This past week at the Deer Valley Rock Art Center, a youth program sponsored by Free Arts of Arizona (paid for by a Free Arts grant) welcomed approximately 25 American Indian teenagers into this learning site. Casandra Hernandez is the Education & Programs Manager at the center affiliated with ASU School of Human Evolution & Social Change College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, dvrac.asu.edu These youth met for the week’s summer camp learning about all of the relevant subjects associated with the Rock Art Center accompanied by the Free Arts Staff, Emily & trained volunteers. There were five specific themes, alternating each day with accompanying American Indian guest presenters and art making activities, chosen to illustrate the daily focus of learning. Staff of the Cultural Arts Coalition facilitated two art making activities for all the youth. One occurred on Wed., July 13th and the second of Fri., July 15th: Anthropological focus of Wed. was Studying Ourselves, Prehistoric Cultures of Arizona & Storytelling. The youth created action figures of heroes, thoughtful warriors or ancestors. The art history lesson presented by the CAC staff focused on the Katsina figures of the Hopi www.nanact.org/encounter-the-people/hopi/hopi-katsinas.html and the visual art of Dennis Numkena, Hopi artist www.numkena.com. The youth then created their own figures as representations of thoughtful reflections on this subject from cloth and wooden forms. freeartsaz.org Judy Butzine & Melanie Ohm (co-directors of the CAC) gave honor to two board members, Silvia Rodriguez-Vega and Dulce Juarez; their guests who have provided so much love and support to these dear young women; as well as all those individuals who have contributed to the Cultural Arts Coalition over these many years. According to ancient wisdom-keepers, Summer Solstice is the time when the Mother Goddess (Gaia) is viewed as heavily pregnant; the sun reaches the peak of its power; and the earth is green while she holds the promise of a bountiful harvest. Silvia & Dulce are the bearers of promise of a bountiful harvest for our community through their academic achievements. Also in attendance and given acknowledgment/respect for their community arts endeavors were Carmen and Zarco Guerrero www.zarkmask.com They have been engaged in this community arts/activism work for the past 15 years. They hold a place in our community for human rights... They sit in front of a painting created during an arts workshop facilitated with Robert Miley www.releasethefear.org at Homes Boys & Girls Club called, ”Brother Brother Stop”, music by Sister Sledge also 15 years ago. Hugo Medina's mission for the past few months has been to raise money for the historic-building-turned-arts-venue in hopes of "saving" it from foreclosure at the end of 2011. "We are being taxed out by the county," says Icehouse owner Helen Hestenes. "We are one of the largest alternative arts projects in the U.S." When threaded together, these lighted balls in the image above stand for unity, togetherness, and solidarity. This installation is a metaphor for the way the artists in the greater Phoenix community came together to "Save the Ice House". The one night exhibition and celebration was a total community, volunteer endeavor facilitated by persons like Hugo and hung with artworks by more than 120 artists with Hugo and Thuong Nguyen in charge of this incredible visual arts' process. The act of leadership conveyed by artists and others during this planning and action event demonstrates an art of being inclusive, participatory, and collaborative. This kind of participatory behavioral process which unfolded provided the arts community with an outcome that supported and promoted ALL its citizens-connecting them across all cultural and social boundaries. 'TAIKO EXPLOSION’ @ JAPANESE FRIENDSHIP GARDEN last night paid tribute to Esther Vandecar, Taiko teacher in Phoenix for almost 20 years. Fushicho Daiko was founded by Esther in 1992 upon her return to the United Dates after 7 years of living, studying, performing and teaching Taiko in Japan. Esther brought Taiko to the Valley, performing both traditional & original Taiko songs through drumming with power, energy, skill and joy in schools, colleges, detention centers & communities. In this move to be with her family in the East Esther leaves behind students who have become the teachers. Much love to Esther as she continues teaching Taiko as an art form and proving this gift of drumming and song to humanity. Alvin Hart is the the Residential Paraprofessional in ASU’s Global Village Residential Community, Cholla Hall. Alvin invited judy butzine, co-founder and co-director of the Cultural Arts Coalition, ArtsCARE.org/cac.intro.shtml, to be a speaker during the evening honoring the departing international students and to facilitate an art making activity for ASU Study Abroad Office Center for Global Education Services’ youth. Michael Girsch is the International Coordinator studyabroad.asu.edu International students living within ASU