Perla Batalla will help Reno’s Artown kick off its summer of entertainment in Thursday’s bash downtown. Artown makes for a summer of fun By Mel Shields Bee Correspondent

Published: Sunday, Jun. 26, 2011 - 12:00 am | Page 10I

Reno’s Artown begins 32 days of entertainment Thursday evening with its usual big party.

The McKinley Arts Center is the starting point with family activities on the lawn, including face painting for up to 300 children.

At 7 p.m., the MarchFourth Marching Band leads the parade to the downtown Wingfield Park. With stilt walk- ers, hula-hoopers, a complete brass section and drum corps, the MarchFourth crew is always very popular and highly flamboyant.

It’ll be followed by a free concert by Perla Batalla, the Grammy-nominated Mexican American songstress and backup singer for Leonard Cohen. Then MarchFourth continues the festivities at the Knitting Factory at 10 p.m.

[ 6 ] 2011 Final Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Beyond Our Expectations

To say that Artown’s Sweet 16 was incredible is an understatement! A celebration that included 32 unforgettable days and nights filled with wonderful performances, packed parks, unique galleries and exhibits, theatrical performances, community projects and a tremendous response to the Discover the Arts series, made July a not to miss month. The impressive July schedule would not have been possible without the support of sponsors, Friends of Artown, the numerous presenters and volunteers. Together we heard loud and clear that Reno IS Artown.

Attendance goals reached expectations with more than 300,000 attendees. Artown brought in more than 400 events with more than 66% offered for free – a new record. As an organization, the support and comments we received showed attendees believe in what we are doing and want to see more.

Artown’s ability to continue to introduce new artists and art forms to the community are the direct result of its diverse funding sources. Despite the economic downturn, foundation and corporate sponsorship has increased 4%. Private donations through Friends of Artown have shown the biggest gains posting more than a 550% increase in individual giving since the inception of the membership program in 2005. Friends of Artown and Give $3 to Keep Artown Free currently contribute 10% to the agency’s annual revenue demonstrating the depth to which the community believes Artown is a catalyst to the cultural and economic change in our region.

We believe that Artown has an opportunity and an obligation to elevate our community’s optimism and quality of life while encouraging audiences to support local business. Now more than ever, Artown is committed to presenting the community with a festival that is accessible to all and is of the highest quality and integrity. Each fall the Artown board and staff hold an annual retreat to plan for the coming year and discuss the future of Artown. Careful consideration of Artown’s mission statement, which is “to strengthen Reno’s arts industry, foster its civic identity and enhance its national image, thereby creating a climate for the cultural and economic rebirth of the region,” ensures the following goals are accomplished each year:

• To expose our community and visitors to local, national and international performances and exhibitions • To foster dynamic collaborations among arts organizations • To create a festival that encourages excellence by area artists and cultural organizations that reflect our unique environment • To promote a sampler approach that encourages audiences to experience and experiment with unfamiliar art forms • To continue to develop educational and outreach programs and multi-cultural presentations • To leverage marketing partnerships to generate exposure far above what organizations can do individually • To continue to maintain and improve the artistic quality in the selection of national and international artists • To continue to reach out to new audiences

All in all, the mix of emotion and the camaraderie visible as friends and families gather together to create memories makes it all worthwhile.

[ 7 ] 2011 Final Report In addition to the July 2011 festival, in 2010-11, Artown’s Encore Series included a mix of cultural variety. Encore brings in artists that the Festival may not be able to host in July due to touring schedules, thereby allowing ticketed revenue to occur throughout the year. Our inaugural season included a sold out performance of Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers for “An Evening of Bluegrass and Banjo,” John Lithgow’s “Stories By Heart”, theatrical storytelling at its finest, Ailey® II Dance Company, Broadway star Bernadette Peters for a special Valentine’s Day concert, the unique pre-Berlin big band sounds of Max Raabe and Palast Orchester and finally, folk legend Arlo Guthrie. During Encore, Artown secured scholarships for local high school theater students to experience the theatrical expertise of John Lithgow’s performance and African American students attended Ailey® II where they experienced the significance of African American culture through the language of dance.

