Advocacy News and Action Updates ADVOCACY | Advocacy and Communications Tips | News & Action Updates | You Gotta Have Art! ![]() From The Alliance of New York States Arts Organizations WELCOME GOVERNOR DAVID PATERSON March 17, 2008 Act now and show your support! Please welcome Governor David Paterson to his new office in Albany and remind him of the role of the arts play in New York State. While he is immersed in budget negotiations there is no time to waste. We have 14 days until the budget deadline of April 1 which is the start of the new fiscal year. Please take a moment to send a letter to Governor Paterson thanking him for his past support of the arts inÊNY State. His leadership is essential in this difficult budget year as we seek a modest increase of $3.5 million to the New York State Council on the Arts budget of $49 million. From The Alliance of New York States Arts Organizations ARTS DAY WAS YOUR DAY! Thank you to all who braved the upstate snowstorm to make their voices heard in Albany. Battling snow storms, traffic tie ups and a jammed parking lot hundreds of determined Arts Advocates descended on Albany for Arts Day 2008. Kudos to Marisa Catalina Casey, Amy Fitterer and Matt Freeman, producers of the “I Am an Artist” video. Playing on a continuous loop in the well and on the Big Screen in the Rally, the compelling voices of 40 artists were heard by the legislators and arts advocates. You can view the video on You Tube. Alliance Executive Director Judith K. Weiner, Pia Lindstrom and Alliance President Veronica Claypool of the Theater Development Fund spoke with legislators on Arts Day. Our meetings with the Leadership in Albany tell a tale of support and recognition for the role the arts play in communities around the State. But without the support and dedication of our arts advocates...YOU...Arts Day would not be a success. Thank you again. Your participation is our most valuable asset. A very Special Thank You to the Performers and Exhibitors who attracted so much attention in the Well amidst the red and gold balloons: The Saratoga Shakespeare Company, Delaware Valley Opera, The Nat Phipps Trio, The Joe Finn Jazz Duo, Pulse Ensemble Theatre, Rod Rodgers Dance Company, Yaffa Cultural Arts, Albany Institute of History & Art, Huntington Arts Council, Harvestworks, Aesthetic Realism Foundation, eba Theater, Dutchess County Arts Council, Greene County Arts Council, Harlem Arts Alliance and Columbia County Council on the Arts. Arts Advocates appeared at Arts Day speaking out in support of an increase of $3.5 million to the NYSCA budget....from $49 million to $52.5 million. Pia Lindstrom, NYSCA Chair Mary Schmidt Campbell, Executive Director Heather Hitchens and Senator Maltese and Assemblyman Englebright delivered compelling testimony and thanks at the legislative hearing. From The Alliance of New York States Arts Organizations Take Action Now to meet our goal of 3,000 emails to legislators before Arts Day (February 26, 2008) Send an email urging your legislators to show their support for the arts in New York State by increasing the New York State Council on the Arts Budget to $52.5 million for FY 08-09. Reflecting a modest increase of just $3.5 million over the Governor's proposed arts budget of $49 million, this funding is only worth $33.1 million today when adjusted for inflation. The Governor’s budget held the arts level. At $49 million, this reflects spending of only $2.72 per New York resident, a rate that fails to match the high of $3.03 per capita spending in FY90. It only takes 2 minutes and the names of your legislators and the letter will pop up for you. All you need to know is your own name and address. Your message matters. Legislators listen and respond to their constituents. From The Alliance of New York States Arts Organizations ARTS DAY — Tuesday, February 26, 2008 SIGN UP NOW!

Aid to Localities or grants to the field is level at $49 million. The administrative budget or state operations was increased slightly by $75,000 to $6.142 million. On the $124 billion State budget, Governor Spitzer proposed an array of taxes and cuts in an attempt to close a budget deficit of $4.4 billion. There are murmerings of the possibility of more cuts down the road. This makes it imperative to have a great showing of support for the arts on ARTS DAY in ALBANY to protect our position in the budget and advocate for a modest increase.

