SOURCE: San Francisco Controller’s Office, December 2012 6 Grants for the Arts Programs Annual Grants to San Francisco Arts Organizations The foremost goal of Grants for the Arts (GFTA) is to provide a stable, dependable base of support for the City’s arts and cultural organizations that meet its funding criteria . In fulfilling its mission of “promoting the City through support of the arts,” GFTA annually funds non-profit arts and cultural organizations that help promote San Francisco as a destination for regional, national and international visitors . Grants for the Arts is committed to supporting the broadest spectrum of the San Francisco arts community . GFTA’s relationship with the City’s non-profit groups is quite unique in terms of national municipal support of the arts . This is because funding is not linked to specific projects or productions . Instead, the annual grant program is designed to provide a consistent source of funds for general operating expenses . Grants for the Arts funding levels are determined on a progressive basis with smaller budget organizations receiving a larger percentage of their budgets and larger groups a smaller percentage from the Fund . San Francisco’s largest cultural institutions are given important sustaining funds in recognition of their world-renowned artistic contributions and economic importance to the City . The majority of the funds (nearly 70%) goes to the small and midsize organizations of all disciplines and cultures . On the following pages is the list of non-profit arts and cultural organizations that received Grants for the Arts annual support for the 2012–2013 Fiscal Year . 7 Chhandam Chitresh Das Dance Dancers’ Group A multi-service dance Company The Chitresh Das Dance organization featuring local dancers’ Dance Company, one of the world’s leading works; serves as fiscal sponsor for local Kathak dance companies, tours artists, publishes a dance newsletter and $1,495,650 internationally, presents new and administers an emergency assistance traditional works and international fund .

  • Civic Center Plaza Flagpoles Historical Background
    Civic Center Plaza Flagpoles Historical Background Preceeding Events The flagpoles were installed during a period of great nationalism, especially in San Francisco. The Charter of the United Nations was signed in 1945 in the War Memorial Hall Building (Herbst Theatre); while the War Memorial Opera House, and other local venues were host to the two-month-long gathering of global unity. There were some 3500 delegation attendees from 50 nations, and more than 2500 press, radio and newsreel representatives also in attendance. (United Nations Plaza was dedicated later, in 1975, on the east side of the plaza as the symbolic leagcy of that event.) World War II was still in the minds of many, but a more recent event was the statehood of both Alaska and Hawaii during 1959, which brought thoughts of the newly designed flag to the fore, especially to school children who saluted the flag each morning. With two new stars, it looked different. And finally, John F. Kennedy was elected preident in November 1960; he was the youngest president ever elected bringing a new optimism and energy to the country. The Pavilion of American Flags Although all of the flagpoles seen today were in the original design, there does not seem to have been a specific theme for what the many staffs would display. The central two parallel rows containing a total of 18 flagpoles, known as The Pavilion of American Flags, flank the east-facing view of the Civic Center Plaza from the mayor’s office. An idea was presented that would feature flags which played an important role in the nation’s history.

  • Opera As Politics the Troubled History of San Francisco’S War Memorial Opera House
    LETA & MILLER Opera as Politics The Troubled History of San Francisco’s War Memorial Opera House ABSTRACT This article describes the troubled, politically fraught path to the realization of San Francisco’s War Memorial Opera House, the first municipally owned operatic performance venue in the nation. Although envisioned prior to the 1906 earthquake (in which the two most important opera houses in the city were de- stroyed), the realization of an innovative concept in which the people of the city would found and maintain an opera house took a quarter century to materialize. Supporters of the idea ascribed to the common sentiment of the time that classical music had an “elevating” and “ennobling” potential to “uplift” the poor and create a more responsible citizenry, but opera’s historic association with wealth and elitism counteracted these argu- ments and blocked progress on the building until at last, in the 1920s, San Franciscans raised $2 million in direct contributions and voted for a $4 million bond issue. KEYWORDS: San Francisco Opera, War Memorial Opera House AN FRANCISCO’S War Memorial Opera House, the first municipally owned operatic performance venue in the United States, opened with great fanfare in October S 1932. The 3,200-seat hall continues to the present day to provide a home for the San Francisco Opera and the San Francisco Ballet and, until the erection of the Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall in 1980, also served as the venue for the San Francisco Sym- phony. The path to the building’s realization, however, was torturous, obstructed by road- blocks, attacked with vituperative rhetoric, and derailed by political maneuvering over the course of more than two decades.
