Invention Session #1: Galapagos
Starving Artist: Fact or Fiction: Non-Profit Doesn’t = No Money
Tuesday, September 16, 2008, 7:30-9:30pm; reception to follow
Galapagos Art Space
(RSVP is now closed - but WALK UPS ARE WELCOME!!!)

What makes us think that we're a 'sell out' if we make money from our art?  Why do we seem to believe that we must suffer to make great art, yet we pine away for the seemingly Utopian government sponsored art cultures of Berlin and Brussels?  Is there something inherently hierarchical and damaging in the 'gift economy' that the arts and philanthropy work in?  The non-profit model that most artists use may not be the best model for our work, yet we gravitate to it like lemmings.  What about being for-profit or for-benefit?  What do those things even mean?  What about LLCs and L3Cs and what about a blend model? 

Join The Field and Galapagos in a lively free discussion about the dysfunctional psychology of the non-profit model, and learn about potential alternative business models that might serve you and your work better.   Learn about The Field’s Economic Revitalization for Performing Artists (ERPA) project and how you can apply to participate in ERPA’s entrepreneurial lab.

Moderated by Sara Juli, Performance Artist, Director of Development at Dance Theater Workshop

Panelists:
• Robert Elmes, Director, Galapagos Art Space

Chris Ajemian writes and directs new works and is the founder of CATES LLC, an international tutoring & test prep agency based in New York City that provides dedicated artists with high-paying and fulfilling freelance jobs.  His directing work has been seen at PS 122, Joyce SoHo, FringeNYC, Ontological-Hysteric, the American Dance Festival, Actors Theater of Louisville, Napa Valley Opera House, Nooderzon Festival (Netherlands), ArtsHouse (Melbourne) and The Edge (New Zealand).  Chris has also developed new projects in collaboration with the Radmin Company, Anonymous Content, NBC, CBS and Paramount Studios.  Upcoming: the World Premiere of Sara Juli's DEATH at PS 122 in October.
 
Amanda Clayman, L.M.S.W. is a pioneer in the field of financial wellness.  Financial wellness is a way of understanding and accepting the role that money plays in everyday life.  It includes feeling competent making financial decisions and communicating about money with friends and loved ones from a place of clarity and purpose.  It is not about building wealth per se, but centers on principles of self-care and self-determination.  In her role at The Actors Fund, Amanda counsels individuals and couples and has developed a number of workshops that support the unique financial challenges facing entertainment and performing arts professionals.
 
Robert Elmes is the Founder and Director of Galapagos Art Space.  Since 1995 Galapagos has played an important role in defining New York's cultural ecosystem.  The New York Times called Galapagos "an ever- growing cultural oasis," Time Out New York called it an "essential element of New York City," and The Village Voice wrote that Mr. Elmes is "building a cultural movement brick by brick."  Robert is originally from Vancouver, Canada, and freely admits that he really really likes hockey.
 
Sara Juli lives in Brooklyn and is both an active artist and arts administrator. Her innovative solo work has been performed at numerous New York City venues including Performance Space 122, The Ontological Theater, Danspace Project and many others.  Nationally she has performed her work at the American Dance Festival, Connecticut College, University of Nevada/Reno and the Napa Valley Opera House.  Internationally she has toured her work to The Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand.  Her piece, The Money Conversation, where she gives away $5,000 in cash to audiences every night, has generated interest around the globe on the topic of money and the “starving artist.”  Sara also works as the Director of Development at Dance Theater Workshop where she is responsible for the institutions fundraising program including institutional giving, individual giving, Board development, gift stewardship, planned giving, and cultivation of donors.
 
Brian Newman was recently named the President & CEO of the Tribeca Film Institute (TFI) as the result of a combination between Renew Media and TFI.  As a combined organization, the primary objective is to create one institution dedicated to innovation in film and media, the enrichment of audiences and the promotion of education, understanding and creativity through the media arts.  TFI now gives approximately $1.25 Million annually to filmmakers and media artists through grants and fellowships in the United States and Mexico, in addition to other programs for media artists, youth and the general public.  Newman was Executive Director of IMAGE Film & Video Center in Atlanta for five years, overseeing the Atlanta Film Festival among other programs.  Previously he held positions at the IFP and the South Carolina Arts Commission.  Brian also serves on the editorial advisory board for Art Papers magazine and the steering committee of Grantmakers in Film & Electronic Media (GFEM).  Newman has an MA in Film Studies from Emory University.

Chris Elam founded Misnomer Dance Theater, a NYC-based modern dance company founded in 1998. Misnomer was noted by the New York Times for creating “one of the top ten dance performances in NYC for 2006”, a show that earned Misnomer a position as one of “25 to Watch” for 2007 in Dance Magazine.  Misnomer has performed in over 250 theaters in the USA, Indonesia, Turkey, Ireland, Brazil, France, and the Ukraine, and has presented 6 NYC seasons with support from frequent residencies, most notably at the Baryshnikov Arts Center, NYU’s Skirball Center, and The Joyce Theater Foundation. Elam’s artistic voice was recognized by his nomination for the national 2008 Alpert Awards for Excellence in Choreography, while the breadth of his work is exemplified by the range of his artistic collaborators, including the musical artist Bjork, the documentary team at the Sundance Channel, the Danish Dance Theatre, and Apple Computers.  In addition, Elam’s work with Misnomer has led to the development of innovative online models to help performing artists make better use of web technologies. Elam advocates methodologies that bring audiences deeper into the performing arts experience and in 2008 is speaking on the subject of technology’s influence on audience engagement at conferences held by Fortune Magazine, Technology in the Arts, Arts & Business Council of NY, Dance USA, and PopTech. These efforts both complement and advance the company’s core artistic vision, which is, broadly, to engage its dancers and audiences in the experience and understanding of human interaction and intimacy. Elam is an active teacher, having worked in over fifteen universities, and is a world traveler, who has lived for extended periods within numerous dance communities worldwide ranging from Indonesia to Cuba. He received his undergraduate from Brown University and graduate degree from New York University.

