Cultural Arts Activities - Monthly review of cultural arts activities from the Library Administrative Office for upcoming Library and City arts events and services. Library Services Director Hetherton advised that the Night Shift concert was held on September 3. The crowd was not as large as previous concerts, probably because of potential rain and the fact it was held on Labor Day weekend.

Council Policy A-2, Boards, Commissions, & Committees – Staff recommend that the City Arts Commission determine a project that they wish to raise funds for and justify the exception to City Council. Library Services Director Hetherton advised that in January 2016 the City Council granted the City Arts Commission a blanket waiver for fundraising. The waiver remains in effect. The City Attorney suggested the City Arts Commission select a fundraising project and submit it to the City Council. Individual Commissioners have expressed interest in fundraising for the Sculpture Exhibition. The Chair can appoint an ad hoc subcommittee of two or three Commissioners to craft a plan for fundraising through the Arts Foundation. In response to Chair Chang's question, Library Services Director Hetherton indicated Council funding would probably depend on the plan presented to the City Council. 6. Date of the 2018 Newport Beach Art Exhibition – Vice Chair Arlene Greer recommends that the City Arts Commission approve Saturday, Newport Beach City Arts Commission Regular Meeting Minutes September 14, 2017 Page 3 3 June 16, 2018, as the date of the 54th Annual Newport Beach Art Exhibition.

Selection of Works for Phase III of the Sculpture in Civic Center Park exhibition – Commissioner Miriam Baker, Commissioner Grace Divine, Commissioner Arlene Greer Richard Stein reviewed activities to date to select artwork. Artists submitted 46 sculptures for consideration. The judging panel, comprised of Vice Chair Greer, Commissioners Divine and Baker, Robert Nicoll, and Pat Gomez, submitted its rankings of sculptures online. On August 23, the judging panel chose nine pieces of art and two alternates and selected locations for the sculptures. One artist withdrew his submission but offered three similar pieces in its place. The judging panel selected one of the offered pieces. Another artist also withdrew his artwork, and the judging panel selected one of the alternate sculptures. Joe Lewis shared photos of and information about the selected sculptures. Vice Chair Greer noted the subcommittee utilized the consultants' comments and public feedback in selecting the sculptures. This was the first time public feedback had been obtained for the Sculpture Exhibition. She thanked Mr. Stein and Mr. Lewis for their assistance. Jim Mosher suggested changing the locations of sculpture pieces to limit their impact on and visibility by nearby residents. Motion made by Vice Chair Greer, seconded by Commissioner Bendetti, and carried (6-0-0-1) to approve selection of the nine sculptures and their locations within Civic Center Park. AYES: Chang, Greer, Bendetti, Divine, Glabman, Little NOES: None ABSTENTIONS: None ABSENT: Baker Newport Beach City Arts Commission Regular Meeting Minutes September 14, 2017 Page 4 4 In response to Commissioner Glabman's query, Vice Chair Greer explained that great thought was put into selecting that particular spot. The location for the Matchstick sculpture was chosen for its visibility to people driving down MacArthur by Civic Center Park. Commissioner Divine commented that the Committee worked arduously to find a location that is most pleasant for all citizens in the community. They considered many locations for the piece, and – weighing all the factors involved – the Committee concluded that in order for install the piece without any problems arising, they had to make a compromise.

ENRICHMENT DAY ACTIVITIES MASTER’S PROGRAM When schools are closed on federal holidays, many parents must be at work and need options for student activities. We participate with various school districts, coordinating creative activities that are included in a larger Enrichment Day program. Chuck Jones is recognized around the world as a master of animation. We travel to schools and introduce students to the work of Chuck Jones through lectures that integrate film clips. Students are taught his technique of combining shapes as they are guided step-by-step on how to draw the iconic Bugs Bunny. We offer 6 richly designed after school programs, designed around various forms of art making. With a total of 48 individual lesson plans, each program is available individually or in a customizable series of 6 or 8 week sessions. Stanford University and Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching found that youth who participate in the arts are FOUR TIMES more likely to be recognized for academic achievement. A California Alliance for Arts Education publication identifies other critical benefits of arts education as higher attendance, lower dropout rates, increased graduation rates, decreased disciplinary problems, increased test scores and improved math skills. AFTER SCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS COMMUNITY OUTREACH FLAGSHIP EVENTS DROP IN AND DRAW A free drawing studio held every Saturday from 9 am until 12 noon.

