Sonny Ochs (Schoharie County) Sonny is best known for the “Phil Ochs Song Nights” and organizing events that preserve the music of her late brother, Phil Ochs, whose songs of protest galvanized activists in the 1960’s. Her devoted efforts have helped keep this music alive to inspire us in the daunting years to come. Through Sonny’s efforts as a musicbproducer, radiobhost at WIOX, and Phil Ochs Song Nights, she has given opportunities to many musicians and songwriters. Her radio show includes discussions and interviews with artists andbpeople interested in the arts. Bybgiving these artists the chance to perform, she has helped to keep the art of topical songwriting alive and well for the people in our area. Through her radio program, “The Not So Quiet Music Series”, and volunteering at numerous folk festivals, she has been instrumental in giving breakout moments to young artists. Sonny continues to present world-class singer songwriters to Schoharie County residents and visitors. (Photo, courtesy sonnyochs.com.) Michele Saunders (Greene County) Born and raised in Paris, France in a strict catholic school, Michele Saunders was a Trail blazing rebel from day one. She was fascinated with America—Elvis Presley, James Dean, rock ‘n roll, R&B, Motown—as well as the world of art, fashion, music, and movies. While recuperating from a serious ski accident at 18, she decided to move to America. One year later, she started studying at Mount Holyoke College on a Fulbright Scholarship. After a Kennedy look-alike husband in Illinois, a short-lived career as a French teacher, a Porsche, a Dutch boyfriend in Amsterdam, a divorce, another Porsche, and moving back to Paris, Ms. Saunders met John Casablancas, the founder of Elite Model Management, and began a career in scouting and managing talent. When she moved to New York City, she also started representing some of the world’s most innovative fashion and art photographers, and illustrators, including Steve Hiett, Art Kane, David Hamilton, Jacques Malignon, Uwe Ommer, Pater Sato and Dan Rinaldi, giving Saunders a first-row seat to cutting-edge creators in the fashion industry. She also worked for years in the music industry, styling photography shoots and musical performers, including Elton John, Diana Ross, Billy Idol, Luther Vandross, Pink and others. Her love of music led to the discovery of Paradise Garage, a dance club in New York City that changed Ms. Saunders’ life. Through the people she met there, she befriended Patricia Field, had her son Zachary (Ms. Field is his godmother), lived for a while in Miami, and eventually moved to Catskill, NY. Michele Saunders’ attitude towards fashion can be summed up as follows: “Once it’s trendy, I’m bored.” Her advice for designers is to remember that what they’re making is not just art. “It needs to be worn. So it has to have a certain feeling of comfort, and like you can also make it your own by wearing it different ways.” Another criteria: “You should always be able to dance in what you wear.” And for aspiring fashionistas, Saunders has this to say, “Fashion is an expression. It’s not to disguise yourself. It’s not to appear what you’re not. Let go, and feel proud of who you are, but within the parameters of style and elegance and something artful. Also, you wear the outfit. Don’t let the outfit wear you.” Now 75, Ms. Saunders’ writes for the fashion and art magazine Document and is considered a specialist in “street casting” – the art of spotting diverse and urban fashionistas who create their own unique styles, something she started doing for Calvin Klein, Jean Paul Gaultier and other major fashion brands. Her real passion is finding and connecting the best talents, helping people find their dream homes, and continuing to produce events that shine the light on Catskill. (Photo Credit Adam Deen) Claudia Bruce & Linda Mussmann (Columbia County) Linda Mussmann founded Time & Space Limited / TSL in 1973 in New York City and Claudia Bruce joined as co-di- rector in 1976. During their 20-plus years in the city, Linda and Claudia collaborated on 60 or more new works for theater performance based on Linda’s writing and Claudia’s ability to perform the texts. Linda not only wrote but also directed the productions and designed the lighting and sets. Claudia “translated” the texts into movement and sound and assisted with development and production. Their collaborations were performed in TSL’s storefront on 22nd Street and in other places including the Merce Cunningham Studio, Riverside Church, Marymount College, Whitney Museum of Art, La Mama E.T.C., and alternative spaces and galleries throughout the city. The work toured throughout the US and in Europe, Canada, and Denmark. Several works were recorded as “Hörspiel” for German radio. In 1991, TSL refused a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts that mandated an anti-obscenity pledge. That particular event, combined with rising costs in NYC, ledbthem to search for a new home and, eventually, to relocate TSL to Hudson, NY. When LindabandbClaudia fi rst walked into what would become the new TSL workspace on Columbia Street, they knew it was a dream come true. Finding a space that could house the many facets of their artistic lives, has given them the opportunity to continue producing their original theater performances and also to build a space that has evolved to include indie, documentary, classic movies, satellite transmissions from around the world, workshops for young people, art and music presentations, forums on timely issues, literary gatherings for poets and writers, and much more. For the past 26 years, LindabandbClaudia have slowlybandbsurely renovated what was once the localbbakery – one space atba time, one projector at a time, one program at a time, and, along the way, have created a unique home for the arts, open to everyone. The development of TSL in Hudson has been accomplished with the hard work and dedication of TSL staff and a host of special friends, members, businesses, and foundations who have put their trust and funds behind the vision that guides Linda and Claudia. From the days of screening 16mm movies with one projector, where members and visitors brought their own cushions tobsoften the hard wooden pews, to the multi-use rooms and twobtheater spaces of today which are outfitted with state-of-the-art digital and HD projectors and surround sound, Linda and Claudia have provided an ingenious blueprint of how to establish and maintain an arts space that continues to inspire and challenge its community. The passion that Linda and Claudia have channeled into TSL is fi rmly based on the belief that art is the force that brings us togetherbandbempowers us to make change in our lives and in the world around us.

The purpose of the County Initiative Program (CIP) is to provide general operating or programmatic support from the Greene County Legislature to major Greene County arts and cultural institutions that offer quality professional services and programs of benefi t to the residents of Greene County. The Greene County Council on the Arts (GCCA) has administered this fund since its establishment in 1983. CIP funding is intended to promote the development, growth and viability of major Greene County organizations. With invaluable support from the Greene County Legislature, these goals continue to be met, producing a positive impact on the state of the arts and quality of life in Greene County. Greene County organizations receiving funds from state and federal agencies, including the New York State Council on the Arts, should apply to this fund. Organizations applying through our Decentralization Community Arts Grants may not apply to this program.

Additional requirements are as follows:

• Organizations must be a legally established not-for-profi t whose assets do not benefi t private individuals and have an active Board of Directors. • Organizations must have been resident in Greene County for at least two years. • Organizations must provide regularly scheduled or full season cultural programs and/or services in Greene County. • The annual operating budget is generally in excess of $20,000, including in-kind contributed services and goods.