Esther Robinson has worked on behalf of America's artists for over 14 years in many capacities, including foundation program officer, television and film producer, and technology entrepreneur. She is the founder of ArtHome, a non-profit business that helps artists and their communities build assets and equity through financial literacy and home-ownership.   From 1999 to 2006 Esther was the Director of Film/Video and Performing Arts for the Creative Capital Foundation and one of the principal architects of its innovative grant-making system. Established in 1999, Creative Capital provides funding to individual artists in media, performing, and visual arts, as well as emerging fields such as internet art, digital media, and work that combines science and creativity. Transforming the traditional role of grant-maker, Creative Capital pioneered a multi-faceted system of support for artists that includes working in long-term partnerships, providing advisory services and professional development assistance as well as traditional financial support. Esther's experience at Creative Capital made her intimately aware of the financial reality of working artists’ lives. Her close collaboration nationally with funders and artists and her annual adjudication of up to 1800 Creative Capital grant proposals (of which only two dozen would see funding), led her to question whether traditional grantmaking was the most effective way to support a stable and thriving culture sector in America. Recognizing the crucial role that financial solvency and home ownership had played in the lives of successful artists she had met across the country, Esther became convinced that home-buyer education and financial literacy should be vital components of a new support system for the arts. Determined to build a program that makes measurable change in the lives of individual artists, has broad impact regardless of aesthetic or cultural trends, and that builds vital communities both in and outside the cultural sector, Esther founded ArtHome. While developing ArtHome, Esther spent two years researching home-buying programs, low-income loan products, financial literacy curriculum and low-income wealth building strategies.  She has built a strong advisory board of artists, arts funders, community development leaders, artist housing experts, bankers, and financial experts.  She has been involved in numerous community development conferences and pursued professional development opportunities in financial literacy and homebuyer education. These have included intensive training through NeighborWorks(r) America's Training Division, where she acquired skills to deliver a comprehensive homebuyer education program based on the curriculum that NeighborWorks organizations use to turn prospective homebuyers into homeowners. Prior to this in 1995, Esther realized the goal of producing a national television series before her 25th birthday with Alive TV, a PBS series dedicated to alternative film, video, animation and experimental documentary.  She was series producer for two full seasons at Alive TV including the eleven country co-production, Still/Here, a Cable Ace award nominee in 1996. In addition, she oversaw acquisitions, new program development and created the Alive TV web site. In 1998, Esther co-founded Wavelength Releasing, a company formed specifically to address new forms of content production, distribution, and exhibition. Wavelength Releasing partnered with esteemed companies such as CYBERSTAR (a division of LORAL), Texas Instruments, The Independent Film Channel, and others. Its projects were profiled in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Variety, on CNN financial News and over 100 other print and media outlets. Wavelength Releasing was responsible for the first fully digital film release, executed via satellite to five cities in October 1998.  It was also responsible for the highly successful multi-platform release of The Last Broadcast - the first ever desktop feature - a $900 movie that went on to gross over a million US. dollars internationally. Wavelength Releasing served as a new media consultant for the 1999 Sundance Film Festival. Concurrently in 1998, Esther produced the feature documentary HomePage with acclaimed filmmaker Doug Block, which screened in competition at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival, Rotterdam Film Festival, SXSW, and more.  It also aired domestically on HBO/CINEMAX and ZDF/ARTE in Europe, and over a dozen countries internationally. In addition to ArtHome, Esther is also finishing her first film: The Danny Williams Story (working title).  This feature-length documentary chronicles her search to uncover the facts surrounding the mysterious 1966 disappearance of her uncle, Danny Williams and her discovery of 20 never-before-seen films made by her uncle while at the Warhol Factory.

Invention Session #3: Chez Bushwick
Artist or Cultural Entrepreneur?
Thursday, October 9, 2008, 8:30-10pm
Chez Bushwick
 
RSVP for this event is now closed.  Thank you to those who RSVP'd in advance.
WALK UPS ARE WELCOME on a first-come-first-served basis...so please join us!

In any economy, being a professional artist really means that you are on a path to one of three possibilities: (1) get hired by an established artist or company, (2) be a pickup artist (i.e. self-employed freelancer), or (3) start your own company.  In all of these cases, you are an entrepreneur with an emerging micro-enterprise – your art.  And as the term entrepreneur implies, you have to be willing to take full risk and reward for your new enterprise.  However, it seems that we often shy away from taking our work as seriously as we could to optimize our success.  Instead of thinking of it as “selling out”, is there a way to buy in?  Can we learn to get organized, plan our businesses, and think about our growth, audiences, finances and work as the entrepreneurial enterprises that they are? Are there tools we can learn to use that might guarantee a higher probability of success, sustainability and aesthetic risk taking? Is there a way to be both pragmatic and artistic?

Join The Field and Chez Bushwick in a lively discussion with working artists and social/cultural entrepreneurs about entrepreneurship, and how you can appropriate these skills and ideas for your own business.  Learn about The Field’s Economic Revitalization for Performing Artists (ERPA) project and how you can apply to participate in ERPA.