It’s been an amazing Encore and July for Artown. As planning begins on our 17th year, we’re looking forward to making it as memorable by increasing the depth and breadth of local, national and international performances and exhibitions.

Artown prides itself on collaboration and mutual support among the organizers, the performers and the spectators. Artown 2011 was comprised of more than 400 events taking place at more than 100 locations produced by 100 plus partners – a landmark achievement in and of itself. Although every event was unique, some moments that stand out beyond all others are:

• The Opening Night Extravaganza saw approximately 5,000 attendees. Festivities began with an afternoon for kids hosted by a collaboration of 10 strategic partners including: McKinley Arts and Cultural Center, The Noteables, International Folkloric Ballet, TheatreWorks of Northern Nevada, Children’s Cabinet, Boys and Girls Club of the Truckee Meadows, the Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum, BOBO’s Street Team, MomsLikeMe.com, and Artown. Activities included face painting by Body Masterpiece (with more than 250 kids’ faces painted) followed by a parade into the park led by the one and only MarchFourth Marching Band. The evening’s main event was a performance by Perla Batalla, a Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter who uses her Mexican-American roots to sing from the soul.

• The opportunity to create art can often be more powerful than simply witnessing it. Accord ing to the 2010 National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) National Study of Outdoor Arts Festivals*, 64% of surveyed festivals offer one to nine educational activities/programs. Only 6% offered 50 or more educational activities/programs. Artown, just in the month of July, offers more than 100 workshops allowing attendees of all ages and skill levels to stretch their creative muscles, far exceeding most festival offerings. Traditional workshops included drawing, painting, dance, theater and improvisation.

• Artown again raised the bar by bringing in Stephen Petronio’s “Underland”. New music, visual art and fashion collided in his dances producing powerfully modern landscapes exhilarated all the senses. Also professional level master classes were conducted by this New York choreographer, Stephen Petronio. Other Artown headliners this year included: Pink Martini Doc Severinsen and The San Miguel Five, and Open Door India Arie.

• Once focused on creating a vibrant downtown culture each summer, Artown overflows the city’s central core and reaches throughout the Truckee Meadows and beyond. Events take place in Sparks, south Reno, Virginia City, and for the first time in South Lake Tahoe.

• Just as Artown turned 16, so did the free Discover the Arts program. It grew even more to include cultural and artistic diversity and hands-on children’s activities. Discover the Arts, a multi-disciplinary series including 22 weekday children’s workshops, introduced numerous art forms to more than 2,700 eager young participants. These experiences were conducted by local and national professional artists.

• World Music Series continues to broaden horizons taking audiences on a trek around the globe with exotic and lively sounds and musical styles each Wednesday night in Wingfield Park. This year’s series featured Aurelio acclaimed for both his preservation and modernization of the Paranda musical tradition; Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys with modern Cajun music; Seun Kuti & Egypt 80, carrying on where his father, legendary Nigerian musician Fela Kuti; and Willie K, a Grammy-nominated Hawaiian artist that treated audiences to a mix of Hawaiian, blues, rock and more in his dynamic musical style.

“I’d like to say thank you for all the collective work that goes into putting this month long celebration together.” .....Janis Olsen

[ 10 ] 2011 Final Report • The influence of Burning Man, an annual arts and counterculture festival held north of Reno in the Black Rock Desert, has crept into Artown over the years bringing a funky, free-spirited and often fiery style of art with it. In 2011 the “burner” aesthetic continued with numerous events including the one-day festival Compression!

• In Artown, visual arts go beyond the media of painting, photography, printmaking, drawing and sculpture. Artist is more than a profession—it’s a state of mind. Exhibits pushed boundaries and explored new territory through subject matter, methodology, and experimentation inspiring emotion and critical thinking. Every walk of life was represented through visual arts, when Artown showcased art that incorporated works from veterans, homeless persons, Alzheimer’s patients, cyclists and more.

• Art and history go hand-in-hand and Artown highlighted that relationship with a variety of festival events focusing on history through an artistic lens. The Historic Reno Preservation Society’s walking tours explored the architecture and history of numerous neighborhoods throughout the city’s downtown core.

