Today Michigan constituents had an opportunity to meet with Representative Levin (D-MI) from the 9th district and his staffer Janae Washington who is his legislative correspondent on arts, culture and religion. We were also joined by Michigan’s state captain Deb Polich, our professor at Eastern Michigan University, Susan Badger Booth, and other community members. We started the meeting off with Deb providing data and facts about the arts and culture sector to Janae, focusing on the economic impact it has. Some of these included the fact that it's a $919.7 billion dollar industry, it contributes 4.3% to the GDP, and it employs 5.2 million Americans. Once Representative Levin joined the Zoom call, Deb greeted him and we jumped right in starting with me. Going into this meeting, I thought that Representative Levin was not a huge supporter of the arts. He received a C from the 2020 Congressional Report Card by the Arts Action Fund, which is neither good nor bad. I thought that I would have to advocate hard for the arts and culture sector; however, I was pleasantly surprised that this was actually not the case. Representative Levin is a huge supporter of arts in education. He was a jazz DJ at Williams College and his wife is a musician and his children, specifically his daughter Molly, are involved in the arts at their schools. Representative Levin said that the arts in the K-12 schools are really close to his heart, and I am surprised and glad that he feels this way. I personally talked about my experiences with my high school choir program and how they have shaped me into the person that I am today. Without them, I would not be the same person, which is why I asked Representative Levin to continue to support arts in education which he said he will gladly continue to do so. Deb Polich then jumped in and brought up the fact that COVID relief funding is not making its way down to arts organizations because a lot of people don’t see it as an industry. They don’t think of arts nonprofits and other cultural organizations as businesses in need of funding. While we know that’s not true, it was important to bring this up to Representative Levin so that we can change this narrative. The other reason why arts organizations are being overlooked is because we don’t have a seat at the table. There’s no Secretary of Arts and Culture; many people working in government agencies aren’t artists, so they don’t understand the importance of recognizing the arts and culture sectors. We hope that Representative Levin agrees with us and will help support the expansion of arts and culture. Susan Badger Booth wrapped up the meeting by mentioning the fact that the Shutter Venues Operating Grant (SVOG) formerly known as Save Our Stages, received $16 billion in relief funds, and while we are all incredibly grateful for this, there is more work that needs to be done. The comparison was made between that large amount of money and the funding that the National Endowment for the Arts receives each year. The NEA, which has been operating for around 60 years, has, in total, received about half the amount of money that the SVOG is giving out. While this is a pretty bleak fact, the hope is that funding will continue to increase and the arts and culture sector will be taken more seriously. Representative Levin had a speech to make on the floor of Congress, so we wrapped things up pretty quickly. It was great to meet him and we hope that he will continue to support the arts and join the Congressional Arts Caucus and other arts related subcommittees. Thank you again, Representative Levin!

Congressman Jack Bergman is the representative for Michigan’s First Congressional District. That district includes the entire Upper Peninsula and the upper part of the Lower Peninsula. Today, I, along with 8 other arts advocates, had the pleasure of meeting with Representative Bergman to discuss arts advocacy. I believe I was the only member from the Upper Peninsula on the call so I was glad I could be there to represent my community. Deb Polich, our State Captain, gave an introduction about how important the arts and creative industries are very important to Michigan’s economy, but the nation’s economy as well. According to the Bureau of Economics, arts and creative industries accounts for $15.4 billion in Michigan. That number certainly made me pay attention. After introductions from all of those attending the meeting, the Congressman shared that he was a 3-sport athlete in high school. He said that what contributed to his success in these sports was his involvement in the percussion section in the school band. This surprised me because I did research on Rep. Bergman before this meeting and couldn’t find anything relating him to the arts, including when it came to voting on bills. I was happy to hear, though, that Rep. Bergman did have a tie to the arts. While he was sharing this, Rep. Bergman smiled as he recalled the memories. He went on to share that we have his support, but he really wants to focus on the youth. Arts in education is a huge issue on many people’s radar so I was very happy, and surprised, to learn about Rep. Bergman’s passion for this issue. If local, small arts centers and organizations are given the funding to provide programs for the youth, the impact would be astronomical. My local arts center has so much to do with who I am as an artist today so I understand the impact these organizations can have. Rep. Bergman put an emphasis on “off-season programs,” meaning arts programs in the winter. I liked this idea because, reflecting on my own artistic experiences, many artistic events take place in the fall, spring and summer. Winters’ especially in Michigan, can be extremely difficult and can make traveling to classes or events very challenging. It made me wonder what kind of programs Rep. Bergman had in mind for those off-season months. Time was running very short in the meeting so we ended by asking Rep. Bergman to join the National Arts Caucus and to look out for bills that help artists and creative jobs. While I wasn’t able to share a personal story, I was very happy to be present at the meeting. Knowing that Rep. Bergman has an interest in arts education and knowing how the arts have affected me, I felt like my presence there was almost proof on how strong the arts can affect a young person. In my introduction, I shared what I’m studying and also what I plan to do in the future, both of which are all arts related. I left the meeting feeling hopeful, not only for myself, but hoping that the small group of us made some sort of impact with Rep. Bergman. I look forward to seeing the work he does in the future.

