Close to 40 artists inquired about participation in this event and 28 dance companies, studios, schools and individual artists are scheduled to show new works, present lecture/demonstrations, mini- classes or works-in-progress, and all manner of dance related activities on a continuous showcase over two days in the Boulder Public Library Auditorium. The showcase runs on Saturday, September 10 from 11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. and Sunday, September 11 from 12:30 p.m. - 6 p.m. Registration with the Boulder Arts Resource is mandatory for participation so we have added to our ranks. We've also added two new features this year: the Library Friday Film Series and an "Open Studios/Open Rehearsals" event. Four short dance films will be presented on Friday, September 9 at 7:00 PM in the Auditorium. Joel Haertling and I collaborated on this - he choose three classic art films and I added the fabulous Canadian short that we showed last year. Films include: The Very Eye of Night, directed by Maya Deren (1958), depicts dancers in photographic negative as they perform a series of ballet moves, solos, pas de deux, and larger groupings. The dancers glide and rotate against a slowly changing star field. (15 min.) Pas de Deux, directed by Norman McLaren (1968), consists of two ballet dancers performing with graceful cinemagraphic enhancements. (13 min.) Ballet Adagio, directed by Norman McLaren (1972), is a film of two dancers performing in ghostly slow motion. (10 min.) A Very Dangerous Pastime, directed by Laura Taler (Canada, 2000), is described as "a devastatingly simple dance guide." (14 min.) The "Open Studios/Open Rehearsals" will allow those groups with classes or rehearsals on the weekend to participate. Participating groups, schedules, locations, and times will be listed on the web page www.artsresource.or dance . • PR on the DANCE Is FOR EVERY BODY (DEB) showcase in September has already begun. DEB is a wonderful opportunity for the dance community to reach new audiences, network, and distribute information on their activities, events, and classes as the new season begins. This fun, informal, family showcase drew over 300 audience members to the auditorium last year, some stoped by for a little while others stayed for the afternoon. There is also a Resource/Information table in the lobby outside the auditorium where the public can pick up class schedules and information on upcoming events, a studio list, plus contact information on dance in the area, the Boulder Arts Commission, the Dance Bridge, Boulder Arts Resource, Boulder County Arts Alliance, Colorado Dance Alliance and other related dance information. Note: I have not heard from Channel 8 about the DANCE IS FOR EVERY BODY program that we taped last year. I have sent Don an email every couple of months to ask what's happening. • Twice monthly Dance Bridge "Email Updates" continue to be sent to the dance community on a variety of topics. Items include: grant deadlines, workshop information, performances, festival and workshop information, call for artists, and general "news for the dance community." Over 150 individual artists and dance companies, and over 20 studios and schools receive it. Feedback has been good. • Attended Colorado Dance Alliance meetings on 1St Annual Colorado Dance Awards, and am helping with the PR and the souvenir program for the event. Dance Bridge was nominated in the "Service to the Field" category. The Awards ceremony is set for Saturday, October 8 at the Lakewood Cultural Center in Lakewood. • The new contact with Naropa is proving to be a good pipeline to their students. I had at least 7 students inquiring about the DEB showcase, and am encouraging them to register and get connected. 1 continue to field both specific and general questions from the dance community - new to Boulder transplants, people looking for classes, costumes, theater/rehearsal/class space, workshops... you name it!

