New Haven, CT (Oct. 3, 2022) - Local job programs for Greater New Haven residents are expanding access to careers in growing economic sectors with the support of recent funding from The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven. Skills training, childcare, transportation support and career navigation are among the wraparound support services being offered by the local programs that are receiving Career Pathways to Inclusive Growth grants from The Community Foundation. Grants totaling $683,626 are being awarded to 15 nonprofit organizations.

“This funding will support wraparound services to set up job seekers for success in quality jobs in the regional economic growth sectors of healthcare, manufacturing, biomedical and bioscience, construction and technology,” said Yolanda Caldera-Durant, vice president for community strategies at The Foundation. “These are individuals who have been traditionally underserved by the workforce development system — BIPOC populations, women, returning citizens and immigrants.” Read more here.

16 City Gallery Members Celebrate Open Source 2022, a Visual Arts Festival

Have you been to City Gallery lately? If not, Artspace’s Open Source 2022 is the perfect chance to stop in and get to know the gallery’s exciting mix of visual artists.

In an effort to showcase the diversity and talent of the local arts community, City Gallery has recently created a scholarship program. This programs provides full gallery membership for two years to emerging artists who may not have the resources to become a part of a collective, member-run gallery.

All members of City Gallery are carefully selected for their accomplishments as artists, their ability to commit to maintaining a successful member-run gallery, and their fit with the group. All of the artists have distinguished resumes and have exhibited widely, and many also teach in the New Haven artistic community.

The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven (“The Foundation”) is inviting proposals from qualified individuals or firms (a “Consultant”) to work with the Neighborhood Leadership Program (NLP) Facilitators and our Director of Community engagement to conduct an evaluation of the NLP.

The goals are as follows:

• to document the impact of the NLP on participants and their respective communities over the past 10 years.
• to understand how The Foundation might add additional value for the participants and their community.
• To provide insight on strengths and challenges of the existing program format to inform potential modifications.
• To address issues of recruitment and sustaining engagement of program alums
• to understand how The Foundation might change the NLP to increase participant diversity and be more inclusive.
• to understand how The Foundation might further learn from the “lived experience” knowledge of NLP participants so that we might better serve the communities in our geographic area and the people who live in them.

Background

The Foundation was established in 1928. Its mission is to inspire, support, inform, listen to, and collaborate with the people and organizations of Greater New Haven to build an ever more connected, inclusive, equitable and philanthropic community. The Foundation is one of the oldest and largest community foundations in the country with total assets of approximately $870 million.

The Neighborhood Leadership Program is a networking, skill building and grant program for resident community leaders of New Haven, Hamden, East Haven, and West Haven. The program evolved over several decades from the Neighborhood Small Grants Program to the Neighborhood Leadership Grants Program to the current, Neighborhood Leadership Program. The current iteration of the program was initiated in 2008. Through this program we support self-identified community leaders in their efforts to build and sustain community while bringing them to the attention of the broader community. Although the facilitators conducted feedback interviews with alum 4 years into the current program configuration and participant evaluations are conducted during program participation every year, no external evaluation of the current program has been conducted to date.

Scope of Work

The selected Consultant will:

• Work with the NLP facilitation team to develop a survey process including in-person interview questions and an online survey that will be administered to NLP alumni, community members they recommend and Foundation staff and leadership, total of approximately 100 interviews.
• Review written facilitator reports of the past 8 years.
• Write up initial draft and final draft of interviews and questionnaire findings; including interviews conducted by the NLP facilitators.
• Prepare a final report and PPT presentation with the evaluation findings that will be shared with Foundation staff and NLP facilitation and design team and interested alumni.
• Develop a list of findings and related recommendations for The Community Foundation based on the stated goals for conducting the evaluation.

Your Response to this Request for Proposal:

The Consultant should respond to this request with substantive content in the following areas.

