  • Objectivity, Interdisciplinary Methodology, and Shared Authority
    ABSTRACT HISTORY TATE. RACHANICE CANDY PATRICE B.A. EMORY UNIVERSITY, 1987 M.P.A. GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY, 1990 M.A. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- MILWAUKEE, 1995 “OUR ART ITSELF WAS OUR ACTIVISM”: ATLANTA’S NEIGHBORHOOD ARTS CENTER, 1975-1990 Committee Chair: Richard Allen Morton. Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2012 This cultural history study examined Atlanta’s Neighborhood Arts Center (NAC), which existed from 1975 to 1990, as an example of black cultural politics in the South. As a Black Arts Movement (BAM) institution, this regional expression has been missing from academic discussions of the period. The study investigated the multidisciplinary programming that was created to fulfill its motto of “Art for People’s Sake.” The five themes developed from the program research included: 1) the NAC represented the juxtaposition between the individual and the community, local and national; 2) the NAC reached out and extended the arts to the masses, rather than just focusing on the black middle class and white supporters; 3) the NAC was distinctive in space and location; 4) the NAC seemed to provide more opportunities for women artists than traditional BAM organizations; and 5) the NAC had a specific mission to elevate the social and political consciousness of black people. In addition to placing the Neighborhood Arts Center among the regional branches of the BAM family tree, using the programmatic findings, this research analyzed three themes found to be present in the black cultural politics of Atlanta which made for the center’s unique grassroots contributions to the movement. The themes centered on a history of politics, racial issues, and class dynamics.

  • Cultural Arts Master Plan, Vol 2
    o o o City of Decatur Cultural Arts Master Plan: DRAFT Report 2. Capital Needs Survey Results Lord Cultural Resources • 12 Facility Needs Survey Decatur Cultural Arts Master Plan Survey of Performing Arts Facility Needs A key issue that serves as an impetus and motivator for the development of the plan concerned a potential need for performance facilities (and related spaces for rehearsal and production) in Decatur. The Beacon Hill Arts Center has served a very important function for many years, providing a home to visual artists, dance companies, theater organizations, a chorus and rental space to individual arts teachers, organizations and other practitioners. Within the context of the public sessions and meetings held to inform the Cultural Arts Master Plan, many community members (including artists and arts groups) expressed desire for space to accommodate more cultural activity, whether it be via existing vacant space that could be adaptively re-used or new construction in partnership with developers, the City or Agnes Scott College (Though it is important to note that the community seems to be well-aware that there is little available land in Decatur for such a project.) While the desire for new space was clear, the potential demand for space on the part of artists and arts groups was not. As a result, the consulting team developed and issued a survey to better understand who needs space, the kinds of activities that they require and how often they might use different types of facilities. The web-based survey was distributed to a list of more than 100 artists and arts groups developed with support from local arts groups and City staff.
