I hope you all are enjoying summer and the chance to experience our amazing summer arts festivals!
Nominations are open now for the 2017 Governor's Awards for the Arts and Humanities as well as the next Alaska State Writer Laureate. The nomination forms are shorter and more streamlined this year. I encourage you to nominate someone who deserves to be recognized for their work serving Alaskans through the arts.

Our partners at the Alaska Humanities Forum are accepting nominations for Alaska Studies Educator of the Year and Distinguished Service to the Humanities, at the same time. The Governor's Awards for the Arts and Humanities ceremony will be held in Juneau on Thursday, January 26, 2017.

Lastly, we recognize the service of ASCA's dear, Chief Financial Officer, Gina Brown, and thank her for many years of service with the Alaska State Council on the Arts. She has been an integral part of our team for fifteen years.
In 2012, Gina and her husband Alan started Lantaw-Ugma Outreach, to provide children with basic supplies and a place to learn with love, dignity and hope. Lantaw-Ugma, in the native dialect of the Island of Cebu means, "Looking into a bright future." In September, Gina and Alan will return to continue their work that makes such a huge difference in the lives of young children. We will miss her, yet at the same time, we wish her well on her new adventure in the Philippines! Thank you, Gina!

ASCA Welcomes New Council Members
| |
Governor Walker appointed Alice Bioff and Cordelia Kellie, and reappointed Benjamin Brown as chair and Kesler Woodward as vice-chair, to the Alaska State Council on the Arts (ASCA).
The Council's mission is to represent, support and advance the creative endeavors of individuals, organizations and agencies throughout Alaska. ASCA considers the arts and creative sector to include: organizations, businesses, groups and individuals who serve as creators, designers, makers, educators, administrators, producers, presenters and distributors in the areas of Visual Art, Music, Literature, Fashion, Poetry, Performing Arts, Cultural Practices and Traditions, Culinary Arts, Language Preservation, Graphic Design, Architecture, Public Spaces, Film and Media.
Brown commented, "We are delighted that Governor Walker has appointed Alice Bioff and Cordelia Kellie to the Alaska State Council on the Arts. These two wonderful Alaska Native women have impressive and unique skills, experiences, and abilities that will contribute greatly to our work in enriching the lives of all Alaskans. I am honored to be re-appointed to the position of chair, and extremely grateful that Kes Woodward will continue in his role as vice-chair of the Council. ASCA faces challenges as do all parts of State government, and we are fully committed to working creatively and diligently to find ways to maintain and improve our capacity to deliver the best services to all the people of the Great Land in this time of transformation."

Alaska State Writer Laureate Frank Soos | Some Fun
| |
When I was named State Writer Laureate, I thought two things. First, I'm not comfortable with honors. But secondly, I'm good at expectations. And being State Writer is an honor that comes with expectations. I could do that. My hope was to spread the word about the amazing number of Alaskan writers we have, more good writers now than have ever lived in this state at any time in the past.
With that in mind I've done my best to spread the word in communities large and small, popping up at schools, libraries, and community centers-in other words wherever they'd have me. Last year I made my way up and down the highways talking about non-fiction books since I think that's where an Outsider might learn the most about Alaska as Alaska. This year I've added both fiction and poetry. The first time I gave this year's talk in Valdez, I was curious to learn how an audience of Alaskans would react to a talk I had thought might be designed for visitors to this state. And I was happy to introduce a number of authors to these serious readers.
To that same end, along with the Alaska Center for the Book and with help from the Alaska Humanities Forum, the Arts Council, and a Harper Travel Grant, we all-all meaning many, many gracious volunteers all over this state-sent author of Blonde Indian Ernestine Hayes on a fourteen town tour as our first author in what I hope will become a regular series of Alaska Reads where living Alaskan writers visit communities throughout the state. In the month of February, Ernestine made over forty appearances in venues from libraries to middle school to college classes to jails and soup kitchens. In addition she visited fifteen more communities via OWL (online with libraries). She was a remarkable inspirational presence wherever she went.
Wonders happen on a smaller scale, too. My favorite visit may have been to the community of Kenny Lake and to its middle school in particular. Thirteen students under teacher Sarah Bandfield were in the middle of crafting short stories based on their research of an historical period. When I arrived, the students had done their research and had a character of their invention all set up and ready to be the main character of a story. In two days, those students put their characters into motion, explored their conflicts and we all saw their characters evolve as they went forward.
Some fun? I'd say so. Whether promoting our many good writers to a wider audience or working with young and adult writers as they discover the power of their own written words, it's been fun.
There's more to come in the fall. I'll be visiting towns from Southeast to the Aleutians. But there are still some spots on my dance card, so if you'd like me to come to your town as a speaker or a workshop leader, just let me know and I'll try to make it happen. I can best be reached by e-mail: fmsoos@alaska.edu.

