Inside
In 4Culture's July newsletter, we invited you to participate in a brief survey to help us get some insights into how you use the newsletter and what information you most value.
We were extremely pleased with the number and thoughtfulness of the responses we received. Some things surprised us, particularly the demographics of the responders. You're older than we thought you'd be, for example. You're employed as well, and therefore don't have much use for the regional job announcements we post.
We asked several questions about what kinds of information you'd like to see more of. Many of you expressed interest in additional features about people who work in the cultural field and practical tips on how to deal with specific issues and problems, but you don't want us to sacrifice the concise nature of the newsletter. You're a challenging lot.
We took your advice though, and have added two new features this month, along with a design change that provides room for new content, while maintaining the brevity and efficiency of the original design.
As an incentive to get you to participate in the survey, we resorted to the time honored tradition of bribery. We offered 4Culture baseball caps to ten lucky random winners. And we also offered one very lucky winner an opportunity to promote him or herself or organization on our website and in the newsletter. We're very pleased to kick off one of our new features, "My Point of View", with words from our survey's Very Lucky Winner, composer Byron Au Yong.
Byron wrote a wonderful article that serves as the first of what we hope will be many comments and/or opinions written by you. We invite anyone who would like to express themselves on a cultural issue to submit an editorial to us, one of which we'll feature every month. Details on how to submit your opinion can be found later in the newsletter.
The second new feature is Ask 4C, a Q&A for technical assistance questions that you'd like answered. Okay, we admit we made up the first question to get the ball rolling, but you get the idea. If you have a question that you'd like to ask, please submit it to us. We invite any inquiry about arts, heritage, preservation, or public art or culture in general. We'll do our best to give you the answer.
In addition to the new features, you'll notice design changes as you read this month's newsletter as well. Based on your feedback, we've pared down the section listing community employment opportunities, among other things. While we'll continue to list job announcements—after all, you never know when you're going to need that information—the new format will take up less room in the newsletter. And some behind-the-scenes technical changes make this newsletter easier to read on your cell phone and PDA.
We hope these new features and others that we'll incorporate in future newsletters will make "news4culture" an even more enjoyable, interactive and informative read.
Thanks for your feedback and ideas. We are listening.

Executive Director

My Point of View provides a forum for ongoing culture-related dialogue. Each month, news4culture will feature the words of a guest writer, commenting on an issue related to arts, heritage, preservation and/or public art. It might be an opinion related to a current news story; maybe it's a rant, a rave, or a random thought about culture. Whatever it is, you write it and we'll print it.
I have always been suspicious of the words community and culture because I find myself on the outskirts no matter how hard I try to fit in. I smile when everyone is serious or cry when everyone laughs. Perhaps this is why I travel. The definition of a foreigner is someone who is out of place.
I just returned from London, Aldeburgh, New York, New Haven, and Portland. Next year, I will be in China and hopefully England again. The paradox of travel is that to get from here to there, you have to sit still. Travel has become going from empty seat to empty seat on the bus, taxi, airplane, or train.
Earlier this month, over 500 people attended the North American Taiko Conference held in Seattle. The participants came from places like Winnipeg, Utah and Vermont. Since I was home for the weekend and I was invited to teach, I joined the conference.
My composition workshop went well, but I especially enjoyed all the non-workshop moments such as looking for a breakfast burrito with New York Teddy and learning how to make boba-straw panpipes with Los Angeles George.
I became part of this taiko social network without logging on. I didn't post my photos on a Facebook or beats in a MySpace. Rather, by hanging out and smiling, I met Teddy, George and a bunch of other folks who have contributed to my definition of a taiko community and culture. I treasure these moments and think:
Communities and cultures develop slowly over time through the experience, dedication, support, and presence of unsuspecting individuals.
Less than 40 years ago kumi-daiko (group drumming) was introduced to North America. Since then, hundreds of taiko groups have popped up as if we were on a taiko-rabbit farm. I never thought that when I started playing over a dozen years ago, I'd be hopping around as a workshop leader working with groups around the world.
While people have always traveled and exchanged ideas, the mechanisms for connecting continually expand. You may be meeting me for the first time through this writing on the Internet, so... hello. Yet I hesitate to say that our up-to-now, one-sided interaction has anything to do with community or culture.
Then again, I'm here (or was here) and you're here (or will be here) thanks to 4Culture. We're travelers warming previously empty seats and while you might want to yell at me, I definitely want to yell at you. Travel, on an airplane or through cyberspace, makes me weary.
I am still suspicious of the words community and culture. To me, they signal a closed mathematical set. How do I find an artistic home in a country that values conformity over anarchy? I suggest adding the word "changing" to the equation.
Changing community and changing culture makes where I live and work dynamic. With flux in the mix, a cultural community such as one made up of North American taiko players thrives at all levels from large drums to boba-straw panpipes.

exhibition September 6 - 28, 2007
reception September 6, 2007, 6 to 8 p.m.
Gallery4Culture is pleased to present photography by Seattle artist Hugo Ludeña. Documentary photographer Ludeña illuminates the experience of being Latino in the Pacific Northwest by creating a visual narrative of everyday activities. He places special emphasis on Latino traditions as seen through the medium of social gatherings such as music, weddings, quinceañeras, food and festivals.
After moving to Seattle more than a decade ago, Ludeña was struck by the cultural separation he noted between Latinos and other groups. As he became involved in local research projects and Latino organizations, he was able to observe and photograph a community that has been rapidly integrated into larger society. For the past thirteen years, Ludeña has watched Latinos setting down roots.
This exhibition is a rich portrait about dynamic Seattle that may change the way we comprehend issues of cultural change. The images challenge simple assumptions about Latino culture in the Northwest. The exhibition honors Fiestas Patrias and Hispanic History Month.