Global Village were to not only create a “Memory Stick” as a physical form of what they have learned during their time at ASU, but paint a canvas. Judy (CAC) discussed the value of the arts in their communities as a primary means of uniting people around issues of tension and conflict. Today, the term "Global Village" is mostly used as a metaphor to describe the concept that physical distance is even less of a hindrance to the communicative activities of people from countries and cities separated by thousands of miles. Social spheres are greatly expanded by the openness at which people can create communities and interact with others sharing the same interests and concerns. This new reality has implications for forming new sociological structures within the context of culture. The ladies responsible for ASU DT Phoenix campus Community Arts Engagement: Malissa Geer & Jessica Shea~ Staff of Community Engagement Liaison, the Office of Dean Debra Friedman, College of Public Programs. These events and programs The "Action, Advocacy, Arts" series of activities emphasize the strength of community dialogue and engagement. They featured the 411 Gallery Spring Exhibition & the artists who created these paintings, Interactive Art Tables, Live Music, Live Art, Henna & MORE! The ASU community joined the First Friday Art Walk to showcase mixed media works on display at University Center, 411 N. Central Ave. The Urban Art Exhibition includes more than 600 pieces of artwork primarily focusing on pressing social issues. Admission was free. For details, contact Malissa Geer at 602-496-0968 or Malissa.Geer@asu.edu. In the image above Mitra Kamali, one of the presenting artists, has been featured at ASU DT campus exhibitions on other occasions having been introduced by members of the Cultural Arts Coalition, a networking arts group. Please refer to the collaborative work the ASU DT campus and the CAC have created together during the past 5 years. CAC & Community Collaborators for Peace Exhibition - artsCARE.org/cac.event.56.shtml and Peace Celebration, International Day of Peace Closing Ceremony - artsCARE.org/cac.event.61.shtml Art tour has become one of the biggest parties in downtown Phoenix, with about 20,000 people converging on the town down to partake of the spirits, listen to music and enjoy lots of visual and performance arts. There are many more galleries and studio spaces included in this yearly version than on first and third Fridays, drawing bigger crowds because there's more time to spend with the art and interact with the artists. This community endeavor is organized by Artlink, a non-profit that helps organize downtown's art festivals. www.artlinkphoenix.com. "Events such as Art Detour bring in a very diverse audience, many of whom are experiencing the artworld for the very first time. An opportunity to purchase a quality work of art at this event at a very reasonable price can be a lifetime hook to an individual, building a collector for life. Sometimes it is the long term vision and approach that may work best." John Spiak, curator ASU Art Museum On January 20, 2011, Native Trails, presented by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and produced by the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, debuted its ninth season of free noontime festivals dedicated to exploring the rich and varied cultures of Native America. You are invited to come along on this sensory journey to the First Nations of Arizona and North America. Musical performances using traditional instruments such as flutes, gourds and drums delight your ears. A variety of colorful dances ranging from inter-tribal pow wow dances to the excitement and energy of the hoop dance amazes your eyes. And the rhythmic drumbeat in your chest as you join the performers for a traditional round dance energizes your spirit. The performers of Native Trails represent a variety of First Nations from across North America. In addition to Derrick Suwaima Davis (Hopi/Choctaw), the artistic director of Native Trails, this year's cast includes: Perry Thompson (Diné), Tony Duncan (San Carlos Apache, Arikara/Hidatsa/Mandan), Violet Duncan (Northern Cree), Ryon Polequaptewa (Hopi), Yolanda Tsosie (Diné), Eldred Matt (San Carlos Apache/Colville Confederated Nations of Washington State), and Toby Jose (Akimel O'Odham). This year's production of Native Trails is also honored to include gifted musician and Taiko drummer Ken Koshio of Japan. "Dance, music, theater and visual arts are everywhere in our lives, adding depth and dimension to the environment we live in and shaping our experiences, often so deeply that we are unaware of their presence. In any other civilization, the arts are inseparable from the meaning of the term 'education'." Rational Statement for the Arts Standards www.ade.state.az.us/standards/arts/arts-rationale.asp This weekend's Matsuri at Heritage Square exemplifies the arts that persons in other cultures surround themselves with as a natural expression of their everyday lives. It also expands the definition of the