(/~r&ltelt ~ 5-kbj,erft ) 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. .

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.

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), 9:00pm James McMurtry and the Heartless Bastards Friday, 5:00 . 8:00pm United Action for Youth (UAY) Center Opening Reception for June Art Sale 355 Iowa Avenue (between Linn & Gilbert) Everyone welcome.

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.

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. 'I 71 < +>, ,JSB&T''has \,-_'"'' ~:JJeen(v, .,'0> ~ the '$<\';;><;"', ~ 'est ~'1;l 4; . . ~.

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. II .,-,-." ~...

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. Maura O'Connell 8:00pm Downtown Iowa City The Iowa City Gallery Walk is a self-guided walking tou of concurrent art openings at aboul twenty locations in Iowa Cily's Old Capitol Cultural District.

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. Lee Ben 4:30pm Burlington Street 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.

LLC 319-331-5923/319-356-6550 http://www.ibizadvisor.mybpbiz.com II 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!