I was thrilled to be able to meet with a staff member from the Office of Rep. Lisa McClain with some of my fellow advocates today via Zoom. Rep. McClain represents District 10, which is where my hometown Cass City, Michigan is located. While Rep. McClain was not able to join us at the meeting, we had the opportunity to speak with Nick Seelinger, Legislative Assistant for the 10th District. I felt myself breathe a sigh of relief when Nick spoke to his own experiences growing up in a rural community in Missouri and how he knew what the power of the arts can do for communities, especially in rural areas. There was also something really special about talking to someone from my generation. It felt really easy to relate to Nick and to speak comfortably with him. The biggest opportunity for learning in this session for me was watching the masterful crafting of words and figures by Deb Polich our state captain, my professor Susan Badger Booth, Jeremy Peters (Wayne State professor and music producer), and Hannah Baiardi (a freelance artist and colleague of Deb’s). Each of these individuals presented strong arguments towards supporting the arts, and really took into consideration Rep. McClain’s interests in the military and in the economy. Taking the lead from my fellow advocates, I was happy to share my thoughts and calls to action for Rep. McClain to support the National Endowment for the Arts. I was also happy to share a little bit about the current work that I am doing in my hometown, though I do wish I would have gone a bit further in my introduction. I definitely had a slight moment of stage fright and didn’t finish my prepared remarks, because I felt like I had been talking for quite some time. Although, I’m happy I had a chance to speak. If I were able to do this again, I would speak more about my personal experiences and how I want to return to Cass City because of my love for the community. I plan to follow up with Nick and Rep. McClain’s office not only to thank them for their time, but to also keep them informed about the work I am doing in Cass City. I also look forward to advocating for Rep. McClain to join some key arts committees. This was quite an exhilarating experience and something I can see myself continuing to do, especially with my district 10 congressperson!

Today, Michigan representatives and constituents of Grand Rapids met with Representative Peter Meijer (R, MI-3) to discuss developments in the arts and culture sector over the last year. A small group was warmly welcomed by Meijer and his legislative director Maggie Woodin. Participants in the meeting were visibly excited by the presence of Meijer, as many of the meetings this week have been with aides and assistants. He entered with a genuine interest and respect for our work, ready to engage in the conversation. Rep Meijer comes from a military background, delaying college out of high school he enlisted in the Army reserves and deployed to Iraq as a non-commissioned officer, serving with an intelligence unit at joint US-Iraqi bases in the Baghdad area After returning from deployment he completed his studies and earned a BA in anthropology from Columbia University and a MBA for New York University. In addition, the Congressman completed volunteer work through Team Rubicon, a veteran-based disaster response organization where he led humanitarian efforts in South Sudan, New York, Oklahoma, and the Philippines. In all of my research, I was unable to find anything in his background relating to the arts. Fortunately, during the meeting, he shared that he had a brief career as a baritone in his high school choir and discussed his affordable housing opportunities he offers to artists in his hometown. I was surprised, but happy, to hear that he had such a deep appreciation for the artistic community in our city; Grand Rapids is widely known for its arts and culture sector, and it seems that the Representative shares that local passion for the arts and the benefits they can offer. State Captain Deb Polich opened the conversation with a brief overview of the issues that the arts and culture sector are facing at a national level, highlighting the impact that COVID-19 and the subsequent closures have had on the entertainment industry. "We were the first to close and will likely be the last to open." She then invited me, a life-long Grand Rapids resident, to share my experiences and personal stories as a local artist within his jurisdiction. In 2016, Grand Rapids was highlighted by New York Times in their annual article "52 Places to Visit in the United States", largely credited to the biannual ArtPrize festival and competition that brings 440,000 art lovers from around the world to the city. In addition, Grand Rapids is home to several large concert and event spaces, museums, theatres, and more that bring over 1 million visitors to the area each year. Knowing that Representative Meijer hails from the family responsible for one of the largest fine arts exhibits in the city (Frederick Meijer Gardens) I was confident that we would be able to find common ground in our appreciation of creativity. I spoke about the many theatres and nonprofits working out of Grand Rapids that play a major role in the economic value of the city. As a cast member in