Domonique Meeks received a 2016 Tech Specific grant to produce the second season of his documentary, Soul of Seattle. This project represents a unique intersection of not only tech and art, but brings topics like race, history, business, and more into the mix. We’re excited to see how it evolves and grows with the help of these funds:

I am a storyteller, information scientist, and documentary filmmaker. I co-host a podcast called No Blueprint that gathers stories from cultural ambassadors to discuss how they defy societal norms to pursue their passions. I am also the co-founder of Ambassador Stories, where our mission is to utilize media to highlight the people, places, and spaces that bring soul to our beloved communities.

I am excited to share my documentary series Soul of Seattle Season 2. It will look closely at entrepreneurs of color and their small businesses in the Southend and Central District neighborhoods of Seattle, Washington. We will hear their stories, their missions and what drive them. As our city booms from technology and land prices skyrocket, it is unfortunately a time of changing demographics in many ways including economically and ethnically for many underserved communities. The project will discuss how entrepreneurs and their businesses are responding, and what advice they have for their peers and individuals who follow.

Our hope is with the support of 4Culture and other local entities our story can inspire other filmmakers and entrepreneurs of color to continue to use their passion to create meaningful content.

Tech Specific is open now! Read the guidelines, join us for a workshop, and apply by September 28.

4Culture is proud to help fund the upcoming annual convening of Network of Ensemble Theaters (NET), which is headed to Seattle for its first national event in the Pacific Northwest! Here, the NET team shares a bit about what to expect:

Founded in the mid-1990s by a small group of ensemble theaters, NET has grown into a vibrant national community of over 350 ensembles, affiliate organizations, individuals, and students from multiple performance disciplines. Current NET members from the Seattle area include Akropolis Performance Lab, Fantastic.Z Theatre, Lucia Neare’s Theatrical Wonders, The Satori Group, theater simple, and UMO Ensemble.

In partnership with our local host, University of Washington School of Drama, Past Forward: 2017 NET National Gathering and Symposium will bring together NET members, artists, co-creators, practitioners, educators, scholars, students, activists, organizers, funders, policy-makers, and others from around the country with an interest in collaborative creation across disciplines and sectors. We invite you to join us June 22—25 for a jam-packed weekend of workshops, panels, performances, off-site outings, parties, networking, and more.

To celebrate NET’s past 20 years of expanding ensemble practice, Past Forward will honor the diversity of the ensemble movement’s powerful legacy and collectively imagine our way to what’s next. Topics include:

• Artistic lineage and legacy in the ensemble movement.
• Resonance between Indigenous knowledge and cultures and ensemble-based approaches.
• Enhanced storytelling through immersive media and emerging technologies.
• Art and community collaborations addressing xenophobia and building empathy.
• Collaborative practice and collective action in movement and network building.

Of special interest to locals, we are offering three pre-conference sessions on Thursday, June 22, and a limited number of partially-subsidized registrations for attendees from within King County, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, and for more information, please visit our website!

Event details:
What: Past Forward: 2017 NET National Gathering and Symposium

Andy Behrle
ebb & flow

Multiple video files capturing the textures and colors or water in nature at various locations throughout Washington are layered to become a single composition. As in nature, these microcosms combine to create a beautifully interdependent system. The footage used was collected at Neah Bay, 8mile Creek (North Cascades), Edmonds Bay, Puget Sound, Grand Coulee, Irrigation Canals (Yakima County), Hanford Reach (Columbia River near Tri-Cities), and Lake Crescent.

Without the ocean, there is no rain. Without rain, there are no streams. Without streams, there are no rivers. Without rivers, there would be no lakes and inland rain water could not return to the ocean.

About the Artist: Born and raised outside of Boston, Massachusetts, Behrle holds a BA in Philosophy and Religion and Studio Art from Elmira College, N.Y and an MFA in Sculpture from Arizona State University. Water and light have been important materials in Behrle’s large scale time-based artworks since the early 2000’s. Since relocating to Washington’s Yakima Valley in 2012, he has been capturing and re-contextualizing digital video footage of the region’s waterways to create immersive installations and dynamic displays.