From Americans for the Arts: Final Federal Budget to Provide Increases for Arts Programs! December 18, 2007 Last night, the U.S. House gave preliminary approval to an “Omnibus” appropriations bill for FY 2008 providing funding for about $474 billion in domestic spending programs. The Senate began considering this legislation today. With the President’s expected signature later this week, the bill will provide about $145 million for the National Endowment for the Arts — a $20 million increase over last year’s funding. Arts education and public broadcasting programs are slated to receive modest increases over last year’s levels and the federal museum office will see a slight decrease in funding. Enacted FY07 FY08 Final Omnibus Bill (Expected) FY07 vs. FY08 Difference National Endowment for the Arts $124.4 million $144.7 million $20 million increase National Endowment for the Humanities $140.95 million $144.7 million $3.75 million increase Arts Education at U.S. Department of Education $35.3 million $37.53 million $2.23 million increase Corporation for Public Broadcasting $396 million $420 million $24 million increase Office of Museum Services (within IMLS) $31.83 million $31.27 million $556,000 decrease National Endowment for the Arts Through this legislation, the National Endowment for the Arts is expected to receive a 16% increase — the largest given to the agency in the past 24 years! The effort to achieve this funding increase has been built over the course of several years. Advocates like yourself have been attending the annual Arts Advocacy Day or actively contacting their Members of Congress calling on them to restore the NEA to the strength it once had in the mid-90s. Our cause on Capitol Hill, led by Congressional Arts Caucus co-chairs Louise Slaughter (D-NY) and Chris Shays (R-CT), was championed earlier this year by House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Norm Dicks (D-WA) as he held, on Arts Advocacy Day, the first hearing on arts funding in twelve years. Americans for the Arts was called on by Chairman Dicks to organize the hearing and present a panel of witnesses that included Americans for the Arts President and CEO Robert Lynch, jazz musician Wynton Marsalis and a number of other arts leaders. The hearing focused on the role of creativity and innovation in the arts and highlighted research outlining the tremendous impact that federal investment in the arts can have. In June, Congresswoman Slaughter led the U.S. House to reject three amendments specifically designed to cut funding for the NEA, and instead approve a giant leap forward in NEA funding. During the floor consideration, Americans for the Arts advocates from 50 states sent over 26,000 messages to their Members calling on them to support an increase for the NEA! Through negotiations with the Senate and the White House, the $145 million will provide for more direct grants to arts organizations around the country and increase the reach of the agency’s national initiatives. National Endowment for the Humanities The National Endowment for the Humanities is set to receive $145 million, an increase of about $4 million. Arts Education Funding for arts education at the U.S. Department of Education will receive a slight increase to about $38 million, from $35.3 million. The bulk of this increase is intended to provide funding for administering the first national survey since 1999 on the status and condition of arts education - a key element of our advocacy agenda! Public Broadcasting The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the federal agency that provides support to our national public broadcasting network saw their annual budget increased from $400 million to $420 million for FY 2010. CPB is typically provided funding in advance due to the long range planning they must do. Museum Programs The Office of Museum Services within the Institute for Museum & Library Services (IMLS) is slated to receive about $31.2 million, which is about a $556,000 decrease from what it received in FY 2007 funding. What’s Next: Passage of the Omnibus legislation will bring to an end the FY 2008 appropriations cycle. Due to the numerous veto threats made on most of the 13 appropriations bills, it took longer than expected for Congress to finish their work. At the end of this week, the House and Senate will recess until mid-January. The President is scheduled to give the State of the Union on January 28, 2008 and the FY 2009 budget will be announced in early February. Americans for the Arts will provide full details on the FY09 budget when released. From The Alliance of New York States Arts Organizations PUBLIC HEARINGS on the 2008-9 STATE BUDGET November 19, 2007 In a groundbreaking move, Governor Spitzer has invited the public to participate in the 2008-9 state budget process through in-person testimony and online comments at public hearings across the state. At the first two meetings on Saturday, November 17, 2007, in Buffalo and Rochester, New York State Director of the Budget Paul Francis and other key decision makers made presentations about the fiscal climate facing the state in the coming year. Members of the public were then given the floor. Alliance Regional Captains, among them Celeste Lawson, were on hand to monitor the proceedings. If you have any questions, please contact jkweiner@nysarts.org or marisacatalina@gmail.com. Here’s a chance to get your voice heard! It is essential that the arts are represented in this process. Share your arts experiences and encourage Governor Spitzer to increase NYSCA’s budget and funds allocated to arts education. Additional hearings on November 29 and 30 – see below. Sign up now to provide in-person testimony for future hearings at: www.budget.state.ny.us or by calling 518-473-3885. Submit comments via email to: BudgetHearing@budget.state.ny.us.