1. In addition to a general overview, please describe your experience conducting program evaluation and provide demonstrations of experience evaluating community leadership programs and/or adult education programs.
2. Provide examples of experience working with programs that prioritize people of color, gender diversity and other-abled people working in community.
3. Outline of your approach and process for delivering on your proposal.
4. The submission should include a list of three references including contact names, email addresses and telephone numbers.

Professional Fees and Services:

The response to this RFP should include a proposed fee for the services outlined in the Scope of Work.

Timeline and Submission:

Consultant submission should be delivered no later than October 6, 2022 at 5:00pm (EST). It is expected that this project be completed no later than March 31, 2023.

Respondents should send their submissions to:

Lee Cruz,

Director of Community Outreach

Please include: “CFGNH NLP RFP submission” in the subject line of your response.

The Greater New Haven Community Chorus is excited to announce that we have hired Alysoun (Aly) Kegel as Artistic Director for the 2022-2023 season. Kegel is the first woman Artistic Director the chorus has had in its 59 years. She will be leading GNHCC in Open Rehearsals on Sept. 8, 15, and 22 at 7 pm at the First Presbyterian Church, 704 Whitney Avenue, New Haven. For more information about joining the chorus for our Fall 2022 semester, see our website: www.gnhcc.org.

She says, “I am thrilled to be joining the singers at GNHCC in their mission to ‘Build Community One Note at a Time’ and their goal of reflecting the full diversity of greater New Haven. I am excited to work with this amazing team as we commit to embodying values of inclusive community through song.”

An accomplished conductor, music teacher, and soprano, Alysoun Kegel has been working as the choir director and K-4 music instructor at Worthington Hooker since 2019. 

Kegel began singing as an 8-yr-old treble in the St. Luke’s Girls Choir of Evanston, Illinois, under the direction of Richard Webster. Kegel began conducting as an undergraduate at Yale University, She has conducted ensemble tours of Japan, South Korea, China, Sweden, Norway, Italy, France, and the UK.

In addition to serving as the Artistic Director of the Greater New Haven Community Chorus, Kegel currently teaches music for the New Haven Public Schools and through Yale’s Music in the Schools Initiative.

Joy Bush’s photographs tell a story…without telling a story. City Gallery visitors will find themselves, like the photographer, WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN at Bush’s upcoming exhibit, on view September 2 - October 2, with an Opening Reception on Friday, September 9 from 4PM - 8PM.

“I am always waiting,” say Bush. “Waiting for something to happen. Waiting to piece together what just happened. Waiting to figure out what could have happened. My photos tell a story within its frame. While you might see a photograph of a coffee cup on a table, I see the narrative of someone who waited for a friend who never showed up.”

Bush is drawn to places that feel the echo of human presence — places that reveal nothing clearly, or something out of reach. Sometimes her photographs evoke a feeling of discomfort or distance. Others are ironic or amusing. Some provoke a sense of curiosity about what could be or could have been. Others just offer a place to rest with thoughts and imagination.

“I tell a story. My story. Maybe your story,” she says. And that’s the beauty of the work in this show — the fill-in-the-blank opportunity for the viewer to create her or his own meaning. “The work exists as an alternative future… maybe an alternative past. You decide.”

Bush’s work was recently featured in Unbeatable Women at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum (2022), and HOME VIEWS at the Griffin Museum of Photography in Massachusetts. (2021). Her photographs have appeared in The Village Voice, The New York Times, Connecticut Review, and many other publications. She has exhibited in solo and group exhibits, nationally and internationally, including shows at the International Center for Photography (NYC), Mattatuck Museum, Lyman Allyn Art Museum, Copley Society (Boston, MA), Drawing Rooms (NJ), Garrison Art Center (NY), Umbrella Arts (NYC), the Westport Arts Center, and Artspace (New Haven, CT). Bush is represented in the permanent collections of the Cincinnati Art Museum, Monetfiore Hospital (Bronx, NY), the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Yale Medical Group Art Place, and many private collections. She is a member of City Gallery, and lives and works in the Greater New Haven area.

WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN is free and open to the public and runs September 2 - October 2, with an Opening Reception on Friday, September 9 from 4PM - 8PM. City Gallery is located at 994 State Street, New Haven, CT 06511. Gallery hours are Friday - Sunday, 1 p.m. - 4 p.m., or by appointment. City Gallery follows New Haven City’s mask mandate policy. For further information please contact City Gallery, info@city-gallery.org, www.city-gallery.org.

Floods in City Point. Heat waves in tree-sparse, lot-heavy Newhallville. More storms that require evacuation. More periods of drought.

As climate change progresses, those conditions will become the new normal for New Haven, especially for the heat- and flood-vulnerable neighborhood of Fair Haven, reported officials tracking the trends.

An environmental transformation is already in motion. But, the officials said, the city can adapt its current infrastructure and prevent carbon emissions from making the problem worse...

About United Way

Join Artspace New Haven for the opening of our fall exhibitions and continued free and public programming throughout the semester. These exhibitions continue our yearly 2022–2023 theme exploring complex systems exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, these exhibitions address the varying scales and arenas in which extractive capitalism operates.

In her solo exhibition Revelations, artist Ilana Harris-Babou presents recent video installations, collages, and ceramics navigating contradictory desires bound within our all-consuming image culture. Using the aesthetics of advertising and social media DIY influencing within wellness culture, Harris-Babou stages darkly humorous and subversive revelations about material quick-fixes for structural inequities. Rather than offering a critique of biblical proportions, the works disclose Black self-determinations.

Artistic duo Alejandra Salinas and Aeron Bergman (Bergman & Salinas), present a new series of conceptual works including sculptures, wall-mounted mixed-media, photography, painting on canvas, sound, and text works in their solo exhibition Against the Common Good/ Contra el Bien General. This body of work critiques how systems of capitalism corral the commons, against the general good for humans and non-humans alike. The title is borrowed from a print from The Disasters of War series (produced between 1810–1820) by painter and printmaker Francisco Goya (1746–1828).

The exhibitions open on Saturday, September 17th, 6:00–8:00 PM, preceded by a poetry reading from Joan Naviyuk Kane at 5:00 PM, "Saġuiŋaruq: It Is Sinuous." Both exhibitions are accompanied by free public programming series available on our calendar (subscribe to add all to your calendar), in addition to publications. For Bergman & Salinas, the publication Contra el Bien General constitutes a work in the exhibition, and the exhibition catalog for Ilana Harris-Babou's exhibition will be available in December, featuring new scholarship from Re'al Christian, Laurel V. McLaughlin, Yasmina Price, and Wendy Vogel.

If you'd like to schedule a tour of the exhibitions, please reach out and let me know. I'm offering tours in English on Wednesdays/ Thursdays, from 12–6 PM. Our Gallery Assistant, Andry Peña del Jesus, is offering tours in Spanish on Thursdays, 12–4 and Fridays 3–6 PM.

Join us!

All best,

Laurel McLaughlin

ABOUT SOMETHINGPROJECTS

In 2022, longtime friends and artists, Howard el-Yasin and Suzan Shutan decided to partner and launched SomethingProjects: a nomadic and provisional space providing short-term exhibitions that dually highlight artists as well as introducing communities to new viewpoints and practices by state, regional, national, and international artists. As an incubator for ideas, it encourages artists to step outside their boundaries and experiment with the intersection of materials, production, presentation, and means of engagement with audience and space. Their locations will change and offer site-specific opportunities.

THE EXCHANGE is generously supported by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, Connecticut Office of the Arts, which also receives support from the federal ARPA.

“Where are the Native Americans now?” asked fifth grade students in an Iowa City classroom last year. There are many ways their teacher, Melanie Hester, might have answered. She could have pointed out that today Native Americans live in cities and towns across the U.S. About 20 percent live on reservations, and Hester could have used that to open a discussion of the U.S. government’s forcible movement and isolation of tribes. Hester might have also discussed how European and American settlers brutally killed many Native Americans in the 18th and 19th centuries...