several local theatres and troupes and a regular attendee of the ArtPrize festival, I shared the impact that I feel the arts and culture sector of Grand Rapids has on the notoriety of the city as a whole. Representative Meijer spoke on the versatility of West Michigan, mentioning that there's a "little bit of everything" in the city and discussing how that has impacted his applications for committees. As a newer member of congress, he is just beginning to evaluate where funds have existed before, how they were previously utilized, and how things have changed with COVID. Meijer also briefly discussed his hope to decrease inequity in COVID relief funding distribution. He hopes to bring strength back into the arts in Grand Rapids while also strengthening other sectors through their overlap. Mary Gillett of Traverse City touched on the fact that art can be a partner in placemaking across many sectors, and that intersection of sectors is crucial to the stability of an economy. Grand Rapids is unique in its massive amount of private funding contributed annually by local entrepreneurs, which can give a false impression that private funding is available in such massive amounts everywhere. State Captain Deb Polich reminded us of this by mentioning the lack of funding in her home county of Washtenaw, where donations and funding opportunities are much less common with smaller amounts offered. Professor Susan Booth of Eastern Michigan University concluded our conversation by mentioning the CREATE act, a talking point from last week's National Arts Action Summit. The bill focuses on the development of SBA technical assistance programs, tax deductions for artists, the creation of an Artists Corps (similar to AmeriCorps), and the expansion of cultural and educational opportunities. She explained the value of treating arts on an equal playing field as other business opportunities, especially in a community like West Michigan and Grand Rapids where arts play such a vital role in the economy. I have a deeply rooted love for Grand Rapids and the artistic community that resides within the city, and having the opportunity to speak with Representative Meijer on behalf of the arts and culture sector was an honor. He mentioned some interest in being involved in artistic events within the city, and I hope to take him up on that as we start to see things open up more in our state. Author: Sidney Anderson, MA candidate in Arts Administration We began this meeting with Sammi Goldsmith, who works for Rep. Haley Stevens, by introducing ourselves and what we would like to advocate for. This was a smaller meeting with only seven people total in the zoom room. Sammi also took time to introduce herself. She grew up in West Bloomfield, Michigan and attended the University of Michigan graduating in 2018. Sammi is the Congresswoman's Legislative Aid and wears many hats by meeting with numerous people in the different advocacy fields. Kathryn's Arts Advocacy Issues Deb, our State Captain, called on Mia and I as voters in this district to talk about our experiences and issues we wanted to advocate for. I had been thinking about my experience with art in Plymouth-Canton. Thinking back to growing up, the one word I could think of was I feel very privileged to have grown up with the amount of experiences around my community that I did. Especially with those I was able to afford and participate in. Not many 7 year olds get to dance on the Cherry Hill Village Theatre stage, not all high schools have 2 full theates, and not all communities have 2 ice skating rinks. I want everyone to be able to experience the arts, so I mentioned the “Arts Education for All” bill written by Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR). Mia's Arts Advocacy Issues As for my advocacy asks, I wanted to focus on arts and higher education. This is very important to me, because I felt like this has affected my life the most and it’s why I want to help other students who have been in my position with. When I started college I didn’t feel comfortable with pursuing a degree in the arts, because of financial reasons and what I felt was a stigma surrounding arts degrees. That’s why I advocated for supporting federal funding for more financial aid for arts students. I also think student debt relief and the PSLF are programs that should be supported and advanced, because many art’s students need their master’s degrees to have a successful career in the arts. Without help they may not be able to afford to do this. And it has been proven that 87% of students who receive their master’s and plan to work in the arts do so, which I think is a very inspiring statistic. Impact Sammi Goldsmith seemed very interested in and engaged with what we had to say. After many of us had spoken, she asked us for the specifics of the bills that we were advocating for. Then she asked for everyone at the meeting to follow up with her. Sammi mentioned she could relate to the stories of being in Metro-Detroit and having such lively artistic culture around her. She also stated that the Congresswoman will most likely be in support of what we are asking for, especially since she is already a member of the Arts Caucus and has always been a big proponent of legislation that support student debt relief.

