A LETTER FROM

RA JOY,EXECUTIVEDIRECTOR& DAVID HAWKANSON, BOARD CHAIRGreetings!

As we celebrate Arts Alliance Illinois’ 30th

Anniversary year, we are happy to bring you

this report on our 2012 activities and provide

a look toward our future.

For 30 years, Arts Alliance Illinois has served

as a catalyst for strengthening the arts sector

by actively engaging arts activists and cultural

organizations in the policy decisions that impact

their lives, their communities, and the state as a

whole. The activities highlighted in the pages

that follow illustrate the Alliance’s continuing

commitment to making the arts not just relevant

but essential to individuals and communities

across Illinois.

Over the past year, the Alliance seized upon

and created many opportunities to elevate and

advance the arts and arts education. Despite

the state’s unprecedented fiscal challenges, the

collective voice of the Alliance’s network was

heard in Springfield, where we led a campaign to

protect the state’s FY2013 appropriation to the

Illinois Arts Council. We helped to prevent even

deeper cuts proposed to the already reduced fund-

ing support for our artists and arts organizations.

We continue to be the go-to source for data-

driven research on the impact of the arts on our

economy, jobs, and community vitality. In 2012,

we collaborated with Americans for the Arts

to produce Arts & Economic Prosperity IV, a

comprehensive study measuring the economic

impact of the non-profit arts in Chicago, Peoria,

Rockford, and the state of Illinois as a whole.

Proudly, the Alliance serves as a primary convener

and connector of Illinois’ artists, arts practitioners,

arts organizations, and supporters. In 2012, we

led a number of programs and forums where

stakeholders could come together to share

resources, build trust, and engage in sector-wide

collaboration. We continued to partner with the

Illinois Arts Council to serve and support local

arts agencies through the Local Arts Network,

welcomed U.S. Senator Dick Durbin to our annual

Members’ Meeting, and launched the Arts and

Education Exchange, an online resource that helps

educators and arts providers collaborate.

David HawkansonChair, Arts Alliance Illinois Executive Director, Steppenwolf Theatre Company

Ra JoyExecutive Director, Arts Alliance Illinois

Over the past year, the alliance seized upon and created many opportunities to elevate and advance the arts and arts education.While our collective voices achieved some gains

in 2012, much more must be done to win shared

policy victories for the arts, culture, and arts

education in Illinois. In the months ahead, in part-

nership with stakeholders from across Illinois, the

Alliance will develop a new and forward-leaning

arts policy agenda to grow jobs in the creative

economy, strengthen arts education, and enhance

community vibrancy.

Our members, advocates, and donors understand

that together we have the power to make a big-

ger impact than we ever could individually. Your

generosity and commitment are essential to our

success and to the strength and vitality of

the arts in Illinois. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Ra Joy and David Hawkanson

The nonprofit arts are a $2.75 billion-a-year industry in Illinois,

generating more than $2.3

billion in income for our

households.

ONESTATEONEVOICE

The arts are essential to Illinois—to our economy, our neighborhoods, our families and our schools. The arts across all forms—music, dance, theater, painting, sculpture, film, photography, and more—are much more than a pasttime or source of entertainment, but contribute to a vibrant society and to all our lives in countless ways.

THE ARTS...

$$$$$ $$ $$ $$ $X 10,000

The nonprofit arts industry

in Illinois supports more

than 78,000 jobs for our

citizens—more jobs than

there are police officers,

legal professionals, or

financial managers in

the state.

Provide students with the critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creative skills that are essential to a 21st century workforce.

8

Arts Alliance Illinois held its first arts advocacy

day in Springfield, drawing hundreds of

supporters out to rally for the arts and arts

education. The Alliance has continued to lead

delegations to both the state and national

capitol since then.

19821985

A small group of about 100 artists and arts

administrators assembled to contest the state’s

proposals to eliminate funding for the arts,

giving rise to our only statewide nonprofit

arts advocacy organization, known today as

Arts Alliance Illinois.

30YEARSSTRONG

For any and everyone throughout Illinois who appreciates the value that the arts and arts education bring to our lives, the Alliance provides guidance and tips, data, and the training you need to speak out at your schools, in your communities, in your cities and towns, in Illinois and nationally.

