| | ArtServe Honors Oscar-winning filmmaker, Arts Advocate Michael Moore
We are proud to announce that during this year's Traverse City Film Festival, ArtServe Michigan will honor local film industry advocate and Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore with the 2011 Arts Legacy Award. The award, introduced in 2009, recognizes Moore as an individual who significantly contributes to the support and empowerment of arts, culture and arts education in Michigan.
As Founder and President of the State Theatre and Traverse City Film Festival, Moore has brought millions of dollars to the Traverse City area since 2005, has been an advocate for the Michigan film industry and has been a leader in art house theater restoration. Because of his unmistakable contributions as a filmmaker, author and advocate for the arts, we are proud to honor him with the Arts Legacy Award sculpture, created in partnership by The Henry Ford and former Michigan artist Garry Venerable. Past recipients have included Rick DeVos for his commitment to ArtPrize and Chrysler, Ford Motor Company and General Motor for their lasting contributions to strengthen and sustain the arts in Michigan. Join us in honoring Michael Moore during The Traverse City Film Festival awards event held on July 30 at the State Theatre. Tickets start at $25.

| Grant Application Paperwork Reduced Due to Michigan CDP Reporting Features The next grant round of the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs (MCACA) will have reduced paperwork because portions of the Michigan Cultural Data Project will replace it. In 2010, the MCACA awarded more than 200 grants to organizations across the state. This year, applicants will not have to complete budget and economic impact questions because that information will be provided through the Michigan Cultural Data Project (Michigan CDP). Grants are due to the MCACA on Monday, October 3, 2011. Organizations Must Complete Profiles to be Included in Demonstrating Impact As a unique online tool to help arts and cultural organizations make their voices heard about the value they bring to Michigan communities, the Michigan CDP utilizes a rigorous data check process to provide more reliable data. Nearing the threshold of statistically valid data to demonstrate the economic contributions of the arts and cultural sector, now is a critical time for arts organizations to finish entering their data, achieving 'Review Complete' status. This fall, four regional studies and one statewide report will be compiled using CDP Review Complete data. This information will demonstrate the value of the arts and culture sector to elected officials, foundations and government agencies. The data will influence the funding decisions made by any one of these organizations. CDP training will be held: - August 22 in Dearborn
- August 23 in Royal Oak
- August 24 in Jackson
- August 25 in Kalamazoo
- September 12 in St. Ignace
- September 13 in Traverse City
- September 14 in Holland
Registration is recommended for the free program. |