Today members of our Michigan delegation met with Devin Parsons, a staff member for Senator Gary Peters (D-MI), to advocate for the arts as part of Arts Advocacy Week. Devin is a Legislative Aide for Sen. Peters who focuses on education, families, health, labor/employment, and social welfare. Originally from Michigan, Devin attended University of Michigan during college and is now based in Washington, DC. While we missed having the chance to connect with Sen. Peters himself, it was lovely having the time to discuss the arts sector with one of his staffers. Personal Stories As always, our marvelous State Captain, Deb Polich, opened the meeting. Each person in attendance did a brief introduction before she delved into the important facts and figures of the arts in Michigan. She shared that the arts contributed $919B to the US economy and $15.4B to the Michigan economy in 2019, as well as 5.2M US jobs, including 122,000 jobs in Michigan. These numbers are more than significant, and prove that the arts sector deserves a "seat at the table" rather than repeatedly being dismissed as an invalid industry. We must be involved in the big discussions moving forward. After Deb's introduction, Daniel Cascardo was asked to share a personal story regarding his struggles with receiving unemployment insurance from the state even after being approved in the system. Daniel told us he had not received any funds since March 2020, and that, had he not been married, he would have likely been "out in the streets" by now. Thankfully, Devin showed empathy for the situation and took down notes to pass it on to Sen. Peters and her constituents who can help address that issue. However, Daniel isn't alone in these struggles. The arts industry was generally the first to close due to the pandemic, and it will likely be the last to reopen, as well. Arts workers need support during these difficult times, and will continue to need it as our industry enters into a time of recovery/rebuilding. Mike Michelon and Mary Gillett also shared stories about their personal experiences, one based in Ann Arbor and the other in Traverse City. Both expressed the need for more support for nonprofit arts organizations, especially during the pandemic when things are not able to operate "as normal." As Mary mentioned, most arts venues in Traverse City and the surrounding area have been visibly shuttered since last year, interrupting the thriving appearance of towns that partially rely on visitors and tourism to drive their local economies. While those venues remain closed, the towns will continue to lose money due to missing out-of-towners who would normally be visiting to support those businesses. Finally, our very own Susan Badger Booth wrapped up our meeting by mentioning the need for continued federal assistance and funding for pandemic recovery. The $16B allotted for shuttered venues is crucial, but more is needed to ensure full recovery for the arts industry. Also, it is important to note that such funding has not kept up with inflation. Over time, while the amount of federal financial support for the arts has increased in dollar signs, it has decreased when compared to the inflation rate. This must change; the arts deserve more considering how much it gives to the economy and community of this country. Today’s meeting with the Michigan 12th Congressional District’s Representative was exciting. We were looking forward to telling her our personal stories about how art has affected our lives and how important it is for communities to have access to the arts. We only had 30 minutes to speak with our Congresswoman, so we had to be clear and yes, brief. Even with the limited time Congresswoman Dingell asked us all to introduce ourselves, she really wanted to hear who we were and and what we cared about. It also helped that she is a long time friend of our State Captain, Deb Polich, because it felt more like a conversation and less like presenting in a class. After introductions, we moved on to stories from some of the advocates. David Daniel, who is an artist, described how he had been out of work since the beginning of the pandemic. He shared his frustration of working through the "gig worker" unemployment insurance process, and described how he would be out on the street if he weren’t married to someone still employed. While he was talking about his issues you could see Congresswoman Dingell’s aid writing down notes. Immediately after David was done talking Dingell assured David that they would look into his situation. This showed us how much she cares about her constituents. Next, Deb Polich, CEO of Creative Washtenaw, reviewed the current economic figures on how the arts impact our local community. Debbie Dingell seemed to be listening, but also seemed a bit distracted with her phone. This was worrisome at first because it didn’t look like she was all that interested in what Deb was talking about. Yet after Deb was done talking it was clear that Congresswoman Dingell not only heard everything she said, but elaborated on certain aspects of how important the arts are to our economic prosperity. The Congresswoman talked about how the arts and culture are the “backbone of communities” and how they enhance our quality of life. She made it clear that she supports the arts, because “it is the right thing to do”. This was a relief and showed that she actually was paying attention to Deb's report. Her biggest message to us was to ask the other Senators and Representatives we talk with this week to co-sponsor the CREATE Act. According to her website the CREATE Act's Key Provisions include:
