sFAA’s 2006 Legislative Forum: Enhancing the Arts Community with the Exchange of Ideas
by Rachael Kvapil
every summer
visitors to the Interior express
great surprise at the number
of galleries, performances,
and artists in Alaska. Fairbanks
Arts Association staff and
volunteers enjoy educating
people about our thriving
community that supports
all genres of visual, literary,
and performing arts. FAA
knows that the more people
understand art, the more likely
they are to support it as either
a patron or a participant.
Throughout the
year arts organizations put a
lot of energy into educating
visitors and residents alike.
With so many arts-related
opportunities, it takes
continuous communication to
keep abreast of the activities
in any given arts organization.
The payoff, however, is that
artists and arts organization
know how to help each other
while working towards the
growth of our established arts
culture in Alaska.
This show of
support becomes important
every December when
Fairbanks Arts Association
holds its Legislative Forum.
An event affiliated with FAA’s
Community Arts Committee,
the Legislative Forum brings
members from the arts
community together with the
current Interior Delegation for
an open discussion about arts-
related issues. Participation
in the forum is open to FAA
affiliates, other arts organizations, artists, and
arts educators. Attending the 2006 Legislative
Forum, held on December 6 in the FAA Bear
Gallery, were Senators Gary Wilken and
Gene Therriault and Representatives David
Guttenburg, John Coghill, Jr., Scott Kawasaki
(elect) with legislative aides Derek Miller (for
Representative Mike Kelly), Dorothy Shockley
(for Senator Al Kookesh), and Joe Michel (for
Senator Ralph Seekins). FAA executive Director
June Rogers facilitated the forum.
Peggy Ferguson, council member for
the Alaska State Council on the Arts, updated
the Interior Delegation about the activities of
this statewide agency including the celebration
of its 40th Anniversary in 2007. She asked the
Interior Delegation to support the funding
requests submitted by ASCA to the governor,
which included a National endowment for
the Arts grant match and additional funds
to hire a full-time Arts education position.
After acknowledging the efforts of the entire
delegation on behalf of arts organization,
Peggy also recognized Senator Gary Wilken
as the 2006 Governor’s Arts Advocacy Award
recipient.
Members of the Interior Delegation
complimented arts organizations for
accomplishing so much despite limited
budgets. “We know that for every dollar given
we get so much more back,” said Senator
Wilken, a statement echoed many times
though the hour and a half session.
The Interior
D e l e g a t i o n
was also urged
to support an
increase in
arts education.

e x p r e s s e d
a difficulty
maintaining arts
education given the demands of ‘No Child Left
Behind.’
“Though ‘No Child Left Behind’
states that the arts are part of the core and
will be tested in the future, the current focus
is on reading, writing, and math with science
next. We need to find bigger blocks of time to
include the arts,” said Barb.
Finally, Barb encouraged the
legislature to continue its support of the 1% for
Art Program, which requires public facilities to
set aside 1% of its budget for art for the newly
built structure.
In addition to the exchange of ideas,
FAA assembled an information package for
each member of the Interior Delegation. The
package included brochures, pamphlets, and
program information about FAA, ASCA, and
Interior arts organizations. Legislators say the
reference material is useful when discussing
arts-related issues with their colleagues.
Arts organizations are proud of
the support they receive from their Interior
Delegation. “The Legislative Forum is a great
opportunity to familiarize yourself with your
team,” says Fairbanks Concert Association
executive Director Jason hodges.
FAA Board President Corlis Taylor
adds, “It is a great opportunity to learn first
hand about the people representing you and
your organization in Juneau.”

