Rallying Against “Most Miserable City” Rankings
Earlier this month, Forbes released another one of its ranking lists, which I assume are only created in order to gain attention and web traffic—“America’s Most Miserable Cities.”
This list is one that tends to pick on the same communities that have been forced into our heads as places you don’t want to live, work, go to school, etc., yet, there are residents doing all of these things in each and every one of them.

At the Crossroads of the Rustbelt and the Artist Belt
In the second week of April, when St. Louis was blooming with an early spring, 292 people came for Rustbelt to Artist Belt: At the Crossroads—an arts-based community development convening—to be part of the discussion about the arts and social change.
This conference combined the three Rustbelt to Artist Belt meetings that took place in Cleveland and Detroit with the At the Crossroads convening that took place in St. Louis in 2010.

November 2013 Elections Recap
Depending on where you live, the past several months might have inundated you with campaign ads (Virginia), or left you wondering – what election? Off year elections are like that, with some people hardly even noticing there was an election. While not as dramatic as even year elections, there were a fair amount of changes that should positively impact the arts overall.

Yes, Corporations Still Fund the Arts (from Arts Watch)
As this title suggests, corporations ARE still funding the arts, and they’re finding creative ways to do so.
Recent funding cuts have hit mid-sized and small cities throughout the country particularly hard. This is especially true in rural and underserved areas.
Although not quite underserved/rural, Cincinnati has become a great example of how cultural events, festivals, concerts, and competitions bring visibility, income, and fun to communities throughout the country.

The Arts Create Extraordinary Shared Experiences
We love the stuff that brings people together to experience special and fun things that can only happen here.
On Tuesday, May 3, legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma performed with the Cincinnati Symphony for almost 3,500 people, filling every seat in our beautiful, historic Music Hall.
The performance was so highly-anticipated that it was sold-out for months in advance, leaving hundreds of fans without tickets.

Public Support for the Arts – A Success Story
With each day’s news, we read about further reductions in public arts funding at the state and federal level. We are all challenged to, yet again, help our public officials see the value in supporting institutions such as our state arts councils, under threat as our states look for solutions to budget gaps.
Permit me to provide a glimmer of hope in this otherwise dark time, and let me tell you about the success story that is Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.

White House Gathers Arts ‘Champions of Change’
On July 19, I attended a productive meeting at the White House Executive Office Building. The event, coordinated by the President’ Committee on the Arts and Humanities and the White House Office of Public Engagement, was called Champions for Change: Winning the Future Across America.
Some dozen Champions were on hand to react and provide good local examples of how arts interventions made positive change and could contribute to making the case for advancing arts education in America.

TACLing Collaboration
“There was nothing to do here.” That was Toledo’s myth.
Sure, if you bought it as it is often packaged, you would see Toledo, OH as a barren, struggling post-industrial city with a bleak future and little cultural vitality. Toledo is near bull’s eye center in the “rust belt” region, frequently discounted on a whim and cast with a left-for-dead mentality too often projected on to mid-size Midwestern cities.

Backyard Diplomacy: International Cultural Engagement & Local Arts Agencies (from Arts Watch)
Quick — point to Dublin, OH on a map.
How about Clinton County, MI; Douglasville, GA; or Missoula, MT? (Zero points if one of those cities is your hometown).
For those of us with a few years between elementary school geography and the present, it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise if these seemingly arbitrary locations elude us.
