At its May meeting the MAB considered the recommendations of an eight-member citizen review panel and voted to award $238,000 in grants ranging from $3,500 to $7,000. MAB grants require a dollar-for-dollar cash match from other sources, and the combined budgets of the 35 selected projects this year is more than $3.48 million. There were a total of 41 eligible requests from Milwaukee nonprofit arts organizations to fund art, music, dance, arts education and other projects. “I’m always impressed by the quality work our local arts community puts forth,” said Ald. Michael Murphy, Milwaukee Arts Board Chair. “We’re pleased to be able to support their efforts.” This year marks the 27th annual grant awards. Since 1991, the Milwaukee Arts Board has awarded more than $4.95 million to 127 different organizations. Grantees will be honored by Mayor Tom Barrett, Ald. Murphy and others at a 4:30 p.m. reception June 12 at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts followed by an awards program and celebration at 5 p.m.

Michael Murphy Chair, Milwaukee Arts Board (414) 286-2074 For Immediate Release City of Milwaukee Arts Board announces 2016 Artists of the Year and Friends of the Arts Awards Della Wells and Dasha Kelly have been named 2016 Artists of the Year, the City of Milwaukee Arts Board announced recently. Thallis Hoyt Drake and Andy Nunemaker were named 2016 Friends of the Arts. They will be honored Tuesday, June 14 at a 4:30 p.m. reception in the atrium of the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts followed by an awards program and celebration at 5 p.m. Representatives of 33 city-based arts organizations who received arts board grants will also be honored. “We’re glad to shine a light on these four individuals, who have contributed so much to our entire community,” said Ald. Michael Murphy, who chairs the Milwaukee Arts Board. Della Wells is a self-taught artist who began drawing and painting in earnest at the age of 42. Her work ranges from collage and pastels to quilting. Her creative process stems from her personal experiences embellished through the art of storytelling. In 2011, an award winning play inspired by her life, '' Don't Tell Me I Can't Fly'', premiered in Milwaukee. The play was commissioned by First Stage children’s theater and written by Y York. She illustrated a children's book, "Electric Angel" by Nanci Mortimer, to be released by Wooden Nickel Press in late June.

  • Editorial and Design Principles in Precursors Of
    PRECURSORS TO THE RISE OF ENGLISH WORLD ATLASES; Theatres, Atlases, Cosmographies, Geographies, and Sets of Maps Dalia Varanka, Research Geographer U.S. Geological Survey 1400 Independence Road Rolla, Mo 65401 Tel. 573.308.3897 Email [email protected] Acnowledgement: This paper is based on doctoral dissertation research formulated under the supervision of J.B. Harley. The dissertation work was supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation and with fellowships from the John Carter Brown Library, Brown University; the Hermon Dunlap Smith Center for the History of Cartography, The Newberry Library; and the Graduate College of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The context of the rise of world atlases in England suggests that they were tied to wider scholarly and social issues covering the period of roughly 1630 through 1730. This short history discusses the cosmographical background and Continental foundations of the rise of world atlases in England, and a survey of relevant English precursors to those atlases. A risk exists of rooting definitions of atlases firmly in cartography, subsuming other defining concepts, such as scientific philosophy and social values. An alternative way to look at atlases is that they are part of the larger corpus of their other contemporary works. The word ‘atlas’ was applied to only a part of our extant corpus of bound or unbound collections of maps of the world made in late seventeenth- century England. A more frequent term is "set of maps," (or Tabularum Geographicarum). ‘Geography’ is also used. Bound sets of maps, which are called Atlas Factice, are almost never called atlases by their makers or producers.