The Congresswoman also mentioned that the best way to convince these senators and representatives to support this Act is to offer a “face” to these issues by sharing our own personal stories. Her knowledge and willingness to support the arts is appreciated and valued and we want to thank her for not only giving us some of her time today. Thank You Debbie Dingell! Authors: Dante Scott, Caroline Mull, Max Leidlein, & Michael Coss (From left to right) On this cloudy afternoon, twenty-four people met in a Zoom conference to advocate for the arts to US Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and her staff. We missed Senator Stabenow, but her staff came ready and willing to hear us review economic stats, tell our personal stories, and listen to our hopes about the arts in Michigan and the US. All this was tackled within a 30-minute timeframe! Robert Curis and John Donnelly are two members from Stabenow’s Washington DC staff who joined us, and they are responsible for her Arts and Education Portfolio. We were thrilled to also have Kali Fox in attendance, who is a Michigan Regional Manager for Stabenow. Our Americans for the Arts MI State Advocacy Captain Deb Polich (Creative Washtenaw) opened the meeting by sharing important facts and figures from 2019. The arts brought in: $919B to the US economy, $15.4B to the Michigan economy and contributed 122,288 jobs. With the pandemic, seventy percent are now unemployed. The reality is the arts and creative industries were the first to step out of the public sphere and will be the last to return to public spaces. Personal Stories With urging from staffers, we began sharing personal stories and experiences with topics pertinent to our lives. The first topic raised related to the international artist visa process with one of our very own EMU graduate students, Sonimar Maldonado-Alvarado, stepping up to the plate. She asked, “How can we make it easier to bring in artists from other countries?” She pointed out the difficulties of the visa processing system, from long delays to high costs for expedited service. Then Sonimar shared how--even as a US citizen--she personally encountered difficulties when she first came to the US from Puerto Rico to study. She urged the legislative staff to consider supporting the ARTS Act. Wayne State University professor Jeremy Peters agreed with Soni and explained how difficult it can be to bring collaborators into the US, citing Detroit’s Movement and Jazz Festivals as examples. Jeremy also attested that challenges emerge when trying to bring in international artists for touring, which was an issue when he worked at the record label Ghostly International. The conversation then turned to the arts and healthcare. Deb explained that research shows that the arts help stressed patients and their families, decrease hospital stays and assist with well-being. EMU graduate student Sidney Anderson described how customizable arts-based therapies can effectively treat patients. Improv and drama therapy were highlighted. Finally, Debbie Mikula of the Michigan Library Association shared how museums and libraries can revitalize communities and bring economic prosperity. She emphasized that their activities are critical and essential. A Seat at the Table Deb Polich explained that COVID has made the arts recognize that, more than ever, we need to work together. And, when we do, amazing things like the Shuttered Operating Venues Grants can happen. Concerns about the CARES Act funding and its roll out at the state level were also brought up. For example, Michigan received $4.827M in CARES funding for Washtenaw County. Yet only $17,000 made its way to cultural nonprofits and another $230,000 to for profit cultural businesses (totaling only 5.13% of the possible funding). How did this happen? Deb stressed that we really need arts + creative industry experts sitting at the table so we can have proper representation. Stabenow staff conceded the CARES Act funding processes could have been improved. Moving forward there needs to be more Congressional guidelines provided to states on how to improve fund allocation. Robert also provided uplifting information about the Biden/Harris Administration’s American Rescue Plan Act recently signed into law: $135M is allocated to both the NEA and NEH, as well as additional