Update on ARTShops
| |
Four Alaska ARTShops are underway this summer! Underwritten by ASCA and The CIRI Foundation, the pilot program is a direct investment in ASCA's Alaska Native Arts Leadership cohort's professional development. One central ARTShop goal is to support rural creative leaders to design and deliver arts programs that reinforce and build community capacity.

Sven Haakanson, Jr., Lena Amason-Berns, Anna Hoover and Teri Rofkar shared updates this week on their unique and completely self-designed community arts programs. All have incorporated intergenerational training into their teaching and learning models. Through the process they are discovering like-minded advocates, community members, and family and friends who are interested in supporting their work or contributing directly to the ARTShops.

An elder language speaker offered to build a traditional language component for Lena's Ancient Alutiiq Cell Phones ARTShop. The Naknek Village Tribal Council expressed their support of Anna's Grass Basket sewing workshop. Teri has expanded her inter-generational family teaching model to include an additional mother/daughter weaving team. Sven shared photos of traditional kayak material gathering and kayak construction currently underway.
Throughout the ARTShop process, the artists are actively examining methods and templates that are most conducive to indigenous ways of sharing creative knowledge. We are excited about discovering granting structures and indigenous based and designed arts programming that can be modeled and replicated in rural communities. All the ARTShop artists are keen to pass their learning lessons forward and help ASCA simultaneously build a ARTShop program that is responsive to the complex demands on rural artists and community participants.

IMLS Grants Share Plant Knowledge, Improve Museum Care
Two museums in Alaska received grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) for the coming year through the Native American/Native Hawaiian Museum Services program:
Koniag, Inc. / Alutiiq Museum Award: $48,208.00
To increase knowledge of traditional plant use, support Alutiiq language revitalization, and advance the understanding of tribal traditions, the Alutiiq Museum will embark upon the first phase of Naut'staat - The Kodiak Alutiiq Plantlore Project. Grant funds will be used to transform an existing archive of Alutiiq ethnobotanical information and images into print-ready book manuscript and plan for its publication. This project will benefit the community and scholars by compiling, preserving, and sharing Alutiiq language terms for commonly used Kodiak Island plants, as well as documenting and sharing lost cultural knowledge for current and future generations.
Seldovia Village Tribe/ Seldovia Museum Award: $50,000.00
The Seldovia Museum will improve the care of its collections and provide assistance to other museums through a three-part project. In the first phase of the project, the museum will organize a workshop for 12 staff from small Alaskan museums to gain skills in storage support fabrication and basic object conservation and cleaning. In the second phase of the project, the Seldovia Museum will enhance its collections storage area with archival-grade containers and storage supports, in addition to upgrading its collections database software. Digital collections management policies and procedures will be developed and tested in the third phase of the project and distributed as a template to other museums.

Summer Festivals in Alaska
| 'Tis the season for summer festivals and gatherings! Each month, through August, we will share information about upcoming summer festivals in communities across the state. We know that the arts and culture--from community dances to food ways, and playwrighting to bagpiping--play an important role in the way communities gather to celebrate the summer months in Alaska. We are certain this list does not include all the community festivals and gatherings in our state. If there is a festival or community gathering you would like us to include in this list for next summer, please send us information about the event, including links to further information for those who might like to attend and see how your community expresses itself through arts and cultural activity.

2.Functionality: The bike rack must provide space for parking/locking at least 3 bikes. Designs are encouraged to be scalable to accommodate 2 to 5 or more bikes.
3. Design: The design is encouraged to draw on the unique character and history of Spenard, as well as the ability to be individualized for a specific business, location, neighborhood, etc.
4.Replication: The winning design will be installed at the CIHA offices however the bike rack may be replicated in other locations in Spenard. The artist can choose to design one bike rack or a series of themed racks.
5. Artists/Teams: Artists are permitted to work individually or as part of a team.

