THE FESTIVALL CHARLESTON 2009 CAPITOL STREET ART FAIR
Dear Artisan,
Charleston Mayor Danny Jones and Executive Director Larry Groce invite you to apply for the fifth annual FestivALL Capitol Street Art Fair. The Fair will take place on Saturday, June 27, 2009, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sunday, June 28, 2009, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
FestivALL will take place for a total of ten days, beginning on June 19, 2009. Events will include the Smoke on the Water Chili Cook-off, the Mayor’s Concert, the Fund for the Arts’ Blues, Brews & BBQ and Wine & All That Jazz, Mountain Stage, and performances involving theater, music, and dance, plus other visual arts and special events.
There will be local and regional marketing of FestivALL and events listings via website, rack cards, posters, fliers, billboards, print ads, radio and television commercials, and other promotions. This year the artisans who are juried into the Art Fair in March will be included in the printed schedules.
For the 2009 Art Fair all artisans are required to go through a formal jurying process in order to maintain a high level of quality and achieve a balanced mix of media for the Fair. The necessary information is enclosed with this letter. We welcome applications from artisans from across West Virginia and outside of the state, including emerging artisans.
Artisan evaluations of the 2008 Fair provided both positive feedback and suggestions for improvements. Based on these evaluations a number of changes are being made for 2009. These include:
• We have contracted with one supplier for all tents.
• The basic booth space is being increased from 8’ to 10’. Tents are being moved further away from the stages and fewer tents will be used between Lee and Washington Streets. All cars will be kept from parking on this block.
• A limited number of individual 10’ x 10’ tents will be made available, if possible, adjacent to Capitol Street.
• The number of demonstrators for children is being expanded to four on each of the two blocks.
• There will be overhead lights in each of the long tents. Individual electricity will continue to be provided wherever possible.
• Security will be enhanced, but all artisans who leave goods overnight do so at their own risk. Fair hours are being adjusted to allow artisans to remove their goods Saturday night and bring them back Sunday morning.
• Artisans will be limited to a total of two spaces (20’ frontage).
• Application fees have been raised due to increased costs per space. Note that FestivALL does not take a commission on sales.
Allied Artists and Tamarack continue to be partners in the production of the Art Fair and each have identified tents for artisans juried into their organizations. Allied Artists and Tamarack artisans will be juried for the Art Fair through the same process as all other applicants.
Ron DeWitt, Tamarack Artisan Services Director, is serving as the Chair of the Selections Committee, and all applications will be sent directly to him. The Committee includes two representatives each from Allied Artists, Tamarack, and unaffiliated artists. I also sit on this Committee. None of the Committee members will be exhibiting at the Fair.
We encourage you to apply by the early deadline in order to benefit from the reduced fees. All applications will be juried at the same time, on March 12 and 13, 2009. All checks will be held uncashed until after the jurying process. If your application is not accepted then your check will be returned. Notifications will be mailed out by April 3, 2009.
If you are interested in participating in this Fair, please submit the application form, a check for the appropriate fee, and five photos or a CD with five images for each separate medium. Please use postal tracking in sending your application and keep a copy of your verification of delivery.
This letter and the application and background materials are posted on the FestivALL web site, www.festivallcharleston.com, This packet is also available by email or postal mail upon request. The web site will also have information about the other events for the 2009 FestivALL as updates become available.

GOAL SETTING FOR 2009
This is Part Two of our Personal Inventory as artists as we move into 2009. You can use the information you discovered in Part One to help you set goals for 2009 and beyond.
You will 9 blank pages. Write one heading per page:
SPIRITUALITY
HEALTH & BODY
EMOTIONAL WELL BEING
RELATIONSHIPS
INTELLECTUAL STIMULATION
FINANCIAL SECURITY
CAREER (BUSINESS)
CREATIVITY
FUN
Then under each of these headings, write:
10 YEARS
5 YEARS
3 YEARS
1 YEAR
So your layout should look like this:
SPIRITUALITY
10
5
3
1
Do this for each page heading. Once you have your structure set up, it’s time to fill in the blanks. Sometimes, it’s easiest to start with the 10 year mark and work backwards.
Where do you want to be in terms of your spiritual development in 10 years? If that’s your goal, what steps do you need to take this year to head toward that goal? What milestones do you think will mean progress at the 3 year and 5 year mark?
Ask yourself these questions for each subject heading. Feel free to jump around – no need to do them in any special order – and leave things blank if you’re just not sure. Again, there is no judgment in this exercise – this is about seeing where you need to focus new energy or where you are spending all of your time. Also, you can list several goals or you can just identify one goal per year – it’s entirely up to you to use this map in a way that’s helpful to plan your own life. There are no rules.
Also notice that I have separated business from creativity – as artists, we often get caught up in production or business concerns and spend our creative energy in those pursuits. Creating work is not the same as selling work! Look at what happens when you separate the two!
Here’s an example of how you might fill one out:
CAREER (BUSINESS)
10 Year
- MOUNTAIN MAMA Production Company: funding, producing, creating films, tv, books and plays that further the empowerment of women, artists and Appalachians.
- Nominations for Pulitzer, Oscar and Emmy
5 Year
- The Constant Creator series has become new Artist’s Way.
- Ability to produce other artist’s work
- Play on Broadway
- Commercial Xmas movie creates financing for indie projects
3 Year
- Shot feature premieres at Sundance with theatrical release
- TV show on the air
- Mentropy is best seller
- Constant Creator series is completed and sold
1 Year - 2009
- Become WGA member
- Sell TV project
- Constant Creator proposal completed

