From the directorrsquos desk Many of you are already aware that The Arts Center is currently a finalist for an ArtPlace America grant to develop the Arts Park ArtPlace America is a ten-year grantmaking initiative funded through a collaboration of foundations and donors whose focus is on ldquoCreative Placemakingrdquo

This is an exciting time as the National Endowment for the Arts celebrates its 50th year of existence when the arts are finally being viewed as more than just a luxury the arts are a vital part of community infrastructure and development

Herersquos a confession starting my job here at The Arts Center with the development of the Arts Park on the table makes me feel like dancing and crying at the same time I went to a tiny art school where I learned art for artrsquos sake Irsquove held a career in small non-profit arts organizations because I strongly believe in community based arts programming and education Through park development meetings I am receiving a quick education about landscape architecture urban planning North Dakota perennials electrical and data grids and clay pavers

I had lunch with Chad Kainz last month and confessed my feelings about the Arts Park project He said ldquoA good project should make you a little nervous It means you are doing something braverdquo

We had a great site visit from ArtPlacersquos program assistant Leila Tamari and Paul Bonin-Rodriguez an external reviewer from the University of Texas at Austin Several community partners on the Arts Park project attended As the conversation developed it was exciting to listen to people talk about all of the research planning and energy that have already gone into the Arts Park The project is truly in the hands of a team of experts knowledgeable advisors and community supporters

Itrsquos going to be great

Cyndi WishExecutive Director
