SUMMARY:AEP6 Arts Advocacy Briefing with Randy Cohen
DESCRIPTION:HAA is the local partner for the Arts and Economic Prosperity 6 study from Americans for the Arts. Houston and Harris County data shows that the arts are a net income generator for the City of Houston. The arts help pay the city’s bills generating $31\,839\,097 in tax revenue for the city and employing 19\,552 individuals in the City of Houston.\nWith recent rhetoric opposing support for the arts community\, it’s more important than ever to brush up on our advocacy skills.\nThis free\, special briefing – only for the arts sector and generously hosted by the Hobby Center – features the original architect of this multi-decade study\, Randy Cohen.\nRSVP to reserve your spot!\nParking and Schedule\nPlease feel free to park in the Hobby Center Garage located on Walker Street. Your parking will be validated at the check-in for the event. Walk up the breezeway past the Lexus cars and turn right to enter the lobby and head to Founders Club on the mezzanine level. The Hobby Center will have staff inside to help guide you. The presentation begins at 6:00pm\, and the venue will be open starting at 5:00pm for guests to arrive. Presentation will last approximately 90 minutes.\nAbout the Speaker\nRandy Cohen is Vice President of Research at Americans for the Arts—the national advocacy organization for the arts—where he has been empowering arts advocates since 1991. Cohen is known for balancing rigorous research methods with accessible and actionable results. His work at Americans for the Arts has provided new perspectives on the nonprofit arts. He recently published Arts & Economic Prosperity 6: The Economic Impact of Nonprofit Arts & Culture Organizations and their Audiences and Americans Speak Out About the Arts in 2023\, a national public opinion study about the arts. Randy led the development of The National Arts Index\, the annual measure of the health and vitality of arts in the U.S.\, and the National Arts Policy Roundtable\, an annual convening of leaders who focus on the advancement of American culture—launched in partnership with Robert Redford and the Sundance Institute. In the 1990’s\, Randy collaborated with the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities to create Coming Up Taller\, the White House report on arts programs for youth-at-risk; and the U.S. Department of Justice to produce the YouthARTS Project\, the first national study to statistically document the impact of arts programs on at-risk youth. He is the 2024 recipient of the Sidney Yates Advocacy Award for outstanding advocacy on behalf of the performing arts in America. His 10 Reasons to Support the Arts blog received the Gold Award from the Association of Media & Publishing—their top honor for best blog post of the year. A sought-after speaker\, Randy has given speeches in all 50 states\, and regularly appears in the news media—including the Wall Street Journal\, The New York Times\, and on C-SPAN\, CNN\, CNBC\, and NPR.\nRandy has been a policy specialist for the National Endowment for the Arts\, founded the San Diego Theatre for Young Audiences\, and worked in medical research for Stanford University and Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation. His board work includes the League of Historic American Theaters. Randy is a past Chair of the Takoma Park Arts & Humanities Commission\, during which time the Commission completed a cultural plan\, established the city’s Poet Laureate and public art programs\, and led the development of a million-dollar conversion of the city council chambers into a performing arts space.

SUMMARY:Fiction Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Creating Fiction through Generative Revision – Online Workshop\nEmerging writers are familiar with the experience of a story that starts off strong and is a joy to write\, but later becomes a labor that goes unfinished. This workshop will focus on techniques to deal with this loss of momentum. We have this idea that great work comes to other writers in one neat\, complete package. It’s only through experience that we learn that the best writing is achieved with patience and intentional work through layers of thoughtful\, generative revision. In this eight-week fiction workshop\, we will strategically analyze works of published fiction and workshop our own stories in small groups as we work through a layered drafting schedule to bring to life a fully developed short story that is grounded in inspiration from life.\nAbout the instructor:\nPATRICK STOCKWELL is the author of The Light Here Changes Everything\, winner of the Clay Reynolds Novella Prize. His work can also be found in Gulf Coast\, Glass Mountain\, and elsewhere. He is an Inprint MD Anderson Foundation fellow and PhD candidate in fiction at the University of Houston and holds an MFA from New Mexico State University.

SUMMARY:James: A Book Group (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Uncover the remnants of a forgotten\, hidden time\, and discuss how these remnants linger and influence the present. Can re-imagining the past change how we experience our present? In his latest novel James\, Percival Everett – author\, educator\, and presenter at The Jung Center’s upcoming spring benefit – takes an imaginal step back into the world of Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. As Everett walks back around this classic work of American literature\, we journey into a world that Twain’s innocent and optimistic protagonist could not have imagined. While both are runaways\, James – called “Jim” by Huck Finn – flees a life of slavery. Following James’ path\, Everett explores universal human experiences and invites us to reflect on how we’ve lived through or come into contact with these experiences ourselves: How and why do we change the ways we express ourselves to others\, and what happens when we do so because our survival is at stake? How might the deep meaning of a story change if our perspective changes? What happens when we hear a story that fundamentally alters the sense we’ve made of our world?