Dance is for Every Body is sponsored by the Dance Bridge of the Boulder Arts Commission, an agency of the City of Boulder, and the Boulder Public Library. -~tE l boulder arts academy r February 29, 2004 Donna Gartenmann Boulder Arts Commission C/o Boulder Public Library 1000 Canyon Blvd. Boulder, CO 80302 Dear Boulder Arts Commission, The Boulder Arts Academy respectfully requests a $10,000 grant for education management and ticketing software, training and technical support. The software would allow us to increase efficiency and provide better service to our students in the areas of registration, billing, enrollment management, facility scheduling and planning and ticketing. This software would enable us to support our planned growth of 15% annually over the next several years without having to add additional full time staff, saving the Academy about $60,000 in just two years. The Academy's mission is to provide excellent arts education for students of all ages through exemplary instruction by inextricably linking education with superior performance experiences. We serve all levels of students: those who pursue arts education to enrich their lives and those that will pursue the arts as a career. We serve over 1,000 students annually in our resident education programs, primarily youth from pre-K through high school. In addition, 5,000 students and senior citizens participate annually in our community outreach programs, and an additional 7,000 people enjoy our myriad of performance events. We are the only community school of the arts in Colorado that offers both music and dance instruction, coupled with a professional ballet company in residence. This integration of music and dance is manifested throughout our programming: our ballet classes are accompanied by live music; over 75 of our dance students performed with the Boulder Ballet and Boulder Philharmonic during four performances of the 2003 Nutcracker; and new music and choreography are commissioned by the Academy each year (we even produced an hour-long ballet score by a high school music and dance student!). Our outreach programs to public schools integrate arts with academic disciplines in Science (e.g. Physics of Dance, Acoustics of Music), Social Studies (e.g. Latin American Storytelling and Music) and History (e.g. Steps- in-Time dance from Baroque to Contemporary periods). This is a crucial year for the Academy. Both the Academy and the Ballet have existed for over a decade under umbrella organizations; however, 2003-04 marks the first year we are operating as an independent non-profit entity. Our primary goal during our nascent period is to strengthen and stabilize our infrastructure so that our arts education programs are soundly supported, and to expand our program offerings to capitalize on the integrated nature of our arts school in collaboration with our performing divisions. Technical support from the Boulder Arts Commission will help enable us to establish the Academy and the Ballet on a solid business foundation. We appreciate this opportunity to present our organization and thank you for your consideration. Please contact me at 303.588.6440 or SoYoung Lee, the Academy Executive Director at 303.449.9291 Ext.102 or lees@boulderartsacademX_org if you require additional information or clarification. SWKplus, /Lester .hair Board of Directors 2590 Walnut St Boulder, CO $0302 www boulderartsacademy org 303 449 9291 447.0055 fax boulder arts academy Agency Information Organizational History - The Boulder Arts Academy and the Boulder Ballet have been in operations for over a decade. Both separated from the Peak Association of the Arts in August 2003 and merged under a common organization, the Boulder Arts Academy, to enable better execution of the organization's core educational mission. The Academy and the Ballet currently operate under the Boulder County Arts Alliance fiscal agency while our application for 501(c)(3) status (filed with the IRS in August 2003) is pending. Peak Association of the Arts was formed in 1999 as an umbrella organization for the Boulder Philharmonic (founded in 1958), Boulder Ballet (founded in 1984), and the Academy (founded in 1991 as an education branch of the Boulder Philharmonic). In August 2003, Peak Association of the Arts was dissolved and the divisions split into philosophically aligned, independent entities. Boulder Arts Academy Mission Statement - The mission of the Boulder Arts Academy is to provide excellent arts education for students of all ages through exemplary instruction, collaboration with professional performing arts organizations, and a focus on individual and community needs. Relationship of Program to Other Agencies - We are the only community school of the arts in Colorado that offers both music and dance instruction, coupled with a professional ballet company in residence. This integration of music and dance is manifested throughout our programming: our ballet classes are accompanied by live music; over 75 of our dance students performed with the Boulder Ballet and Boulder Philharmonic during four performances of the 2003 Nutcracker; and new music and choreography are commissioned by the Academy each year. We recently even produced an hour-long ballet score created by one of our high school music and dance students! Our newly launched Artist Encounter lecture-recitals integrate performance and education: distinguished artists present diverse programs ranging from African music and dance to ballet, bluegrass, and the avant-garde in an interactive format. Our outreach programs to public schools integrate arts with academic disciplines in Science (e.g. Physics of Dance, Acoustics of Music), Social Studies (e.g. Latin American Storytelling and Music) and History (e.g. Steps-in-Time - dance from Baroque to Contemporary periods). Description and Impact of Proposed