Our findings, the culmination of a peculiar sort of fiscal archaeology, confirm that conviction. Sifting through dozens of local and state spending accounts, we found that a significant portion of the billion the state spends each year in taxpayer-supported economic development programs — a system of grants, sub- sidies, tax abatements and incentives, loans, bonds, and direct outlays — is giving Michigan one of the nation’s worst cases of sprawl.

The Michigan Council for Arts & Cultural Affairs is thrilled to serve as your host for NASAA Assembly 2016. We want to ensure that you have a great time while you stay in our great state. You will be visiting Michigan’s west side and the community of Grand Rapids, historically known for its contributions to design, and furniture making in particular. West Michigan is home to companies such as Steelcase, Haworth and Herman Miller – it is often said that there isn’t an uncomfortable chair anywhere in Grand Rapids. While that may be something of an exaggeration, it isn’t an exaggeration to say that this is a high-quality “maker community,” and you will see that in everything from the arts to the beer! The maker culture together with a highly walkable downtown make Grand Rapids an ideal setting for NASAA Assembly 2016. The locale strikes the perfect balance of excitement, comfort and creativity conducive to rich learning experiences during the day and fun entertainment in the evening.

  • Oasis/Mirage: Fantasies of Nature in Las Vegas*
    _______________________________________________________ 2002, in Nature and its Discontents from Virgin Land to Disney World: Reinterpretations of Freud's Civilization Thesis in the America(s) of Yesterday and Today. Ed. B. Herzogenrath. New York: Editions Rodopi ________________________________________________________ Natasha Dow Schull Oasis/Mirage: Fantasies of Nature in Las Vegas* I had the great fortune of arriving in Las Vegas at dawn in an airplane. It was light enough to see the city and part of the desert, but it was still dark enough so that they hadn't turned the signs off for the day. I never saw such a sight in my life. It looked like an entire city was lurching across the desert. It was an incredible movement! I rented a car and started driving and I saw an extraordinary thing: the horizon, the skyline, was not made of trees and it was not made of buildings. It was all signs. Tom Wolfe (in Stern 1979:11) The towns of the desert end abruptly; they have no surround. And they have about them something of the mirage, which may vanish at any instant. You have only to see Las Vegas, sublime Las Vegas, rise in its entirety from the desert at nightfall bathed in phosphorescent lights, and return to the desert when the sun rises, after exhausting its intense, superficial energy all night long, still more intense in the first light of dawn, to understand the secret of the desert and the signs to be found there: a spellbinding discontinuity, an all-enveloping, intermittent radiation. Jean Baudrillard (1989:127) Almost everyone notes that there is no “time” in Las Vegas, no night and no day and no past and no future; neither is there any logical sense of where one is.

  • STANLEY Mckay
    STANLEY McKAY Considered one of the most enterprising actor/managers during the first three decades of the twentieth century by his Australian contemporaries, Stanley McKay was one of the first showmen in the 20th century to tour pantomime around Australia and New Zealand using tents as his theatre space (this being some five years prior to Philip Lytton). The Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton) notes in an article on McKay in 1971, that his "memoirs are studded with the names of the great ones in Australian stage life over more than half a century" (n. pag.). Those he was closely associated with include: Sir Ben Fuller, Walter Bentley, Edward Carroll and George Birch, Kate Howarde, Harry Clay, George Wallace, Jim Gerald, John Cosgrove, Nellie Ferguson and her mother Helen Furgus, Frank Neil and Nellie Stewart. Among the numerous tributes accorded McKay during his extraordinarily long career as a showman are two particularly frequent comments - that he had a seemingly inexhaustible energy level and that his good nature was such that he never lost a friend. McKay's popularity as a manager can also be seen by the length of time that the various members of his companies stayed with him - even under the harshest of travelling conditions. 1879-1908 Stanley McKay was born Henry Stanley McKay in the southern NSW highlands township of Tumut (NSW) on 9 October, 1879. Educated at the local public school, he developed an early love of drama, particularly Shakespeare. A few weeks after completing his schooling he moved to Sydney to take up a position with the Bank of Corporal Stanley McKay New South Wales.