• Combining events targeting older audiences with a number of exhibits and performances by senior artists along with free or low-cost admission, Artown came of age. A theater company of seniors for seniors, Ageless Repertory Theatre hosted a series of readings. Senior centers and care facilities used art as a therapeutic practice and joined the Artown festivities with exhibits of patient and resident work including Moments of Memory’s Art from the Hearts of Alzheimer’s Artists and Atria A Slice of the Good Life.

• Artown partnered with festival sponsor Waste Management to incorporate green practices into Wingfield Park throughout the month of July. Waste Management’s Solar Trash Compactor and Recycling units were in the park providing festival attendees the ability to recycle plastics, paper and other items. This initiative diverted more than 73% from the local landfill. Additional green initiatives included a materials recycling program in partnership with Northern Nevada Dairymen where used milk and juice cartons, jugs and caps were incorporated into children’s art projects for the Discover the Arts series. More than 600 re cycled milk jugs were used for the “Discover Green Art” where children made giant posies to carry in the Opening Day Parade.

• Artown partnered the Washoe County Medical Reserve Corps during the World Music Series. The organization provided attendees with information about its mission, promoted disaster and emergency preparedness, provided free blood pressure screenings, and recruited volunteers. According to the Washoe County Medical Reserve Corps, they collected almost 60 applications for new volunteers and exceeded in one month the previous year’s entire recruit ing efforts by 32%.

• Each Monday Night during Artown saw two different main stage free offerings on opposite sides of town. Both series played to capacity houses, reaffirming that concurrent events are successful and variety is vital. Family Series in Wingfield Park had performances by the Hudson Vagabond Puppets returning to perform “Jemima Puddle-Duck,” TheatreWorks of Northern Nevada presented “James and the Giant Peach,” and The Platt Brothers brought their unique comedy and acrobatic act to the park. The Music Series at the Robert Z. Hawkins Amphitheater brought hundreds out each week to see the Reno Pops Orchestra, Performers from the Steinway Series, Reno Youth Jazz Orchestra and The Great Basin Brass Quintet.

• Tremendous support by individuals was shown through the Give $3 to Keep Artown Free campaign, with the community helping Artown reach its $30,000 goal. Thanks to a matching grant from the Robert S. and Dorothy J. Keyser Foundation, each $3 donation became $6, doubling to over $60,000. Give $3 to Keep Artown Free is made possible by the generous support of two long time festival sponsors, RGJ Media and U.S. Bank. JLH, Inc. supported the campaign by contributing envelopes for the collection process.

[ 13 ] 2011 Final Report By The Numbers

• 100 plus volunteers gave more than 1,800 hours of their time to Artown throughout the entire month • 46,200 was the estimated number of out-of-town visitors who attended Artown • 26,565 estimated total room nights • 32,395 unique visitors to the Artown’s web site from May through September • 83% of attendees stated they would be very likely to extremely likely to attend more cultural events in the next year due to an Artown experience • 78% of attendees stated they would recommend northern Nevada as a cultural destination to others • 66% of events were offered free – an average of eight free events a day • $60,279 plus was raised as part of the “Give $3 to Keep Artown Free” • 2,515 iPhone, 620 Android and 505 BlackBerry combined downloads and updates • 27% increase in Friends of Artown memberships • Artown’s public relations efforts surpassed more than 346 million in reach and approximately $1.3 million in advertising equivalency value for this year’s festival • 71% more likely to support a business that supports the arts Attendance Overall attendance in 2011 was estimated at more than 300,000 over the course of the 32 day festival with exact attendance difficult to quantify due to the nature of the event. An estimated 14% of attendees were first time patrons to Artown as represented from our surveys. Although most of the festival offers free admission, ticketed performances by Artown and presenters, such as the Reno Philharmonic’s Pops on the River showed that a capacity house had attendees thrilled with the performance. Theater company Good Luck MacBeth presented 11 performances of “Twelfth Night” to a complete sellout. Additionally exhibits in high traffic public places, such as the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, City Hall, the Nevada Museum of Art, and Washoe County Libraries collectively see thousands of visitors daily.