arts in community settings that are essential to our very being. As one walked around in this "Vital Setting" one was continuously ENGAGED AS A PARTICIPANT in creative expression as were all the performers. On February 14, 2011, trees were planted in various communities throughout Arizona marking the 99th birthday of Arizona as symbols of life, growth and opportunity - we were inspired to plant trees in the wake of the events of January 8th in Tucson - go to healingtrees.org for more information. For those of you that have not scheduled your tree planting yet - send an email and we will help you get that done! For those of you just learning about this program you can participate by 1) Planting a tree in your community, at a public place, a school, a community center, a faith community, the list goes on! 2) Donating resources, like trees, digging holes for planting trees, $$ to purchase trees, $$ to purchase books (we plan to gift the book "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein to the schools where we plant trees) 3) Send the information to your community, stay up on the latest news by signing up for our email blast at HealingTrees.org Human Rights meet Civil Rights ~ An Exhibition Arizona is in a turmoil of conversation about rights and who has them. Arguments often call upon civil and/or human rights for evidence. What are these rights? This collection of artworks reflects the journeys of individuals & communities taking thoughtful passage across this landscape of rights and responsibility: * What are Human Rights? * What are Civil Rights? * How do they relate to one another? * What is my responsibility in these conversations? * Who is going to take the journey with me? This exhibition is dedicated to those who are committed to our democratic process for upholding the liberties we cherish. During this time, we honor those persons who were shot in Tucson on Jan. 15th, 2011, and U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords for her efforts on behalf of human & civil rights. The artwork above comes from juveniles in the Lower Buckeye Jail who are provided with creative means to reflect upon their strengths and consider better choices upon their release. The Thoughtful Warrior (TW) came about through a partnership of the CAC and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Juvenile Education Section under Principal Debra Miller. The TW 6-week program is facilitated 3 times per year with 6 annual Warrior’s Circles for graduates still on site, supporting positive, self-reflective action in juveniles. http://artsCARE.org/cac.intro.shtml The origins of Planetary Dance® began more than 30 years ago as an effort by dance pioneer, Anna Halprin, to create collaborative, participatory movement experiences. During this significant shared time & place we facilitated an opportunity to examine and explore how movement to the beat of the drum becomes a unifying agent to catalyze interaction, communication and awareness of the interrelationship that people have with each other and their world. The Advent Service of Darkness and Light had been available before the Winter Solstice Celebration. Archdeacon Veronica Ritson led the way for the parishioners to join those in the circle to the drum beat initiated by Annie Loyd. It was a night of light rain and cool breeze blowing through this urban site, as we entered, summoned by the combined pulsing of drums by Vito Vissicaro and Keith Johnson. Pegge Vissicaro explained the process of entering the designated earth run to the drums’ sound by setting a personal intention for an "act of thoughtful peace building in our community". The Blessings by Archdeacon Ritson: May we find Hope in the lights we have kindled on this sacred night, hope in one another & in all who form the web-work of peace & justice that spans the world... By Edward Hays from Prayers for a Planetary Pilgrim. This activity occurred within the Lower Buckeye Jail with juveniles who had already been through a 6 week program with a team of educators/presenters: Melanie Ohm, judy butzine & Deb Salac-Ashforth. OBJECTIVES of lesson: 1. Participants examine & explore skills for awareness of objects as a means to focus on self–mind, breath control, movement-toward personal wellness in rituals of preparation & celebration. 2. Participants experience skill sets using literature for self-reflection & dialogue. 3. Participants are introduced to cultural history lesson concerning a rattle as a physical metaphor/a means of communication & expression beyond decoration. 