Planning The Second
10-Year Arts Education Plan for LAUSD


CALL FOR
PARTICIPANTS



A COMMUNITY INVITATION
Deadline: May 1, 2009


The Los Angeles Unified School District 10-Year Arts Education Plan 1999-2009
LAUSD has been a national model and leader in the development and reinstatement of a comprehensive arts education for all students in dance, music, theatre, visual and media arts. Since 1999, the LAUSD Board of Education’s resolution has served as the hallmark for establishing a proper sequential curriculum in the arts, highly skilled teachers, arts professional development, communication and evaluation strategies.

Planning Participant Invitation
The 1st 10-Year Arts Education Plan was commenced as a community and district project to provide voice and leadership from inside and outside public education. The 2nd 10-Year Arts Education Plan reconvenes in similar fashion with even broader constituency groups, but with the information and knowledge of a highly successful first decade of arts implementation and access. Participants from a broad spectrum of the community are invited to nominate themselves or others to serve in a year-long planning process, guided by professional facilitators.

Planning Process Timeline
January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010 -- Planning Period: July 1, 2009 to December 30, 2009

Planning Process, Responsibilities & Commitments
Seven informant groups including generalist teachers, arts teachers, major cultural institutions, post-secondary and pre-service institutions, arts organizations, city and county service agencies, administrators, arts experts, the general public, and parents will meet in a series of meetings to examine data, explore ideas, identify current and future needs, and make recommendations for the structure of a 2nd 10-Year Arts Education Plan. Participants must be willing to attend all meetings, have reviewed all briefing materials, work collaboratively, and provide focused leadership. Time commitment will not exceed 30 hours total. Sub-release coverage will be available to participating LAUSD teachers.
As a voice for planning members, each informant group will select a chair as spokesperson for cross-convening conversations/presentations.

Planning Outcomes
At the conclusion of the planning process a set of consensus recommendations will be developed into a Plan Proposal. Included will be system procedures, goals and objectives and a draft operational plan for presentation to the Superintendent and the Board of Education.

Deadline for Submission and Criteria
Deadline is May 1, 2009. Criteria for selection is based on experience, diversity, and breadth.

Internships in the Arts Available

125 Paid Summer Internships in the Arts Available through the Los Angeles County Arts Internship Program

Los Angeles County, through its Arts Commission, has given grants totaling $500,000 to 95 performing, literary, media and municipal arts organizations throughout Los Angeles County to support paid internships for college undergraduates in summer 2009.

Descriptions of and contacts for the 125 internship positions are posted on the Arts Commission's web site. Go to: LA Arts Commission, click on Internships, then 2009 Internship Positions.

Eligibility requirements for the internships have been expanded in 2009. Graduating seniors who complete their undergraduate degrees by September 1, 2009 are eligible, as well as undergraduates. Applicants must have completed at least one semester of college by June 2009 and be currently enrolled (full-time) in a community college or a four-year university. Applicants must be a resident in and/or attending school in Los Angeles County.

Interns are paid $350 per week, for 40 hours a week, for 10 weeks and take part in educational and arts networking activities. Through the program, interns gain a deeper understanding of the work involved in nonprofit arts administration and the role of the arts in a community, and develop business skills that can be put to use in their future careers. Internship host organizations help mold and shape potential new workers in the arts field who may go on to arts leadership positions on staffs, boards or as volunteers.

Interested undergraduates should apply directly to the organization offering the internship, not the Arts Commission. General information on the internship program is also available at:

Arts Community Partnership - GONE

Devastation Through Our LAUSD Contract

Several years ago while at a performing arts conference for those who present and create arts for youth, I realized that the rest of the country thinks of the LA Unified School District (LAUSD) as a leader, specifically for its unique partnership of professional arts companies that are integrated into the goals of the state educational mandates. The Arts Community Partnership Network (ACPN) that has nurtured so many young students while encouraging selected arts organizations to partner with the district has come to a grinding (and probably final) halt. Watching it slip away while our entire school scheduling was frozen was agonizing, knowing that every day that passed since mid December would be harder and harder to make up as activity after activity had to be cancelled.

California Visions Artist Residency

The Alliance of Artists Communities needs your help in letting talented yet under-recognized California visual artists know about the 2009 "Visions from the New California" residency award. Funded by The James Irvine Foundation, the purpose of this multi-year project is to identify and support highly talented, yet under-recognized artists who represent the new demographics of California. Six artists will be chosen to receive a one-month residency, to take place in 2010, at one of the six participating California residency programs, as well as an unrestricted $4000 stipend. The artists' residency experiences will later be documented in a publication designed to assist their careers and publicize the artist residency opportunities available to all artists.

Please note that there is a June 1, 2009 postmark deadline.

Please forward and circulate these materials widely.

Please note that this year interested artists can, if they prefer, APPLY ONLINE at

http://www.visionsfromthenewcalifornia.org.

We ask that you share this information with talented visual artists whom you feel would most benefit from a Visions residency. Applicants must be California residents, not students, and they must not have previously been in residence at any of the participating sites: 18th Street Arts Center, Djerassi Resident Artists Program, Exploratorium, Headlands Center for the Arts, Kala Art Institute, and the Sally and Don Lucas Artists Programs at Montalvo Arts Center. Additionally, applicants should have been awarded no more than one previous residency, have not had extensive solo exhibitions at galleries or museums, and have not received any major grants or fellowships for individual artists. While artists living and working in the San Francisco and Los Angeles metropolitan areas are eligible, we are especially interested in identifying artists from other parts of California. If there is a particular artist whom you feel should receive an individual invitation to apply from us, kindly provide us with his or her name and contact information, and we will gladly do that. This multi-year project will have lasting effects on the participating artists as well as the residency programs, which will be better equipped to reach out and serve previously untapped artistic talent. We hope that
you will embrace this opportunity to help us recognize and assist a number of talented artists.

Thank you for your help!

Sincerely,
Russ Smith Development & Program Manager Alliance of Artists Communities