Kontrapunktus, a NeoBaroque orchestra made up of young Southern Californiabased musicians from all over the world, will be making its Long Beach debut at St. Cornelius Catholic Church on Friday, June 2 at 8:00PM. The 90minute performance will feature classic Baroque pieces from J.S. Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, Pietro Locatelli as well as new Baroque music from the group’s first studio album, Kontrapunktus, A NeoBaroque Introduction, written by Mark Moya. The “conductorless” concert will be led by Concertmaster and French Violinist Etienne Gara, who regularly plays with Los Angeles Philharmonic and LA Opera. “Baroque music, it’s been written 300 years ago or more, and it’s fresh and fun to play,” he told the Post. “We present that to the audience, and I think that feedback is also part of the thrill of the stage experience. [...]It’s about sharing something that everybody feels rewarded from in many ways.” 0 SHARE 6Like2 LONG BEACH POST (/)GOSign up for daily email alerts. Joining Gara will be violinists Mishkar NunezMejia, YuEun Gemma Kim, Myroslava Khomik, Alexander Granger, Leila NassarFredell, violist Tanner Menees, cellist Joo Lee, bassist Ryan Baird and Arthur Omura on harpsichord and organ. Together, they form a unique group of musicians from different parts of the globe including France, Ukraine, Dominican Republic, South Korea and the United States. “Classical musicians of this generation who reside in the Los Angeles [and] Orange County area almost have a clique,” Executive Director Raymond Jacobs told the Post. “The bond that they form not only has to do with their age, but also their ethnicity. Many of them come from different regions of the world and lean on one another, since classical music is their common passion.” Rehearsals often go overtime by up to two hours because everyone is enjoying playing the music and spending time with one another, Gara added. “We are like a little family.” Kontrapunktus, Latin for “counterpoint” was founded in 2015 by Jacobs to record the album for the purpose of reviving the art of Baroque music in today’s music scene. Members of the group come from USC Thorton School of Music, Colburn Conservatory of Music, University of California, Los Angeles and the Cal State Long Beach Bob Cole Conservatory. “We’re really looking forward to converting new fans with each concert through the power of our performance as a group,” Jacobs said. “We received a long, enthusiastic ovation from our last audience and intend to continue our momentum when we return to the stage [...]. We have a uniquely remarkable program in store for those who come and intend to deliver on our promise in making the concert one for all ages." The concert is sponsored by the Port of Long Beach and Arts Council for Long Beach. Find more information about Kontrapunktus, visit the website here (https://www.kontrapunktus.com).

Briefly describe below your organization’s purpose, mission, and goals. OCMA’s mission is to enrich the lives of a diverse and changing community through modern and contemporary art. Since its founding in 1962 by thirteen visionary women, OCMA has been a leader in presenting and collecting modern and contemporary art. With a renowned collection, an ambitious exhibition program, and impactful education and outreach programs, OCMA is recognized as one of the finest mid-sized museums in the United States and has served several generations of residents and visitors alike. Comprised of over 3,000 works of art, the museum’s collection has focused on art of the last century and includes painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, printmaking, video, digital, and installation art with an emphasis on California-based artists. OCMA’s remarkable collection has served as the cornerstone for its educational and public programming. Recent exhibitions organized by the museum have traveled nationally and internationally and shaped the important conversations about the visual arts in our culture. Examples of the acclaim for recent OCMA-originated exhibitions include the LA Times’ praise for the exhibition Birth of the Cool: California Art, Design as “an exhibition for which we’ve been waiting – and waiting – for a very long time”; and The Wall Street Journal’s endorsement of the Richard Diebenkorn: The Ocean Park Series exhibition as “one of the most satisfying museum retrospectives ever devoted to an American artist.” In the past several years, the museum has actively loaned key works from its collection, and in 2016 alone, over 1.2 million visitors enjoyed works from our collection both nationally and internationally. One of the hallmarks of the museum’s current programming is the expansion of its exhibitions to include the entirety of the Pacific Rim, reflecting the important interest in and appetite for art that reflects the diverse communities in Southern California. This shift has resulted in several important initiatives: My Generation: Young Chinese Artists (2015), the first ever exhibition of a new generation of young Chinese artists in the US; a gallery dedicated exclusively to emerging artists from the Pacific Rim who are working in new media; and the California-Pacific Triennials. Alongside this refocusing of programming initiatives, the museum has, to encouraging effect, increased its outreach into the burgeoning Asian and Asian-American communities in the region with new educational and public programs and will continue to expand the commitment to the Pacific Rim over the next decade. 2. Identify and describe why there is a need in the Newport Beach Community for your proposed project/program. Include a quantitative description of the need and on what you based your findings (i.e. “Based on a study done by the PTA, there are one hundred children in the 4th-6th grades at Newport Elementary who have had no training with musical instruments.” ) Describe how you have determined that your organization is the best organization for the proposed project/program. Access to the arts is a significant need within our society. 67% of Americans believe "the arts unify our communities regardless of age, race, and ethnicity" and 62% agree that the arts helps them understand other cultures better. Despite these benefits, though, only 45% believe everyone in their community has equal access.i While approximately 13% of the U.S. adult population expresses an interest in attending at least one exhibit or performance, they ultimately do not attend. 47% of these interested non-attendees cite the most common barrier as the inability to find the time, followed by 38% who held the perception that attendance costs too much.ii 3 OCMA sees its role in the community as providing access to the visual arts of our time with the lowest cost of entry possible. Fridays at the museum have been free since February 2015 and Free Fridays have become a successful outreach day with a loyal following of museum visitors. Finding the time for unique interactive cultural experiences often becomes difficult during a standard workweek so by providing free admission and extended hours every Friday visitors have greater flexibility in when they can visit the museum. By developing a series of unique public programs on Free Fridays to complement the gallery experience each exhibition cycle continues OCMA’s reach to a broad and more diverse audience but also reinforces the museum’s goal of offering an affordable and high-quality visual art experience for all members of the community. Along with being the only institution in Orange County to offer free admission to the museum and programs every Friday, OCMA is also the only modern and contemporary art museum in Southern California supporting the community in this way. 3. Describe the specific project/program that will be funded by a cultural grant. Include how the proposed project/program will be implemented and outline a schedule or project timeline, with planned dates and locations. Identify individuals and groups involved, particularly artists and performers, and describe their roles and responsibilities. Describe the background and qualifications of your organization and key personnel to be involved in the program. Remember: the City funds only projects and programs- not operating expenses. These projects and programs must promote community involvement and awareness of the arts in Newport Beach. Is this a new or existing X_ project/program? OCMA’s Free Fridays program removes barriers to access and provides the Orange County community with greater opportunities for meaningful arts education and experiences through lectures, panel discussions, films, and other programs at no cost. Free Fridays occur every Friday at OCMA where admission is free to the museum and its programs with extended hours from 11 am to 8 pm with programs scheduled for two of the four Fridays per month during each exhibition cycle to complement the exhibitions on view. Free Fridays are enhanced with a series of exciting activities, including artist talks, panel discussions, and a range of thematic “culture nights” that offer the community the opportunity to attend music or dance performances deepening visitor experiences in a fun and casual social setting. Continuing OCMA’s longstanding partnership with the Newport Beach Film Festival, now celebrating its 11-year anniversary, the museum also presents the cinematic works of emerging artists and established independent filmmakers on select Fridays as part of the Cinema Orange series. For the fall 2017 season for example, the film series will offer programming that engages diverse themes such as spirituality in art, innovation in creative practices as well as timely topics that relate to California and the Pacific Rim region and to exhibitions and artists on view. All of OCMA’s Free Friday programming is organized and managed by Senior Curator and Director of Public Engagement, Cassandra Coblentz. Cassandra Coblentz joined OCMA as Director of Public Engagement in September 2015 and was promoted with additional role as Senior Curator in February 2016. As a curator and museum educator she has twenty years of experience in the museum field. As an educator she has worked with diverse audiences and developed programming for school programs, university students, family audiences and underserved communities. She has a produced numerous groundbreaking public programs, closely liked and thoughtfully engaged with related exhibitions. She also has a diverse curatorial practice that champions the artistic process. Taking innovative approaches to collaborating with artists and architects, she initiated the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art’s Architecture + Art program that explores the boundaries 4 between these creative practices, producing large-scale site-specific commissions with artists. She has also authored and managed the production of several exhibition catalogues and publications. Her professional experience includes appointments at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, Hammer Museum, DIA Center for the Arts, Fabric Workshop and Museum, and The J. Paul Getty Museum. She received her BA in Art History and English from Cornell University and her MA from the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College. 4. Define or describe the segment of the population in Newport Beach that you intend to serve by your project/program. Include such things as age, location, numbers served, etc. Our Free Fridays are open to everyone and we heavily market these days in all of our media. To that end, all of Newport Beach benefits from this program. 5 Complete the project budget form. Address only the budget for the specific project, not your annual operating budget. For multi-project proposals, please duplicate and fill out a budget for each project. Please annotate the budget at the bottom if there are details (such as a breakdown of personnel or a marketing budget) critical to the proposal.