The mission of North Pole Charitable
Youth, Inc. is to inspire youth to
dream and create their dreams using
technology new to Alaska. While
following that dream, students will
learn how to set goals, schedules,
and plan to succeed. We use a
series of classes, each one building
on the skills learned in several
unrelated disciplines, to accomplish
the ultimate goal of creating new
entrepreneurial opportunities
and economic diversity in Alaska.
Classes include but are not limited
to 2D and �D computer animation,
videoagraphy, sound and video
editing, sound and video effects.
We use �D computer animation
to teach students how to create
constructive and productive projects
while letting their creative ideas
flow. We channel the ideas into
short movies that become a demo
reel for the students. These 5-minute
animations include all the different
aspects of animation, which include
modeling (sculpting and art), motion
(drama), audio (music and effects),
lighting (drama and photography),
textures (art and painting), and
storyboarding (creative writing and
story telling).
Students then work in-group projects
where they learn to cooperate with
others and make stories that can become a
television series a movie or game. here the
students learn how to work within a set time
frame and budget.
Youth and adults repeatedly asked Mr. Sevy if
he could teach them �D-computer animation,
he conducted a survey at local high schools and
determined that there was sufficient interest
to put a class together. NPCYI was created in
April 2001. The first class of 4 students began
in 2002-200� school year with donated space
and a limit of 2 hours per week from the North
Pole Youth Academy. In the 200�-2004 school
year North Pole high School donated the use
of eight computers and 4 hours per week for
an after school class. February of 2005 NPCYI
decided to branch out on its own with its own
facility thus opening classes up to the entire
interior Alaska area.
We are currently raising $60,000 for a render*
farm and new computers for the �D animation
class. This will free students computers from
render duties and let the students spend class
time working on their projects.
NPCYI is planning to start classes in
animatronics and hologram technology in
the near future. Classes are held at 1949
Gilliam Way, Room 401. For more information
visit www.npcyi.org or call 455-5585 to leave
message.
*(Render: This is the term for where the computer
calculates the art work and lighting for each frame
of animation. It then creates photos then puts
these in sequence to make a movie file.) Students
must render their projects for viewing timing and
appearance of the animations. There are 30 frames
for each second or 1,800 frame for each minute
of animation. When students first start each
animation it is just a few hundred frames and each
frame renders in seconds. As the student progresses
and their skills increases the complexity of the
animation increase significantly. Each frame then
can take minutes hours, and some frames may take
days to render out a single frame.

JAnuAry gALLery exhibit: Art for Alaskansthe alaska state council on the arts in collaboration with the national endowment For the arts selections From 30 years oF the alaska contemporary art bank
sponsored by the nea american masterpieces initiative editor’s Note: The following is a statement written from Alaska State Council on the Arts executive Director Charlotte Fox, written for the Art for Alaskans catalog.
This exhibit, �0 years of the Alaska Contemporary Art Banks, is part of an initiative launched this year by the National endowment for the Arts, entitled “American Masterpieces.” every state chose a project they thought represented qualities inherent in American Masterpieces, representing the best of the state’s cultural and artistic legacy. For this inaugural year, in honor of our 40th anniversary, we chose to highlight our own Contemporary Art Bank. The Alaska Contemporary Art Bank is an Alaska State Council on the Arts program that supports Alaska’s artists through the purchase of their work. For years, the Art Bank has lived up to its mission of making valuable art accessible to the general public by placing high quality works of original art by living Alaska artists on view in public spaces other than museums. The Alaska State Council on the Arts wants to thank the participating museums, galleries and culture centers for hosting this traveling exhibit. The Council would also like to recognize the curatorial sensibilities of the exhibit curator Asia Freeman, homer, and the exhibit coordinator Sandy Gillespie, Fairbanks.

& Brenda Jones “Gwich’ in Faces” Brenda Jones has always made art part of her life. Growing up in the panhandle of Florida, she was always involved in projects and
considered art an essential part of her well-being. She has an undergraduate and a master’s degree in math and in her 50s began formal art
training with her first painting class. For Brenda math and art are different ways of framing the universe, both focusing on essential elements of the
human condition.
During an extended stay in hawaii, Brenda became fascinated with different cultures and the conflicts generated by heritage, ethnicity
and identity and the demands of mainstream modern life. She not only learned about the different ethnic groups living in this island microcosm
but also learned about herself through the eyes of others. These experiences, more than any others, dovetailed into the experiences that she has
had living in rural Alaska. She regrets that she didn’t pursue portrait painting during this period of her life.
At 50 Brenda became certified to teach high school and took a job in Fort Yukon with an ambition of painting portraits of her new
charges. It was here that she picked up the dropped thread of discovering herself through the eyes of others, in addition to studying the effects of
the collision of culture and the demands of living in the modern American 21st century.
her show “Gwich’in Faces” is very personal for Brenda, “When I first arrived in Fort Yukon, I had two brothers in my class, Thomas and
everette horace. They had just moved into Fort Yukon from Venetie to go to
school, and hopefully play basketball with the eagles. Thomas and everette were
good students but amazing on the basketball court.
“After I returned to Fairbanks, everette moved into town as well and attended
howard Luke Academy during the time that I was the math teacher there. In
short, we span a seven-year history together and I have been blessed with having
them in my life. We all lost Thomas last February and are still trying to come to
terms with this loss.
Dedicating this show to Thomas’ memory is my way of communicating to his
family how profoundly sorry I am for their loss and a way to help me process this
event.”