Blake Marques Carrington 
The Year We Make Contact

The Year We Make Contact is a silent video generated from sound — an audio recording of a psychoanalysis session between the artist and a therapist. Inspiration comes from a 40-year debate active in theoretical physics called the Information Loss Paradox, where scientists argue over whether information can truly be lost if it falls into a black hole. The work is part of a larger theme over the last several years called Speculative Forensics, which focuses on the discarding of information inherent to translation and transcoding, and the hidden manifold of data always out of our reach.

The work is created with a custom software system that allows the artist to draw and manipulate digital audio waveforms.  For this version made especially for the 4-channel site at e4c, the imagery is scaled at four distinct resolutions.  These four scales emphasize the spectrum from discrete information unit (starting at the screen furthest to the right), to the quasi-representational image (ending at the screen furthest to the left) that emerges from those basic units.  The ever-shifting flow of images are not shot, made or captured; they coalesce and evolve within the invented system.

About the Artist: Blake Marques Carrington works within the spheres of the visual, sound and performing arts.  As a sound artist he writes and performs original audiovisual compositions and is soon to release his third full-length album titled “A Weak Force That Binds”.  Parallel to his work in the ambient/electronic music context, he has had solo visual art exhibitions at VisArts Rockville, Contemporary Art Center New Orleans, Philadelphia Photo Arts Center, and Central Utah Art Center, featuring a range of work from inkjet painting to video installation using custom software systems, all in dialogue with sound in a more conceptual way.

Elizabeth Withstandley 
You Can Not Be Replaced

You Can Not Be Replaced is a multi-channel video installation featuring images of all 82 current and former members of the Dallas choral symphonic rock band, The Polyphonic Spree. The video is accompanied by an audio track that combines ambient cosmic recordings, spoken word and partial renditions of The Polyphonic Spree song It’s the Sun performed by former band members Andrew Tinker and Corn Mo.

The band itself was formed fifteen years ago and over that time people have come in and out of the band, some calling it almost a rite of passage in the Dallas music scene. In the piece, the band members are represented in their signature stage-ware of a white robe, giving them a cult-like appearance.  Although the musicians have each brought something unique to this band, the sheer number of them forces one to ask the question, who are they? Are they memorable? Unique? Individual? The series recognizes and questions the notion of one’s individual importance as it cycles through a soundtrack leaving one wondering whether they are replaceable.

About the Artist: Elizabeth Withstandley is from Cape Cod, Mass. She lives and works in Los Angeles, Calif. She is one of the co-founders of Locust Projects in Miami, Fla.  Selected recent exhibitions include From Far Away Across The Universe, Torrance Art Museum, Torrance, Calif, The Accident, Winslow Garage, Los Angeles, Calif. She has also shown work at Dimensions Variable, the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, The Moore Space, Miami, Fredric Snitzer, Miami, The Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota, The Tel Aviv Artists’ Studios, Israel, The Bass Museum, Miami, Cultural Center, Sao Paolo Brazil. Her work has been featured in Art Papers, The Miami Herald, and The New Times.

In March, the University of Washington published Seattle Walks: Discovering History and Nature in the City by local natural history writer David B. Williams, author of Too High and Too Steep: Resphaping Seattle’s Topography.

Williams’ new book contains 17 walks, which weave together the history, natural history, and architecture of Seattle to paint a complex, nuanced, and fascinating story. The walks provide an appreciation of how the city has changed over time, how the past has influenced the present, and how nature is all around us—even in our urban landscape. Partial funding for the book was provided by 4Culture through an Art Projects grant.

We asked Williams if he could share some insights into his work on the book.

What inspired you to write a book of walks?

I have been walking in Seattle for most of my life and to me there is no better way to get to know the city than on foot. You move at just the right pace to notice details, to be able to pause and look carefully, and to interact with people and the landscape. I hoped that I could share my enthusiasm for Seattle and its history by providing a series of walks that highlighted the magic of this place.