Technical Assistance Nature of Technical Assistance Requested and Relationship to Mission Statement - Education management and ticketing automation are key requirements to the successful growth and management of the Boulder Arts Academy. Administration of student education and ticketed performance events, both critical to the Academy's mission, incurs excessively high administrative cost in terms of human resources. Automation will reduce administrative costs and increase the accuracy of data, reduce the need to increase staff at the same rate of growth as the student census, and provide the ability to focus the time of current staff on providing more personalized customer service. Also, online ticketing will free staff from the distraction of providing in-person ticketing to everyone for all performances, as is now the case. The resultant drastic reduction in interruptions will enormously improve staff efficiency. The technical assistance being requested from the Boulder Arts Commission includes: Education management software; Implementation and training of the management software; Creation of a data transfer interface between education management software and the Academy's current accounting system; Online ticketing software; and Implementation and training of ticketing software Plan to Execute This Initiative - An eighteen-week implementation plan is planned, with activities ranging from documenting our specific needs, to evaluating products on the market and in use by other community schools of the arts, to training in the use of the implemented software. Our implementation plan will be broken into four phases: 2590 Walnut St. Boulder, CO 80302 www.boulderartsacademy.org 303-449-9291 303147-0055 fax boulder arts academy Phase 1 (6 weeks) • Complete and document needs assessment with staff • Review product offerings that meet Academy requirements Phase 2 (4 weeks) • Purchase and install both software programs (Education Management and Online Ticketing) • Train staff in the use of both new tools Phase 3 (6 weeks) • Specify the detailed requirements for the data transfer interface • Identify a programmer to tailor the data transfer interface • Enter data into Education Management software • Prepare Standard Operating Procedures for both products Phase 4 (2 weeks) • Implement and test the data transfer interface • Review outstanding issues for repair • Review needs for further training • Conduct follow-up training program Past History with Consultants and/or Professional Training on This Need - Pro-bond consulting on Arts Education Management and Online Ticketing processes has given us an awareness of the software tools available, as well as an understanding of the advantages such tools could provide to the Academy's work flow and efficiency. Type of Support Received and How This Training Influenced Our Planning - The result of the consultant review was to determine that it is crucial to the Academy's mission to find funding to reach our Arts Education Management and Online Ticketing automation goals. Some activities that were low cost, such as automated credit card processing through our accounting software and improved and streamlined accounting practices have already been completed. The next steps of the Academy automation process involve the projects outlined in this BAC grant request. List of Participants That Will Engage in This Technical Assistance Initiative, Including Positions Held in Boulder Arts Academy - • Lester Karplus - Board Chair • SoYoung Lee - Executive Director • Rona Cantor - Office Manager • Kathy Frebel - Office Assistant • Ramon Roth - IT Consultant Lester Karplus will lead the Academy automation project outlined herein. Karplus is intimately aware of the details of the current Academy financial systems, and he brings extensive hands-on experience in the software industry to the project. Impact of Proposed Technical Assistance Anticipated Outcomes and How Results Will Build Academy Internal Infrastructure - An Education Management system interfaced with the Academy's accounting system will increase efficiency of staff, reduce errors, improve reporting, provide more staff availability for customer service, and create growth opportunities with a lower staff to student ratio. The data provided by the system will also allow us to make much more objective evaluations of the return on our investment for the myriad of education programs that serve over 1,000 students annually. Ticketing software will provide online and self-service capabilities for students and the community at a significantly lower cost to current manual or contract systems, which will in turn permit growth of 2590 Walnut St. Boulder, CO 80302 www.boulderartsacademy.org 303-449-9291 303-447-0055 fax boulder arts academy performance venues and events with less staff cost. The ticketing software will allow Academy families and community members access to ticketing at their convenience, seven days per week. Incorporation of Lessons Learned into Future Academy Planning and Programming - The process by which this proposed automation provides data to evaluate return on investment and supports higher Academy productivity should result in a culture shift in the organization. This shift should occur from creating an awareness of how technology can boost productivity while enhancing staff satisfaction. Learning the automation process will be both challenging and exciting for Academy staff, and put them more in control of their destiny through creating objective, data-driven management reports to better evaluate the financial feasibility of various Academy initiatives. Such feasibility analysis will inform future programming decisions and support the Academy's mission for providing excellence in arts education and performance events. Evaluation of Success of This Initiative - The success of this