Requested Amount:
Budget Overview
$3700
Breakdown of Expected Budget:
. Mini Grant Program
. Global Village Project
. Website Funds
$3000
$500
$200
Explanation of Projects:
. Our Mini Grant Program's primary goal is to encourage and help facilitate
youth involvement in the community. We plan on giving out one $1000
grant and four grants up to $500 a piece to individuals between the age of 15
and 21. Our intent is for this money to be used to create or fund a
community program, whether it is political, social, or environmental, that
will benefit the city in some fashion. Each individual will go through an
application process and will be expected to give us monthly or quarterly
updates on the progress of their project.
. As a commission, we have already committed ourselves to the Summer of
the Arts program called the Global Village on June 2nd. This program is
focused on teaching children about various countries in a fun, interesting
manner. Our committee has committed to the country of Ghana, and we are
expected to come up with a booth that involves food, arts and crafts,
volunteers, and visual aids. Since they expect over 1,000 children to attend
this event, we are expecting to need a small budget to help pay for the arts
and crafts and food.
. Our commission has several new creative ideas for our current website. One
of our ideas is to create a forum for Iowa City's youth to communicate with
us and other youth in the area. Weare slightly unsure of how much certain
internet services would cost; therefore we are requesting a small budget for
any possible costs that we might run into while working with the website.

Johnson County Local Food Summit
FebruarY 7. 2007
Join us on Wednesday, February 7th
at the Iowa City Public Library,
Room A for the pt Annual Johnson
County Local Food Summit.
This event seeks to harness our
community resources to foster sustainable
food systems for our area.
First, we will welcome you and report
on the JCLFA 2006 activities, including a
brief summary of what we've done. Then,
we'll give you a glimpse of what we have
planned for 2007.
Next, settle in for an informative,
sobering and yet hopeful presentation on
the regional food and farm economy by Ken
Meter, author of the ground-shaking
research piece, Finding Food in Farm
Country. See how the numbers aren't
adding up for agriculture in our region and
what these trends portend for the future.
Then, engage with local decision
makers, businesses, farmers and concerned
citizens who seek to build strong, healthy
food communities. These follow up sessions
will help us assess and harness our
collective resources as we begin creating a
road map toward a better food future.
This summit is free and open to all.
Ken Meter has 36 years of experience in
community capacity bUilding as a
researcher, journalist, educator and
administrator. He taught micro-economics
at Harvard University and agricultural
economics at the University of Minnesota.
Ken was invited to present his pioneering
"Findmg Food m Farm Country," study to

An unprecedented celebration!
The Joffrey Ballet dances river-
to-river to mark Hancher's 35th
anniversary season
During the summer of 2007, the
renowned Joffrey Ballet will
present five free outdoor perfor-
mances across Iowa to cel-
ebrate the 35th anniversary of
Hancher Auditorium.
From an amazing community
effort to replace snowbound
costumes for a performance of
Rodeo in the late '70s to the
commissioning of The Nut-
cracker and Billboards in the
'80s and '90s, Hancher and its
loyal audience have always
enjoyed a singular relationship
with one of the world's finest
ballet companies.
Now, Hancher and the Joffrey
Ballet are partnering to present
this extraordinary anniversary
gift to the state of Iowa. With
stops in Des Moines, Council
Bluffs, Muscatine, Cedar Rapids
and Iowa City, this tour will offer
world-class artistry to everyone.

McMurtry's song writing skills and carefully crafted lyric:
are unique in the current roots-rock and alt-country genres.
His compositions offer insightful commentary into the
human condition, our social fabric, and the current politi.
cal-economic landscape. Listen carefully-he'll make you
smile, he might make you mad, but he sure as heck will
make you think. McMurtry began his song writing and
perfonning career while attending the University of Ari-
zona in the I 980s and released his first critically acclaimed
album Too Long in the Wasteland in 1989. In the years that
followed, he has released seven more albums, culminating
in his two most recent (and stunning) offerings, Live in
Aught-Three (2004) and Childish Things (2005),

While rightfully praised for his extraordinary song writing,
McMurtry is also a gifted (and underrated) guitar player.
He and his long time sidemen, bassist Ronnie Johnson and
drummer Daren Hess, are an incredibly tight band, honed
by years of touring, and by weekly gigs at their home base,
the Continental Club in Austin.
So to make a long story short, come on down to downtown
Iowa City on Friday night, June 2nd, and the Iowa Arts
Festival will whisk you off to Austin for four hours of
unforgettable performances. And that's just the begin-
ning--wait until you see what we've got in store for you on