end of year personal inventory
Artists -
For each month of 2008, place the events in your life, the pieces you created, the work you did, the people, places, parties, etc - that correspond to these aspects of your development:
PERSONAL
- Emotional
- Mental
- Spiritual
- Physical
CAREER
- Creative
- Business
- Finances
- Production
Here's an example of how a finished one might look:
JANUARY 2008
PERSONAL: Turned 52
Emotional: Got enganged
Mental: Registered for Spanish class
Spiritual: Began meditating 10 minutes a day
Physical: Lost 5 pounds
CAREER: Got an agent
Creative: Joined a writer's group
Business: Did agent mailing, secured an agent
Finances: Was behind on rent
Production: Auditioned actors for play production
Please do this for every month of 2008 including December - based on your current plans. You may not be able to fill out every slot, or some slots may be really full while others are completely empty.
As you write, notice any patterns. Are you neglecting your spiritual self? Are you all work and no play? Are you in production mode all the time and not sewing the seeds of creativity?
No judgement, just notice - make the list, like a shopkeeper takes inventory.

grants for arts org serving kids
Coming Up Taller Awards Program Invites Nominations of Arts Programs for Underserved Children and Youth
Deadline: January 30, 2009
The President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (http://www.pcah.gov/) invites nominations for the 2009 Coming Up Taller Awards ( http://www.cominguptaller.org/).
In partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services ( http://www.imls.gov/), the National Endowment for the Arts ( http://www.arts.gov/), and the National Endowment for the
Humanities ( http://www.neh.gov/), PCAH is embarking on the twelfth year of the awards, which recognize the accomplishments of exceptional arts and humanities afterschool and out-of-school programs. Programs initiated by museums, libraries, performing arts organizations, universities, colleges, arts centers, community service organizations, schools, businesses, and eligible government entities are encouraged to participate.
To be eligible, nominated programs must operate as a program for children and youth outside the school day. However, preschool, afterschool, weekend, and/or summer programs may have a school based component or use school space. Programs must concentrate on children and youth who live in family and community circumstances that limit their opportunities, and must involve those children and youth as active participants in the arts or humanities experience. (Cultural programs in which children function only as an audience are not eligible.) Programs must provide participants with regularly scheduled sessions on an ongoing basis; one-time or occasional programs will not be considered. Programs must have been operational since January 2005 and must be administered by a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, unit of state or local government, or federally recognized tribal community or tribe.
Coming Up Taller finalists each receive $10,000, an individualized plaque, and an invitation to attend the Coming Up Taller Leadership Enhancement Conference.
Visit the Coming Up Taller Web site for complete program guidelines.

WINTER PLAYWRITING INTENSIVE
Brooke Berman and Anne Garcia Romero are teaching a playwriting workshop in LA starting January 13 and running through February 7. We will meet on Tuesday nights, for writing exercises, and Saturday afternoons for longer, more focussed feedback sessions.
This is a great way to start your creative new year. Bring new work! Start new work! Renew the practice! You can expect the usual mix of luxurious writing exercises geared towards shaking up the unconscious, dipping into dream logic, and letting the writing itself be your guide. You can also expect longer feedback sessions each Saturday and a "Structure Lab" in which we will look at the structural element of the plays we love and find out what holds each world together.
Tuesday evenings are devoted to in-class writing exercises - the spine of the class - opening each writer's voice and connection to source material, accessing the deeper mind and imagination to create rich play material. On Saturday afternoons, writers will share pages with one another and receive feedback and support. This workshop is perfect for writers at all levels.
The workshop will be limited to 12 writers.
