Welcome

THE EVOLUTION OF AN ARTS COUNCIL 
Many of our readers may recall being part of the Portland metro area’s first cultural planning process, Arts Plan 2000, which led to the creation of the Regional Arts & Culture Council in 1995. Even in those early years, with a modest budget of $3 million, RACC’s grantmaking programs, public art projects, and technical assistance services played an important role in supporting the artists and creatives who helped forge our region’s identity as a center for creativity and innovation.

Since then, the tri-county population has grown by nearly half a million, and RACC’s programs and services have expanded as well. Thousands have participated in our workplace giving campaigns, which debuted in 2006, raising over $8.5 million to support our region’s nonprofit arts and culture organizations. In 2012, 62% of Portland voters approved the Arts Education & Access Income Tax, which now generates more than $7 million every year for grade schools to hire art and music teachers, and more than $3 million annually for RACC to expand people’s access to culture and the arts through grants. Nearly 30,000 K-8 students currently participate in RACC’s arts integration program, The Right Brain Initiative, and are scoring better on reading, math, and English tests than when we first began in 2008.

Each and every one of us at RACC is dedicated to celebrating and supporting the essential role of artists, arts organizations, and arts educators in our community, and we are working to ensure that every resident has access to culture and creative expression. We are bringing new voices to the table and expanding our commitment to historically underrepresented communities, with new programs like Fresh Paint, Art and Power, and our Capacity Building Initiative for culturally specific organizations. There is still much to do, including the need to unlock more resources for this important work, but we are well positioned to reach new heights with the arrival of our new Executive Director, Madison Cario, in January 2019.

As we prepare for a year of tremendous excitement and bold visioning under new leadership, we are grateful to all who have built RACC’s strong foundation and contributed to many noteworthy accomplishments in 2018. We hope you’ll take a few moments to reflect on these accomplishments in the form of this annual report, and for those who are eager to help us write the next chapter, we welcome your wisdom and your wishes, your questions and your concerns going forward. Please give us a call at 503-823-5258 or email us at thefuture@racc.org anytime.

From all of us at the Regional Arts & Culture Council, thank you for a remarkable 2018 and best wishes for a bright and bountiful New Year.

 

With gratitude,

Jeff Hawthorne, Interim Executive Director
Linda McGeady, Board Chair

A NOTE FROM RACC’S NEW LEADERSHIP 
Weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting Portland and I was, once again, reminded of the rich diversity, wild talent, innovative spirit and intellectual prowess that thrives across the region. I got to spend some time with the talented team at RACC, I found a place to live and I began my journey of experiencing the Portland arts and culture scene. From getting lost in Powell’s Books to enjoying the shenanigans at the Rose City Rollers’ fundraiser and Portland Center Stage’s Twist Your Dickens, from walks along the beautiful post-industrial riverfront waiting for the Christmas Ships Parade to wandering the Central Eastside with Travel Portland’s mural map clutched tightly in hand; I could feel the energy, the connectivity, the magic and the potential.

It’s been a whirlwind month for me, for my team here in Atlanta and for everyone at RACC. Straddling two time zones, I’m moving at a furious pace, closing chapters and saying bittersweet goodbyes in Atlanta while sketching plans, making visits, and dreaming big in and about Portland.

For me this is more than just a job or the next step in my career — it’s a chance to serve. I’m ready to dive in and strengthen the future of arts, culture, and creativity in our entire region. For me, there is no greater honor than to serve working artists and makers on a daily basis, to help broaden their reach and celebrate and sustain their impact.

My hope for the future is to see the Greater Portland region become the place where even more people are invited in to creativity and culture, and where newbie makers, experienced artists, technology specialists, and creative thinkers work together to build infrastructure and create connections across and among communities. To that end, I plan on spending my first 100 days as RACC’s Executive Director meeting with artists, creatives, and community members. Hopes and dreams don’t just manifest on their own we have to meaningfully engage with the community for them to come to fruition, and I can’t wait to listen, learn, and dream big with all of you. If you have suggestions, please send them to thefuture@racc.org, and let’s get started!

Highlights: Year In Review

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Authentic relationships are central to ensuring our arts and culture reflect the diversity of those who create, enjoy, support, challenge, and reimagine art. We strive to foster authentic connections and improve our services to create equitable access to RACC’s programs and resources.

In 2017, RACC launched its new community engagement plan prioritizing authentic engagement and building partnerships with historically underserved communities. This plan set the stage for a number of new ways to intentionally include and uplift artists from historically underserved communities.

Our Art & Power conversation series debuted in 2018, centering the experiences of artists from historically underserved communities, touching on topics including cultural appropriation, code-switching, and activism. In its pilot year, the series featured 15 artists of color in 5 different forums. Also for the first time, we partnered with the Hispanic Metropolitan Chamber (HMC) and UNA Gallery for “Latinidades” – an art show and exhibit at the HMC downtown office. Curated by UNA Gallery, the exhibit opened in August 2018 featuring 11 Latinx artists throughout the Portland Metro region, and opened to a warm welcome by community members and artists alike.

WORKPLACE GIVING 
The arts enrich our lives, spark creativity, and build connections in communities, and we envision a region where every individual can easily support the artists and arts organizations they value.