OCMA’s goal is to continue to offer an affordable and high-quality visual art experience for all members of the community as well as reach a broad and more diverse audience. By waiving admissions fees through sponsored programs, OCMA hopes to attract new visitors, young and old, who grow into loyal patrons that support and strengthen the health and vitality of the museum and the greater community. Since its inception in 2015, over 22,000 visitors (more than 45% of total admissions) have taken advantage of this program. In 2016, Free Fridays drew a total attendance of over 8,000 visitors and for the 2017-18, OCMA anticipates maintaining this goal.

Free Family Day at OCMA Rashid Johnson in Blurred Lines: Inside the Art World PHOTO BY KEN NG PHOTO BY DOUGLAS STOCKDALE Still from Harry Seidler: Modernist NEWPORT BEACH CITY ARTS COMMISSION CULTURAL ARTS GRANT PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT (Please type report) DUE by September 29, 2017 Name of Organization Orange County Museum of Art Mailing Address 850 San Clemente Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660 Telephone 949-759-1122 _Fax_ 949-759-5623 Person preparing report Desiree Bautista Phone 949-759-1122 ext. 246 Grant Project(s) Funded Free Fridays Effective Dates of Grant September 1, 2016 – August 31, 2017 Period covered in this Report September 1, 2016 – August 31, 2017 1. Please describe the effectiveness of your organization's grant project(s), in terms of: • The size and composition of the target group reached • Conformity to the planned time framework • The theme of the project • The allocation of funds to date • The kinds of educational services provided by this project • The composition of the professional staff rendering these services OCMA exceeded its reported goal of 8,000 visitors on Free Fridays. OCMA welcomed a total of 8,734 visitors on Free Fridays from September 1, 2016 through August 31, 2017; an increase of 30% from the 2015-16 grant period. The average number of visitors per Free Friday was 207. Attendance count was fairly consistent each Friday but did peak on evenings that included OCMA’s Cinema Orange public program, which presented film screenings in partnership with the Newport Beach Film Festival. After review and comparison of attendance numbers during this grant period to historical Free Fridays data, it appears that attendance is generally driven by the exhibitions rather than the programs. Public programs on Free Fridays were organized to supplement the artwork currently on view during that time. For this grant period, a number of exhibitions served as the inspiration for a myriad of programs. The exhibitions were American Mosaic: Picturing Modern Art through the Eye of Duncan Phillips, Brian Bress: Make Your Own Friends, Li Hui: V, Pop Art Design, Forms of Identity: Women Artists in the 90s, and the 2017 California-Pacific Triennial: Building As Ever. Events included a documentary screening of Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict directed by Lisa Immordino Vreeland, a folk revival musical performance, a rare performance connecting American jazz to traditional Japanese music, a screening of the film Neon directed by Lawrence Johnston followed by a Q&A with Alan Hess, and screening of the documentary Frei Otto: Spanning the Future. Each Free Friday offered visitors the opportunity to increase their observation skills, learn new things, and deepen their experience of the artwork on view through discussions all at no cost. The professional staff rendering these services is Cassandra Coblentz, Senior Curator and Director of Public Engagement; Lindzy Butterfield, Public Engagement Program Assistant; and Nalini Sairsingh, Public Programming Assistant. All funds have been allocated to date during OCMA’s 2017 fiscal year. 2. Please describe how the program was evaluated. Include information on measures your organization has initiated to improve the project in the future. Each Free Friday was evaluated based on the level of attendance, staff observations, and audience feedback both verbal and through surveys. The number of visitors per Friday was tracked by Visitor Services each day in as one of the efforts to measure the success of the program. Surveys were also handed to each guest to collect feedback on how information such as how participants were aware of the program and their interests. Survey questions included: • How do you receive information on OCMA exhibitions and programs? • What are the best times for you to visit the museum? • In what type of museum activities are you interested? • Ethnicity • Age group • Gender • Zip code • Number of visitors in your party/group For the upcoming 2017 fall season, OCMA’s External Affairs department is targeting a more specific audience including students from local schools and seniors from nearby senior centers. Future strategies are still being drafted for the upcoming exhibition cycle. 3. Please add any other comments you feel are appropriate. 4. Please attach relevant press clippings, brochures, photos, etc. that demonstrate how the project was completed or is in process. Enclosed are a number of press clippings on the exhibitions on view during the grant period for the exhibitions American Mosaic: Picturing Modern Art through the Eye of Duncan Phillips, Brian Bress: Make Your Own Friends, Li Hui: V, Pop Art Design, Forms of Identity: Women Artists in the 90s, and the 2017 California-Pacific Triennial: Building As Ever. Please limit your narrative to no more than two (2) pages. The Completion Report must be received by the Arts Commission by September 29, 2017 at 4:00 pm. This report must be submitted in order to be eligible for future Arts Commission funding. If the project has not yet been presented, please complete the report with your progress to date.

