The IACA advances its mission to build a strong, creative, and connected Illinois through the arts with resources and opportunities designed to nurture emerging ideas and to sustain artistic excellence. IACA programs, partnerships, and collaborative efforts achieve benefits of widespread and unique value to Illinois citizens. The IACA is a business that builds economic vitality and advances the quality of life in Illinois by promoting an encouraging atmosphere for creative artists to live and work, and by providing catalytic support to build strong communities. Through investments in small businesses, cultural organizations, schools, and individual artists, the IACA supports economic development throughout the state. Hired by the Board, a staff with in-depth knowledge of the arts develops and administers IACA grant programs, provides technical assistance, and facilitates the responsible and impactful distribution of funds. The IACA interacts with Federal, State, and local governments and entities in national conversations on arts, culture, and education. RESOURCES The IACA received GRF appropriation in FY19 & FY20 across three program areas: Creative Sector, Arts-in-Education, and Underserved communities. The IACA budget also included line items for Arts & Culture, Public Radio and Television (PRTV), the Illinois Humanities (IH), and the Arts & Foreign Language (AFL) Program which is implemented in partnership with the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). Annually, the demand for IACA support is greater than the funds available and all programming dollars are fully committed. The IACA participates in a competitive process to receive Federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) which can only be used by the state arts agency. NEA funds are designated to address the priorities of the IACA, to advance arts education, to foster ethnic and folk arts programming, and provide support for unique opportunities. The NEA provides additional dollars to implement Poetry Out Loud, a national recitation contest for high school students. FY State (GRF) Federal (NEA) Total Revenue 2019 $12,896,800 $855,500 $13,352,700 2020 $13,414,200 $863,000 $13,842,800 RESULTS Coming into Fiscal Year 2019 the Illinois Arts Council Agency continued its focus on revitalizing Agency programs impacted by the State budget impasse. During this time vacant positions were filled within the Agency while statewide partnerships were reestablished and work towards a new Strategic Plan began. The IACA measures its impact through the Budgeting for Results (BRF) principles that ‘strengthen cultural and environmental vitality’. Among the successes that the IACA can celebrate in Fiscal Year 2019 and 2020 include: 2 Illinois Arts Council Agency Biennial Report FY2019- 2020 ARTS EDUCATION SUPPORT • Through the StARTS programs the IACA supported short-term residencies, welcoming applications from schools and community organizations for learners of any age. • Through the Arts & Foreign Language program, districts received funding for the development of an instructional strategy and multi-year support to implement public school curriculum and instruction. With good statewide distribution, this investment is equalizing access to quality education and will have long-term impact on students’ learning. • Through Operating Program Grants in the discipline of Arts Education, the Agency advanced arts learning by supporting the organizations that are cultural partners with schools, provide out-of-school instruction, collaborate with educators, and expand the skills for artists to be effective resources. • The Individual Artist Support: Professional Development Track supported the on-going development of artistic skills with non-matching funds for residencies, workshops, and symposia. • The Ethnic and Folk Arts Master/Apprentice program preserved traditional arts by supporting the direct transfer of technique from a master artist to a novice dedicated to learning the art form. • The Illinois Arts Council Agency worked closely with Arts Alliance Illinois and the State of Illinois to adopt the Illinois Arts Leading Standards. The updated learning standards took effect in the 2018-2019 school years. These standards reflect best practices and identify what is important for students to understand about dance, media arts, music, theatre, and visual arts. RURAL AND UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES In recent years the Illinois Arts Council Agency actively worked to strengthen the connection with underserved communities from around the state. The Agency defines underserved communities as those in which individuals lack access to arts programs due to geography, economic conditions, ethnic background, age, or disability. To accomplish this, the Illinois Arts Council Agency has invested time and resources into the Local Arts Network; a professional learning community which provides numerous online resources to guide developing groups. The Local Arts Network is particularly helpful to those in isolated regions. The Agency worked with the Network in the following ways: • Through the Operating Program Grant, the Illinois Arts Council Agency supported Local Arts Agencies to enable local government or community organizations to act as center points of cultural activity and resources. • Community Arts Access funding provided regranting dollars to Local Arts Agencies and required that 30% of those funds be directed to underserved communities. Program decisions were made locally. • Development of a Local Arts Network website was supported through an Illinois Arts Council Agency Special Project grant. The website allows Local Arts Agencies to connect with one another and to apply for Professional Development Scholarships. • In partnership with the Local Arts Network, the Illinois Arts Council Agency created an initiative that works directly with underserved communities to bolster existing arts programming in a way that would allow for state and federal funding. The first community visited in Fiscal Year 2020 was East St. Louis. Over a six-month period, a town hall meeting was held to assess the needs of local non-profit cultural arts groups. A workshop on grant writing was held for the numerous organizations in the region, and the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation accepted the designation of Local Arts Agency to disperse Illinois Arts Council Agency Community Arts Access funding throughout the region. 3 Illinois Arts Council Agency Biennial Report FY2019- 2020 The Illinois Arts Council Agency is also working to strengthen support around the state for individuals living with a disability. Activities of significance in this area include: • A full assessment of the Agency’s website and written materials to ensure accessibility and compliancy with all ADA requirements was maintained. • In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Illinois Arts Council Agency announced a new partnership initiative with the Chicago Cultural Accessibility Consortium in the creation of the Illinois Cultural Accessibility Network (ICAN). This new partnership creates a community of Illinois-based cultural arts groups with the united goal of working together in making the cultural arts accessible to everyone. As of now, 51 organizations from throughout the state have agreed to join the network. RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC • The IACA assisted in distributing $525,800 in National Endowment Cares Act funding. To have the largest impact with the limited funds, the Agency distributed these dollars to arts organizations below a $500,000 operating budget threshold with a focus on rural communities

