Governor Malloy Launches "City Canvas" Project for CT Cities
Mayors invited to submit plans to spur urban centers with art
By FRANK RIZZO
Hartford Courant
7:20 PM EST, January 23, 2012
Connecticut cities will be getting a bit of an artistic face -- and spirit-- lift.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, city leaders, and artists gathered at the Governor's Mansion Monday to give a high-profile launch to a new $1 million arts initiative, "City Canvases," a program that is intended to revitalize Connecticut’s urban public spaces through large-scale art installations with the long term goal identifying citties as
The "City Canvas Initiative", a project of the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD), involves 10 cities commissioning and exhibiting the work of state artists in public spaces.
Murals and other public art works on "high-profile, large blank walls" in cities will be created with the goal of "dramatically demonstrat[ing] the impact art can have in building vibrant communities."
Cities must partner with arts organization from their regions for the project.
A total of $1 million in arts grant funding will be provided by the state with an additional $1 million sought from private and local matches.
Eleven citites will receive $5,000 just to submit proposals by Feb. 24. "It's the best raffle you've ever entered," says Malloy at the gathering. The selection of winning proposals will be made in March and be undertaken in the spring.
"This is a substantial downpayment to our commitment to the arts," says Malloy.
Rocco Landesman, chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) was scheduled at the event, to tout the initiatiative with Malloy but his Washington D./C. flight was canceled.
The inititive is part of a shift in state strategy under Malloy directly linking arts with econmic development.
The change began when the governor and legislature moved the former Commission of Culture & Tourism into DECD to create the Office of Arts. Deputy DECD Commissioner Christopher "Kip" Bergstrom says the move is the first step on re-envisioning a pro-active strategy that focuses state arts funds on economic development purposes and in "rebranding of the state as a place of innovation and vibrancy.:

Dear nonprofit leader:
In our continued effort to gather information on the state of the nonprofit sector in our region we are encouraging you to participate in the Nonprofit Finance Fund’s (NFF) annual survey. The Nonprofit Finance Fund has agreed to provide The Foundation with the aggregate data on our twenty-town region. This data will continue to help us understand the economic climate and its impact on the sector in our region and nationally. It is important that as many nonprofits as possible respond to the survey so we can get meaningful results. The results of the survey will help us determine what some of the most critical areas of need are in this region, both now and for the long-term
Please click on the link below to take the 10-15 minute survey:
Thanks in advance for your contribution to this effort. Your participation will ensure a strong and inclusive sampling of the sector.
Be a role model for youth who want to enter your career field! By taking part in New Haven Academy's Student Internship Program, you are improving the quality of high school education in the greater New Haven area. Your participation is sincerely appreciated.
The Internship Program is designed to allow students to intern full-time, Monday through Thursday, for three weeks (May 14th- May 31st). Each student is placed with a host organization based on their personal interest. By working with people who share similar interest, and who have professional experience in a given filed, the students have the opportunity to experience learning in a meaningful way.
Each potential host will have a chance to interview the potential student intern beforehand. This will give both the host and student a chance to get to know each other and help with the matching process.
Students will arrive at the host organization prepared with question and ideas about what they'll be learning during the internship. If you've never hosted a student before, you may find the following suggestions to be helpful guidelines:
- Provide a tour of your workplace and describe the main purpose of what goes on there.
- Share the personal side of how you developed your interest, or why you chose the work you do, and why it is important to you.
- Demonstrate as much of your work as you can, rather than just talk about it.
- Share what it is you do to stay current in your filed (professional development).
- If you're in an organization with more people, let the student know how your work fits in with others in your organization, what role it plays in the organization and what other roles are needed to make your work successful.
- Don’t be afraid to show them the fun side- laughing together is a greater equalizer.
We are grateful for your willingness to host an intern. We hope that the experience will be mutually rewarding for the student and for you.
If interested in hosting a New Haven Academy student Intern please contact Internship coordinators:
