Auxiliary panels, workshops and events also were held throughout Boston and Cambridge. In attendance were over 500 visual artists, curators, arts administrators, university representatives and residency directors. These Conferences are the only forum of their kind. They are devoted to practicing artists (of all disciplines) and those who support them. To be affordable for artists, registration fees are among the lowest of any comparable conference. Scholarships are available, a student discount is provided and a handful of sessions are free and open to the public. Much of the programming for the 2011 Conference grew out of TransCultural Exchange’s international advisory board’s first meeting on April 8-13, 2010, which included visits with sponsors and local arts organizations throughout Massachusetts,1 a retreat on Martha’s Vineyard and a press conference on April 12th at the legal office of Edwards, Angell, Palmer and Dodge, LLP. Members of the advisory board include Ute Meta Bauer (Director of MIT’s Program in Art, Culture and Technology), Mario Caro (President of Res Artis), Machiko Harada (Independent Curator), Jean-Baptiste Joly (Director of Akademie Schloss Solitude), Kayoko Iemura (Director of Tokyo Wonder Site) and Johan Pousette (Curator of Swedish Traveling Exhibitions). As a result of the advisory board’s suggestions, the 2011 Conference featured: • An extra day of Conference activities to showcase local cultural attractions and related research at sponsoring institutions.2 • International program presentations integrated into over 50 topic-focused panels. • Past participant residency artists added as panelists and workshop speakers. • More than double the number of mentoring sessions/portfolio reviews. • A dedicated meeting site for appointments between academic institutions and international program representatives to facilitate partnerships. • “Dutch treat” 3 lunches/dinners for attendees and speakers to meet informally. 1 Locations and organizations in the Boston area included Boston University, MIT, the Isabella Steward Gardner Museum, Northeastern University, the School of Museum of Fine Arts and Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and in Martha’s Vineyard, the Featherstone Art Center and in Western Massachusetts, MassMOCA. 2 An additional day was added to the Conference with activities held at cultural institutions throughout Boston and Cambridge, including talks and a tour at MIT, a paper making workshop at Harvard University, panels for musicians at the Boston Center for the Arts, a reception at the Harrison Avenue galleries, a world music concert at Northeastern University, panels at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, tours of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and readings and panels (eg by the International Art Critics Association – AICA-USA in collaboration with The Brooklyn Rail) at the Boston Public Library. 9 • An open mic reading program for attending writers. • A screening program for artists to show two slides of their work. • An exhibitors’ hall with tables sponsored by Artspan, Art New England, Canvas Fine Arts, Art Papers, Northeastern University, Boston University, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Studio Art Centers International (SACI) Florence the I-PARK Residency Program.4 • A screening program of experimental films organized by the Goethe Institut Boston. By expanding its offerings, TransCultural Exchange attracted a broader range of artists to better reflect the organization’s more than two decades of producing cross-cultural and trans-disciplinary projects. Attendees were able to learn about a wide variety of programs from the more than 35 representatives from around

  • 2008 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities
    200808 ANNUAL REPORT NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES CHAIRMAN’S LETTER The President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: It is my privilege to present to you the 2008 annual report of the National Endowment for the Humanities. At the White House in February, I joined President Bush and Mrs. Bush to launch the largest and most ambitious nationwide initiative in NEH’s history: Picturing America, the newest element of our We the People program. Through Picturing America, NEH is distributing forty reproductions of American art masterpieces to schools and public libraries nationwide—where they will help stu- dents of all ages connect with the people, places, events, and ideas that have shaped our country. The selected works of art represent a broad range of American history and artistic achieve- ment, including Emanuel Leutze’s painting of Washington Crossing the Delaware; Mary Cassatt’s The Boating Party; the Chrysler Building in New York City; Norman Rockwell’s iconic Freedom of Speech; and James Karales’s stunning photo of the Selma-to-Montgomery March for Voting Rights in 1965. Accompanying the reproductions are a teacher’s guide and a dynamic website with ideas for using the images in the study of American history, literature, civics, and other subjects. During the first round of applications for Picturing America awards in the spring of 2008, nearly one-fifth of all the schools and public libraries in America applied for the program. In the fall, the first Picturing America sets arrived at more than 26,000 institutions nationwide, and we opened a second application window for Picturing America awards that will be distributed in 2009.

  • Bulletin from the Editor Bill Taylor
    Volume 19 Number 4: Summer 2018 St. BotolphBulletin From the Editor Bill Taylor “Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language,” opined quasi-Botolphian Henry James. But the passing of summer and the arrival of fall poses a conundrum: if Bill Taylor summer afternoons are so long, why, in New England, is the summer season so short? The answer might lie in some mathematical confluence of the tilt of the earth’s axis, its diurnal rotation on that axis and its elliptical orbit around the sun. Or, more likely, it’s just in our minds. At least this year, the Red Sox have stretched summer into October. Quartet Fin de Siècle - Katharina Radlberger, Summer is comparatively quiet at the Club. Some of us travel. Karen McComoney, Jennifer Morsches Some escape to the Cape—or to the other Cape. Some write, paint, sculpt, compose or practice as they cannot during the school year. Some of us less ambitious Botolphians read on the beach what we should have read in the library. And some of us stay-at-homes continue to trek to the Club for enlightenment, food and air-conditioning. Your editor dallied most of the summer at the other Cape but managed a few excursions back Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me to the Club. Highlights were those have always been the two most beautiful n Sebastien Cournot’s recital of turn-of-the century piano words in the English language music linked somewhat obliquely to the impressionist painters beloved by Botolphians; n Joshua Rubenstein’s masterful description of Vladimir Putin’s political and economic role from the perspective of Russian history traced from the Czars, through the Soviet Union, through glasnost under Gorbachev and back again to despotism.