Lee Dennison County Office Building, 100 Veterans Memorial Highway, Hauppauge, NY 11788 From The Alliance of New York States Arts Organizations SUPPORT THE HISTORIC REHABILITATION TAX CREDIT PROGRAM July 6, 2007 When the legislature re-convenes for Special Session later this summer — perhaps as early as July 16th — send an email and make your voice heard in the New York State Assembly in support of A.7935-A (Hoyt). This bill provides for an expanded rehabilitation tax credit program that includes increased incentives to support the rehabilitation of historic commercial and residential properties. TAKE ACTION NOW Historic downtowns, Main Streets, historic theaters, and residential neighborhoods across the State will benefit from this legislation. It will create an additional financial incentive to restore and reuse New York State’s rich legacy of historic buildings, and provide a critical new tool in efforts to bring businesses and residents back to revitalized community cores, bringing new investment back to municipalities throughout New York State. This legislation is supported by a wide range of municipalities and economic development, historic preservation, and environmental organizations. The Senate has passed this legislation; it now needs the active support of your Assembly member to assure it will come to a floor vote when session resumes later this year. In order to secure passage of this critical program for downtown and neighborhood renewal, contact your Assemblymember and request 1) that they join in sponsorship with this legislation and 2) that they advocate with Ways & Means Committee Chair Denny Farrell for this bill to be brought to a floor vote during the special session of the Assembly later this summer. From the Office of Eliot Spitzer, Governor PROMINENT ARTS ADMINISTRATORS, ACADEMICS, PRODUCER AND ENTERTAINER NAMED TO STATE ARTS COUNCIL June 20, 2007 Governor Eliot Spitzer and Lieutenant Governor David A. Paterson today announced five nominations to the Board of the State Council on the Arts and the selection of its Executive Director. “With these nominations, we will help transform the state Arts Council,” said Governor Spitzer. “A more diverse and daring board will build upon our state’s reputation as a center of artistic creativity and expression.” The nominations are as follows:
The State Council on the Arts provides more than 2,700 grants each year to non-profit arts and cultural organizations throughout the state. The Chair and Members of the Board of the State Council on the Arts will not receive a salary. As Executive Director of the State Council on the Arts, Ms. Hitchens’ annual salary will be $135,000. Assemblyman Steven Englebright of Setauket, SuffolkCounty, is the new Chair of the Tourism, Arts and Sports Development Committee in the Assembly, replacing Assemblyman Joe Morelle. He has been a member of the committee for several years. Assemblyman Engelbright was elected to the legislature in 1992 and is now serving his 8th term in office. Previously, he was a member of the Suffolk County legislature from 1984 to 1992. Englebright also sits on the following committees: education, energy and higher education. From The Alliance of New York States Arts Organizations NEW CHAIR OF THE TOURISM, ARTS AND SPORTS DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE June 8, 2007 Assemblyman Steven Englebright of Setauket, SuffolkCounty, is the new Chair of the Tourism, Arts and Sports Development Committee in the Assembly, replacing Assemblyman Joe Morelle. He has been a member of the committee for several years. Assemblyman Engelbright