Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for being an important member of our extended Studio family. As you’ll see in this edition of Passport, we have many exciting things happening, but none is more important to us than the work of The Dale and Leslie Chihuly Foundation. The mission of the Foundation is to inspire and educate the public regarding all forms of art, and to provide support to artists and art organizations. All of us know arts funding is in peril in so many areas. We want to make sure you know about some important work the Foundation is doing in this area right now, and solicit your ideas and opportunities in an area we are beginning to think about with even more research and rigor - Art Education.
But first! In 2010 we made our most significant Foundation grant to date: a three-year commitment to Seattle organization Artist Trust, to annually recognize two Washington State artists who are forging innovation paths in their particular field. Why give through Artist Trust when we could just establish a fund for artists ourselves? It’s simple. We want the Foundation to forge multiple connections and opportunities through each and every gift. This three year grant is the largest individual artist grant available in Washington State, and in 2010 acknowledged two very special artists as Arts Innovators: Leo Berk and Margie Livingston. Very well deserved! And we can’t wait to see who emerges for the 2011 and 2012 awards. But, through engaging Artist Trust as our giving partner, we were also able to raise their visibility and opportunities. A real win-win.
Given what you briefly know about the Foundation, how do you think we should begin to think about the area of Art Education? Everything is fair game to start the conversation – funding, policy, convening panels and conferences, creating materials and so much more. Who do you think does a good job, and what are the biggest needs to be filled? What organizations and individuals should we be talking to? Click this handy link - The Dale and Leslie Chihuly Foundation - and write us a note right now! We want to hear from you, as we know this is something you care about as deeply as we do.
Best wishes in all of your endeavors in 2011!
Dale and Leslie
