WESTAF fulfills its mission to strengthen the financial, organizational, and policy infrastructure of the arts in the West by engaging in arts policy research and state arts agency development; developing innovative programs, services, and technology solutions; and supporting programming for artists and arts organizations. WESTAF regularly convenes experts and leaders around critical issues affecting the arts and cultural policy. Historically, the organization has been funded by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). In addition to NEA funding, today WESTAF is significantly supported through an array of technology-based earned-income programs. Founded in 1974 as a project of the Western Governor’s Association, WESTAF is now an independent nonprofit organization. Located in Denver, Colorado, WESTAF serves the largest geographical area and number of states of the six U.S. regional arts organizations. WESTAF’s constituents include the state arts agencies, artists, and arts organizations of Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawai’i, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. WESTAF remains committed to the improvement of the capacity and quality of the public funding of the arts by the state arts agencies of the West. Position papers, advisory research, and professional development services are regularly provided to these agencies. WESTAF is also an experienced technology developer and has originated and now manages seven distinct online projects that benefit the arts and creative industries. As a progressive and evolving organization, WESTAF initiates new programs and projects regularly and is proud to have artists and arts administrators on staff. Hawai’i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts The Hawai’i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (HSFCA) was established by the Hawai’i State Legislature in 1965, in large part through the vision and effort of Hawai’ian leaders such as architect and State Planning Coordinator Alfred Preis, HSFCA Founding Chairperson Masaru “Pundy” Yokouchi, State Senator Nadao Yoshinaga, and Governor John Burns. The mission of 8 the HSFCA is to promote, perpetuate, preserve, and encourage culture and the arts as central to the quality of life of the people of Hawai’i. The Art in Public Places (APP) program was created to strengthen the capacity of the Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts to stimulate, guide, and promote culture and the arts through the visual arts. The APP program seeks to: “Enhance the environmental quality of state public buildings and spaces throughout the state for the enjoyment and enrichment of the public; cultivate the public’s awareness, understanding, and appreciation of visual arts in all media, styles, and techniques; contribute to the development and recognition of a professional artistic community; and acquire, interpret, preserve, and display works of art expressive of the character of the Hawai’ian Islands, the multicultural heritage of its people, and the various creative interests of its artists.” Forecast Public Art Forecast Public Art fosters dynamic, inclusive, and resilient communities through public art, community-engaged design, and transformative placemaking. For 40 years, it has improved the collective life of communities through a unique combination of responsive consulting services; one-to-one support for public artists; and abundant resources, including Public Art Review, the world’s leading public art journal. Forecast Public Art was one of the country’s first nonprofit organizations dedicated to advancing the field of public art. Today, it remains at the forefront of public art practices, connecting the energies and talents of artists with the needs and opportunities of communities to improve our collective lives. Public art plays a crucial role in shaping culturally vibrant and sustainable communities and offers opportunities for community collaboration, for ideas to shape the environment, and for influencing change. 9 Introduction to the 2017 Symposium on the Future History of Public Art Lori Goldstein, Manager, Public Art Archive, WESTAF WESTAF’s 17th cultural policy symposium, The Future History of Public Art, brought together a diverse group of public art professionals and allied practitioners who traveled to Honolulu, Hawai’i, November 5-7, 2017, to discuss the critical

    UTK Tower: Marshall Prado, 2018–19 UDRF Fellow Executive Summary The Columbus, Indiana community continues to demonstrate that the best way to have an authentically great place to live is through the process of working together with shared values and clear goals. Engaging excellent designers and relying upon a thoughtful process to build new buildings, landscapes, artworks, or reuse existing ones is a key part of our history. After more than seventy-five years, this tradition has created what we hold dear today: an internationally-recognized collection of architecture, art, and design that has become a defining characteristic of the community and the core of this city’s identity. Heritage Fund — The Community Foundation of Bartholomew County launched Landmark Columbus Foundation (LCF) in 2015 as one of its key programs to ensure that Columbus’ traditions and investments in design excellence are well cared for and can remain a source of inspiration for future generations. With the support of many in this community and those around the state and country, Heritage Fund’s program quickly became a community asset making a big difference through Exhibit Columbus and many progressive preservation efforts. 1 Executive Summary Bartholomew County Courthouse: Isaac Hodgson, 1874 In late 2019 Heritage Fund supported the move of this program to become a stand alone 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, with the mission to care for, celebrate, and advance the cultural heritage of Columbus, Indiana. At the start of 2020, the inaugural Board of Directors of LCF met to move the mission forward, and with dedicated staff, volunteers, and collaborators, this organization has made great progress and is poised for continued success far beyond today.

    2018 Artist Roster Fariba Abedin Houston, TX I have always been fascinated by the beauty of nature and its integral parts, colors, and geometry. The geometric shapes and the rich colors of Persian tile works appeal to me. The architecture and structures of the most unique domes in the mosques and their unparalleled mirror works still mesmerize me, reminding me of my childhood. My work emphasizes exploration of color using geometric abstraction as my foundation. www.faribaabedin.com Our work is usually characterized by a strong profile, a sense of humor, and Actual Size Artworks excellent craftsmanship. We are especially dedicated to works that change as a Stoughton, WI viewer walks past, creating a sense of discovery and keeping up interest upon www.actualsizeartworks.com repeated viewing. Adela Andea Houston, TX Formally, my work has a very distinctive style and it presents original and cutting edge ideas. I create light installations and light sculptures using the latest technologies in the industry and a variety of materials that suit my vision for each installation. I believe that the vibrant energy and the unique aesthetics of my work will bring liveliness, color, and brightness to any site in the Houston area. www.adelaandea.com Bennie Flores Ansell Houston, TX I realize the ethereal nature of my work does not lend itself to favorable long-lasting public art installations. However, I have been printing images of the light projections on dye infused metal which can be printed very large and are very moveable as well as permanent. Most recently, I started working with a laser cutter and a 3-D printer that will allow for new and sturdy presentations of my work and ideas.

  • When Was Columbus Modern? the Word “Modern,” According to Webster's Means “Of, Related To, Or Characteristic of the Pres
    When was Columbus Modern? The word “modern,” according to Webster’s means “of, related to, or characteristic of the present or immediate past.” And yet the modern architecture and design for which Columbus, Indiana is justly famous, was inaugurated by Eliel Saarinen at the First Christian Church in 1942! (Visitors will know the building from its gridded façade and 166 foot, geometric tower.) Other modern buildings in Columbus include the glass-framed Irwin Union Bank (now Irwin Conference Center) by Eero Saarinen (64 years old), and the red brick and concrete Cleo Roger Memorial Library by I.M. Pei (49 years old). The designer Paul Rand’s iconic, dancing C’s logo for the Columbus Visitor’s Center from 1974 just turned 44! Are these buildings and designs still modern, or should they be called old, or middle-aged? Modern architecture began in Europe during the first decades of the 20th Century. It was called modern because it served new needs, was up-to-date in engineering, and didn’t resemble anything that came before. This was intended to be a style- less architecture that responded only to purpose or need. Some of the key names associated with it are the Swiss Le Corbusier and the Germans Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe. The latter’s famous catchphrase “less is more” (actually first used by Mies’ teacher, Peter Behrens) summarizes the belief of the modernists that the best architect is the one who designs least, and who permits function to dictate form. In the United States, modern architecture and design wasn’t fully embraced until after the second world war, when a new, national confidence permitted a broad jettisoning of historical forms and traditions.