technology initiative will be measured through evaluation of the following metrics: • Improved student/staff ratio • Higher revenue/staff ratio • Lowered staff interruptions • Overall staff satisfaction and retention • Percent of total tickets purchased online. In addition to the efficiency metrics indicated above, the ability of staff to readily and accurately generate critical reports for the Board of Directors in a timely fashion will be another measure of success. Mentorship Plan to Share or Transfer Materials, Knowledge And Skills Gained as a Result of the BAC Technical Assistance Activity - The automation challenges encountered by the Academy are universal for arts organizations, and become more apparent as they mature from start-ups to organizations that manage a wide range of activities and events annually. To share our experiences with the automation provided by the BAC Technical Assistance grant, the Academy will provide two training seminars for arts_- organizations throughout the Boulder community. The first seminar will outline the process for education management automation; the second for event ticketing automation. Both seminars will be advertised to all resident organizations of the Dairy Center for the Arts and other similar organizations that might benefit (we will work with Boulder County Arts Alliance to reach a wider audience). It is anticipated that these would take place about 6 months following completion of the project so specific outcomes could have been determined and shared. Estimated Budget for BAA Automation Project - Software for Education Management $2,500 Software for Ticketing $1,500 Accounting Interface Cost $1,800 Training $1,100 Implementation $ 600 Internal IT Costs $1,500 Clerical Costs $ 500 Documentation 5 S00 $10,000 Summary- A BAC Technical Assistance grant of $10,000 for educational and ticketing software would benefit nearly 13,000 Boulder community members that the Academy and Ballet directly serves each year. This impact would be further leveraged through sharing our automation experiences to help other small to medium size arts organizations to build software infrastructure that allows them to maximize their staff resources, improve their bottom line, and better serve Boulder's arts patrons. 2590 Walnut St. Boulder, CO 80302 www.boulderartsacademy.org 303-449-9291 303-447-0055 fax boulder arts academy Names and Qualifications of Key Staff Key Staff SoYoung Lee Executive Director and Music Program Director (FT) Education: D.M.A. in Piano Performance, University of California, Santa Barbara Experience: .Director of Preparatory and Adult Education, Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory .Director of Preparatory and Assistant Professor of Music at Millikin University *Music Instructor, CU-Boulder and SUNY, Fredonia Ana Claire Dance Program Director and Co-Artistic Director of Boulder Ballet (FT) Education: Dance Pedagogy, Texas Christian University Experience: .Director of Lower Division Dance, Peak Arts Academy *Co-Director of Dance, Ballet Arts .Former principal dancer, Boulder Ballet .Produced seven original storybook ballets to original compositions .Directed five Nutcracker productions for Boulder Ballet Peter Davison Co-Artistic Director of Boulder Ballet (PT) Experience: .Member of Airjazz .Former dancer of Boulder Ballet and David Taylor Dance Company .Workshop leader for Cirque du Soleil *Artist-in-Residence throughout the State .Guest on the Tonight Show Rona Cantor Office Manager (PT, 30 hours/week) Education: M.P.A., University of Colorado, Boulder Arts Academy Experience: .Manager, Colorado Shakespeare Festival & Department of Theatre and Dance .Executive Director, Congregation Bonai Shalom Kathy Frebel Office Assistant (PT, 20 hours/week) Education: M.B.A., University of Wyoming, Laramie Experience: .Project Manager, Agency West, Inc., Marketing Manager, Core Systems, Inc.

Such an art'center, modeled after the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Virginia, will be self-sup- porting and provide substantial economic and cultural benefits to the City of Boulder and its citizens. Open Studios was founded in Boulder almost 11 years ago as a non-profit dedicated to providing educational opportunities for citizens to gain -a broader understanding and ap- preciation of the visual arts through the personal experience of meeting artists in work--- ing studios. During these eleven years over a" a half-million visits have been made to local artists' studios where people of all ages experience the. world of creation and imagination, discover how artists carve out their working spaces, see work in progress,'watch demon- - strations and view finished pieces. Many of these visitors purchased art directly from the- artists, generating over $500,000 in direct sales last year alone. The Washington Elementary School site will enable Open Studios to offer a year-round opportunity for our community to experience and participate in the visual arts. Such a = facility will significantly expand the benefits_thatOpen Studios now provides. -Educational Opportunities In addition to an annual two-weekend event in October that•opens the studios of over - 130 artists, Open Studios currently offers an Education LINKS program that pays artists `to- provide `arts education- classes at eight schools with large enrollments of students with English as a second language. Open Studios is a-sponsor of ArtsBridge, -a university'di- rected program where artists integrate art instruction into -`anon-art" classes. And, at the- request of Congressman Mark Udall, Open Studios supports the U.S. Congressional High Schools Arts Competition. _ ~A working visual. arts center-wiII enhance these-existing programs an . provide Boulder ."citizens with.a place they. can go and witness the creative process of making art in a ca sual setting.