FREE ADMISSION Dear friends, Last fall, Third Coast Baroque’s debut series ¡Sarabanda! focused on examining the African and Latin American folk music roots of the sarabande. Today, we will be following the paths of the chaconne, passacaglia and other ostinato rhythms – with origins similar to the sarabande – as they spread across Europe during the 17th century. With this program that we are calling Groove!, we present those intoxicating rhythms in the fashion and flavor of the different countries where they gained popularity. The great European composers wrote masterpieces using the rhythms of these ancient dances to create immortal pieces of art, but their weight and significance is such that we tend to forget where their origins lie. Bach, Couperin, and Purcell – to name only a few – wrote music for highly sophisticated institutions. Still, through these dance rhythms, they were searching for something similar to what the more ancient civilizations had been striving to attain: a connection to the spiritual world.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

    Fiddler Liz Carroll doesn't hide her exuberance for Irish music | Music | Kentucky.com Page 1 of 3 Kentucky.com Fiddler Liz Carroll doesn't hide her exuberance for Irish music By Walter Tunis — Contributing Music Writer Posted: 8:24am on Mar 1, 2012; Modified: 2:20pm on Mar 1, 2012 Liz Carroll says that even after 30 years, she is fascinated by the emotion of Irish music. There is an animation that surfaces when Liz Carroll is speaking that often reflects the spirited tone of her playing. She is one of today's most celebrated torchbearers of traditional Irish music (she is America-born of Irish parentage), and her fiddle music bears confidence, precision, no modest level of speed when the occasion calls for it and, above all, a bountiful sense of Celtic abandon. http://www.kentucky.com/2012/03/01/2090222/fiddler-liz-carroll-doesnt-hide.html 3/10/2012 Fiddler Liz Carroll doesn't hide her exuberance for Irish music | Music | Kentucky.com Page 2 of 3 All kinds of musical alliances have promoted and benefited from her work: from traditionally inclined alliances with Trian, String Sisters and especially two extraordinary albums with fellow fiddler John Doyle (including 2009's Grammy-nominated Double Play), and collaborations with non-Irish-inclined stars Don Henley and Yehudi Menuhin. But the very exuberance that has ignited Carroll's recordings for more than 30 years positively erupts in conversation. There is no trace of an Irish accent as she talks, but there is no mistaking the heritage that has longed fueled her music.

  • WQPT Quad Cities PBS Western Illinois University – Quad Cities
    WQPT Quad Cities PBS Western Illinois University – Quad Cities Current Year Fiscal Year 2015 WQPT Quad Cities PBS, a public media service of Western Illinois University embraces the core values of academic excellence, educational opportunity, personal growth and social responsibility. As a public television station focused on lifelong learning we extend the reach of WIU into the community. While we work to further the Higher Values in Higher Education strategic plan, we are in our second year of a three-year balanced scorecard framework for station planning. Throughout this report, we will highlight the ways that the goals of the station’s strategic plan both deepens our partnership with the campus community and fits into the overall University strategic plan. I. Accomplishments and Productivity for FY 15 A. WQPT FY15 goals and objectives The station turned its attention to leadership development, and took steps to refresh and reinvigorate its Community Advisory Board. A new charter was adopted in October, which defined board terms and the role of the CAB. In January, four new board members were seated. The station also held a series of three community leaders’ summits in January and February to collect information about the community value of WQPT and its ability to support it. This information will be folded into the station’s strategic planning process and helps inform its priorities through the balanced scorecard. Throughout this report, how the station is tracking against the outcomes-based performance metrics articulated in the balanced scorecard will be noted. The station continued its focus on two priority themes for programming and outreach, utilizing its resources to make a difference in the community around Early Childhood and the second year of the initiative named Embracing Our Military.
