Arts Involvement Narrows Student Achievement Gap A new NEA study finds disadvantaged students do better academically if they are intensely involved in the arts. Tom Jacobs, Miller-McCune, 29 March 2012
UNITED STATES - "Students from the lower end of the socioeconomic ladder tend to do less well in school than those from more upscale families. But newly published research identifies one sub-group of these youngsters who tend to exceed expectations: those who participate heavily in the arts. "At-risk teenagers or young adults with a history of intensive arts experiences show achievement levels closer to, and in some cases exceeding, the levels shown by the general population studied," a team of scholars writes in a new National Endowment for the Arts Research Report. "These findings suggest that in-school or extracurricular programs offering deep arts involvement may help to narrow the gap in achievement levels among youth."

The First Step in a New Cultural Plan Zachary Johnson, Sixty Inches From Center, Apr 02, 2012
CHICAGO, IL - "This article is first in a new effort by the Chicago Arts Archive to cover the development of the 2012 Chicago Cultural Plan as well as the legacy of the previous 1986 plan. In the coming weeks and months we will be publishing articles on the 2012 planning process and the successes and failures of the 1986 plan. In 1986, the residents and city government of Chicago took a good, hard look at the state of its cultural life. At that point in time there was no Chicago Cultural Center, and the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) was only two years old. Mayor Harold Washington wanted to know what the city needed to create a robust, vibrant arts community. What was best for Chicago’s culture? Where were things needed most? He asked his questions not of the city council or the DCA, but of the city’s residents themselves — ten thousand residents, to be precise. Over 300 meetings, they demonstrated again and again their need and love for the arts. Their outcry was loud and unprecedented. Now, twenty-six years later, Mayor Rahm Emanuel seeks that response from today’s Chicagoans. And so all this winter and spring he has been asking, “What should the future be of culture in Chicago?” For this he has hired Lord Cultural Resources, experts in cultural planning headquartered in New York. Lord seeks to uphold the spirit of the 1986 plan and to that end has begun the planning process by holding four large-scale town hall meetings, followed by 19 neighborhood meetings. On February 21, I attended the fourth at the Mexican Fine Art Museum in Pilsen."

ENGLAND - "It's staggering how much money the government pumps into science and technology each year with the explicit aim of supporting innovation.

MTV's New Art Spots Have Potential to Reach 600M Viewers Hrag Vartanian, Hyperallergic, March 30, 2012
UNITED STATES - "Remember the 1980s when MTV helped define Western youth culture? Remember when the music video channel had a sense of the unexpected and was brimming with creative energy? President of MTV Stephen Friedman, in an interview with Hyperallergic, says he wants to rekindle the "visual playground" that was part of the appeal and thrill of those years. As part of the channel’s goal to look past Gen X, who have aged out of MTV, to the Millenials, who are the biggest generation in history, the network is overhauling their image by infusing the channel with some edgier elements and re-introducing it to an audience which is almost impossible to impress. Enter the Art Break spots, which was born out of a collaboration by MTV, MoMA PS1 and Creative Time."