SMITH For more than 50 years, the Orange County Museum of Art has been building one of the ﬁnest art collections on the West Coast. In 1962, when our 13 visionary founding women started bringing contemporary art to Orange County they were met with diverse reactions. From delight to shock and bewilderment to amusement; the work was like nothing seen before. It was new and it always got visitors’ attention. Not only from locals, this new gallery and its exhibitions garnered praise from art world colleagues around the United States. Thanks to the adventurous mind-set of the institution’s early leadership, the museum also collected important artwork ahead of the curve; to care for and store for generations to come. These efforts began in earnest in the early 1970s when works by now renowned artists such as JOSEF ALBERS, ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG, JOHN BALDESSARI, and ED RUSCHA entered the collection. Since that time, the collection has grown to more than 3,000 works of art that now include ANDY WARHOL, BETYE SAAR, LARRY BELL, CHRIS BURDEN, CHARLES RAY, RICHARD DIEBENKORN, BRUCE CONNOR, JOHN MCCRACKEN, and ROBERT IRWIN, to name a few. Although we are only able to show small portions of the collection in our current galleries, this winter, we are pleased to present some extraordinary art from the collection in two exhibitions: POP ART DESIGN and FORMS OF IDENTITY: WOMEN ARTISTS IN THE 90S. In POP ART DESIGN, an exhibition organized by the Vitra Design Museum in Germany, we are pleased to add important Pop Art works from OCMA’s collection. Visitors will once again enjoy seeing our works by ANDY WARHOL, BILLY AL BENGSTON, ROY LICHTENSTEIN, ED RUSCHA, VIJA CELMINS, CLAES OLDENBURG, and JASPER JOHNS. It is rewarding to see OCMA’s artworks stand up so well in this exhibition with important Pop Art from collections around the world. Concurrently, FORMS OF IDENTITY features 18 artworks from the collection in an exhibition that examines an important shift in the art world of the 1990s as women began to consider the ‘self’ in their art practices. We get to once again enjoy one of RACHEL LACHOWICZ’ lipstick sculptures; MILLIE WILSON’s sculptures made of human hair; DIANE GAMBOA’s Painted Lady (1990); a mixed media collage by ALEXIS SMITH, as well as works by LIZ CRAFT and HELEN PASHGIAN. Another marker of a world-class collection is its loan program. For decades, OCMA has been sharing artworks with museums and education institutions nationally and internationally, and 2016 was no different. The year began with our ROBERT IRWIN, Untitled (#2220), 1969, on view at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland. On the East Coast, our Untitled (refrigerator), 2009, by RODNEY MCMILLIAN was on view at Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington D.C. presented two works by ROBERT IRWIN. Our monumental cement-block installation by CARL ANDRE was on view at MOMA PS1 in New York; while New Yorkers were also able to view our CROSS, 1962, by BRUCE CONNER. Back on the West Coast, the de Young Museum, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art both displayed works from our collection this past fall. In 2016 alone, selections from our collection were viewed by more than 900,000 people in the US and abroad. This is something we can all be proud of, because this collection was created, nurtured, and shared through the efforts of countless individuals.