[ 14] 2011 Final Report Beyond Reno

What makes Artown such an incredible event is the opportunity to share success on a national level reaching far beyond our local region. When an article is read about Reno and Artown, it adds to the much bigger picture of what Artown is and strives to be. Through the events, Artown is able to share a piece of our community globally. And that’s good for everyone.

Reading about Artown in the USA Today, Washington Post and Southwest Spirit magazine, brings the influences and emotion we all feel about Artown to someone else – and encourages them to give Reno another look or a first look. In fact the power of this outreach has lead to many, many attendees coming from all over the country to Reno is July specifically to attend the festival.

In 2011, features on Artown were not only seen on the pages of the Reno Gazette-Journal daily with “Today in Artown” or on broadcast news outlets, it also appeared in the following news outlets nationally: American Banking News; Atlanta Journal-Constitution; Examiner.com; Las Vegas Review-Journal; Las Vegas Sun; LoadedTV.com; Monterey County Herald; Nevada Magazine; Richmond Times-Dispatch; Sacramento Bee; Sacramento News & Review; San Jose Mercury News; Southwest Airlines Spirit; USA Today; USAToday.com; and the Washington Post.

Combined the news coverage for Artown reached more than 346 million in reach and achieved approximately $1.3 million in advertising equivalency in media value.

However the largest form of flattery is when someone references Artown on the national stage as an example of what’s been done right. Beth Macmillan met with the Mayor of Sacramento, Kevin Johnson, and representatives from the city attended Artown events this last July to learn more and see the event first hand. They were visibly impressed by Artown and needless to say the bar is set pretty high for their venture – this is due in a large part to the quality of performances and the support of our attendees. A recent article on Minnesota Public Radio in addressing community development and the benefits of arts, acknowledged Artown as follows: “In Reno, new parks and civic buildings and a hugely popular Artown festival comple- ment Artspace’s Riverside Artist Lofts--swelling downtown Reno’s population and transforming the Truckee River district into an amenity.” While sometimes Artown is viewed as a local festival, it is so much more and the message is most definitely reaching out beyond Reno.

[ 15 ] 2011 Final Report [ 16 ] 2011 Final Report Cultural Diversity Artown continues to diversify its programming year after year by highlighting a variety of cultures in events ranging from cultural festivals to dance and music performances. The festival always focuses on bringing in cultures that haven’t yet been featured and exposing audiences to a truly multicultural experience. Two examples that showcase cultural outreach and education far beyond the classroom are the performances by Honduran Aurelio Martinez and Israeli Friendship Caravan. Aurelio Martinez sold out of cd’s and left the World Music Series audience with an appreciation of the Garifuna culture. The juxtaposition of American Gospel and the music of Israeli Friendship Caravan at Gospel Fest 2011 resulted in a beautiful cross pollination of cultural celebrations creating a spirit of global unity. This year Artown’s global influences included outstanding performances and celebrations by:

• The Boys and Girls Club of Truckee Meadows, the Children’s Cabinet, TheatreWorks of Northern Nevada, Never Enough Ballroom, and The Noteables. • BOBO’s Street Team led the charge each Monday night in Wingfield Park for the Family Series.

RJ-0000388782 [ 25 ] 2011 Final Report Next The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Chairman believes that art works for communities due to artistic creation and the way that art speaks on a personal level to the artist and the audience. His philosophy states that artists provide a positive impact – economically and spiritually – on the communities in which they reside and work.

As we look at what’s next for Artown, we look at the past while planning for the future. The efforts of the first 16 years provide the building blocks to our next 16 years and beyond. To that end, we have the following next steps to look forward to:

Artown is proud to have brought some of the best artists in the world to Reno. Next April, as part of our Encore series, Yo-Yo Ma will join us at the Grand Sierra Resort Grand Theatre making his northern Nevada debut. Yo-Yo Ma played as a young boy for President Kennedy and, more recently, for President Obama. His career has spanned many years and the best theaters in the world. Renoites do not have to go to San Francisco or New York to see such fine art.