In 2017-18, RACC raised $660,263 for arts and culture organizations through Work for Art, its annual workplace giving campaign. More than 1,300 donors contributed to the campaign from workplaces across the Portland/Vancouver metro region.  Proceeds are distributed as grants and donor-directed gifts, benefitting more than 130 arts and culture organizations annually. Portland General Electric was the top Campaign for the seventh year in a row. The Standard, NW Natural, State of Oregon, ZGF Architects, OHSU, City of Portland, Multnomah County, Perkins & Co, and individual giving rounded out the top 10 campaigns. We brought local artists receiving funds from Work for Art with us to campaign events to showcase their work in the community, including members of Echo Theater Company’s Zig Zags youth ensemble, electric celloist and teaching artist Gideon Freudmann, and the traditional Ghanaian dance and music group Okropong from The Obo Addy Legacy Project.

The end of our 2017-18 campaign also marked the end of matching funds from the City of Portland, as well as the retirement of our Work for Art brand. After months of reimagining what holistic arts advocacy and support could look like, we unveiled the Arts Impact Fund to continue advocating for the arts and culture sector inside workplaces, build deep partnerships, and lift up the artists and arts organizations we fund.

 

 

PUBLIC ART 
Public art should reflect the diversity of our communities and the incredible variety of artistic media produced by it. It is our duty to advocate for artists and care for the public collections that represent them. Along the way, we’re dedicated to creating opportunities for artists to advance their work, to making that work accessible, and encouraging conversations about the role of art and artists in our communities.

In 2018, Gateway, Spring Garden and Ventura Parks, all neighborhoods that did not previously have any public art projects, saw new public art sculptures go up. We are in the thick of commissioning and purchasing artworks for three major public buildings: the Multnomah County Health Department, the Portland Building, and the new Multnomah County Courthouse, processes that will continue into 2019 and beyond. Artist Refik Anadol was selected to create Portland’s first large scale, architecturally integrated media artwork for the Portland Building.

Night Lights continued into its fourth season with artists projecting multimedia works outside onto RACC’s building on First Thursdays during the fall and winter months. Two significant artist residencies are also underway, one with the Humboldt Neighborhood and another with the City of Portland Archives. Both are focused on aspects of the Black Diaspora of Portland.

Within the world of murals, we commissioned 7 murals and entered the second season of our Fresh Paint emerging artists program in collaboration with Open Signal. When it comes to maintaining and rotating artworks in our collection, we rotated 1165 portable artworks throughout 40 City and County buildings, and performed maintenance on 181 pieces.

ARTS EDUCATION 
The arts are critical to student learning, and we envision a community that ensures a rich education in and through the arts for every K-12 student in our region.

RACC’s arts integration program, the Right Brain Initiative, served 29,630 students and 1,754 educators in eight school districts across the tri-county region—Corbett, Gresham-Barlow, Hillsboro, North Clackamas, Oregon Trail, Parkrose, Portland Public, and Reynolds.

2017-18 Right Brain Schools (online map)

In September, Right Brain held its second annual fundraising event, SHIFT: An experiment in fashion design to much energy and success. A big thanks to our presenting sponsor The Standard and other key supporters for helping us raise almost $48,000.

2018 SHIFT Committee Members

RACC’s arts education program offers year-round professional development to build skills of classroom teachers, art teachers, arts organization educations, and teaching artists. This year we also held our biennial arts education summer symposium and spring colloquium to further build skills and networks for those working with students.

 

RACC also supports the 72 art, music, and dance teachers funded by the Arts Tax that ensures arts instruction in every Portland elementary school and reaches 38,500 students. We meet annually with superintendents of arts tax funded school districts and, throughout the year, work with district administrators and arts specialists to ensure that the arts are part of every K-12 student’s education. Among the programs that RACC coordinated for higher grade levels, RACC served as the fiscal sponsor for Willesden Read, a story of the Holocaust that teaches the importance of standing up against bigotry and hatred, and fostered an appreciation of the transformative power of music. This collaborative project culminated in a free, live performance of The Children of Willesden Lane by Mona Golabek at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall for 3,000 students in grades 6-12.

 

GRANTS 
Meaningful support for arts and culture means funding, skills-building, and resources that build capacity for artists, arts organizations, and artistic projects. Through this range of support, we also work to enable community access to arts, culture, and creativity in the region.

For the 2017-18 fiscal year, we awarded $3.9 million to artists and nonprofit organizations in the Multnomah, Clackamas, and Washington Counties. This translated to 334 grants to 162 organizations and 158 individual artists through our Professional Development, Project, General Operating Support, and Fellowship grant programs. Additionally, thanks to a special disbursement of the Arts Education and Access Funds dollars, we distributed a one-time allocation of $3.3 million to RACC’s Project Grant, Equity Investments, and Capacity Building programs and General Operating Support partner organizations in August 2018.

Grants Awarded to Artists, Arts Organizations, and Artistic Projects

The grants team also coordinated a variety of other programs to support artists and organizations, including professional development artist workshops, the Art of the Leadership board development program, and the Cultural Leadership Program.
