McGinn urges patrons to donate during the Seattle Foundation’s annual GiveBIG campaign, which happens each May.

GiveBIG is one day each year that arts organizations use to maximize the donations they receive. The event is hosted online, through the Seattle Foundation’s website. Donors can give to specific organizations within the Seattle Foundation’s network. The program began in 2011, as a 24- hour online campaign designed to SEASONAL EXHIBITS raise money for various community organizations.

Seattle is in a fortunate position to be generally well-equipped to weather budget cuts by way of the White House. “The city of Seattle’s Office of Arts and Culture has seen its budget increase significantly, thanks in large part to the 1% for Arts plan, and the admission of tax surpluses propelled by the likes of Chihuly Garden and Glass and the Great Wheel,” says McGinn.

In the early 1970s, Seattle established a comprehensive system for assuring that creativity would remain a part of civil life in perpetuity. The city instituted the progressive 1% for Art ordinance, which has since become a model other cities have replicated worldwide. The proposal stipulated that, noted a Seattle Times article at the time, "All requests for appropriations for construction projects from eligible funds shall include an amount equal to one (1) percent of the estimated cost of such project for works of art" and that those monies would go for the "selection, acquisition, and/or installation of works JUNE 30 & JULY 1 of art to be placed in, on, or about A LIVE PRESENTATION OF public facilities.” In 2015, McGinn notes, the city invested 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY $3 million to support more than 360 individuals and institutions.

In New York, ticket sales to Broadway shows alone gross $1.37 billion. Zachary Whittenburg, Communications and Engagement Director for Arts Alliance Illinois, summarizes it this way: for every dollar the federal government puts into arts organizations via the National Endowment for the Arts, the arts and culture sectors puts nine dollars back into the national economy.

The pattern holds up locally, too. ArtsFund published "An Economic Impact Study of Arts, Cultural and Scientific Organizations" in 2014. Polling 313 non-profits in King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish counties, the report found that non-profit cultural organizations generate $2.4 billion for the state economy, supporting over 35,000 jobs, not including volunteers. The study revealed 1.18 million volunteer hours logged for central Puget Sound arts groups, done by approximately 29,000 volunteers. A separate study, done in 2014 by Independent Sector, estimated that each volunteer hour is worth $27.54; a value of $32 million.

8 ENCORE STAGES level. < CHANGING SEASONS

Welcome to the final show of our 2016-2017 season. To say the least, the year behind us has been unpredictable and tumultuous and challenging on many levels. But together we move forward. The production you’re about to see is one that I’ve wanted to revisit and expand upon for twenty years, since I first produced it in the parks for Wooden O in the late 90s. This all-singing, all-dancing A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a celebration of all things theatre, from the classic Broadway era to classical Shakespearean drama. It’s a perfect way to wrap up our season. And as we’ve seen, while you cannot predict the outcome of events, you can do your best to lay the groundwork for a satisfying future. To that end, I am more excited about the collection of works Seattle Shakespeare Company will be presenting in our 2017-2018 season [page A-7] than any other I’ve had the fortune to program. I’m a huge fan of Bob Dylan, and I took inspiration from a Dylan quote, “power and greed and corruptible seed,” as the jumping off point for this season. The plays explore politics and ambition, authority and marginalization, economic influence, and the clash of principles and practicalities. Oh, and love! And there’s also a bit with a dog. First comes our annual summer sojourn to the regions parks with our Wooden O productions [page A-9]. You’ll enjoy the sparkling comedy of Much Ado About Nothing and the poignant odyssey of Pericles at a park near you. In September, Shakespeare’s political thriller Julius Caesar examines the seductive nature of power. Bureaucracy, corruption and human fallibility take a farcical turn in October with The Government Inspector. Nikolai Gogol’s outrageous comedy will be our first foray into Russian theatre. At the turn of the New Year, our first-ever production of Timon of Athens explores the limits of what wealth can buy. In the spring, money, class, religion and oppression are an explosive combination in Shakespeare’s dangerous comedy, The Merchant of Venice. The season wraps up with a fun and frothy tribute to theatre craft: a stage adaptation of the Oscar winner Shakespeare in Love. This play is for all the movie fans, the Shakespeare fans, and the Shakespeare movie fans, or those who like “love, and a bit with a dog.” It’s an ambitious undertaking for Seattle Shakespeare Company, but we couldn’t be more thrilled to bring it to you. So, for this season going out and the one to come, another quote from Shakespeare in Love is a perfect way to sum things up. “The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster…Strangely enough, it all turns out well . . . It’s a mystery.” I hope you’ll share the mystery with us. Jasmine Jean Sim and Rudy Roushdi in The Winter’s Tale, Sylvester Kamara and Alexandria Tavares in Medea, Mari George Mount, Nelson in Bring Down the House, and Tom Dewey and Arjun Pande in The Taming of the Shrew.

The first time Romeo leans in to kiss Juliet, the ooohs, aaahs, and whoops tumble from the Franklin High School audience onto the stage. Teachers, wanting their students to be respectful, hiss soft “shhshes,” but, the truth is, the actors encourage these responses. They feed off that buzz, and they believe the audience’s involvement makes the performance feel even more authentic. They like it when students yell “Don’t do it,” when Romeo begins to drink the poison. When Lady Capulet spits at Juliet, the audience gasps and murmurs. At one performance an audience member yelled out, “No!” when Mercutio was stabbed. “This is how it was for Shakespeare,” said Arjun Pande, who plays Mercutio. “Actors toured around the countryside and performed for the masses. The audiences were part th of the productions. We look at our audiences like they are our 12 man.

You’ve spent your life accumulating wealth. And, no doubt, that wealth now takes many forms, sits in many places, and is managed by many advisors. Unfortunately, that kind of fragmentation creates gaps that can hold your wealth back from its full potential. The Private Bank can help.

The Private Bank uses a proprietary approach called the LIFE Wealth Cycle SM to ­ind those gaps—and help you achieve what is important to you.
