at the end of the day, give us a quote
William Shakespeare
Winter's Tale, excerpt
CAMILLO: You pay a great deal too dear for what's given freely.
Footnote
Winter solstice defined:
Late dawn. Early sunset. Short day. Long night. For us in the northern hemisphere, the December solstice marks the longest night and shortest day of the year.
The Winter's Tale
is one of Shakespeare's final plays. Composed and performed around 1610-11, it joins Pericles, Cymbeline, and The Tempest
in the list of genre-defying later plays that are usually referred to as romances or tragicomedies.
Each of these productions has a happy ending that sets it apart from earlier histories and tragedies, but each emphasizes the danger and power of evil in the world; and death, while never finally victorious, is an ever-present force in the stories.
In The Winter's Tale, we are given a joyous ending, but the playwright demands that we endure the savage madness of Leontes and the deaths of three innocent people before we reach the happy resolution. |

Dear ,
Greetings members and friends!

Just scan the schedule and you will see our emphasis on elementary, middle, secondary and post secondary areas of interest. Download schedule here! The most valuable outcome from your participation is networking with arts schools leaders face-to-face.
We will be on location in Orlando, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Lakeland, Florida. Home base is Disney World, first base member arts schools, second base member arts organizations, third base national perspective, and home run connecting all of the parts. We offer to you a micro/macro representation of the arts world from cradle to retirement, audience member to artisan, student to teacher. We hope you will join us and share your successes and puzzlements. Only through networking and communion can we truly strengthen our collective. I wish all of you a restful and recharging winter holiday break. Please try not to steal from your own "down time." We need you fully charged for the coming year. Congratulations on your halfway benchmark, and Happy Holidays! Sincerely, Kristy Callaway Executive Director Arts Schools Network [email protected] | |
editor's note - oops we made a mistake | |
Monday, December 14th annual conference promotion e-blast titled Friday - museums, ballet & creative advice
Our Friday morning general session panel, Finding Nemo - The Musical, with Disney Entertainment Creative incorrectly listed our own board members as Disney panelists.
While we believe Pamela Jordan and Tom Sherry are very creative leaders, they do NOT work for Walt Disney World�.
Please accept our apologies for the misprint and we hope to see you in Orlando next month! |

public enemy to perform at santa fe university of art and design | |
concert part of the sfuad artists for positive social change series
Santa Fe University of Art and Design will bring the internationally renowned hip-hop group Public Enemy to campus Saturday, April 28, 2012. The daylong event will kick off with a community conversation with frontman and lyricist Chuck D. and producer and bassist Brian Hardgroove and will culminate in a live Public Enemy concert that will be open to the public. The concert will close the university's first yearlong Artists for Positive Social Change series.
"It's especially important to give our students direct access to the artists," said David Scheinbaum, chair of the photography department and the force behind the Artists for Positive Social Change program. "We have asked highly respected artists to talk to our students about what they do and how they do it. The conversations between the artists and the students are the backbone of the program."
Formed in 1987, Public Enemy is known for hits like "Fight the Power" and albums like Apocalypse 91... The Enemy Strikes Black and How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul??? In the early 1990s, the group pioneered the crossover between rap and rock by partnering with thrash metal band Anthrax on "Bring the Noise," a genre-busting single that paved the way for the rap-metal sound.
Over the past two decades, Public Enemy has continued the conversation about black rights in America and has advocated maintaining hip-hop as a musical form that belongs to the people who listen to it and make it, and not the record companies who release and promote it.
"Getting Chuck D involved in this initiative will really make the difference. This is a place where people have real questions and can start a conversation," said Hardgroove. "Santa Fe University of Art and Design is the only campus I've been introduced to that shows an interest in feeding the artistic heart."
The group is also politically and socially active. It launched the website Public Enemy Africa in January 2011 to encourage creative dialogue among hip-hop and rap artists in African communities. The website offers a forum for posting artist profiles, music, videos and event dates to encourage the expression of regional and community cultural politics and concerns.
"Public Enemy Africa is a digital soundboard and cultural bridge to promote dialogue and, hopefully, to redirect the center of African hip-hop and rap music back to African communities," said Chuck D, who is a frequent lecturer and speaker and hosts a regular radio show on WBAI in New York City called "... ANDYOUDON'TSTOP!"
Public Enemy's mission for positive social change epitomizes the goals of the series. "Chuck D is very serious about art and education," Scheinbaum said. "Public Enemy is committed to its art and its message, often in the face of adversity. It's the perfect group to represent our program's emphasis on positive social change."
The Artists for Positive Social Change series for the 2011-2012 academic year is focused on the genre of hip-hop as a major influence on today's culture and social fabric, highlighting hip-hop artists who push the boundaries of their medium. Since September, several artists, including Hardgroove and Bukue One, have visited campus to deliver lectures and workshops.
Details about the concert and community conversation will be published early in 2012. For more information about Artists for Positive Social Change, please visit www.santafeuniversity.edu.