was elected to the legislature in 1992 and is now serving his 8th term in office. Previously, he was a member of the Suffolk County legislature from 1984 to 1992. Englebright also sits on the following committees: education, energy and higher education. From The Alliance of New York States Arts Organizations GOVERNOR SPITZER BUDGET PROCESS ANNOUNCEMENT June 8, 2007 Governor Spitzer announced that he will start the New York State Budget process in NOVEMBER, 60 days earlier than is traditional in Albany. The rationale is that that the early start will allow more of the talks to be public and would minimize the last minute horse trading, making the process more transparent. From Free Press SAVE SMALL AND INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS Stamp Out the Rate Hikes and Stop New Postal Rules from Stifling America’s Independent Media April 23, 2007 Postal regulators have accepted a proposal from media giant Time Warner that would stifle small and independent publishers in America. The plan unfairly burdens smaller publishers with higher postage rates while locking in special privileges for bigger media companies. For more information, visit the Free Press website. In establishing the U.S. postal system, the nation’s founders wanted to ensure that a diversity of viewpoints were available to “the whole mass of the people.” Time Warner’s rate increase reverses this egalitarian ideal and threatens the marketplace of ideas on which our democracy depends. It’s time stand up for independent media. Demand that Congress step in to stop the unfair rate hikes. Sign the on-line letter to alert Congress and put the Postal Board of Governors on notice. Free Press is a national, nonpartisan organization working to reform the media. Through education, organizing and advocacy, Free Press promotes diverse and independent media ownership, strong public media, and universal access to communications. From The Alliance of New York State Arts Organizations ARTS DAY RALLY AND SHOWCASE February 27, 2007 The Alliance urges arts constituents all over the state to be part of advocacy efforts, and to make their case for increased support of the Arts. We’re asking you to:
Our message is clear: Increase funding for NYSCA to $54 million, or just $2.80 per NYS resident. Governor Spitzer’s proposed 2007-2008 budget includes $47.5 million in NYSCA aid to localities (grants). That's a $5 million increase over this year. $54 million would be an $11.5 million increase, so the Governor’s budget gets us almost half way there! That’s good news, but it is still far below the 1988-89 level of $54.3 - without being adjusted for inflation! This is a time of change in Albany. It’s time to build on our strong past and regain some of what we’ve lost. We will re-introduce the Culture Zones Legislation. This is legislation that marks a paradigm shift in additional funding for arts organizations in New York State. In our conversations with legislators we’ll also talk about the importance of the Decentralization and Stabilization grant programs. ARTS DAY HEADQUARTERS: The Well, Legislative Office Building (LOB) Open 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Staff will be available to answer questions and offer guidance. Pick up handouts, information, and a handful of button to give out at your meetings. If you register in advance, we will email you the “leave behind” materials so that you have them for your morning appointments. There’s still time to register. ARTS SHOWCASE IN THE WELL: The showcase will include performances, table top displays and small exhibits. See the schedule below.

