Co-presented Event: Art and Sustainable Cities, discussion hosted by Seattle Art Museum

Submitted by saraneppl on Mon, 08/24/2009 - 9:40am

Pack your lunch on Thursday and check out this fantastic event hosted by Seattle Art Museum. I can't wait to hear what this outstanding panel has to say! I've never considered myself "in" with the art scene in Seattle (what does that even mean?) but I've been quietly watching the work of the Free Sheep Foundation for awhile, and hearing great things about the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center. Additionally, from CityClub experience, I know Michael Kinsley is fantastic in these kinds of panel/moderator discussions.

Free and open to the public! RSVP info is below.

Art and Sustainable Cities: A Dialogue
August 27, 2009
11:30 am–1 pm
Olympic Sculpture Park, PACCAR Pavilion

Introduction:
Maryann Jordan, Interim Director, Seattle Art Museum
Moderator:
Michael Kinsley, American political journalist
Panelists:
Randy Engstrom, Founding Director, Youngstown Cultural Arts Center
D.K. Pan and NKO, Founders, Free Sheep Foundation
Buster Simpson, Northwest artist
Beth Takekawa, Executive Director, Wing Luke Asian Museum
Closing Remarks:
Gene Duvernoy, President, Cascade Land Conservancy

SAM and the Cascade Land Conservancy present the next panel discussion exploring the intersection of art, culture and the environment. Can steps be taken to ensure that revitalization and increased density are beneficial for both the arts and artists? How can we avoid artists being pushed out of our cities by rising prices? What roles do diversity and equity play in building vibrant, sustainable cities? Join us as we consider these and other questions.

“Art and Sustainable Cities: A Dialogue” is part of SAM’s Pivotal Perspectives series. Bringing together some of the most compelling thinkers on a given cultural subject, Pivotal Perspectives is a timely and innovative forum that addresses pressing issues in art and society.

Free and open to the public. To reserve your space, please email
boxoffice@seattleartmuseum.org or call the SAM Box Office at 206.654.3121.
Presented with support from the Seattle Office of Arts&Cultural Affairs

"The American public turning out and saying we want our government to work for us."
—Senator Patty Murray in response to a question asking what was most inspiring about this year. 12/12/08 Year in Review

Livable City 2

"We are a city that is starting to understand urban density. It's not just the other guy taking the bus."
--Denny Onslow, Harbor Properties

Hildreth

"The role of print media is going to change. Until reading devices - and the content for those devices - are more readily available and accessible, I don't see print media going away completely."
-- Susan Hildreth, Seattle City Librarian

Paul Farmer

"There's lots of different ways that anybody can contribute. I mentioned the humble task of just serving other people... If you are going to be a medical anthropologist, feel free to contribute to medical anthropology, but there are also other ways to contribute too to that problem and many others, and I would encourage you to keep that in mind. Just because you're a hammer doesn't mean everything is a nail. And just because you're a medical anthropologist doesn't mean you have to only write books."
-- Paul Farmer

Dallas Jessup

"[S]o many adults think that my generation is just full of gamers and slackers and that we're the 'entitlement generation'. We're really not. There is a huge sense, there are thousands of kids out in the world today that are trying to make a difference... they're just afraid that they'll make a fool of themselves. That it won't make a difference. That 'I'm just one kid, what can I do?'"

- Dallas Jessup, National Jefferson Awards Nominee

Nancy Long

"The serious challenge we have, particularly in our community where there's a high rate of volunteerism, is around raising the capacity of our nonprofits to effectively utilize volunteers... A big part of it is volunteer management... We've got some wonderful systems here locally for helping people engage... but what we have to do is make sure that when people show up to engage, that nonprofit has the right kind of training, the right kind of staff in place, the right kind of leadership mentality to really make use of volunteers in a high value way."

- Nancy Long, Executive Director of Executive Service Corps of Washington