Can anyone do the walks?

Yes, they range in distance from 1.1 to 7 miles and go primarily on sidewalks. Most are round trip, and several are downtown, where I did try to avoid the hills when I could. The one way walks are set up so that you can take bus back to the start. For most of these walks, I tested them on people of all ages, including my mom’s walking group, which has several people in their 80s. All of them completed the walks. One thing great about urban walking is that if the walk’s too long, you can generally find a nice coffeeshop, library, or bench to stop and rest, or do the walk over two days.

What surprised you most in your research?

That’s easy, I found an underground bunker on Pigeon Point, the ridge on the west side of the Duwamish River. It has an amazing history from its use during World War II to protect transmission equipment that connected Alaska to the lower 48 states to groundbreaking research in bone-marrow transplants, which led to a Nobel Prize.

Do you have a favorite walk?

I am quite partial to Who’s Watching You?, which explores the carved and terra cotta figures in downtown. The walk goes by eagles, lions’ heads, grotesques (carved human heads), a horse, and several mythical beasts. It was great fun to wander the streets looking for animals. I felt like I was on a safari. One note—I recommend a pair of binoculars to find figures high atop buildings.

David is leading two walks for free, based on walks in the book! As these walks have limited space, please sign up for only one of them, and each individual must sign up separately. After you register, David will contact you with information on where the walk begins and other details:

International District and Regrades
Saturday, May 13, 10:00 am —12:00 pm
Register
While Denny Hill may be the most famous regrade in Seattle’s history, it was neither the largest nor the deepest. Completed between 1907 and 1909, the Jackson Street Regrade altered the greatest number of surface acres in a single project.  On this 1.8 mile walk, we will travel the lesser known Jackson and Dearborn regrades, as well as explore the International District and recently renovated King Street Station.

The Protean Coastline
Saturday, May 13, 2:00—4:00 pm
Register
From its earliest days,  Seattle builders altered the natural landscape to best suit their needs.  Developers removed hills, filled tidal flats, and created a completely new downtown shoreline.  On this 1.5 mile walk,  we’ll explore the last vestiges of the former downtown bluffs, trace the island where Seattle was founded, and examine how the subterranean fill still affects the modern terrain. This is an easy walk, but does include one flight of 35 stairs.

4Culture is opening up shop in Kent, with Hello 4Culture, and we thought it was a good time to check in with Ronda Billerbeck, the Cultural Programs Manager for the City of Kent and Director of the Kent Arts Commission, to see what she’s working on these days. We were excited to learn about one of their new programs, which includes an dynamic way to participate in the arts. We asked Ronda to share her news:

The Kent Arts Commission is proud to announce the launch of Kent Creates. This web platform for sharing art, culture, and creative endeavors is meant to be a community of imagination and inspiration for anyone who creates or seeks to be inspired by creativity.

Kent Creates is for artists, musicians, writers, crafters, illustrators, dancers, filmmakers, hobbyists, and other creatives to share their work and meet people with similar interests. Creative work of all kinds may be shared on KentCreates.com  – drawings, cartoons, recipes, do-it-yourself how-to videos, short films, and anything else creative minds can dream up.

The project started as a dream to involve and engage the public on a new level. Instead of commissioning an artist to make a piece of art to be passively experienced and enjoyed by the public, Kent Creates encourages Kent residents to be the artists.

We recognized a national trend – Individuals taking a more hands-on role in their participation of arts and culture, and often using technology to that end. Kent Creates is a response to these shifts in the way we generate and consume creative material.

The Kent Arts Commission believes strongly in the power of art to transform the lives of individuals and communities, and that creative pursuits are truly for everyone – not just professional artists. We know Kent – and the larger Puget Sound region – is home to a wealth of creativity including writers, musicians, singers, photographers, filmmakers, and others keeping traditional ethnic arts alive. We are pleased to implement Kent Creates to build connections through showcasing that creativity.