An arts patron asked why and how we are doing this. The answer is simple. We deserve it! Artown offers our region sophisticated, and sometimes edgy, arts presentations as a direct response to our growing cultured arts patrons. Artown will continue to keep pushing the envelope, elevating the quality bar and bringing excellence to the community. We will continue to mix local artists with national artists in the festival. We will keep presenting up–and-coming artists as well as those who have been around for decades. We will always take risks that will stretch our understanding of the vastness of the arts.

One of the most successful series that Artown offers during July is the World Music Series. Although the series is phenomenal, world music, like cultures the music represents, is always evolving. Our planet is a large melting pot and music is fusing to form different cultures. In 2011 we celebrated the old culture of Garifuna with Aurelio. In the future we will do the same and more. Artown will share new global cultures that are a cross pollination of the more pure and traditional ones. Look for our World Music Series to become that which it is and more by offering Global Pop to the festival.

While we will continue to present the best artists in the world, Artown will take an interest in developing artists of various genres right here in our own community. Two areas that we are currently researching are Face Painting artists and Mariachi. We’re also emphasizing performance by our young artists.

Artown continually touts that the arts are good for business. A report completed by the NEA in fall 2010, provided substantiated data to support this statement and clearly indentifies that nonprofit arts and culture organizations are a viable industry. The report unveils the economic impact of events such as Artown have a profound impact on our local economy and quality of life.

Arts & Economic Prosperity III from Americans for the Arts, a nonprofit organization for advancing the arts in America, is a study on the economic impact of nonprofit arts and culture organizations and their audiences. The national results of the survey are impressive:

• The non-profit arts and culture industry generates $166.2 billion in economic activity annually • The industry generates nearly $30 billion in revenue to local, state and federal governments every year. These governments collectively spend less than $4 billion annually in support of arts and culture which results in a 7:1 return on their investments • 5.7 million full-time jobs exist in the arts in the United States • When a community attracts cultural tourists, the economic impact is even greater and they spend twice as much as their local counterparts, again showing how arts and culture are good for business • International studies show that communities attracting new businesses offer an abundance of arts and culture opportunities. When arts flourish, so will creativity and in novation – the fuel that drives our global economy [ 26 ] 2011 Final Report 2A • THURSDAY, JULY 7, 2011 RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL/RGJ.COM 2A • THURSDAY, JULY 7, 2011 RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL/RGJ.COM PAGE TWOPAGE TWO

Top five bargain destinations for summer 2011 By Christine Sarkis, SmarterTravel.com Updated 6/16/2011 11:42 AM

Summer inspires vacations like no other season. All that demand can mean higher prices, but we’ve found five great destinations that deliver bargain appeal and plenty of fun. We’ve found real, available prices for summer to make sure these hot spots are as budget-friendly as they claim. Like all deals, these are sure to expire; however, a little research on your part can yield similar results when you’re ready to book.

…………………………………………………….

Reno

In the Biggest Little City, affordability comes in large and small packages. New air service, affordable hotel rates, and tons of free and cheap activities make Reno a bargain this summer. Reno’s emerging identity as a cultural and outdoors destination ensures that even nongamblers have plenty to do.

New and upcoming air service puts Reno within easy reach of more of the country. In February United started service from Houston, and later this summer, Delta will launch service from Minneapolis.

The savings start early in a trip, since most of the downtown hotels offer free shuttles from the airport. Week- night stays in late June start at $60 at the Atlantis and $65 for July weeknight stays at the Peppermill. Weekends can be affordable as well: At the Eldorado Hotel Casino, we found weekend rates in August for $89 per night.

Start factoring in all the free and inexpensive activities this summer and Reno’s bargain star really shines. Case in point: Most of the 400 events that take place during the city’s annual arts festival, Artown, are free or low cost. Music, dance, theater, and other performances and exhibitions run throughout July. Events range from break dancing workshops to a performance by Yo-Yo Ma. Meanwhile, the Aces Ballpark, close to downtown, offers the chance to catch a minor league Reno Aces baseball game for just $6.
