Closing Remarks Abel Lopez, Chair Americans for the Arts Board of Directors and Robert L. Lynch Greetings from the Board Chair and President

We are pleased to welcome you to the 2013 Americans for the Arts National Arts Awards. It is altogether fitting that we take time each year to celebrate the extraordinary achievements of those individuals who are devoted to enriching our country’s cultural landscape, via their own indelible artistry or committed leadership.

Each of our honorees—and each one of you in the room tonight—shares with us a dedication to advancing the arts and arts education in America. They realize that the arts are connectors. Connectors to our own potential by igniting a creative, bold, and innovative mindset, and connectors to people in the communities where we live and the places where we work. In fact, the connector word “and” says it all—the arts and economic prosperity. . .the arts and healing. . .the arts and better performing students. . . the arts and community revitalization. . .the arts and cultural diplomacy. . . .

Tonight’s event delivers a snapshot of how America is made better through the arts and its myriad connectors. We thank you—the artists and the of the arts— for once again letting us tell that story. 2

Abel Lopez Robert L. Lynch Chair, Board of Directors President and CEO 3 The National Arts Awards Chair

Dear Friends of Americans for the Arts,

I’m happy to once again welcome each of you to the National Arts Awards, the annual salute to some of our country’s most stellar artists and arts leaders by Americans for the Arts.

Our featured artist this year is Will Cotton, whose take on our culture’s iconography via sugar and sweets surrounds us tonight. Will has joined us at this event in years , and I’m so grateful that this year he is not only here with us, but that we have the pleasure of being surrounded by his magical candy forest.

The incomparable B.B. King receives our Lifetime Achievement Award this year—I recently read that Mr. King has played more than 15,000 performances during his long and distinguished career. Beyond his own considerable achievements, think of how many other musicians and artists he has influenced. The mind boggles!

Influencing and inspiring others is also the lifelong work of Alberto Carvalho, and he is doing it as the superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools, our nation’s fourth largest school system, where he uses the arts to help increase student 4 achievement. That strategy has particular resonance for me as a proud product of the public school system of Orange County, CA. It was a public high school course in art history that ignited my own lifelong passion for the visual arts and my dedication to arts education, so I personally understand the power of what an early introduction to the arts can do.

In the tradition of the philanthropy award’s namesakes, another couple who has turned their personal success story into one that inspires others through their generosity is Mary and John Pappajohn from Des Moines. A singular example is demonstrated by their gift of an ever growing sculpture collection in their hometown, which now graces a four-and-a-half acre downtown city park named in their honor. Just weeks ago, a commissioned work by Ólafur Elíasson was added to the already remarkable collection of work by some of the world’s most celebrated artists. The National Arts Awards Chair

Sometimes we actually get to see young actors grow up on the screen, and this has been the case with Dakota Fanning, who receives the award named for my family’s foundation. She is now 19, but many of us first discovered her at the age of seven in , playing opposite and earning a Award nomination. She has been praised by some of the best in and television. She has three opening soon and her continued career is one that we all greatly anticipate.

Finally, the Outstanding Contributions to the Arts Award goes to sculptor Joel Shapiro, who has also previously joined us at this event. He has truly been an American ambassador of art abroad, creating pieces for the American Embassy in Ottawa, and for the consulate in Guangzhou, China, as well as exhibiting his work far and wide. His view of art contributing to a dialogue between cultures is one I think we all share and deeply believe in.

I would like to thank all of my co-chairs this evening. Edye and Eli Broad have given steadfast sponsorship of our award for individual philanthropy, and similarly, Isabella and Ted Dalenson for the lifetime achievement award. The four of them set the bar very high when it comes to supporting Americans for the Arts and our 5 country’s artists and arts organizations. I would also like to acknowledge the hard work of our other co-chairs Sarah Arison, Julie and Edward J. Minskoff and Carolyn Powers.

