  • Columbus Landmarks Foundation “The Spirit of Neighborhoods: Culture Walks” Quarterly Grant Application Narrative
    Columbus Landmarks Foundation “The Spirit of Neighborhoods: Culture Walks” Quarterly Grant Application Narrative 1.What do you plan to do? Columbus Landmarks Foundation (CLF) in collaboration with Columbus Public Health (CPH) will create a pilot program, “The Spirit of Neighborhoods: Culture Walks,” to supplement their existing Art Walks & Landmark Talks walking program. The Culture Walks will document, interpret, and convey the heritage and culture of four smaller neighborhoods within the larger neighborhoods of Near East, Near South, Merion Village, and Highland West. The Culture Walks will be based on stories and history from local residents. Humanities scholars will help to create a broad framework of nationally significant themes (i.e. Industrialization, immigration, urbanization, migration, etc.), providing context to understand local history and residents’ individual experiences. Both CLF staff and local residents will host the Culture Walks, the culminating activity, for a larger general audience in early fall 2017. Each tour will be 90- minutes in length, as opposed to the regular 60-minute weekday Arts Walk tours and will be held on a weekend afternoon in autumn 2017 at the convenience of the neighborhood. Each of the four neighborhoods represents a diverse and varied history in the development of the city and because of its geographic location. All are affected by opportunities and displacements, crossroads and boundaries—the National Road, Route 23, railroads, land grants, annexations, redlining or restrictive covenants. Nineteenth and early twentieth century settlement patterns continue to affect neighborhood thinking even after collective memory fails. Immigration, urbanization, industrialization, migration often deals with difficult or painful history, especially in neighborhoods that have been marginalized by segregation and discrimination.

  • 15 Years of Research, More Than 30 Studies
    Greater Columbus Arts Council Ticket Fee Proposal to Columbus City Council The Greater Columbus Arts Council’s Ticket Fee proposal is for a 7% fee on admissions and tickets in the city of Columbus, with 70 percent of the funds to be reinvested by the Arts Council back into the community in the form of grants to nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and artists, and 30 percent used for critically needed capital improvements for Nationwide Arena, a public facility in the center of a major Columbus business and residential neighborhood. Two key exemptions recommended by the Arts Council after holding a series of public forums include: Tickets and admissions priced $10 and under at for-profit and nonprofit live arts and sports venues. Live performances and events at for-profit and nonprofit venues with occupancy of 400 or less. The full details of the proposal and accompanying research can be found at: www.gcac.org/impact-of-the-arts/columbus-ticket-fee-proposal/ This proposal is good for the city and people of Columbus because: Non-profit arts and culture and professional sports and entertainment attractions are major reasons Columbus has grown and thrived as a premier community. These dynamic sectors are responsible for thousands of jobs, billions in economic benefits, endless opportunities for children and families, and critical energy for our quality of life. But, additional public investment is needed to prevent the erosion of quality offerings and facilities for these two vital sectors – and to keep them working to produce all the economic, educational and quality-of-life benefits for our community.

We are all part of the whole, connected to the community. In short, we are kin. We must hold fast to that united sense of kinship through kind and generous acts that bring joy in the face of uncertainty and fear. 1 A MESSAGE TO THE COMMUNITY Dear friends, We write the introduction to this report at a time of myriad and epic crises in America. There is a new legacy map in the making, and how we respond will define our generation. For this work, we bring both a compass and a calling. We have no idea of what will land on the shoreline of tomorrow, but we are ready to respond. We understand that, as ancient Greek text reads, eternal vigilance is the price of liberty (and, we might add, health and justice). We can’t rest on an amazing 75-year track record as an organization, for, as Aldous Huxley once said, “Experience is not what happens to you, it’s what you do with what happens to you.” FROM LEFT: Douglas F. Kridler, President and CEO, and Dwight E. Smith, 2020 Governing Committee Our 75th anniversary celebration Chairman.

    Listen for the If the beat catches you, If the beat snatches you ... ; . Turns your insides round about, •~. Turns your one heart inside out ... That's jazz, Ladies and gentlemen ... That's jazz!!!!! Anna Bishop from her book Dedicated Poetry © 1987 / TO THE FUTURE... In thinking about the dedication for this project we pondered about Thelbert and Judy, whose fate we pray will not befall any others in our midst, or ''Rusty" Bryant whose unflagging spirit gave hope to all who knew him, or Earl Hood, who gave the project depth with his willingness to share his wealth of information, or Eddie Beard, who battled sickness to be with us at the premiere of the first edition, or Ronnie Kirk, who became "Rah­ saan" in a dream. Oh yes, and what about Archie Gordon, who "Stomped" his way to fame, or Christine Kittrell, who was wounded in Viet Nam, or Jean­ nette, who sang her first solo at the age of five ... Somehow, no matter how rich or emotional the past is, it is the future for which this book is intended. The book is a gift to the people who, through genera­ tions to come, will learn about and appreciate the contributions of Columbus based artists through this effort. So, to the future .. may one child be touched, may his or her life be changed by the contributions included in this book. May just one child learn to play or stand up and sing and the effort will have been worth all of the years of work. C.LWatkins In 1942, the Mt.