FOOD TRUCK ONSITE POP ART DESIGN Pop Art is one of the most inﬂuential art movements since 1945 with a fundamental element of dialogue between design and art. Pop Art Design is the ﬁrst comprehensive exhibition examining the inspirations and cross-references between art and design that continue to shape our society today. It features a large number of important works by artists including ANDY WARHOL, CLAES OLDENBURG, ROY LICHTENSTEIN, ED RUSCHA, and RICHARD HAMILTON; juxtaposed with works by designers such as CHARLES AND RAY EAMES, GEORGE NELSON, ACHILLE CASTIGLIONI, and ETTORE SOTTSASS; as well as extensive ephemera. With this variety of material, the exhibition demonstrates how design in the early 1950s anticipated later elements of Pop Art when both artists and designers explored the motifs of the emerging consumer society. Objects of daily use were transformed into artistic pictorial forms and sculptures while designers, in turn, availed themselves of artistic strategies like quotation, collage, and irony to develop a new aesthetic for everyday objects. The exhibition features approximately ﬁfty works of art and eighty design objects from international museums. Pop Art Design is organized by the Vitra Design Museum in collaboration with the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark, and the Moderna Museet, Stockholm. Support for the exhibition is provided by the Alison Baker Frenzel Trust, Valaree Wahler, Anonymous, Pam and Jim Muzzy, Pamela Schmider, and the Museum Council in honor of its 55th Anniversary. Installation support is provided by Peter Blake Modern. IMAGE: GEORGE NELSON ASSOCIATES, INC.

FORMS OF IDENTITYWOMEN ARTISTS IN THE 90S The last decade of the twentieth century marked a brief, but signiﬁcant moment of intense, rapid sociopolitical, economic, and cultural transforma- tion, particularly for women. Forms of Identity: Women Artists in the 90s includes a selection of artworks from the permanent collection created by sixteen signiﬁcant women artists working in this time period whose artistic practice shifted from the political to personal. Whereas feminist movements prior to the 90s primarily addressed issues between the two genders, postmodernism and women artists in the 90s expanded the critique of being ‘the other.’ Women artists began to shift from more radical direct approaches to more covert poetic gestures, opening new freedoms to explore art making in a much more familiar and personal shape: their own identity. This exhibition includes eighteen works, eight of which are recent donations to the permanent collection.

