CALLING THE QUESTION - SPRING 1999

The Center for Arts and Culture presents: CALLING THE QUESTION - SPRING
1999, A series of public programs addressing critical policy issues in
the cultural sector. The Center offers three programs in the spring of
1999 examining The Cultural Sector in the Next Century, followed by three
programs on Globalization and its Impact on Culture in the fall of 1999.
These free events in the National Building Museum are followed by an
informal reception designed to bring together participants and audiences
in an open environment conducive to exploring ideas and exchanging
information.

Thursday, March 18
FEDERAL CULTURAL LEADERSHIP
Recent controversies over federal funding have obscured the broader
challenges facing the cultural sector in the next century. The federal
cultural agencies will continue to play a leadership role in the
nation's cultural policy beyond giving grants. Join Bill Ferris,
Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities; Diane Frankel,
Director of the Institute Museum and Library Services; and Bill Ivey,
Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, with moderator Ellen
McCulloch-Lovell, Director of the White House Millennium Council, as
they discuss future trends in the cultural sector and directions
for the federal cultural agencies to meet the challenges of the next
century.

Tuesday, April 6
THE CREATIVE MIND:ARTISTS AND SCHOLARS AS PUBLIC CITIZENS
What is the unique relationship of the creative mind to American
democracy? Join us for an examination of the reciprocal relationship
between the artist/humanist and society. What is the American view of
individual creativity? Do Americans feel that certain individuals
"speak truth to power" or that they have given themselves undeserved
license? What can we learn from an examination of shifting attitudes
throughout our history? Playwright David Henry Hwang, author of FOB,
M Butterly, and Golden Child, will discuss these issues with cultural
commentators Verlyn Klinkenborg of The New York Times; Nigel Redden,
Director of the Lincoln Center Festival; Mary Schmitt Campbell, Dean of
the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University and former New York
City Commissioner of the Cultural Affairs. These panelists may be joined
by others to be announced.

Monday, May 3
THE 21ST CENTURY: NEW TRENDS IN CULTURAL PHILANTHROPY
In this century, cultural life in the United States has depended heavily
on organized private philanthropy. How will culture fare at a time when
demands on philanthropy are greater and wider than ever, and many expect
an influx of funds from a new generation of donors? What trends are
discernable in individuals giving, private foundations, and corporate
philanthropy? James Allen Smith, Executive Director of the Howard Gilman
Foundation and an authority on the history of American foundations, think
tanks and public policy research, will moderate a panel of experts including
Marian Godfrey, Culture Program Director of the Pew Charitable Trusts
and many others.