4. Participants experience self-expression, decision-making & problem-solving in creating a rattle. Circle of Power – final reflections and connections: The important thing to me today is the rattle because it represents my happy place - when me and my family laid on the driveway and look at the stars... I liked how we got to do things with our imagination again, the way we wanted and got to concentrate on it. The rattle celebrates me and my daughter because I made it for her. One of the young men noted that the Thoughtful Warrior program helped him get his head straight. Through the 6 months of “Creativity and Socialization” initiatives provided at the WWHo by the Cultural Arts Coalition, two residents had been identified to provide the musical background and lead the group in singing the holiday songs selected for the day. The residents are all very appreciative of this kind of outside volunteer programming due to the WWHo financial restraints of funding and employee availability on site to provide additional celebratory events. This component for the day’s activities was bolstered by the singing of the ASU Nursing staff, family, and former students who came to the site to provide their joyful and uplifting voices. The staff the Westward Ho under the Directorship of Linda Spencer has expressed their gratitude for the collaborative involvement in this residential care facility that is meeting the economic, physical and emotional needs of a lower economic community of individuals. Artists were contracted for a performance to create a welcoming space to share and celebrate an atmosphere and JOY for global music/dance and thoughts of Peace Building activities. The festival was open to the public and many came. Besides this facility being one of the oldest buildings in down town Phoenix, it is one of the most beautiful architectural sites, representative of its time. Visual arts were exhibited to represent the concept of creating a culture of harmony through symbols as metaphors. The painting above is by Dennis Numkena, Hopi, a visual story of the coming of peace through a tolerance for all. The Fushicho Taiko Drummers were phenomenal and provided an ambience of togetherness with uplifting vibration and movement that surrounded us. Ken Koshio sang Peace folk songs and later had the audience singing along to a Peace tune he had written for the evening. Lowell Elementary School students were also a part of the program. Under the dance instruction of C-c Braun and the musical direction of Dr. Dianne Anderson-Nickel these students have been practicing 5 months in preparation for this performance. The event and this community interaction could not have occurred without the collaborative support of many individuals and organizations. Ken Koshio is from Japan and connected us to the rhythms of the day throughout the practice. Ben Boomer began with a blessing to the seven directions as everyone moved to that focus and mediated on the return to one’s sacred center for the day of mindful movements in this tranquil environment. Sharon Stetter facilitated the morning sponsored in part by the Arizona Yoga Association, the Cultural Arts Coalition and the Arizona Commission on the Arts. Located at the: Margaret T Hance Park, 1125 N. 3rd Ave, a top the I-10 Tunnel in downtown Phoenix. We all thank Diana Larowe, Executive Director of the Japanese Garden and tea room, for making the space available. japanesefriendshipgarden.org Through Christy’s interaction with not only the residents, but the ASU Nursing staff that comes into this facility twice a week to provide wellness services and educational instruction, Christy facilitated a bead activity for over 30 individuals. The theme of the workshop was to not only create an origami crane as a metaphor for peace, but to add beads as a means to set intentions for creating a culture of peace through diverse acts of Peace Building. The residents of all ages and backgrounds worked together to make this event Fun and Informative for all. Abby one of the younger residents also assists with art making instruction at PSA Art Awakenings artawakenings.org meets and talks to Kay Jarrell, Clinical Nursing Director of the ASU Nursing students. Abby has been a key resident in conveying the need for this kind of “interactive programming” to build community within WWH. She is always on site to assist with a loving heart where ever she is needed. Every nursing student had time to learn about the purposefulness of this activity and to create their own bracelet with meaning. Tigermountain Foundation is an organization that utilizes ABCD (Asset Based Community Development) to bring sustainability back to the community. ABCD is bringing the assets of a community to benefit the development of the community. TMF builds communities with the concept that if everyone participates and bring their unique gifts to the table, a once dormant field can be converted into a series of beneficial opportunity to that community. Tigermountain uses a model of multi ethnic, multi cultural, intergenerational partnerships to create a vast base of assets to bring to the table. The tidal wave of participation leads to opportunity for all. For example: an attorney, nurse, or accountant who wants to become a volunteer for TMF has an opportunity to satisfy their want to do things for the community, while also providing an opportunity to network with like business professionals. Tigermountain brought these assets together by creating community gardens as meeting places to not only bring nutritious, affordable, accessible