Yes If so, when? 2016-17 Year organization was founded 1978 Number of paid staff 58 # of active volunteers 2,415 Total amount requested: (from request line of project budget) $ 5,000 Estimated number of people in Newport Beach the proposed project(s) will serve: 1,519 2 CULTURAL ARTS GRANT APPLICATION 1. Briefly describe below your organization’s purpose, mission, and goals. Pacific Symphony’s mission is to inspire, engage and serve Orange County through exceptional music performances and education and community programming. The organization was founded in 1978 to provide classical music for the region. Its overall goals are to: 1) Establish the organization as a beacon of artistic achievement and Orange County’s artistic ambassador to the world; 2) Attract, engage and serve a larger and more diverse audience in Orange County and the surrounding region by enhancing and leveraging its innate versatility; and 3) Engage its diverse community to inspire curiosity, improve well-being and to connect with citizens through a deeper appreciation and love of classical music. The orchestra produces over 100 concerts and presentations for the public every year serving 275,000 residents and visitors. Education and community engagement programs provide interactive music enrichment for K-12 students, underserved populations and disadvantaged residents. In alignment with its new strategic plan, the Symphony is continuing efforts in earnest this year for greater national and international visibility: Pacific Symphony will be seen on PBS Great Performances in February 2018 and embark on tours to Carnegie Hall in April 2018 and to five cities in China in May 2018. 2. Identify and describe why there is a need in the Newport Beach Community for your proposed project/program. Include a quantitative description of the need and on what you based your findings (i.e. “Based on a study done by the PTA, there are one hundred children in the 4th-6th grades at Newport Elementary who have had no training with musical instruments.” ) Describe how you have determined that your organization is the best organization for the proposed project/program. The benefits of studying music have proven to augment student academic achievement. Research from a 2017 study at the Brain and Creativity Institute of USC demonstrates that exposure to music and music instruction accelerates the brain development of young children in the areas responsible for language development, sound, reading skill and speech perception. All of these elements of child development are necessary for student success in STEM proficiency, as determined by clinical physicians. This new brain imaging data shows that music training accelerates brain development in children, specifically rapid development of the auditory pathway in students. Pacific Symphony’s Class Act program includes three Newport Beach elementary schools: Andersen and Harbor View (each starting their 8th year in Class Act) and Newport Coast (entering its 9th year). The multiple-year engagement of children in the program has ensured the delivery of many academic and developmental benefits of music learning. Based on the above recent research, as well as data confirming that student involvement in the arts is of great value, there is a continuing need for music programs in Newport Beach. For this project, the total number served is 1,519 students, teachers and principals in three schools. The program was initially designed and developed to meet the region’s decline of available arts programs, helping the Newport-Mesa School District with music programs to fill the gaps created by budget cuts to the arts. Newport Beach schools rely on Pacific Symphony to provide quality arts education programs for their students, and arts training and music education for teachers. Class Act remains the only arts education program in the county furnishing professional union Pacific Symphony musicians in the classroom, serving as teaching artists in schools. 3 3. Describe the specific project/program that will be funded by a cultural grant. Include how the proposed project/program will be implemented and outline a schedule or project timeline, with planned dates and locations. Identify individuals and groups involved, particularly artists and performers, and describe their roles and responsibilities. Describe the background and qualifications of your organization and key personnel to be involved in the program. Remember: the City funds only projects and programs- not operating expenses. These projects and programs must promote community involvement and awareness of the arts in Newport Beach. Is this a new_____ or existing __X__ project/program? Renewed funding is respectfully requested for the Class Act Music Education Program in three Newport Beach city schools for 2017-18. Since 1994, Class Act has filled the growing local need for quality music education using the arts as a means to enhance academic achievement and enrich school communities. Class Act trains and places individual professional Pacific Symphony union musicians into Orange County-based schools. Musicians work as teaching artists in year-long residencies focused on the fundamentals of music through age-appropriate classroom instruction. Class Act runs from September to June, with participating schools forming a team consisting of the principal, teachers, parent coordinators, school volunteers and the Pacific Symphony musician. The Symphony designs a Common Core curriculum-based theme, workshop materials and lesson plans for all schools by September. The 2017-18 composer is Ludwig van Beethoven with the theme “Trials to Triumphs.” Materials are delivered to classroom teachers from September to December during training workshops where they learn to integrate music into all areas of learning. Student activities and arts workshops with the Symphony musician run from January to May. Youth Concerts and Bravo Assemblies conclude Class Act in June. Program evaluation is conducted to assess future improvements. Class Act staff also gauges program effectiveness throughout the year to monitor curricular and implementation goals to ensure that all objectives are being met. Class Act participants include the entire student body at Andersen, Harbor View and Newport Coast Elementary Schools, as well as school teachers, principals, parent coordinators, administrators and volunteers. There are eleven Pacific Symphony musicians who participate in Class Act, which serves an overall total of 32 Orange County schools. Each school is assigned one professional union musician, which alters every year. Three of the eleven musicians inaugurated Class Act in 1994; with the remaining 8 all long-time members of the orchestra and/or seasoned Class Act leaders. The program is led by Vice President of Education Susan Kotses, who has 10 years of experience with the Symphony. Class Act utilizes a staff of 7 who manage, coordinate and oversee all program components and activities. Since its beginning, Class Act has served over 265,000 students, teachers and principals in Orange County, over a 23-year history. 4. Define or describe the segment of the population in Newport Beach that you intend to serve by your project/program. Include such things as age, location, numbers served, etc. In 2017-18, Class Act will serve 1,519 residents of three Newport Beach elementary schools: Andersen Elementary with 380 students, Harbor View Elementary with 449 students, and Newport Coast with 624 students. Each school serves Kindergarten to 6th grade students, ages 5-11. Teachers total 63 this year, alongside three school principals. All three schools have partnered with Class Act for a number of years, and all three were the beneficiaries of funds from this grant in 2016-17. 4 5. Complete the project budget form. Address only the budget for the specific project, not your annual operating budget. For multi-project proposals, please duplicate and fill out a budget for each project. Please annotate the budget at the bottom if there are details (such as a breakdown of personnel or a marketing budget) critical to the proposal. PROJECT BUDGET Funding from the Funding from EXPENSES-Personnel City of Newport Beach Other Sources Artistic 2,700 23,000 Administrative 600 8,215 Technical Production EXPENSES-Operating Facility Exp./Space Rental Marketing Production/Exhibition Exp. Touring/Presentation Exp. Educational Materials 1,700 4,000 Transportation Equipment Other (note 10% or greater) GRAND TOTAL $5,000 $35,215 6. Describe the expected quantifiable outcomes of your project/program and how you will evaluate the results. Be very specific in addressing the ways that you will determine that your project/program met the needs that you identified and accomplishes the goals you set out to achieve (i.e. you provide 50 hours of musical instruction and instruments to the 100 children at Newport Elementary school as measured by music store rental receipts and logs of instructors.) The overall desired outcome is for K-6 children to improve their academic achievement through music education in the classroom at each school. The overarching outcome for teachers is to improve arts aptitude in order to teach the arts more effectively in the classroom, and help augment student learning in music. The quantifiable outcomes for the 1,453 Class Act students and 63 teachers in 2017-18 are: 1. A total of 75% or 1,090 students out of the estimated 1,453 will demonstrate increased knowledge about the Class Act composer of the year and his music. Outcomes are measured through pre- and post-program testing, questionnaires and teacher surveys. 2. A total of 872 students out of the 1,453 total will manifest a desire to further engage in music, representing 60% of all Class Act students. Results are measured through student follow-up polls, surveys and enrollment in subsequent school and community music programs. 3. A total of 80% or 50 of the 63 teacher participants will increase their capacity to teach the arts more effectively and better support the Common Core in their classroom. These results are quantified through teacher surveys, individual interviews and one-on-one follow-up meetings.

The program introduces up to 19,000 students and their families to the musicians of Pacific Symphony and educates them on orchestral music. The students’ year culminates with the opportunity to attend a performance by the full orchestra at Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. This year-long program gives students, parents, teachers and administrators the opportunity to host their very own Pacific Symphony musician, who provides lessons, assemblies and concerts centered on a selected composer and theme. Classroom teachers are given Common Core and VAPA aligned standards based materials and training to extend the learning experience with their students. With so many program components and opportunities to interact, valuable relationships are created between school communities and the musicians of Pacific Symphony. Class Act introduces and exposes students to music through engaging educational experiences, which paves the way for personal involvement and growth in the arts. “There has been a systematic depletion of our students' exposure to the arts…the school-wide field trip, the classroom instruction, the personal connection with musicians, and the celebration of our students’ performances have made Class Act a powerful motivator and influence in our school and the lives of our students.” – Dale Hillyer, principal of Stoddard Elementary Program Goals: 1) To form close relationships between Pacific Symphony and school communities throughout Orange County. 2) To enrich the quality and enhance availability of music learning in schools through sequential interactions with professional musicians. 3) To develop a foundation for life-long learning through the arts. 4) To enhance the school’s learning environment via repeated exposure to the expectations of a concert and guest-artist environment. 5) To facilitate the teaching of and exposure to the arts in the classroom.

