In a move that would resonate with the general tone of the culture wars, press accounts at the time followed the councilman’s extra-marital affairs, particularly his attempts to be recognized as the father of a child by a woman who was not his now former wife. Despite the fact that the politician had risen to promi- nence as an aide to former Mayor Henry Cisneros, a liberal, my colleagues and I often read his attacks as an attempt to shore up a conservative base. We relied on this notion to explain the number of self-identified Christian counterprotestors at “citizens to be heard” meetings, yet the Esperanza trial would bring out a stronger divide in the city.

  • Historical Analysis and Prediction of Art Policy in the United States from Reagan to Trump—
    SHOULD THE NEA BE ABOLISHED? —HISTORICAL ANALYSIS AND PREDICTION OF ART POLICY IN THE UNITED STATES FROM REAGAN TO TRUMP— TATSUHIRO SHINAGAWA Waseda University The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) was founded as an independent federal agency in 1965 to support art activities in the United States. The uniqueness of this organization lies in that the art organizations that receive grants from the NEA must be able to raise the same or larger amount of funds from other sources. Even though the NEA is a small organization, there has been lots of discussion about whether the organization should exist or not in its 50 years history. Frédéric Martel says that the organization is already “dead.” This paper focuses on his argument, and analyzes if the NEA is still “dead” after the Obama Presidency by examining his art policy and the NEA. Thereafter, this thesis concludes if the NEA should be abolished or not, as the new U.S. President and his team requests. INTRODUCTION Art policy in the United States is unique, and unlike other countries, the United States does not have a ministry of culture, and separate governmental departments or organizations has conducted art policy or culture policy. One of these organizations is the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). The 36th U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act in 1965, and admitted the foundation of the NEA. The main role of this organization is grantmaking to art activities nationwide. There are both positive and negative opinions about this organization in its effectiveness to support art activities and its value of presence.

  • Correcting the Structural Defects in the National Endowment for the Arts
    Independence vs. Accountability: Correcting the Structural Defects in the National Endowment for the Arts Craig Alford Masbackt Politics has moved to center stage in the arts world. It has been almost twenty-seven years since Congress established the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) as part of the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Act of 1965 (Act).1 Since then, the NEA has faced a variety of challenges, but none like the one which unfolded during the last four years in Washington, D.C. During this time, the very existence of the organization has been at issue.2 Until the mid-1980s, the NEA enjoyed consistent, and only occasionally contested, congressional support as it distributed grants to arts organizations, state arts agencies, and individuals. As congressional appropriations grew from $2.5 million in 1966' to $175 million in 1991," the NEA saved dying ballet companies, launched programs to improve the teaching of poetry in schools, and helped start an American literary anthology. The NEA has achieved a significant decentralization in arts funding, education, and participation in the United States by encouraging the expansion in the number of state arts agen- cies.5 While the NEA was, theoretically, structured to be insulated from govern- ment control, the issue of the organization's independence has been central to t A.B. 1977 Princeton University.

  • Chapter 13: “Fostering Civic Engagement Through the Arts: a Blueprint” by Devereaux
    Chapter 13: “Fostering Civic Engagement Through the Arts: A Blueprint” by DeVereaux Art Policy and Advocacy Policy Quest The aim of this assignment is for you to learn about some of the important issues, events, and individuals in the history of arts policy in the United States. At the same time, you will be gaining research skills that will help you improve your research capacity in this course and others. The questions posed are intentionally posed in a way that requires you to do research and a bit of problem-solving to figure out exactly what information in needed. With that said, in this assignment, you should find information to respond to the posed questions by any means you can! What that means is that it is not readily obvious how you should answer the questions, where you should go to find the answers, or what answers are required. As a graduate student, you will encounter similar situations when you are conducting research for papers and projects you will complete. The ability to develop your own research leads based on vague or ambiguous ideas has great value for this reason. Keep in mind that “research” does not just pertain to looking things up in books. As a researcher, you should begin to discover the multiple ways you can track down data. A savvy researcher might, in fact, begin with a subject librarian who can show ways to facilitate the search. Before beginning this assignment, note that: All questions relate to the fields of arts management and arts policy, so you should find answers for each that relate to these areas.

  • A New Institutionalist History of Appalshop: Exploring the Agential Dynamics of an Appalachian Community Cultural Development Organization
    A New Institutionalist History of Appalshop: Exploring the Agential Dynamics of an Appalachian Community Cultural Development Organization Sarah E. Lyon-Hill Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Planning, Governance and Globalization Max O. Stephenson, Jr. Chair Robert H. Leonard Kim L. Niewolny A. Scott Tate November 18, 2019 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: New Institutionalism, Fields, Agency, Community Cultural Development, Arts Organizations, Appalachia Copyright © 2019 A New Institutionalist History of Appalshop: Exploring the Agential Dynamics of an Appalachian Community Cultural Development Organization Sarah Lyon-Hill ABSTRACT This research draws on New Institutionalist theory as interpreted by Fligstein and McAdam (2012) to explore the relationship between structure and agency within one nonprofit organization, Appalshop, located in Central Appalachia. Since 1969, Appalshop has worked with peer institutions to form a larger community cultural development (CCD) field, characterized by actors that value the potential of art and cultural activities to create space for individual and collective imagining and reimagining of communities. Through an exploration of archival documents and interviews with 18 current and former Appalshop staff, I analyzed the organization’s 50-year evolution. I identified ways in which Appalshop has operated in the midst of different enabling and inhibiting structural forces, how its staff has sought to assert agency by contesting or circumventing those extant forces, and how the ensuing tensions have shaped the organization’s approach to social change. During its evolution, Appalshop can be seen as having gone through four different stages characterized by changing national policy and culture as well as the actions of different generations of Appalshop staff.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Law and Policy by an authorized editor of BrooklynWorks. IS IT ART OR TAX-PAID OBSCENITY? THE NEA CONTROVERSY Jesse Helms* America is in the midst of a cultural war. On one side are those of us who want to keep our nation rooted in Judeo-Christian morality. On the other, are those who would discard this traditional morality in favor of a radical moral relativism. It is nothing less than a struggle for the soul of our nation. How this controversy is resolved will determine whether America will succeed and prosper, or be left in the dust bin of history. That is why the use of taxpayers' dollars by the National Endowment for the Arts ("NEA") to subsidize offensive and obscene "art" -- in effect, to subsidize the efforts of moral relativ- ists to undermine America's Judeo-Christian heritage and morality -- is such a threat to the future of our nation. The role of the National Endowment for the Arts in this struggle first surfaced in 1989 when the agency awarded a grant -- and the stamp of public approval -- to Andres Serrano for his photograph of a crucifix in a vat of urine.
