “Contemporary Masters” exhibit which opened in June.
“I am displaying paintings from two major groups of my work, narrative toy paintings and border paintings. My toy paintings have to do with the childhood experience of interacting with toys. Toys are made to be played with and as adults we lose that playfulness because we are too busy with our everyday lives. If we see a toy on the ground, we pick it up and put it away rather than play with it. I am putting the toys in an environment that adults can relate to, where the toys come to life. They are no longer just toys, they are telling a story.
In my border paintings, I’ve taken my artwork in a more personal direction and focus on the theme of realizing the American dream and making a better life for our kids than we had for ourselves. My paintings also make visual references about my family coming into the United States from Mexico and their struggles in becoming part of the American dream,”says Lucero.
The 2010 limited edition t-shirt design was based on a painting by Jimmy Lucero entitled ‘Undertow’.
Emerging Artist: Bobby Asay
Bobby’s painting was chosen as ‘Best of Show’ in the 2010 Davis School District High School Exhibit. He is a student at Viewmont High School. He has been taught by Roger Cushing, well known Utah artist and art educator.
Featured International Artist: Luis Jofre Pizarro, Santiago, Chile
Watercolors paintings and acrylic abstracts
Other participating artists are: Marianne Nybo, Kaysville, Janet Clark and Bettie Hyer, Bountiful, Jared Nielsen, Salt Lake City, Chris Adams, Clinton, Namon Bills and Justin Wheatley, Salt Lake City, Walt Hunter, Jesus Silva and Benjamin Davis, Salt Lake City, Brandi Bixler, Woods Cross, Lester B. Lee, Clarkston and Lamplight Art Gallery artists: Louise Shaw, North Salt Lake, Barbara Dowdle, North Salt Lake, Scott Durrant, Bountiful, Barbara Gustavesen, Farmington, Nora Del Murdock, West Jordan, and Gail VanWagoner, Bountiful.
The exhibit at Bountiful/Davis Art Center, 745 Main Street in Bountiful, continues through September 3, 2010.

KRCL and Utah Open Lands Present Hidden Hollow Concert Series (SLC: now - Sept 17)
KRCL 90.9FM and Utah Open Lands Present The Hidden Hollow Concert Series
Free, outdoors every other Friday Night through September 17
Salt Lake City, Utah- July 2010: KRCL 90.9FM and Utah Open Lands have teamed up to host a free outdoor concert series every other Friday through September 17 in the protected Hidden Hollow Nature Area in Sugar House.
KRCL General Manager Amy McDonald and Utah Open Lands Executive Director Wendy Fisher joined forces to help increase public awareness of this protected area, Hidden Hollow.
In 1990, the Kids Organized to Protect the Environment (KOPE Kids) from Hawthorne Elementary School discovered an abandoned park buried under tons of debris in Sugar House. It was to be redeveloped and the creek was going to be buried under a parking lot. The kids teamed up with Utah Open Lands to preserve the area and in 2000 UOL accepted a conservation easement to ensure that Hidden Hollow will be protected permanently.
KRCL’s music director and mid-day host, Ebay Hamilton has curated an impressive line-up of local bands whose music complements the atmosphere of the natural venue. In addition to the performances, Whole Foods Market will grill at each show and donate all profits to Utah Open Lands to help support the conservation efforts.
The series kicked off on Friday, July 9 with performances by Colin Robison and James Shook.
The schedule for the rest of the concert series is as follows:
Friday, July 23:
7 pm John Henry
8 pm Jinga Boa
Friday, August 6:
7 pm Desert Noises
8 pm TBA
Friday, August 20:
7 pm Libbie Linton
8 pm Fictionist
Friday, September 17:
7 pm Will Sartain
8 pm Salt Lake Alternative Jazz Orchestra
The Hidden Hollow Concert Series is free, outdoors every other Friday through September 17 at Hidden Hollow Nature Park, 1228 East Wilmington Avenue (approximately 2190 South).