Please describe the effectiveness of your organization's grant project(s), in terms of: a. The size and composition of the target group reached Through its Class Act Music Education Program, Pacific Symphony served the total number of students it proposed to reach: 1,311 Newport Beach K-6 grade children. Specifically, there were 365 students of Andersen Elementary, 425 students at Harbor View Elementary, and 521 students of Newport Coast Elementary. In addition, there were 55 teachers and 3 principals, for a grand total of 1,369 individuals served. b. Conformity to the planned time framework Pacific Symphony’s Class Act program ran on the school-year calendar, with participating schools confirming their program participation in September 2016, teacher professional development taking place in October/November 2016, together with parent coordinator meetings. Student-centered music activities took place from January to May 2017, with the culminating Youth Concerts presented on May 17, 18, 19 and 22, 2017 at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Bravo Assemblies for each of the three Newport elementaries were held in June 2017. c. The theme of the project Every year, Class Act features a different composer of the year, with the 2016-17 program highlighting the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart through an annual theme entitled “Musical Journeys.” Class Act assigns a different musician to each participating school which alternates every year (which is highly effective for multiple-year participants such as the three Newport Beach elementaries.) Last year, violinist MarlaJoy Weisshaar worked in Andersen Elementary representing the higher string section of the orchestra; bass- trombonist Kyle Mendiguchia represented brass and worked at Harbor View Elementary; and cellist Ian McKinnell represented the lower string section as he worked at Newport Coast Elementary. d. The allocation of funds to date All $4,500 of the grant funds were used during the program year. More precisely, $2,700 was utilized for professional union musician fees for the three teaching artists in Newport Beach schools; $600 was spent on administrative support which included mailings and communication with the three schools over the year; and $1,700 was used for educational materials such as teacher support documents, artistic/ music supplies such as CDs, and informational provisions such as supplementary goods about the composer. e. The kinds of educational services provided by this project Each of the eleven Class Act musician teaching artists are trained before the beginning of the program to receive instruction on the composer and theme of the year. Many of the Class Act musicians have served in the program for over 10 years, or are in other Symphony education programs – with three musicians serving in all 23 years of the program. Many Class Act musicians also have private studios and teach in schools or at community centers, and have multiple years of experience in music instruction. Each Class Act musician provides five or more interactive sessions, workshops, visits and concerts for their assigned school. Program curriculum addresses both the Common Core and California State Board of Education’s Visual and Performing Arts Framework and Music Content Standards. Component strand 1.0 Artistic Perception for Music is a focus of Class Act: “Processing, analyzing and responding to sensory information through the language and skills unique to music;” and Content Standard 1.2 Artistic Perception: “Identify and describe basic elements in music,” and 2.2 Creative Expression: “Sing age-appropriate songs from memory.” 3 f. The composition of the professional staff rendering these services Class Act is overseen by the Vice President of Education Susan Kotses, Director of Education Jonathan Terry, Education Manager Carrie Villanueva, and Class Act Coordinator Niko Giaimo. Longtime regional manager for the Newport Beach area is Lynne Abraham-Yadlin who helps coordinate school activities and schedules. The program receives artistic leadership from Music Director Carl St.Clair and President John Forsyte, who contribute to the program in numerous and uncredited ways. 2. Please describe how the program was evaluated. Include information on measures your organization has initiated to improve the project in the future. Both quantitative and qualitative instruments are used to measure program effectiveness including pre- and post-surveys, written evaluations, questionnaires and focus groups incorporating feedback from students, teachers, principals, parents and other participants. Mid-year and year-end meetings with school team personnel address challenges and areas for growth. There were three expected outcomes for Newport Beach students for this project, which were achieved: 1. A total 983 out of 1,311 students (or 75%) increased their knowledge about the Class Act composer of the year, Mozart, and his musical compositions. This outcome was determined through pre- and post- program tests which measured the increase, as well as from questionnaires and teacher surveys. 2. A total of 787 out of the 1,311 students (or 60%) manifested a desire to further engage in music, documented through student follow-up polls, and year-end surveys of students and teachers. 3. A total of 44 of 55 teachers (or 88%) increased their capacity to teach the arts more effectively and better support the Common Core in their classroom. Through written surveys, all 100% of Class Act teachers agreed that the program increased their own appreciation of symphonic music and musical knowledge. New this year, the Symphony initiated a community-wide convening in order to help build stronger learning communities in areas with multiple Class Act partners. While Newport Beach was not one of the meeting locations, a gathering was held for the Anaheim City School District’s six Class Act partner schools. More and more community meetings such as these are being conducted with active teacher and parent involvement. They often come about from casual conversations and meetings, such as PTA events, with like-minded principals, district leaders, parents and community volunteers. Also, please see the attached summary report of specific outcomes achieved through Class Act in 2016-17. 3. Please add any other comments you feel are appropriate. Pacific Symphony expresses its sincere gratitude to the Newport Beach City Arts Commission for their funding support in 2016-17.

