  • State District Organization Name Discipline / Field City Project
    State District Organization Name Discipline / Field City Project Description Fiscal Year Grant Amount To support the re-translation from the French of the 512-line poem "The Young Fate" by French poet Paul Valery. T.S. Eliot was convinced that, more than Rilke or Yeats, Valery (1871-1945) would remain "for posterity the representative poet of the first half of the 20th century." His influence on other poets is well-documented, among them John Ashbery, Wallace Stevens, and J.D. McClatchy. Yet, "The Young Fate," widely considered one of the more important poems in the last 100 years, is little known in the MD 0 Balbo, Ned Literature Baltimore 2017 $12,500 U.S., in part because the best existing English translation is difficult to obtain, and the best American versions are outdated. Originally published in 1917, it presents a young woman standing outside on a starry night, overlooking the ocean, contemplating her connection to time, death, and the natural world. This retranslation will come in time to celebrate the poem's centennial, and will include an introduction, notes, and a brief biography of Valery. MD 0 Dickinson, Elizabeth Literature Baltimore N/A 2018 $25,000 To support the retranslation of Latin and Greek lyric poetry from the 7th century B.C.E. to the 1st century C.E. in one comprehensive anthology. Featuring between 25 and 50 master poets from Archilochus to Martial—including well-known classical poets such as Sappho, Ovid, and Horace—this 448-page anthology of lyric poetry will offer a multiplicity of voices and personalities from different times and places (epic poetry, by MD 0 Childers, Christopher Literature Baltimore 2018 $12,500 contrast, is more objective, panoramic, and mythical).

  • Second Place 2010 Abell Award in Urban Policy
    Second Place 2010 Abell Award in Urban Policy MARYLAND ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICTS: A PROCESS EVALUATION AND CASE STUDY OF BALTIMORE Cailin McGough Paul Messino Johns Hopkins University Institute for Policy Studies Masters in Public Policy Program The Abell Award in Urban Policy is presented annually to the student who writes the most compelling paper on a pressing problem facing the City of Baltimore and feasible strategies for addressing it. This award is co-sponsored by The Abell Foundation and the Johns Hopkins Institute for Policy Studies. Acknowledgments This research grew from the prior analysis we conducted as part of the 2008 Fall Baltimore Policy Project at John Hopkins University’s Institute for Policy Studies. We gathered subsequent interviews, observation and research for this paper through May 2010. We would like to thank Dr. Sandra Newman for the impetus to investigate the revitalization taking place in Station North and for her continued support. In addition, Dr. Curtis Ventriss provided insight that guided our research and Bonnie Wittstadt of John Hopkins University’s Milton S. Eisenhower Library aided us in the creation of A&E district maps. We would also like to thank David Bielenberg of Station North Arts and Entertainment Inc., Chris Ryer and Hillary Chester of Southeast Community Development Corporation, and all of the artists, residents, business owners and other stakeholders in Baltimore’s A&E districts who contributed to this report. Pamela Dunne of the Maryland State Arts Council and Jesse Rye of the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies provided valuable background information. We want to emphasize that this analysis is not meant to evaluate the program's impact or assess district "success." Rather, our scope is limited to the design of tax credits and the extent to which they are being used, with findings based on available data and interviews focusing on Baltimore's districts.