foods but to also educate and stimulate the same community. http://www.tigermountainfoundation.org/ Endless Breath Entertainment, founded in 2010, is focused on continuing education about the indigenous cultures of our world, and honoring their existence and preservation as well as encouraging their integration into modern music culture. In a society where music and extracurricular activities are being cut from school programs, we are personally moved by the need for affordable music education and awareness, especially for youth. As Social Entrepreneurs, we strive to generate social change, cooperation, communication, and spiritual wealth in our communities. Nearly 100% of the ticket purchase pays for and supports the amazing group of teachers and musicians who will be spending time with us at 3DFest. Your dollar was spent thoughtfully, selflessly, and with intention. 3DFest is obsessed with saving you money. http://www.az3dfest.com/ The Westward Ho is an old hotel in downtown Phoenix that has been converted into 225 apartments with over 300 residents of poorer economic means as a HUD-Assisted property. The Cultural Arts coalition continues to outreach into community facilities that will advantage from arts programming as a means to build and sustain healthy communities. One of the Goals of the Cultural Arts Coalition is to provide spaces and opportunities for persons to engage in dialogue, experiences, and research that expand the definition and understanding of the role of the arts in enriching our daily lives in community and academic settings. It came to our attention that due to limited funding for any resident programming at this site a need is being addressed by the CAC. It is the CAC’s long term goal to build a downtown support network with other non-profits to assist with the creative and socialization needs of this population. Arizona MALCS Institute July 22-24, 2010 ASU West & ASU Downtown Phoenix Campuses MALCS is an interdisciplinary association of Chicana/Latina and Native American scholars from different institutions and disciplines who work in academia and community settings to bring visibility to Chicana/Latina and Native women’s scholarship and issues. Due to the collective decision by the MALCS membership to honor the boycott of Arizona, the MALCS national conference originally planned was not held. However, a statewide Summer Institute was hosted to address issues, organize, and strategize with respect to the legislation (SB 1070, SB 2282) and other dehumanizing laws and actions underway in Arizona. The 3 day Institute was Co-Chaired by: Dr. C. Alejandra Elenas and Dr. Gloria H. Cuadras, both professors at Arizona State University. Gloria.Cuadraz@asu.edu ELENES@asu.edu SB1070 - "An Artist's Point Of View" Date: Saturday, July 24, 2010 Time: 6:00pm - 10:00pm Location: ALAC Arizona Latino Arts & Cultural Center 147 East Adams St. Phoenix, AZ 85004 Renowned urban artists and the public met to experience the artworks and to dialogue on opening night concerning the issue of SB 1070. This event also featured painting demonstrations by Generro Garcia, original music by Linda Bilque and Guillermo Saenz, poetry by Francisco Garcia and Holly Parsons. The FUSION Foundation (Annie Loyd, Director) in collaboration with ALAC (Arizona Latino Arts & Cultural Center), The Anti-Defamation League, The Arizona Hispanic Forum, Despins Printing | Splash Media, Mouth To Mouth Media, and N'Touch Magazine, invited the community to participate in the night's premier of the exhibit entitled "SB1070 - An Artist's Point of View." Annie Loyd, 602-999-2424 or annie@thefusionfoundation.org. In an effort to continue to reinforce the 6 weeks of classes presented to the juveniles at Lower Buckeye Jail over a 6 week period of time Melanie Ohm, project coordinator, requested Thuong Nguyen to tell his personal story of perseverance and present an art making activity to the youth. The class participated in a variety of activities to guide them through a process of planning, understanding, persistence, self reflection and personal decision making around their personal dreams and intentions. Not only was the book Sadako by Eleanor Coerr and Ed Young a focus of discussion (a story of one child’s journey to heal herself of leukemia, the result of the H-bomb dropped on Hiroshima), but the creating of an origami crane as a symbolic act of Peace and patience was created while listening to music by Shi De called Dechen (timeless peace songs have been specially written and composed in the ancient Tibetan mantra tradition). The lesson plan for this art making process can be found at http://artsCare.org/peacepals.2.shtml The Museum of Northern Arizona's Hopi festival was started by Museum founders Harold and Mary-Russell Ferrell Colton 76 years ago in an effort to encourage the survival of Hopi arts and crafts. The festival is a tradition of Hopi families. Many of today's artisans remember when they were children and assisted their parents at this Hopi celebration. “It’s a time that’s focuses on seeing