Combining a singer/songwriter

the Mike and Amy Finders
Band rambles playfully along the fences that define the
bluegrass, blues, old-time country and folk music genres.
Main Srage
Lazy Boy and The Recliners play such a wide
variety of music that they are hard to classify. If there were
a category labeled "contemporary Acoustic-Pop-Folk-
Rock-Turkish" this group would certainly top the list.
Within their repertoire there is something for everyone,
from classic '60s and '70s numbers to songs by contempo-
rary singer-songwriters, from traditional Turkish tunes to
American folk songs, Irish melodies, and bluegrass, from
Van Morrison and the Beatles to the edgy rock and tradi.
tional ballads of Richard Thompson. Through it all there's
only one rule--everyone has to have a good time.

9:00pm Nickel Creek
Main Stage
The three members
that make up Nickel
Creek have been
playing together
since 1989 and have
had continuous sue
cess over the years.
They won a Grammy
for their second
album This Side
and have received
numerous Grammy nominations for their work. Their latesl
album Why Should the Fire Die? shows that Nickel Creek
are like any other band-any other band who manage to
write. play. and sing a commanding album. It is their third
collection for Sugar Hill Records. following 2002's This
Side and 2000's eponymous debut. It was recorded in Los
Angeles with producers Eric Valentine (who has overseen
projects for Smashmouth and Queens of the Stone Age) and
Tony Berg. Although the music bursts with contemporary
nerve, the recording sessions drew on the timeless power of
classic analog equipment, vintage reverb, and single-stereo
microphones. The result is a new, hard to ignore Nickel
Creek who fuse and personalize a wide array of styles with
uncommon vigor and elan.

7:00pm
Main Stage
From her first recorded appearance as a lead vocalist with
the celebrated traditional Celtic group DeDanaan in 1981,
to her tenth and latest solo disc, DOII't I Know, O'Connell
has married an unmistakable deep, rich, flexible voice
and her signature talent for finding what's most potent
in the work of a select but broad array of genre-jumping
songwriters, to pull the listener right along with her--to the
heart of a song. The songs Maura O'Connell renders so
affectingly vary across genres, from occasionaltoncs of old
Ireland to sparkling new jaz.z or pop, from revisited classics
by Van Morrison or Lennon and McCartney to songs of
new American songwriters. There is at
least one recognizable pattern in most
all of them -- lyrics that set the stage
for the song, laying down a context, in
surroundings, or mood, or the passing
of timc, then hone in on a very specific
vignette of love and life. Along Ihe
way, she has earned a Grammy Award
nomination and multi-platinum sales
success in her native Ireland.

Main Stage
Ben Lee's first album, Grandpaw
Would, was produced by Brad Wood
and released in 1994 on the Beastie
Boys' Grand Royal label, except in
Ben's native Australia where it was
released on Fellaheen. Much touring
ensued (and continues to this day)
with an illustrious and varied number
of staunch supporters - Ben Harper,
Jack Johnson, Rufus Wainwright and Fugazi among many
others. A second album, Something To Remember Me By
('97), was a mostly acoustic affair that accentuated Ben's
salient writing ability. With '99's Breathing Tornados, Ben
was first heard in full-flower: potent songs with electronic
riffs and catchy choruses (and a platinum album in Aus-
tralia). The adventurous, beats-heavy hey you. yes you was
produced by Dan The Automator and was released in 2003.
Never one to sit still, Ben's many tangents include duets
with Kylie Minogue; writing key songs for Evan Dando's
2003 album, Baby I'm Bored; a collaboration with Ben
Kweller and Ben Folds under the name 'The Bens' which
begat both live shows and a stunning 4-song E.P.; estab-
lishing his own label imprint, Ten Fingers, for not only
his own projects but work by others such as Montreal's
beloved pop combo Pony Up!; and, in 2003, Ben made
his feature film debut in the title role of Placid Lake in the
Australian comedy, The Rage In Placid Lake, alongside
Rose Byrne and Miranda Richardson.

