"Artist-Museum Partnership Act Introduced in Congress

The Artist-Museum Partnership Act of 2009, legislation introduced in both houses of Congress, would allow a fair-market-value tax deduction for charitable contributions of literary, musical, artistic, or scholarly compositions to collecting institutions such as museums, libraries, and archives. At present, a donating artist, writer, or composer can only deduct the cost of materials used to create the work, which is not a fair incentive to donate and also hurts the missions of public and nonprofit institutions nationwide to increase public access to these unique creations.

The sponsors of the bill—Senators Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Robert Bennett (R-UT) for S 405 and Representatives John Lewis (D-GA) and Todd Platts (R-PA) for HR 1126—hope that past enthusiasm for such legislation will grow in the current 111th Congress. Although similar Senate bills have passed five times in previous years, the House version of the bill in the 110th Congress had 111 cosponsors. Now that a new Congress is underway, more cosponsors are needed to help advance the bill.

The American Association of Museums has worked with the Association of Art Museum Directors to provide a draft letter that you can use to encourage your federal lawmakers to cosponsor the bill. With your help, this important legislation for both artists and institutions can move forward." (posted by Linda Downs on the CAA website under Headlines April 22nd.)

APPLICATIONS FOR THE FRANKLIN FURNACE FUND (INTERNATIONAL CALL):

Announcing The Franklin Furnace Fund, supported by Jerome Foundation and the

Starry Night Fund of Tides Foundation. Applications are being accepted from

now through the postmark deadline of May 1, 2009.

Each year Franklin Furnace awards grants to emerging artists, allowing them

to produce major works in New York. Works may engage the Internet as an art

medium and/or venue. Grants may range between $2,000 and $10,000. Artists

from all areas of the world are encouraged to apply; full-time students are

ineligible.

Franklin Furnace has no curator; each year a new panel of artists reviews

all proposals. We believe that this peer panel system allows all kinds of

artists from all over the world an equal shot at presenting their work.

Every year the panel changes, as do the definitions of 'emerging artist',

'performance art' and 'variable media art'. So if at first you don't

succeed, please try again.

Since its inception in 1985 THE FRANKLIN FURNACE FUND has boosted the

careers of such emerging artists as Tanya Barfield, Patty Chang, Papo Colo,

Brody Condon, Karen Finley, John Fleck, Kate Gilmore, Murray Hill, Holly

Hughes, Mouchette, William Pope.L, Pamela Sneed, Jack Waters, Cathy Weis,

and Ricardo Miranda Zuniga.

Cecelia Kane, Brave Hearts in the City Number 2, acrylic and oil stick

Cecelia Kane, Brave Hearts in the City Number 3, acrylic and oil stick

Cecelia Kane, Brave Heart Bloodflow, embroidery

Artist's Statement:

"Brave Hearts in the City are acrylic and oil stick paintings and embroideries exploring the desire for more courage (hearts) in the face of fear (staring eyes). They are part of the Harlequin Hearts series I started at the Hambidge Center in Rabun Gap, GA in November during a month-long retreat. Here are three pictures in chronological order. Number 1 is a study, numbers 2 and 3 are influenced by that painting. The fourth picture is one of the embroideries."

New Work by Mona Waterhouse

Artist's Statement:
"In this new work I am continuing my series about life, which started with seeds and pods eight years ago. I am now interested in exploring water, one of the most essential ingredients of life.

In the triptych “Flow - Isle of Wight”, my first work concerning water, I used images taken with my digital camera on a recent trip there. I was intrigued by the marks and range of color the ocean waters left behind on the walls and steps along its beaches.

The photographs were then printed on hand made paper using my printer and encaustic was added. I strived for a veiled and flowing impression of the patterns made by the repeated movement of the tide.

I am continuing to explore all aspects of water, its beauty, importance, draught, flooding, women’s role and water, shortage of water and world politics and water." © Mona Waterhouse
