Traditions broadcast Maryland Traditions folklorist Cliff Murphy joined WYPR-radio's Aaron Henkin in presenting the Feb. 18 broadcast of The Signal (88.1 FM), which featured Appalachian gospel singer IN THE NEWS Burton DeBusk (pictured above) and Hugh Campbell discussing songwriting, spirituality and swapping songs with urban-folk musician Caleb Stine. The three musicians met in January in a one-room furniture shop in Cecil County, near Elkton. It was a meeting of different generations: DeBusk is EVENTS 81, Campell, 55, and Stine, 34.

"His stories and songs resound across generations. The Arts advocates to gather deep level of respect shown to him by Caleb Stine and Hugh in Washington Campbell – both accomplished musicians in their own right – really speaks to that." For more information about Maryland Traditions, visit its online site or Facebook page. More video clips of the OPPORTUNITIES musicians' meeting are on Caleb Stine's web site. & DEADLINES Meet artists for your residency program Arts Day message: Arts generate economic punch About 370 arts advocates from across the state came to Annapolis, Feb. 9, for the 13th annual Maryland Arts Day. Organized by Maryland Citizens for the Arts, the yearly event allows arts advocates to discuss arts funding with state legislators. Maryland Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller and Speaker of the House Michael Busch spoke to the advocates and discussed how the arts have had a positive impact on their own families and communities. Christian Johansson, secretary, Department of Business and Economic Development, spoke about the economic impact of the arts in Maryland. "The arts mean jobs and business," he said."In fiscal 2009, the arts generated $1.14 billion for the state's economy," he said, citing a DBED economic impact study regarding the arts. That same year, the arts provided 12,000 full-time equivalent jobs. The day included topical presentations, educational sessions and a keynote presentation by editorial cartoonist Kevin Kallaugher (KAL), the longtime cartoonist for The Economist and former cartoonist for the Baltimore Sun. Also, former Maryland State Arts Council Chair E. Scott Johnson was named the 2011 Sue Hess Maryland Arts Advocate of the Year.

The House of Representatives recently voted to reduce NEA's appropriation for fiscal 2011 to $124.5 million, the level of funding that NEA received in fiscal 2007. The Senate will now consider the appropriation. President Obama had requested a $146.25 appropriation for fiscal 2012, which represents a $21 million decrease from the current appropriation of $167. NEA funding helps to support state and local budgets, allowing local jurisdictions to make the cultural, educational and economic benefits of the arts more accessible for their communities. To voice your support for the arts, visit Americans for the Arts online. A Richard Montgomery student wins POL again Kari Barclay, an 11th-grade student at Richard Montgomery High School in Montgomery County, emerged from a field of nine regional winners as champion of the Maryland State Poetry Out Loud (POL) competition, Feb. 26 at the Enoch Pratt Central Library in Baltimore. Barclay won a $200 prize and an all-expenses paid trip to Washington, D.C., to represent the state in the national POL contest, April 27-29. Last year, another Richard Montgomery High School student, Nora Sandler, also won the state title. Barclay won the Maryland finals with his recitation of E.E. Cumming's "anyone lived in a pretty how town." Kate Moran, a 12th-grader at Saints Peter and Paul High School in Talbot County, placed second. Jamila Anderson, a 10th-grader at New Town High School in Baltimore County, finished third. Maryland's poet laureate, Stanley Plumly, was one of the judges. POL promotes the recitation and performance of poetry as an oral-art form. The National Poetry Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts partner with state arts agencies, such as the Maryland State Arts Council, to stage the annual POL program. The Maryland state contest was open to all students in the 10th-12th grades in public and private schools. It will expand next year to include ninth-grade students. Photo: Jamila Anderson, Kari Barclay and Kate Moran Submit qualifications for Key Bridge art project The Arts Council invites artists and professional design teams to submit their qualifications for working on the 1812 Bicentennial Francis Scott Key Bridge Public Art Project. Deadline for submissions is March 18. Administered by the Arts Council, the project will enhance the bridge as part of Maryland's multi-year commemoration of the War of 1812 bicentennial.

It crosses Baltimore's harbor. For more information about this request for qualifications, visit the Arts Council web site, or e-mail Susie Leong.
