2009 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY BodyVox, Foot Opera Files, (Photo: Michael Shea, Polara Studios): General Support Welcome

Reflecting on this past year of financial challenges, we are struck by the resilience, creativity and determination of people in our region. last year as we wrote this letter we faced an uncertain future and RAcc vowed to do everything possible to support artists and arts organizations through this tough time. While the future remains murky, we have positive things to report from this past year – details of which run through this annual report. Thanks to enlightened and committed elected leaders, RAcc held its entire grants program whole and supplemented it with Work for Art dollars, which increased by 19%. People in our region care and they give. The Transit mall reopened with 10 previously sited artworks cleaned, conserved and re-installed in new locations. Joining them were 14 new artworks, creating a sizable public collection of Northwest sculptures. RAcc was delighted to partner with Trimet throughout this four-year undertaking and will be caretakers of all the public art on the mall. Americans for the Arts recently announced that RAcc’s Public Art Program is one of the top five award-winning programs nationally, which makes us very proud. The Right Brain Initiative continues to grow. All 20 original schools returned and Portland Public Schools was able to add three new ones. We anticipate having ever-greater evidence of the value of integrated arts learning at the end of this first full year of programming. We thank all of our partners, funders and participants for this growing success. The creative Advocacy Network was launched, and its ranks of supporters—including elected officials, corporate leaders, artists, educators, arts organizations and individuals—continue to grow as we work toward our goal of $15-20 million in new and dedicated arts funding. In hard economic times polling once again showed that arts accessibility and arts education are highly valued by regional voters. Please become active in this crucial movement. let’s all keep participating, supporting and doing all we can to ensure that the arts and artists flourish.

RAcc’s service area includes more than 1.5 million residents, 250 not-for-profit arts and culture organizations and countless artists of every discipline in the Portland, oregon metropolitan region including clackamas, multnomah and Washington counties.

“In times of war and sacrifice, the arts … remind us to sing and to laugh and to live. In times of plenty, they challenge our conscience and implore us to remember the least among us. In moments of division or doubt, they compel us to see the common values that we share; the ideals to which we aspire, even if we sometimes fall short. In days of hardship, they renew our hope that brighter days are still ahead. So let’s never forget that art strengthens America. And that’s why we’re making sure that America strengthens its arts.” 2009 report to the community2009 Arts Council Regional & Culture www.racc.org --President Barack obama 4 ADvocAcyp.6
