The Board also directed that a public art master plan be developed, as well as specific guidelines for creating art projects and an annual work plan of projects that public art staff would undertake. This document, Public Art • Public Places, is Arlington’s first public art master plan. It enriches the vision of the public art policy and establishes a strategy for selecting the art projects that will be commissioned. It details the priorities, areas and themes that should be considered as public art projects are developed, as well as a list of potential projects for the next five years. Arlington’s vision is that public art should be a force for placemaking — for creating strong, mean- ingful connections between people and places that are important to community and civic life. This vision will continue Arlington’s tradition of innovation and leadership, and sets the stage for the cre- ation of public places with civic distinction. Public Art • Public Places 4 THE PLAN Public Art • Public Places was adopted by the County Board in December, 2004, as an element of the County’s Open Space Master Plan. The process included extensive consultations with County staff, civic organizations and commissions, as well as a County Board work session, a public forum, and a public charrette.

Public Art • Public PublicPlaces Art5 • Public Places 5 The plan also suggests three themes for projects that will be particularly reso- nant with Arlington’s sense of place. Federal Arlington examines how the history, culture, and economy of Arlington are intertwined with that of Washington, D.C. Historic Arlington examines the layers of settlement and development that have shaped the County. Global Arlington explores the widening web of relationships between Arlington's diverse communities, its businesses, its government institu- tions, and the rest of the world. Each year staff will work with the Arts Commission to prepare an annual work plan that will be approved by the County Manager. Staff will assess the County capital projects that are likely to proceed that year and will recommend which projects are priorities for public art. In areas where developers provide public art through provisions related to site Above: A recently completed project in plan negotiations, the plan proposes placing in-lieu contributions into special Arlington that integrates public art with park design. Jann Rosen-Queralt, Cultivus “area funds” that would be used for special art projects in those areas. The Public Loci: Suckahanna (Children's Rain Garden), Powhatan Springs Park. Art Master Plan details what projects these funds would support. However, Arlington County recognizes that motivated, knowledgeable private develop- ers can commission art projects of distinction, and they would always be able to commission art projects on their own. Most public art projects will involve a partnering agency or a private developer, which will be expected to meet financial, planning, design, public access, and maintenance requirements. Guidelines developed by the public art program set out the necessary commitments in more detail.

    Strategic Plan 2016 – 2021

    Strategic Plan 2016 – 2021 1 Ability to Meet the Mission Acknowledging the accomplishments and agility of Academy of Art University since its founding in 1929, the Strategic Plan envisions where we will take art and design education in the next five years. The Plan articulates the steps we must take to ensure the very best experience for our students, who are at the heart of the institution in the short, medium and long term. Origins President Stephens launched the Strategic Planning Initiative in spring 2015. Throughout the academic year, input was solicited from constituent groups across campus. » Academic Department Directors » Faculty » Board of Directors » Senior Management Team » Students The recommendations in Academy of Art University’s Strategic Plan 2016 – 2021 represent the culmination of feedback from these constituencies. The Strategic Plan was crafted in late fall 2015 by the Strategic Planning Task Force, led by President Elisa Stephens and Chairman of the Board of Directors Dr. Nancy Houston. Key Academy of Art University leaders in the areas of education, finance, operations and technology participated on the Task Force. Implementation and Review The Strategic Plan will be shared with the constituent groups at Academy of Art University that created it, and with the WASC Senior College & University Commission (WSCUC) and Academy of Art University’s other institutional and programmatic accreditors. Individual strategic goals will be assigned to managers and existing or ad hoc work teams, as appropriate to best execute individual strategic goals. Progress on implementing the plan will be reviewed quarterly as part of the President’s Report to the Board of Directors and also as part of Senior Management Team Meetings and Academic Department Director Meetings.

    Ryan Gander the Happy Prince

    Media Contact Kellie Honeycutt 212.223.7810 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Public Art Fund announces Ryan Gander The Happy Prince Doris C. Freedman Plaza Central Park, New York City September 15, 2010 – February 13, 2011 Ryan Gander, The Happy Prince, 2010. (Model detail) JULY 9, 2010, NEW YORK, NY—Public Art Fund is pleased to announce its commission of a new project by Ryan Gander entitled The Happy Prince, on view in Doris C. Freedman Plaza at the southeast corner of Central Park, September 15, 2010 – February 13, 2011. “Ryan Gander, one of the brightest young artists in Europe, has conceived a brilliant new work for one of New York’s most prominent public spaces. Taking inspiration from Oscar Wilde’s beloved children’s story, The Happy Prince, Gander has transformed the parable of a noble statue into an arresting work of contemporary art,” said Nicholas Baume, Public Art Fund Director and Chief Curator. In conjunction with the Public Art Fund project, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum will present a new commission by Gander in its Aye Simon Reading Room as part of the museum’s Intervals series. In Wilde’s story, the Prince, a gilded and bejeweled statue standing atop a column, observes the daily suffering of his city’s poor. One afternoon, he befriends a swallow, who he convinces to strip the jewels and gold from his body to distribute to the people, alleviating their misery. After helping the Prince, the swallow, who has grown increasingly cold with the onset of winter, dies at the Prince’s feet, and the Prince, who is no longer covered in riches, is toppled from his place of honor by the Town Councillors who no longer deem him a fitting and beautiful statue for their town square.

SAMBA JOY VERSUS STRUCTURAL PRECISION THE SOCCER CASE STUDIES OF BRAZIL AND GERMANY Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Susan P. Milby, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin Adelman, Adviser Professor William J. Morgan Professor Sarah Fields _______________________________ Adviser College of Education Graduate Program Copyright by Susan P. Milby 2006 ABSTRACT Soccer playing style has not been addressed in detail in the academic literature, as playing style has often been dismissed as the aesthetic element of the game. Brief mention of playing style is considered when discussing national identity and gender. Through a literature research methodology and detailed study of game situations, this dissertation addresses a definitive definition of playing style and details the cultural elements that influence it. A case study analysis of German and Brazilian soccer exemplifies how cultural elements shape, influence, and intersect with playing style. Eight signature elements of playing style are determined: tactics, technique, body image, concept of soccer, values, tradition, ecological and a miscellaneous category. Each of these elements is then extrapolated for Germany and Brazil, setting up a comparative binary. Literature analysis further reinforces this contrasting comparison. Both history of the country and the sport history of the country are necessary determinants when considering style, as style must be historically situated when being discussed in order to avoid stereotypification. Historic time lines of significant German and Brazilian style changes are determined and interpretated.