Please attach relevant press clippings, brochures, photos, etc. that demonstrate how the project was completed or is in process. Enclosed please find a summary of Class Act’s overall program accomplishments in 2016-17, which also includes photos, quotes, a student artwork sample, and listings of student and teacher results. Class Act 2016-17 Program Report The Class Act Music Education Program provided music education for 32 schools during the 2016-17 academic year, offering in-school musical activities led by eleven Pacific Symphony musicians. School partners ranged from Title I institutions to private schools. In addition to the children who were transformed by their program participation, classroom teachers and principals gained benefits during the academic year, as well as parents, school administrators and community volunteers. Over a 23-year history, it is estimated that the program has served more than 345,000 students. Students explore a new composer and theme during every year of the program, and work closely with a new Symphony musician. The annual theme in 2016-17 was “Musical Journeys” examined through the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The 2016-17 Youth Concerts took place over four school days in May, and were enthusiastically received. The level of student engagement maintains a high intensity, with expanded image magnification (“I-Mag”) included in all eight concerts, as well as interactive and participatory components which are always included. The Class Act music education program continues to serve as a national model for arts education and as an inspiration to other local music program providers.

In all, 636 Newport Beach elementary school students and educators were among more than 9,500 who experienced a free weekday matinee performance. The project timeframe and fund allocation were as expected and within budget for all shows. The season program featured productions of Mr. Popper’s Penguins, Flora & Ulysses and Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing. All three productions were presented at the highest level of artistic excellence to excited young audiences from four Orange County school districts - Newport Mesa, Santa Ana, Saddleback Valley and Fountain Valley. Overall, more than 50% of participating students were from low to moderate income families. Average free matinee performance attendance more than 90% of capacity and public performances on weekends were also well attended to near capacity with children and families from Newport Beach and throughout Orange County. SCR’s Artistic Director, Marc Masterson, oversaw the 2016-2017 TYA season and SCR’s Associate Artistic Director, John Glore, was responsible for dramaturgy and literary leadership. In collaboration with Marc, John helped to create the 2016-2017 TYA season, including casting decisions and thoughtful attention to the highest production values. Conservatory and Educational Programs Director, Hisa Takakuwa supervised administration of the program. Hisa is a seasoned educator and theatre professional with nearly 25 years of experience at SCR. Scheduling of school visits was the responsibility of our Educational Programs Associate, Janis Morrissette, who has nearly 20 years of experience at SCR working with Orange County school districts in scheduling SCR’s in-school programs. Evaluation of TYA is carried out on several levels. First of all, SCR’s Artistic Director oversees all aspects of SCR’s productions, including TYA. Together with Associate Artistic Director John Glore, they evaluate the overall artistic, production and literary content at the close of every production. Conservatory and Educational Programs Director, Hisa Takakuwa, supervises the TYA outreach to the schools and directs outreach evaluation. SCR’s Education and Outreach Committee, a volunteer group of Trustees, community leaders and local educators, also provides evaluative guidance. This committee reviews all of our education and outreach programs and provides us with constructive suggestions. Participation and engagement of the family paid performance audience is tracked by SCR’s Marketing Department. In addition to the evaluation methods described above, surveys were used to collect qualitative and quantitative feedback to rate aspects of the program and the use of educational materials. Surveys revealed the value of the program as a cultural learning experience, with nearly 90% of educators and students rating the program 5 out of 5.

The Newport Beach Arts Foundation turned these funds over to the City of Newport Beach in June 2015 for performing arts programming. In order to use these funds effectively, Chair Chang, at the September meeting of the City Arts Commission, appointed a committee to devise a plan for staging live Shakespeare performances on the Peninsula with the Balboa Performing Arts Theatre Foundation funds. The Committee consists of Vice Chair Arlene Greer, Commissioner Michelle Bendetti, and Commissioner Barbara Glabman. The Committee asked staff to determine potential vendors for staging the plays at Marina Park. Vendors include Shakespeare by the Sea, Alchemy Theatre Company, Shakespeare OC, and the New Swan Shakespeare Festival. The Committee will meet in November to review vendors, formulate a budget, and prepare to make a formal proposal for City Arts Commission approval. Accessing these funds requires City Council approval; staff will present a plan for staging Shakespeare performances at Marina Park and request that the City Manager include a portion of these funds in the 2018/19 budget for City Arts Commission programming.

The event will celebrate the addition of nine new sculptures to the Sculpture in the Civic Center Park Exhibition. A short program will be held in Council Chambers beginning at 2 p.m., with a reception following. Some of the artists will be on hand to talk about their artwork and visitors will be able to take a walking tour of the sculptures. Special art activities for children will be presented by the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity. The 14-acre Newport Beach Civic Center Park was specially designed by renowned landscape architect Peter Walker as an intended sculpture garden. Arts Orange County provided professional services for the coordination of the artist selection and installation of the sculptures. The nine new sculptures were selected from submissions received by a national call for entries based on their artistic merit, durability, practicality and site appropriateness. They are being installed October 23-26 and will remain at the Civic Center Park until Summer 2019. The nine sculptures are as follows: Burnt Matchstick by Karl Unnasch, Flight by Steven Rieman, Popsicles by Craig Gray, Be Still and Know by John Merigian, No Swimming by Oleg Lobykin, Cosmic Glints by Patricia Vader, Getting Your Bearings by David Boyer, Cultural Pedestrians by Sue Quinlan, and Life is a Balancing Act by Cindy Debold.