The Alliance Heads for the Hill: National Arts Advocacy Day Since that first trip to the state capitol nearly three decades ago, Arts Alliance

Illinois has led teams of arts supporters and friends from throughout the state to

Washington, DC for National Arts Advocacy Day. Participants start the day with

dynamic, hands-on training that empowers them with the knowledge and know-how

to lobby Congress on behalf of the arts. We then head to the Hill, together, to share

our message with members of the Illinois congressional delegation and their staff. In

2012, we pushed for policies to strengthen the sector, including increased funding for

the National Endowment for the Arts and for arts in education programs at the U.S.

Department of Education.

Striking Down the Arts in the State Budget? NO WAY, We Say!Arts Alliance Illinois led a campaign to protect the state’s FY2013 appropriation to

its only agency for the arts, the Illinois Arts Council. The appropriations bill originally

passed by the Senate included even deeper cuts to the council, representing an

11% reduction from funding in the previous year. The General Assembly reduced its

proposed cuts in funding for the council in its final passage of the appropriations.

10

Through testimony before the House

and Senate Appropriations Committees

and meetings with legislative leaders,

Arts Alliance Illinois helped to stave off

double-digit cuts to the Illinois Arts

Council, the state’s only public agency

for the arts.

11

Illinois Makes Art Work Arts Alliance Illinois has a long history of commissioning and producing data-driven

evidence of how art works and its impacts on communities. We know that commu-

nities that invest in the arts reap the additional benefits of jobs, economic growth,

and a quality of life that positions those communities to compete and succeed in

our 21st century economy. In 2012, the Alliance partnered with Americans for the

Arts to produce Arts & Economic Prosperity IV, the most comprehensive study of

its kind on the impact of the arts sector on local economies throughout the nation.

The Alliance collected the study’s data for Chicago, the Peoria and Rockford areas,

and the state of Illinois as a whole. The Alliance is now leveraging the findings from

this study to educate decision-makers and arts sector stakeholders about how the

arts contribute to a thriving economy and booming workforce in Illinois.

“ The arts inspire us, soothe us, provoke us, involve us, and connect us. But they also create jobs and contribute to the economy.”

— Robert L. Lynch, President and CEO, Americans for the Arts

CULTURE COUNTS

For the first time in more than 25 years, in 2012, the City of Chicago created a plan to support the arts and artists throughout the city. Arts Alliance Illinois collaborated with the League of Chicago Theatres, the Chicago Cultural Alliance and others to execute the Culture Counts Campaign, promoting public engagement in the cultural planning process and ensuring that the Chicago Cultural Plan 2012 included meaningful policy wins for artists and arts organizations. More than 80 diverse organizations from across Chicago came together to form the Culture Counts Coalition. The final Chicago Cultural Plan 2012 included all 21 of the coalition’s recommendations.

co-sponsor for the conference.

16

Arts & Education ExchangeThe Alliance launched its free, easy-to-use online Arts & Education Exchange in

October 2011, connecting educators with arts providers. Arts providers can post

details, pictures, video, and audio about their programs, and educators can make

requests for their classrooms on the website. The end result is that students are

given greater opportunities for expression and self-discovery through creative

outlets. To date, more than 435 arts providers and 317 educators have registered

on the site, representing 610 unique arts education programs in Illinois.

Join the exchange at www.artseducationexchange.org.

Arts Alliance Illinois released Arts

at the Core: Every School, Every

Student, the first statewide study on

the status of arts education in Illinois

public schools, provoking extensive

media coverage and national

recognition.

The Illinois State Board of Education

subsequently received an appropria-

tion of $4 million for arts education

and foreign language instruction for

FY07, a 100% increase from the

previous year.

Members’ MarkThe Alliance’s 2012 Members’ Meeting and Reception, held in June, featured

U.S. Senator Dick Durbin. Senator Durbin has represented Illinois in Congress for

30 years. His leadership on arts policy issues has made lasting impacts on the

nation’s cultural landscape. At our Members’ Meeting and Reception, Senator

Durbin shared his insights on the importance of the arts and humanities and the

challenges facing the cultural sector in this political and legislative environment.

Over 230 stakeholders representing a wide range of artistic disciplines and

geographic regions of the state gathered to participate in this conversation

and network with their colleagues from across Illinois.

Local Arts NetworkArts Alliance Illinois has partnered with the Illinois Arts Council, the state-funded

agency for the arts, to serve and support local arts agencies through its Local Arts

Network for more than a decade. Through workshops, think tanks, resources, and

network-building, the Local Arts Network builds the capacity and excellence of

more than 100 local arts agencies across the state.
