On My Own Time Update
Cherries in Abstract

Nineteen exhibits of visual art created by employees of Central New York companies were held this past May and June at company sites in Onondaga and Oswego counties. There was an impressive display of individuality, talent, and range of mediums displayed in all of the exhibits! Our volunteer judges had the difficult task of selecting which pieces would become part of the "grand finale" On My Own Time exhibit at the Everson Museum of Art in October. A well-deserved thank you to this year's judges:
Arlene Abend MaryJo Barnello Karen Convertino Bill Delavan Tamara DeMartino Tom Duffy Amy Goodall-Ayres Kimberly Griffiths Melissa Morgan Jen Peiffer Gloria Romeo Emmanuel Vaucher Andrea Woodbury

National Study Quantifies Economic Impact of the Arts
 As studied by Le Moyne College, the direct economic impact of the arts and cultural organizations in the greater Syracuse area is nearly $134 million annually, according to a recent survey conducted as part of the Arts & Economic Prosperity IV, a project of the national organization Americans for the Arts.
According to the survey, this impact - broken down to $33.9 million by nonprofit arts and culture organizations and an additional $99.5 million in event-related spending by their audiences - supports 5,117 full-time equivalent jobs, generates $110.4 million in household income to local residents, and delivers $20.1 million in local and state government revenue to the greater Syracuse area.

A Message from Mark Nerenhausen
Founder of the Janklow Arts Leadership Program:
The Janklow Arts Leadership Program welcomed its inaugural class in July. They are a group of bright, energetic, enthusiastic students from variety of backgrounds linked by a common interest in the arts and a commitment to making the arts an important part of our communities. The students have already launched into a busy schedule of classes and guest lectures including a conversation with Dan Wakin of the New York Times who was presented in a special lecture in collaboration with the Goldring Program. (see student profiles on our website)
As a professional program, connections with our professional colleagues are a critical component of the program's success and our students' education. We are also honored to also welcome the inaugural members of our industry leadership council which represent some of the nation's leading arts organizations including the visual and the performing arts and the for profit and not-for-profit sectors.
I also want to thank the CRC and the Syracuse Arts community for giving the students a warm welcome at a reception held in their honor during the first week of classes. The Janklow students are presented with a rare opportunity for meaningful involvement in the local arts community, involvement that gives them first-hand experience and makes this program more than an academic exercise.