4Culture welcomes Willow Fox as the new Public Art Program Assistant on the Public Art 4Culture team. Willow worked as a public artist in Corvalis and Eugene, OR for seven years before moving to Seattle to attend Cornish College of the Arts in 2004. During her time in school, she demonstrated an astonishing ability to juggle and successfully implement multiple projects at once – both at Cornish and as an intern at 4Culture – all while maintaining an unmistakable vision and personal flair. She graduated this May summa cum laude with a studio focus on sculpture, video, and installation work, and has since agreed to come on at 4Culture full time. As Program Assistant, she'll coordinate the administrative aspects of Public Art 4Culture's project management and consulting activities. She'll also manage the electronic calls for artist opportunity list, reaching over 3,000 people monthly, serve as the primary technical staff for all artist selection panels, and respond as the primary point of contact for information requests. She says she's excited to join a group of such passionate colleagues, all artists themselves. "4Culture is recognized as a leader in public art and cultural development in general," says Willow, "I'm thrilled to live in a region where I can be this closely involved in shaping the future of the field." Besides creating all kinds of art, she enjoys playing folk music from North Africa, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia. In her free time she likes to sew and embellish clothing, explore the green spaces of Seattle, and dream about where her next big travel adventures will be. We hope all roads will continue to lead back here to King County.

4Culture is seeking to acquire works on paper that use color (prints, photographs, drawings, paintings, etc.) for the King County Public Art Collection. These works will be on display throughout the public spaces of King County's facilities. Artists who would like their work considered for purchase must submit images of existing available artwork for the panel's review.
For over a quarter of a century, King County has been collecting outstanding works of art for display in public buildings, hospitals and health centers, gathering places and parks – making art part of the everyday experience for county residents and visitors. The Collection seeks to enhance and enrich the County's physical environment, celebrate the multi-cultural and diverse nature of its communities, and to contribute a sense of ownership and pride in the public facilities. From studio art jewelry to traditional paintings to land-based earthworks, the Collection is a civic resource rich in expression and art forms. Over 1,500 works by artists from the United States and Canada are displayed throughout the 2,200 square miles of King County.

www.maritimeheritage.net
Maritime Heritage Network, an online marketing collaboration by more than 80 maritime heritage groups in western Washington, has launched an innovative online maps application. The interactive maps show site users the locations of more than 100 historic ships, districts, maritime museums, and lighthouses in Puget Sound and the coast of Washington State. Part of 4Culture's Maritime Heritage Initiative, the MHN Interactive Map is believed to be the most comprehensive maritime heritage mapping tool available online. The project was funded by 4Culture and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The launch of the MHN Interactive Map sets the stage for the next phase of growth for Maritime Heritage Network, which began in 2005 as a method for promoting maritime heritage resources in King and Kitsap counties. 4Culture is exploring options for growing MHN into an independent not-for-profit, transferring ownership to an existing not-for-profit or government agency, and other options. A strategic plan may include giving MHN a national footprint while maintaining a strong regional presence in the Pacific Northwest. MHN staff is now consulting with maritime heritage organizations and other stakeholders to develop the best option. Plans call for completion of a transition sometime in 2008.

The Green Lake and Roosevelt communities may be bisected by I-5, but they've refused to be divided by it. Artist Sheila Klein's new work at the Roosevelt Green Lake Park & Ride is the evidence of a powerful new trend in civic engagement and an exciting work of art that inspires us to look for expressive opportunities in our existing infrastructure.
The I-5 underpass at Ravenna Boulevard and NE 65th St is a formidable expanse of freeway columns and parking lots. It's also the Roosevelt Green Lake Park & Ride and the main conduit between the Green Lake and Roosevelt neighborhoods. Seven years ago former Councilmember Cynthia Sullivan and the engaged citizens of the Roosevelt, Green Lake, and Ravenna communities identified the site as a priority for improvement. Thanks to King County's 1% for Art commitment and Sullivan's initial support, the site is now undergoing a transformation at the hands of artist Sheila Klein.
Rather than fight the formidable existing infrastructure, the artist decided she'd put it to work for her. In the first phase of her project, she's working with the site's own visual vocabulary: parking paint and concrete columns. "I didn't want to introduce something alien," she says but at the same time wanted to help dematerialize what she calls "the dark brutality of the freeway." By using colors taken from parking lot vernacular – white, blue and green – her painted graphics engage the existing infrastructure, animating the sculptural quality inherent in the columns and "taking bites" out of their solidity. She sees the work as a contemporary, 3-D painting where space and shape relationships can be actively entered and explored. In the spirit of embracing the realities of the site, she's also excited about the relationship that's bound to develop between her clean, formal shapes and the work of potential graffiti artists. "This project is not meant to be precious," she claims, explaining that for her "public art is about creating an engaged, dynamic relationship to place." It's this kind of relationship to place that communities across the nation are increasingly demanding – and achieving.