each together. So it is a purposeful gathering.” Anne Doyle, heritage-program manager at the museum. Hopis of all ages gather at this unique venue, not only to sell their wares, but also to have the chance for the public to get to know them better. There were discussions about the Hopi values of humility, cooperation, respect, balance and Earth stewardship. The artwork above is a section from the Kiva mural created at the museum as a permanent installation by Hopi artists Michael Kabotie and Delbridge Honanie, 2001. http://www.musnaz.org/hp/hopi_fest_2009.shtml Yvonne Watterson, Principal at Alhambra College Preparatory School, had spoken to Deborah Bateman, Executive Vice President, National Bank of Arizona (in picture above), only 26 days earlier and together they made all the arrangements for this incredible community informative program. Ms Watterson’s creative and innovative approach to student education is recognized throughout the valley. Persons like Claude Mattox, Phoenix City Councilman, District 5; Mari Alvarado, Alhambra, School District No. 68, Governing Board Member; and Dr. Jim Rice were all present to support the work of Yvonne Watterson at this important luncheon. It takes a whole community to raise and educate our children in today's world. Yvonne Watterson is committed to this task. Our city is very fortunate to have her and the ACP staff working with smiles and joy in their hearts to bring this reality to many of our young people. Alhambra College Prep 3802 West Maryland Ave Phoenix, Arizona, 85019 Tel: 602.245.0578 Dance as Community was a powerful and very symbolic program! People brought their children to celebrate unity and life. Due to the negative political climate, economic hardship and changes that our state and world is facing, this community dance/run was much needed. It was a prayer, sent out to the universe for peace in our state and around the globe. We achieved unity! Dulce Juarez. Christy Puetz was available to discuss Beads of Courage TM, a support program for children who have cancer http://www.beadsofcourage.net/ Rites of Passage of newly initiated global leaders and healers who will effect change in their lives and the lives of others. Preparation to create this body of artwork began more than 5 weeks ago through an enrichment program at Phoenix Collegiate Academy coordinated by the Cultural Arts Coalition and facilitated by Silvia Rodriguez. The students meet with Silvia 4 days a week for 45 minutes. The structure of this program aligns with artspace - an initiative spearheaded by the Phoenix Office of Arts & Culture (POAC) in partnership with Arizona Department of Education. The vision of artspace is to establish a new model of educational experience to ensure students are self-confident and successful in school and can make a positive impact in their community essential to shifting thought around the role of arts in education. judy butzine, Cultural Arts Coalition, and Pegge Vissicaro, Terra Dance and ASU Dance professor, traveled to San Rafael over the weekend of March 26th-28th, 2010, to learn techniques of community building through artistic expression with Anna Haprin a 90 year old dancer and expert in her field of dance as a means of healing self and community. Dancers from around the world were here (Scotland, Rio, Italy, Peru, Switzerland, Canada, France and across the country) to participate in the "scoring process" to bring back to our own communities this integrating of dance with our physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual beings--including intentions for our loved ones and community. The Calaca Cultural Center in collaboration with the Arizona Historical Society Museum: Calaca Community Mercado in the Courtyard Three Great Reasons to be there: Free entrance to the museum; COMMUNITY MERCADO; Longest Dia de Los Muertos exhibition in the state Saturday, March 6th; 11am to 3pm Location: Arizona Historical Society Museum 1300 N.

Michael Girsch, Michael.Girsch@asu.edu, in Intern. Coord. in the ASU Study Abroad Office, opened the event by welcoming all of the participants. Dulce Juarez made arrangements to say good bye to approximately half of the Inter. exchange students by creating a communal canvas. This activity allowed for conversations amongst one another that took on a whole other meaning of understanding their role within a gloabal society. The Global Village is a new housing initiative for incoming intern. exchange students to live alongside ASU students. One educator in Lower Buckeye Jail commented, "Before you can treat someone, you need to find out who they are." Every art-making activity is intended to support the LBJ juveniles in moving away from fear and a sense of powerlessness and anger to a better understanding of themselves. PeaceBuilding art exhibition, mounted at ASU West campus, Fletcher Library, Feb '10. A visual arts exhibition featuring the artworks of students from South Mountain H.S. visual arts program & artists within the Cultural Arts Coalition drew much attention and generated dialogue.
