ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30335-0300 TEL (404) 330-6100 Kasim Reed MAYOR October 18, 2011 Greetings Constituents and Friends: The city of Atlanta’s Office of Cultural Affairs (OCA) continues to serve as a valuable asset to the cultural vitality of the city. Citizens and visitors to Atlanta benefit from the cultural connections and artistic identity that brings us all together to enjoy the heart and soul of this great city. During these difficult times for the arts economy, the Office of Cultural Affairs remains steadfast in its passionate approach to programming, education and the arts. Such cultural exposure encourages creative thinking, increased scholastic aptitude and a greater sense of self confidence in our youth. During 2010-2011, the OCA launched the Culture Club: An After School Experience to provide Atlanta school children with music, drama, art instruction and tutoring at three designated cultural centers—Gilbert House, JD Sims Center and South Bend Center for Art & Culture. The launch of such an innovative program has given more than 60 Atlanta students a diverse outlook on their communities and their role in our society. In addition to afterschool programs, the Office of Cultural Affairs ensures that everyone within the city experiences the vibrancy of Atlanta through programs like: • ARTSCool, which provides Atlanta teens an opportunity to work as apprentices under the instruction of noted local artists; • the Chastain Arts Center, which offers art instruction to children and adults; • Contracts for Arts Services, which provides grant funding to local artists and arts organizations; • the Cultural Experience Project, a program that ensures Atlanta Public Schools students receive exposure to a broad range of premiere cultural venues and programs within the city; and • Public Art Program, which ensures that our city’s landscape reflects its cultural character; • the Atlanta Jazz Festival, which has been the nation’s largest free jazz festival for 34 years. Arts and culture offer economic contributions to our communities, give an eclectic range of citizens and friends a creative form of expression, and can transform talented children into notable artists. As we chart our course for the future, we must remember the role that arts and culture have on our communities and our economy. On behalf of the city of Atlanta, the OCA staff and volunteers, I hope you will join us in becoming an active participant in our city’s arts community. Sincerely, Kasim Reed THE COMMISSIONER CITY OF ATLANTA 233 PEACHTREE STREET HARRIS TOWER, SUITE 1700 G E O R G E D USENBURY , I V ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303 K A S I M R EED COMMISSIONER (404) 546-6788 DEPARTMENT OF PARKS, RECREATION MAYOR AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS website www.ocaatlanta.com Greetings Friends and Supporters: Once again we are proud to report on the achievements of the Department’s Office of Cultural Affairs (OCA). The City of Atlanta Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs (DPRCA) is committed to improving the quality of life for Atlanta’s citizens and visitors and works diligently to maintain a dynamic cultural landscape. The Office of Cultural Affairs continues to provide Atlanta with innovative cultural programs and activities that not only feed the soul but also benefit our great city. During the 2010‐2011 Fiscal Year, DPRCA proudly brought the 34th Annual Atlanta Jazz Festival, one of the oldest and largest free jazz festivals produced in the United States, to the people of Atlanta by working diligently to secure funding from outside sponsors and grants. The Atlanta Jazz Festival has long been an important part of Atlanta’s culture and we have already begun preparations to make the 35th Anniversary one of the hottest events the City of Atlanta will produce. In addition to Performing Arts, the OCA continues to manage several successful projects throughout the year. Culture Club: An After School Experience was launched during this past fiscal year and celebrated great success with popular dance, theater, and music programs operating at all three designated sites: Gilbert House, JD Sims Center and South Bend Center for Art & Culture. ARTSCool (a summer apprentice program for Atlanta’s youth) also celebrated another successful year employing Atlanta teens within an art apprentice program and the City celebrated numerous additions to the Public Art landscape of our parks and attractions. Contract for Arts Services supported arts organizations and individual artists throughout the city through grant opportunities, The Atlanta Cyclorama celebrated continued success as a unique education destination and the Cultural Experience Project successfully provided Atlanta Public Schools students (grades K‐12) with unique educational experiences through exposure to the arts. None of this would be possible without the support of Mayor Kasim Reed, City Council, City Administration, Neighborhood Planning Units, partnerships and generous donors. The accomplishments highlighted in this Annual Report are the outcome of City teamwork, sound leadership and a dedicated staff. On behalf of the department, I congratulate the Office of Cultural Affairs for being instrumental in creating an eclectic tapestry of art and culture for the citizens and visitors of Atlanta. Many thanks to all of you for contributing to the success of the DPRCA.

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.

  • The Atlanta Preservation Center's
    THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S Phoenix2017 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies ust as the Grant Mansion, the home of the Atlanta Preservation Center, was being constructed in the mid-1850s, the idea of historic preservation in America was being formulated. It was the invention of women, specifically, the ladies who came J together to preserve George Washington’s Mount Vernon. The motives behind their efforts were rich and complicated and they sought nothing less than to exemplify American character and to illustrate a national identity. In the ensuing decades examples of historic preservation emerged along with the expanding roles for women in American life: The Ladies Hermitage Association in Nashville, Stratford in Virginia, the D.A.R., and the Colonial Dames all promoted preservation as a mission and as vehicles for teaching contributive citizenship. The 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Piedmont Park here in Atlanta featured not only the first Pavilion in an international fair to be designed by a woman architect, but also a Colonial Kitchen and exhibits of historic artifacts as well as the promotion of education and the arts. Women were leaders in the nurture of the arts to enrich American culture. Here in Atlanta they were a force in the establishment of the Opera, Ballet, and Visual arts. Early efforts to preserve old Atlanta, such as the Leyden Columns and the Wren’s Nest were the initiatives of women. The Atlanta Preservation Center, founded in 1979, was championed by the Junior League and headed by Eileen Rhea Brown.

Iddunicipal ^sdudito PROGRAM Program Notes by Dr. Malcolm H. Dewey OVERTURE TO TANNHAUSER..................................................Richard Wagner (1813-1883) Had Richard Wagner capitalized upon the success of his first grand opera, Rienzi (1842), he might have gone on to be another Meyerbeer, but possibly little more. For here was opera which succeeded by the brilliance of the spectacle and the music rather than through intrinsic merit. It matters little that he failed to repeat the success in the Flying Dutchman, which followed within a year; a new Wagner was in evidence, certainly in more than embryonic state. Tempted though he was to return to historic subject matter so as to repeat the success of Rienzi, and he was actually at work on material dealing with Manfred, he turned to German legendary past, the Germany of epic and story, the world of the Minnesingers, and Tann- hauser, presented in 1845, was the outcome. As Wagner related the story, Tannhauser, who once loved the chaste Elizabeth, had found his way to the grotto of Venus.
