Editor’s Note: The American Masterpieces: The Artistic Legacy of California
Indian Basketry project is a joint project of the California Arts Council,
California State Parks, and The California Museum. The exhibit will
be on display at The California Museum, 1020 O Street, Sacramento,
until March 14, 2010.
The gentle notes of GRAMMY-award winner Mary Youngblood's flute rose
above the din of voices on March 11, 2009, at The California Museum
in Sacramento, as the onlookers admired the exquisite baskets on display.
Over 200 people attended the pre-opening reception for American
Masterpieces: the Legacy of California Indian Baskets, a special exhibit brought
together through the efforts of the California Arts Council and California
State Parks, with funds from the National Endowment for the Arts' American
Masterpieces program.
Mary Tarango, Tribal Chair of the Wilton Rancheria, opened the evening
by inviting the reception attendees (and all potential viewers of the
exhibit) “onto the land” of the sovereign tribes in California through
viewing the exhibit. For thousands of years baskets were essential
implements to Native Californians, and over 80 baskets, their uses,
and an oversized lighted floor map of California demonstrating the
baskets' geographic origins are on display.

to explore and research methods of engaging audiences for dance, learn from
peers, and share the learning nationally. EDA consists of four components,

- Audience Engagement
Research. Grantees will cooperate with consultants Alan Brown and
Jennifer Novak of WolfBrown to conduct research on their own audience engagement.
WolfBrown will provide technical assistance to the grantees in designing
and executing audience surveys.
- Learning Community. At its core, EDA
is a learning initiative. Grantees will participate in a learning community
about engaging audiences, including regular meetings and conference calls.
Results of projects will be posted on Dance/USA's website.
- Additional Audience
Research. Dance/USA will also commission additional field-wide research
on audiences to be conducted by WolfBrown, the scope of which is to be determined.
Both organizational and individual members of Dance/USA may participate
in EDA. Applicants must have 501(c)3 status and be an organizational member

Health Insurance for Artists: Information and Resources
According to the Urban Institute's 2003 study, Investing
in Creativity: A Study of the Support Structure for U.S. Artists, access to quality,
affordable healthcare is one of the most difficult challenges facing
artists today in the U.S. Indeed, it is one of the most difficult
challenges facing many Americans. Artists in the workforce, in particular,
exhibit a clear need for better information about healthcare and
health insurance options, and about how to improve access to resources
locally.
In an effort to deliver information and resources to artists, organizations,
and communities on options for affordable, local healthcare and health
insurance, The Artists Health Insurance
Resource Center (AHIRC) and Leveraging
Investments in Creativity (LINC), both in partnership with the
Actors Fund, have compiled extensive information regarding health
insurance and healthcare for artists. The information is available
to everyone without charge.
