Dear Arts Supporters,
Many of you have reached out to inquire about the importance of national funding to the arts in Oregon. We’d like to take this opportunity to share information on how national and state funding partner to support arts organizations and artists across the state.
We know that funding of arts and culture in Oregon is comprised of many sources of revenue including public, private, individual and corporate giving. It’s safe to say, however, that without public support many arts organizations would be in jeopardy.
All arts organizations applying for FY2018 Operating Support grants, including Arts Services applicants, are required to complete a customized ‘Funder Report’ via DataArts at http://culturaldata.org/. The DataArts Funder Report replaces most of the financial and non-financial data traditionally collected in the Operating Support application and Final Report.

The performance is part of Third Culture Conversations and Projects, a cross-discipline program placing artists into collaborative situations with the leading researchers housed at the LISB.

Painter Daniel Robinson of Fossil, Oregon, will exhibit “Close to Home” in the Governor’s Office at the Salem Capitol Building from Sept. 16 to Nov. 11. “Close to Home” presents large-scale oil paintings of rural Oregon landscapes—both natural and those affected by human presence. While depicting contemporary views of rural Oregon, Robinson’s paintings harken to the social realism of the 1920s and 1930s when artists depicted the everyday life of the American working class.