An Inaugural Exhibit was held in October and November of 2015 to launch and test Kent Creates; it garnered 48 submissions including photography, collage, painting, piano composition, poetry and more. The Kent Arts Commission voted on submissions and, in keeping with the Commission’s commitment to pay artists for their work, the top five pieces received $100 honorariums. The winners’ work also appears on the featured carousel on the Kent Creates homepage.

The five winners from the Inaugural Exhibit are: John Armstrong (photography), Mary Ann Cagley (encaustic photo transfer), Jamie Greene (watercolor), Arries McQuarter (piano composition), and Naoko Morisawa (mosaic collage).

The next exhibit for Kent Creates is open January 23 through March 31 and focuses on the theme of “Home.” The call for entries reads:

What does ‘home’ mean to you? In today’s world, many people move far away from the place they were born and raised, to distant cities, states, and countries. As a result, our communities are more diverse with people from varied ethnic, religious, socio-economic, and geographic backgrounds. Despite our differences, home is a common concept, one that elicits strong feelings, memories, and hopes. Is home where you currently live? Is it where you’re from? Is home a place or is it a feeling? Is it a group of people, a memory, or even a period of time? What is HOME?

Work may be submitted through March 31, 2017 – at which time the exhibit will close. The Kent Arts Commission will select the top five pieces, which will receive $100 honorariums and featured status on the site.

Kent Creates is free to use and anyone, anywhere can sign up; there is no requirement to live in Kent.

“Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.” – Alphonse Karr, French novelist (1808-90)

Will the new administration eliminate the NEA, NEH, and CPB? We hear rumblings from the other Washington that Republicans in Congress are newly emboldened to achieve the long-desired goal of shutting down federal support for the arts and humanities and the commercialization of the Corporation of Public Broadcasting. After all, there is nothing in the Constitution about supporting public television or that arts and humanities contribute to the public good.

The above quote translates to “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” Yes, we will once again be pitched in a fight to save the pittance the federal government invests in community creativity, and civics. Advocates for arts and humanities in the Congress—and they are many—have successfully resisted these efforts in the past and they will be geared up to resist again. It helps mightily when Congress hears from you.

We have recently been asked how the elimination of the NEA would impact 4Culture. Many are concerned that 4Culture would have to reduce grants if federal funds evaporate. Not to worry. 4Culture is in no way dependent on NEA funding, except for partial support we receive for initiative projects. While 4Culture won’t be seriously impacted, we know that important state and local programs could lose critical funds, and we empathize with the anxiety facing every group whose services depend upon the NEA’s dollars. And we add our voice to all those who believe in creativity as the currency of tolerance.

We state as clearly and strongly as we can: all are welcome at 4Culture. We acknowledge that government institutions have historically not been strong partners to people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ people, trans people, the poor, the disabled, and more. 4Culture commits to amplifying the voices of those who have been excluded, and to building trust in our relationships with these communities.

As our region’s leaders reaffirm the values of inclusiveness and openness even at the risk of losing federal funding, we stand with them. 4Culture has long prided itself on finding creative ways to meet the needs of all county residents—that will never change.

Sincerely,
Jim Kelly

Our first grant deadline of the new year is coming up fast! Facilities makes it possible for our region’s cultural organizations to buy, build, and renovate the spaces that are their homes, and we’re excited to be able to open it this year.

Facilities is available for major building projects—it does not fund feasibility studies, tools, basic building maintenance, or repairs. A good rule of thumb if you’re wondering if your organization’s building project is eligible: if you can budget for it in your normal fiscal year it probably is not. If, however, you have a separate budget for the project and are actively raising money to fund it, you should consider applying.

Recipients of our 2015 Building for Culture grants are eligible, as are those who have received funding for building projects through our Emergency grant. Cities and other municipalities, as well as universities and social service organizations are also eligible, however, your application must demonstrate that a siginificant portion of your organization’s programming is dedicated to arts and heritage. Please carefully read the full guidelines before beginning your application.

Apply by Wednesday, February 22, 2017 at 5:00 pm PST.