Alaska Positive 2016 Call Opening through the Alaska State Museum
The 2016-2017 Alaska Positive Juror will be Larry McNeil, and the call will open on August 15.
Larry McNeil says that he started his career as an artist with a photo degree, an old beat up Ford, a couple boxes in the back seat, and some brassy Nikon cameras. He knew instinctively that what he sought couldn't be found in a studio; this called for a journey to find what America was all about. This journey has never stopped even though he's settled down a bit and is now a professor and busy artist.
Larry McNeil's art is about the intersection of cultures, American mythology, irony,and satire, and embodies a distinctive sense of American identity. He is from the Dakl'aweidi K�et Gooshi H�t, Killer Whale Fin House in Klukwan Alaska, which is one of the oldest Tlingit clan houses on the Northwest Coast.
He has won numerous fellowships, including the Van Deren Coke Fellowship from the University of New Mexico, Eiteljorg Fellowship, an Arts and Humanities Fellowship as well as awards from the National Geographic All Roads Program and a New Works Award from En Foco.
Call for submissions for Alaska Positive 2016 will open on August 15 on CaF�, callforentry.org. More information can be found on the museum's Artist Opportunities page, museums.alaska.gov.

Arts Education Partnership Shares New Report on Well-rounded Education
With states around the country beginning to implement the work outlined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), one of AEP's priorities is to ensure that the arts and education communities have the resources necessary to engage in the many opportunities ESSA opens up for expanding access to a high-quality education in and through the arts. ESSA includes the arts and music in its definition of a well-rounded education, ensuring that arts education programs and teachers are eligible to receive federal funds through the new law.
A new report from Education Commission of the States, ESSA's Well-Rounded Education, reviews the definition of a well-rounded education and how states can support the success of their students through a comprehensive curriculum. This report also explores changes from the previous education law and highlights the new opportunities that are available to states through ESSA.
Some key takeaways from this report:
ESSA emphasizes the need for all students to have access to a well-rounded education that includes the arts, humanities, sciences, social sciences, English and mathematics.
ESSA opens up many opportunities for states and districts to invest in activities that support a well-rounded education, including the new Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants.
With ESSA, districts are asked to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment to identify the needs of their unique populations and make investments to address those needs.

Creative youth development is a recently coined term that organizes a longstanding community of practice that intentionally integrates the arts, sciences, and humanities with youth development principles, sparking young people's creativity, and building critical learning and life skills that carry into adulthood.
This new coalition is collaborating to organize and accelerate the CYD movement through a collective impact strategy with a common agenda, shared systems and activities, cross-sector engagement, and continuous communications. The Partnership aims to strengthen community-based organizations working in youth development and the arts, sciences, and humanities; develop and support adult practitioners in the field; and benefit youth by increasing access to CYD opportunities throughout the United States.
In 2014, representatives of the creative youth development field came together at the National Summit for Creative Youth Development to form its first-ever national policy agenda The Creative Youth Development National Partnership has embraced a collective impact strategy to implement this agenda. Since the 2014 Summit, each of the partner organizations in the Creative Youth Development National Partnership has continued to contribute to advancing the CYD field in a number of ways, as described in this progress report. The Partnership is currently leading and advising these major projects, which have begun this summer: - National Blueprint for Creative Youth Development - With support from the National Endowment for the Arts, this collective impact project works to advance cross-sector development of the CYD field and strengthen local and national partnerships. A national advisory group and a range of research activities will inform the Blueprint, which will seek to identify and prioritize actionable strategies for achieving shared goals to increase access to creative learning for American children and youth. Learn More.
- The Creative Youth Development Toolkit - The toolkit, set to launch in June 2018, will highlight relevant research on the CYD field and adjacent fields, illuminate effective practices for programmatic success, and provide tools and resources to drive forward the field of practice and the policies that support it. Learn more.
- CreativeYouthDevelopment.org - The web site, and associated newsletter, will provide unified communications that will foster information sharing, learning, knowledge development, collaboration, and input across the field.