RDT's 45th Season (SLC: Sept 30 - April 2, 2011)
RDT invites you to help us celebrate our 45th anniversary, the Sapphire Season dedicated to sustainability of RDT, the community and the earth.
Since 1966 RDT continues to be committed to finding ways to engage audiences with activities inspired by literature, poetry, music, visual arts, environment, “place” and socially relevant issues that serve to train and ignite the creative voice in people of all ages.
H2O September 30 – October 2, 2010 Jeanné Wagner Theatre 7:30 pm
H2O is a sensuous journey inspired by the rhythm of the tides and the precarious ribbon of life in the desert. Whether in lakes, rivers, oceans or swimming pools, water is the earth’s most precious and vital resource. RDT and Brolly Arts join forces to honor the beauty, the power and the sacred nature of life’s most important element. Whether it rages or seeps, evaporates or gathers, water is the source of inspiration for the choreography, exhibits and performance art. Two atoms of hydrogen joined to one of oxygen, nothing could be simpler or more important to our existence. How we use or reuse water will define the future of our planet.
The performance features Zvi Gotheiner’s GLACIER, a contemporary water ritual that imagines a future civilization coping with shrinking resources. Other works include WATERMARK by Ford Evans and Doris Humphrey’s 1928 classic, Water Study, which will be performed by members of Children’s Dance Theatre. Lastly don’t miss the return of Francie Lloyd’s The Lady of the Lake, the magical and mysterious supernatural Celtic goddess of water who will leave you breathless.
Imagine That! November 19-20, 2010 Jeanné Wagner Theatre 7:30 pm
This family friendly, narrated concert is for the young at heart who will enjoy RDT's explanation of “how things work.” Through the magic of dance, sound and light, RDT will explore atoms, molecules, States of matter, gravity, magnetism, potential/kinetic energy, momentum, life-cycles, oceans, the environment, machines, and Newton’s Laws.
Charette February 12, 2011 Jeanné Wagner Theatre 7:30 pm
Charette: The Search for RDT’s Iron Choreographer This is RDT’s sixth year of hosting this friendly competition and one night only fundraising party. Experience a night of delectable refreshments, raucous bribing with RDT funny money, witty improvisational choreography, and mingling with RDT alumni celebrity judges. This choreographer challenge must be seen to be believed. New this year the price to attend Charette is only $30 and the new start time is 7:30pm. If you would like to be involved on the planning committee for Charette please call the RDT office at 801-534-1000 or email rdt@rdtutah.org
Place: Dancing the Green Map® March 31- April 2, 2011 Jeanné Wagner Theatre 7:30 pm
A performance inspired by a Green Map® inventory of our community integrating movement, music, and multi media to praise environmental progress and encourage environmental responsibility…a celebration of Place. A unique collaboration involving choreographer Zvi Gotheiner, composer Scott Killian, RDT dancers, and the “map makers”- students K-12 whose artistic expressions help to tell our story and create a portrait of our community.
Since 1966 RDT continues to be committed to finding ways to engage audiences with activities inspired by literature, poetry, music, visual arts, environment, “place” and socially relevant issues that serve to train and ignite the creative voice in people of all ages.
H2O September 30 – October 2, 2010 Jeanné Wagner Theatre 7:30 pm
H2O is a sensuous journey inspired by the rhythm of the tides and the precarious ribbon of life in the desert. Whether in lakes, rivers, oceans or swimming pools, water is the earth’s most precious and vital resource. RDT and Brolly Arts join forces to honor the beauty, the power and the sacred nature of life’s most important element. Whether it rages or seeps, evaporates or gathers, water is the source of inspiration for the choreography, exhibits and performance art. Two atoms of hydrogen joined to one of oxygen, nothing could be simpler or more important to our existence. How we use or reuse water will define the future of our planet.
The performance features Zvi Gotheiner’s GLACIER, a contemporary water ritual that imagines a future civilization coping with shrinking resources. Other works include WATERMARK by Ford Evans and Doris Humphrey’s 1928 classic, Water Study, which will be performed by members of Children’s Dance Theatre. Lastly don’t miss the return of Francie Lloyd’s The Lady of the Lake, the magical and mysterious supernatural Celtic goddess of water who will leave you breathless.
Imagine That! November 19-20, 2010 Jeanné Wagner Theatre 7:30 pm
This family friendly, narrated concert is for the young at heart who will enjoy RDT's explanation of “how things work.” Through the magic of dance, sound and light, RDT will explore atoms, molecules, States of matter, gravity, magnetism, potential/kinetic energy, momentum, life-cycles, oceans, the environment, machines, and Newton’s Laws.
Charette February 12, 2011 Jeanné Wagner Theatre 7:30 pm
Charette: The Search for RDT’s Iron Choreographer This is RDT’s sixth year of hosting this friendly competition and one night only fundraising party.

Summerfest International (Bountiful: Aug 5 - 7)
Art, Food and Entertainment Abound at Summerfest 2010
BOUNTIFUL, Utah, July 9, 2010- Bountiful/Davis Summerfest International has received a record number of artist and food booth applications for this year’s festival. Over 70 booths featuring artists and crafters, ethnic food and children’s art stations will delight the senses at this year’s festival, August 5-7, 2010. Among them are the following:
Featured Artist: Jimmy Lucero
I am displaying paintings from two major groups of my work, narrative toy paintings and border paintings. My toy paintings have to do with the childhood experience of interacting with toys. Toys are made to be played with and as adults we lose that playfulness because we are too busy with our everyday lives. If we see a toy on the ground, we pick it up and put it away rather than play with it. I am putting the toys in an environment that adults can relate to, where the toys come to life. They are no longer just toys, they are telling a story.
In my border paintings, I’ve taken my artwork in a more personal direction and focus on the theme of realizing the American dream and making a better life for our kids than we had for ourselves. My paintings also make visual references about my family coming into the United States from Mexico and their struggles in becoming part of the American dream.
The 2010 limited edition t-shirt design was based on a painting by Jimmy Lucero entitled ‘Undertow’.
Emerging Artist: Bobby Asay
Bobby’s painting was chosen as ‘Best of Show’ in the 2010 Davis School District High School Exhibit.
Featured International Artist: Matluba Bazarova, Uzbekistan
Traditional Embroidery from Uzbekstan
Featured International Artist: Luis Jofre Pizarro, Santiago, Chile
Watercolors paintings and acrylic abstracts
In all there will be more than 70 artist and food booths and five Children’s Art Stations. Some of the fine artists include: Mike Call (Bountiful), Namon Bills, (Salt Lake City) Louise Shaw (Bountiful), Jared Nielsen (Salt Lake City), Don Jolley (Mesa, Arizona) and more. Crafters include Carma Hart Fuller, painted goards (Clinton), Chris Adams, clay (Clinton), and Ten Thousand Villages (Salt Lake City).
Ethnic food booths include Asian, Bhutanese & Tibetan, Japanese Sushi, Mexican, Greek, BBQ, Navajo, and the All American Hot Dog Booth sponsored by Bountiful/Davis Art Center and run by the Bountiful Lions Club.
The Children’s Art Stations will include activities such as printmaking, faux glass, tiles, the ever popular face painting and more.