Dan was born and raised in Rockford Illinois, located 90 miles west of Chicago. When he was in the sixth grade, his parents bought him a subscription to “Outdoor” magazine, as a Christmas gift. Little did they know that it would change his life forever. In one of the issues was an article on Fred Bear bow hunting for Grizzly Bear in Alaska. It had artist’s renditions of the hunt and soon, Dan would dream of living in Alaska and bow hunting for Grizzly Bear.
It took 37 years before Dan realized his dream of coming to Alaska. After high school, he went to work for a factory, got married and had a family and thought his dream would never come true. In 1997, Dan came to Alaska for the first time, camping for two weeks and traveling throughout the road system of Alaska. In 1998, he brought his wife and daughter back for two more weeks of camping, when he returned to Illinois, the factory he worked for had filed for bankruptcy and he was without a job.
He applied only for jobs in Alaska, and after almost 9 months of applying for jobs via telephone and Internet (and one more visit here looking for work) he finally was hired by a local air carrier. He came up in March of 1999, and his family followed in June of 1999.
As Dan became older, his passion for hunting with bow and arrow left and he began hunting with a camera instead. He has a passion for photographing both wildlife and scenic areas of Alaska and travels often in his spare time (never is he without his trusty Canon!). He has traveled all over the state pursuing photo opportunities and spends countless hours in the wilderness of Denali National Park and in the woods around Fairbanks.He truly is home in nature and has a concern for the vanishing wilderness and wildlife not only in Alaska but all over the world. His photographs are an attempt to bring wilderness and wildlife to those who are not fortunate enough to experience it for themselves. Dan will donate a portion of all profits from his photos to wilderness conservation.

2007 Artist In Residence Program
Gates of the ArcticNational Park and Preserve
National Park Service
U.S. Department of the Interior
Gates of the Arctic NP&P
201 First Ave
Fairbanks, AK 99701
About The Program The Artist in Residence program offers professional writers, composers, musicians, twoand three-dimensional visual artists, photographers, filmmakers, and artisans of all typesthe opportunity to pursue their art in a premier wilderness setting; Gates of the ArcticNational Park and Preserve.
The selected artist accompanies a Park Ranger on a backcountry patrol. Patrols mayaccommodate the artist to a certain extent, but artists must be both physically fit enoughto attempt such a journey and possess the skills and experience for extended, rigorouswilderness travel. The artists provide their own food, art supplies, camping andbackpacking gear, and transportation to and from Coldfoot, Alaska. The Park suppliestransportation originating and ending in Coldfoot, watercraft and associated equipmentfor float trips, and bear resistant food containers for all trips. Pets are not allowed.
The artist agrees to contribute one piece of work inspired by their residency to the parkand to make at least one public presentation about their experience within one year.Contributed works become park property and are placed on public display or performedwithin the community. Collaborative projects are considered and programs thatcoordinate with local schools and organizations are encouraged.
For the duration of their trip, resident artists are classified as National Park ServiceVolunteers In Parks.
A jury comprised of the Gates of the Arctic NP&P Chief of Operations and AIRProgram Coordinator, and a panel of three local Alaskan artists makes the selection.Selections are based on the demonstrated artistic merits of the applicant(s), on how theproposed art work will represent Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, itswilderness values and on how it will advance the preservation mission of the NationalPark Service and Gates of the Arctic NP&P.
Selections will be made without regard to race, religion, sex, marital status, or age;however, applicants must possess the ability, skills and experience to fully participatein the Park’s backcountry patrols.

voLunteer oF the month: Vi Robinson I came to the Fairbanks Arts Association in the late eighties for
job training. I learned may skills like bulk mailing and early lessons
on the computer. My greatest enlightenment was about the many,
many forms of art. I am a lifelong Alaskan, born and raised in
Chistochina through my teens. Unfortunately in my era there was
no school and so my foster mother read to us during the long
winter evenings. She read many classics like Lewis Caroll’s Alice in
Wonderland, which gave me great appreciation for literature into my
adult years. I really enjoy FAA’s Monthly Literary Readings in the Bear
Gallery and Gazebo Nights in summer months.
Lately I have been involved with the Dinners in the home
Program as a driver. I enjoy meeting all the visitors and
showing them the Fairbanks I have come to know over
forty years. I am so glad to have had the opportunity
to be involved with FAA. It has really enriched my life!
I am glad to have met so many creative and friendly
people. I am thankful for my time there.