We remain grateful to each of you here tonight, especially the benefit committee and my colleagues on the board and staff of Americans for the Arts. I extend my thanks to the honorees for allowing us to acknowledge their contributions—it’s a privilege to again chair this event.

The Bell Family Foundation Young Artist Award

To advance the arts in any discipline, we must continuously embrace the new. And that’s why we believe it is so important to recognize young artists at the National Arts Awards.

Our involvement with Americans for the Arts reaches back to when we first began attending the awards ceremony in 2002 and were so impressed to see a nationally prominent event where visual artists were honored alongside artists from all other disciplines. The awards further distinguished themselves in our minds because Americans for the Arts is committed to recognizing artists who not only excel at their craft, but also represent the best of citizen advocates, using their prominence to help causes which further enrich our communities and our nation. The fact that Americans for the Arts expressly honors young artists in addition to those more established “lifetime” achievers is something that meshes completely with our own interests.

Our longstanding commitment to young people and arts education, as well as to Americans for the Arts, on whose board Maria sits and for which she chairs the National Arts Awards, makes the naming of this award a perfect match for us. We couldn’t be more delighted to know that Dakota Fanning is the fourth recipient 20 of the award named for our family foundation.

Eli and Edythe Broad Award for Philanthropy in the Arts

We have been blessed with extraordinary success, and we were both raised in families where we were taught that it is important to give back. Our philanthropy has proved to be harder work than running two Fortune 500 companies. But it has been immensely rewarding.

We started The Broad Foundations to advance entrepreneurship for the public good in education, science, and the arts—and the arts hold a special place for us.

We have collected art seriously since the 1970s when we first purchased a Van Gogh ink drawing. Eventually, we moved on to contemporary art for the simple reason that we enjoyed talking to the artists, whose view of the world broadened our perspectives. Our support of the arts is driven by the desire to make art accessible to the broadest public.

At a time of limited resources and competing priorities, we need to make a case for the arts. We are fond of saying that civilizations are not remembered by their bankers, lawyers, and accountants, but by their artists and architects. The arts play a critical role in our society, as both a creative and economic engine.

We commend Americans for the Arts for its leadership in making the national case for private and public arts funding. The collective investment we make in this country, fusing government and philanthropic dollars to fund the visual and performing arts, is an extraordinary hallmark of American artistry. 21 We couldn’t be more pleased to lend our name to this award in recognition of those philanthropists who share our beliefs. Tonight we commend and congratulate Mary and John Pappajohn for their extraordinary leadership in the arts, particularly in their home state of Iowa and the city where they make their home, Des Moines.

We encourage all of you to take advantage of the unlimited opportunities to get involved and make a difference. The needs are significant, but the personal satisfaction and rewards are extraordinary.

Isabella and Theodor Dalenson Lifetime Achievement Award

We have both been delighted to be engaged with Americans for the Arts via Ted’s board membership and to attend the National Arts Awards these past eight years, serving as co-chairs for six of them.

As art collectors, we are very interested in the historical perspective and the influence of contemporary art and architecture on our society, and that is why we are so pleased to lend our name to the award for lifetime achievement. This honor has been bestowed each year since the inaugural event in 1996, and it has gone to recipients from every arts discipline and to such luminaries as opera singer Beverly Sills, the choreographer Paul Taylor, architect Frank O. Gehry, the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin, actor/director Robert Redford, and painter James Rosenquist.

We couldn’t be happier to have the award bearing our name this year presented to blues icon B.B. King.

22 Isabella Dalenson Theodor Dalenson CONGRATULATIONS to this year’s National Arts Awards honorees 23 and to Americans for the Arts for keeping the arts alive across our nation.

In conjunction with Columbia University’s Teachers College, YoungArts developed a Study Guide based on the series, which is distributed free to schools nationwide to help increase arts education and awareness. A special thanks to Superintendent Carvalho for supporting the development of the Study Guide and ensuring its distribution in all Miami-Dade junior and high schools. 27 28