funds for IMLS and shuttered venues. At the meeting’s close, staff members John, Robert and Kali genuinely seemed receptive to our arts advocacy. Deb requested we meet on a more regular basis, and Kali stated she’ll help schedule bi-annual meetings. In the end, amazing stories were shared and Senator Stabenow knows there’s a long line of supporters back in Michigan when she’s ready to pass legislation for the arts. The first speaker of the session was Todd Dupler from The Recording Academy, who covered the foundational information we needed to understand about international visas and the flawed application process. Most notably, there is suppose to be a 14 day turnaround for visa applications, but that date is almost always delayed and extended by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This causes problems for traveling artists and arts organizations as often there are planned events with international artist whose visa have been delayed. Todd also mentioned that there is an option for nonprofits to pay an extra premium for access where the visas is guaranteed within 15 days of submission, but this service costs $2,500; often too expensive for the nonprofit host. As a solution, he referenced the ARTS Act, first introduced by US Senators Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) back in 2018. The ARTS Act seeks to speed up the process of obtaining visas by granting free premium access to nonprofits if the USCIS fails to meet their initial 14 day requirement. With this, it would guarantee that nonprofits receive notification of a visa within 29 days (the initial 14 + the 15 with premium access). While this is still not perfect, it’s an improvement giving nonprofits just enough time to plan their events with international artists. To learn more about the ARTS Act click here. Camille Zamora was the next person to speak. She is a Soprano and the Co-Founder of Sing For Hope, an organization dedicated to bringing music to students in the New York City Public Schools. She shared her experience of the arts and the culture exchange that happens when you bring international artists into a learning community. She mentioned, “the first step to change is imagination.” I would add to this the word bravery. It takes courage to be creative, to dare to imagine, to think outside the box, and to connect to what is different with curiosity. Her presentation was centered around the point of art as a source of strength and unity for all. To end her talk, she presented a preview of a documentary about New York based international artists and their stories. The video clip ends with “Ask, what do you have that I don’t have? Not because I want to take it, but because I want to learn from it.” The arts are a space for all artists to learn from each other, and grow. Cristina Pato followed Camille. She is a Galician bagpipe, pianist, writer and educator. Cristina spoke about how she often lives in between worlds as an immigrant, a new U.S. citizen, a musician and a bilingual speaker. She described how her music connects all of these pieces of herself. By having international artists share their art in America, we learn not only about that artist’s culture, but also how culture is what connects us all. Cristina explained how artists who have visas have a “window to the world.” These visas are the ticket to sharing experiences and creating connections. By advocating for a better visa system we are also advocating for better equity and access for artists to come and share their art. Lester Lynch was the last to speak. He is an artist who shared a personal experience with us during this session. He told a story about his own visa experience when going to Norway this past fall, a country he had gone to many times before. This story was the perfect example of all the things that an artist has to go through just to travel for a performance. In this story Lester told us how he had a show in Norway; got on a plane and made it to Norway, but they would not let him in the country. The reason behind this was a new visa requirement that was created 4 days prior to his arrival, and that would take a month to get approved. He also explained how they offered to let him spend the night in a jail cell, but he chose to catch the next plane back home. It is sad to hear how many artists can’t even consider leaving their country, because the visa procedures are so complicated and expensive. Lester mentioned how visa applications should be taught in music conservatories. He also encouraged us to get vaccinated in order to have in person shows and art events start again. This session and Lynch’s remarks were very much needed. He taught us that not only do we need to think about the artists in America, but also the international artists coming to perform her in the US. One of our classmates remarked how wonderful it was that we looked beyond the US for this last session. For more information on the speakers please click here.