Bluegrass Band
Maia Stage
The Burlington Street II'"
Bluegrass Band begani' -:", < ,-;'
with a loosely structured,
weekday house-band gig at
the Mill in Iowa City. The
players admired each others
work and wanted an opportunity to play together more
regularly. After a couple of years of playing this way, thei
little secret is starting to get out. With about two hundred
years of professional experience between them, the band is
a collection of some of Iowa's most treasured musicians.
Featuring Dale Thomas on dobro, Alan Murphy on fiddle,
Bob Black on banjo, Aleta Murphy on standup guitar, Joe
Peterson on mandolin, and Mike Finders on guitar, the
band has found lime between their own individual projects
and is now writing a new chapter of Midwestern musical
history. They play bluegrass and country music straight-up,
with hot pickin', harmonizing, and good humor.

Iowan William Elliot Whitmore will stomp his boot and
scratch at the banjo but what will really get you is that
voice. It seems impossible that a voice with so much
soul, history and rasp could come from such a young
man. "This is American folk music stripped to its basics
but freed of any stultifying reverence. Whitmore writes
originals which sound timeless in a voice which doesn't fit
his comparative youth." - WIRE

Why donate to Summer of the Arts?
Summer of the Arts benefits the Iowa City area in many important ways:
I. Building community: Summer provides us a short window of time to gather together as a community and enjoy the beautiful
warm weather. Summer of the Arts creates a common purpose for our community to come together: to enjoy FREE
cultural programming. From the groups of individuals with special heeds who attend each Friday Night Concert Series
to dancing college students, we are all there. Families. Senior Citizens, people who speak many different languages, Muslim
women wearing hijab. children wearing their swimsuits- all of Iowa City is invited to celebrate and enjoy as a community!
2. Attracting visitors to our greot city: A visitor from Austin said of The Saturday Night Free Movie Series, "Every town should
have this! This is what makes a city great!" All SotA events attract people to our great city and show off our most creative.
innovative and interesting side. Our events make the difference between a nice visit to Iowa City and an inspiring one that
visitors will talk about when they return home.
3. Fostering the appreciation of arts and culture: By placing our programming on the streets it becomes a part of our environment.
Summer in Iowa City is music wafting down the sidewalks, film projected onto the sides of buildings and paintings where
cars are usually parked. Opportunities to appreciate the arts abound. The abundance of artS and culture in our public
spaces makes a statement that arts are for everyone.
4. Promoting the exploration and appreciation of diversity: Iowa City is a diverse community and it is part of mission to not only
attract diverse segments of our population to our programming. but to showcase the artistic and cultural accomplishments
of our diverse world.
5. Providing entertainment without obstacles: Our events are FREE, they take place outdoors and are handicap accessible. There is
no building to enter. no barrier to keep anyone from attending our events. We market our events to the public at large and
provide diverse programming to attract as many different segments of our population as possible.
6. An environment of family friendly aaivities: All of our programming is family friendly meaning that language and content is
appropriate for all ages,
7. Benefiting Local Performers: We showcase the best local talent each summer on 7 stages through over 100 shows. This is
an incredible opportunity for local performers to showcase their talent for our community and visitors to the area.AII
talent is paid for their performance and a Spot on a SotA stage is competitive, coveted and a great resume builder for local
performers. We are creating an atmosphere of support for local performers by exposing them to a more diverse audience
than one would normally find playing other venues. By showcasing local talent alongside national and international talent we
are saying that our local performers are world class!
8. Economic impact on Iowa City: A National Endowment for the Arts statistic states that for every dollar arts and cultural
venues spend $18 is generated in the local economy. In our case this would mean that we are generating $5.4 million dollars
locally. It is our belief that our commitment to local contractors, performers and services increases this amount as more of
our dollars continue to stay local.
9. Training feaders and promoting service: We are a volunteer organization and have made it our mission to create and maintain
a premier volunteer program as the engine for this organization, By creating interesting, adaptable and diverse volunteer
positions we are able to engage a large volunteer force. In addition, many of our volunteer positions are unique in that there
are opportunities for people with special needs, senior citizens, children. diverse people and opportunities for families to
volunteer together. Our volunteers today are our leaders tomorrow!
10. The City of Iowa City is the Title Sponsor: Our programming is meant to serve as source of pride for the inhabitants of this city.
our city employees and elected officials. The continuing funding of Summer of the Arts at the $50,000 level by The City of
Iowa City will mean that they continue to be the Title Sponsor of Summer of the Arts, Branding the summer as "The City
of Iowa City's Summer of the Arts" gives aI/Iowa City inhabitants a sense of ownership of our programming and like your
contribution. continues to challenge the community to playa role in the future of this, their Summer of the Arts!