That’s a $5 million increase over this year. We are advocating for $54 million in grants money, an $11.5 million increase, so the Governor’s budget gets us almost half way there! The Governor’s proposal also includes $6 million for NYSCA administration. Let’s keep the momentum going. Sign up for Arts Day on March 6, contact your legislators through the online advocacy center and work to get the full $54 million in money for grants. From From the NYFS Executive Director: ADVOCACY MAP FOR FOLK ARTS PROGRAMMING IN NYS January 10, 2007 Dear Colleagues, The New York Folklore Society is seeking to develop an “advocacy map” which will serve to depict the scope of the impact of folk arts programming in New York State. This will be distributed at Arts Day, and to anyone wishing to receive copies of it. Austin Fisher, a NYFS Board member and GIS Software designer/geographer, has agreed to produce the map with data which we supply. BELOW is a sample table with what, I think, are the important parameters: Type of Program, sponsoring organization, audience attendance, audience ethnicity (generally), date, zip code of program. If anyone can think of additional important information, please let me know. With this information we can plot programs onto a map with different colors or symbols for types of programs, etc. I am writing to solicit your program information on the map. In addition, if you have any folklore/folk arts program which may be of particular interest — or an ongoing project of which you’re particularly fond — please feel free to add any details that we could use to highlight your area. The goal is to make a picture of folk arts programming in the state (doesn’t have to be NYSCA- or NEA-funded) so that legislators have a quick visual regarding our impact. I will be mass producing this for distribution and send you copies either electronically or in paper form. Thanks, Ellen McHale New York Folklore Society
From The Alliance of New York State Arts Organizations MARK YOUR CALENDARS WITH THESE IMPORTANT DATES January 2, 2007 Updated January 8, 2007 February 28 - March 5: Local Advocacy Week and Online Rally The Alliance Regional Captain Network will spearhead and coordinate local advocacy events and meetings throughout New York State.

Don’t miss the opportunity to showcase your organization in THE WELL, a very high visibility central atrium in the Legislative Office Building. We can accommodate short performances and/or table top displays/small exhibits. These performances/exhibits should exemplify the positive impact of government investment in the arts. The Alliance seeks proposals for 10 minute performances that make the arts live. Performances will be scheduled between 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. - 3 p.m.; a microphone is provided. We only have time for 10 performances. There is limited space for 18 exhibits! Set up can begin at 8 a.m. and must be completed by 9 a.m. We will supply 8 foot tables, skirting, chairs, and electric. ALL EQUIPMENT (electronic, easels, etc.) MUST BE SUPPLIED BY THE PRESENTERS. All proposals must be received by February 1, 2007. Online proposal deadline: 5 p.m., February 1, 2007. Accepted proposals will be notified by February 15, 2007 via e-mail. March 12 and 13: Advocacy Day in Washington Advocacy Day includes a Congressional breakfast, advocacy training, meetings with your members of Congress, and the annual Nancy Hanks Lecture on the Arts and Public Policy. The Alliance coordinates and leads the New York delegation on the Hill. September 9, 10 and 11: Arts Summit in Schenectady Join your colleagues and friends in an interactive statewide Alliance Arts Summit hosted by Philip Morris and Proctor’s Theatre in Schenectady. The Summit is designed as a focused interactive event and with full engagement for all participants and many ‘behind the scenes‘ examples of downtown transformations by the arts. ADVOCACY EFFORT WITH THE LEGISLATIVE GAZETTE December 11, 2006 Dear Colleague: In recognition of the role that traditional arts and culture plays in New York State, the New York Folklore Society will sponsor a special report section of the February 12, 2007 issue of the Legislative Gazette. The Gazette is the newspaper of New York State Government and is published weekly from September through June. This informative multiple page insert in the Gazette will highlight folk and traditional arts programs throughout New York State. We are seeking your support by asking you to participate by writing informative essays about your programs and activities. Depending upon the space available to us, we will be able to show the range of folk arts activities statewide. Photographs will also be possible. This newspaper is an excellent vehicle for informing our elected and non-elected government officials about folk and traditional arts and their role in cultural vitality, education, cross cultural understanding, and quality of life issues. Copies of the Gazette are distributed free of charge to legislators, lobbyists, and state offices throughout New York State. The Gazette is also a means to reach the general public as it is delivered to libraries, colleges, and retail newsstands throughout the Capital District, and to major hotels in the larger cities of the state. We are pleased that folk and traditional arts will be highlighted in this special issue. Please contact me at the New York Folklore Society to indicate your interest in being a part of this advocacy effort and I will assign you space to highlight your program. In addition, if you can share contact information with the New York Folklore Society for possible advertisers to which print ads can be sold, this will increase our space allotted to our message as a field. The more ads sold by the Legislative Gazette, the more space we have to inform the readership about what we are doing in their communities. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you.
