    2016 Neighborhood Profile Covenant Blu/Grand Center Blu/Grand Covenant Washington University Medical Center A partnership between BJC HealthCare and Washington University in St. Louis 1 Covenant Blu/Grand Center Neighborhood Introduction The Covenant Blu- Grand Center neigh- borhood is located at the geographic center of the City of St. Louis, home to a dynamic and diverse array of anchor institutions, residents , and venues for the arts. The neighborhood suffered from precipitous decline in the latter half of the 20th century while dealing with significant structural changes, but has been engaging in revitalization efforts with its stakeholder institutions since the 1980s, achieving great progress along the way. Covenant Blu- Grand Center is located just north of Saint Louis University, centered around the Grand Center Arts District on North Grand Blvd, home to the Fabulous Fox Theatre, Powell Symphony Hall, The Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, and a host of additional arts, media, and civic institutions and venues. With the motto, “The Intersection of Art & Life”, Grand Center is arguably the center of the high arts community in St. Louis while presenting a skyline of architectural landmarks recognizable and visible to St. Louisans throughout the city. In the early decades of the 20th Century, the area was known as the social hub of Saint Louis, with the city’s 2 grandest social clubs, fraternities, hotels, and classic theatres. However, by the middle of the century, these venues fell out of fashion as society moved westward and many were shuttered. As private investment withdrew from the City, the urban fabric of the neighborhood surrounding the Grand Center Arts District experienced great decline.

  • NCAR Arts Vibrancy Index II: Hotbeds of America’S Arts and Culture
    March 2016 NCAR Arts Vibrancy Index II: Hotbeds of America’s Arts and Culture Zannie Giraud Voss, Glenn Voss, Richard Briesch, with Meghann Bridgeman 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Welcome to the second annual NCAR Arts Vibrancy Index Report, an assessment of arts vibrancy across U.S. communities using a set of data-informed indices. We are not alone in our belief that creativity is a desirable and necessary element for a thriving community. Creative placemaking, which promotes arts and culture as essential to creating more livable and prosperous communities, is a growing movement being advanced by leading entities such as The National Consortium for Creative Placemaking, ArtPlace America, Artspace, and the National Endowment for the Arts. But what factors make up a community’s arts vibrancy, and which cities possess them? To assess arts vibrancy across America, we incorporate four measures each under three main rubrics: demand, supply and public support for arts and culture on a per capita basis. Demand was gauged by measures of total nonprofit arts dollars in the community, supply as total arts providers, and public support as state and federal arts funding. We use multiple measures since vibrancy can manifest in many ways. One might criticize our measures of vibrancy because they say nothing about artistic quality, or the multitude of community conditions that make a place ripe for creative activity, or data on who participates in the arts, or the revenues and expenses of commercial entertainment. Might additional measures be added in the future? Certainly. For now, we believe the metrics used in this report represent a solid start using the most reliable sources of data available on a nationwide scale.

  • This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)
    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.
