Item Open Access CultureWork ; Vol. 19, No. 04(Institute for Community Arts Studies, Arts & Administration Program, University of Oregon, 2015-10) Leonard, Kim; Worcel, Sonia; Voelker-Morris, Julie L.; Voelker-Morris, Robert J., 1969-Creating a holistic and broad ranging educational agenda in an era of sparse allocations of educational programming and school budgets is much on the minds of arts and culture sector workers. Indeed, calls for more science and technology; more basics of math, reading and writing; and more creative problem solving and design are found in the daily news. In the midst of these competing educational demands emerges a highly significant question: how do we create sustainable quality arts education for youth? The Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) has begun to tackle this question through its Studio to School pilot program. In this issue of CultureWork, authors Kim Leonard and Sonia Worcel, researchers at OCF, provide a snapshot of this case-study model within the State of Oregon. They describe the power of creative expression experienced by youth through the arts learning supported in these OCF funded programs. They also explore needs for differentiation in arts learning within specific school settings and suggest initial ways to think about successful arts education principles, outcomes, and offerings. As editors, we hope this articles leads to further dialogue and action about this important component of our national wellbeing–the future of arts education and the overarching educational robustness for our children.Item Open Access CultureWork ; Vol. 20, No. 01(Institute for Community Arts Studies, Arts & Administration Program, University of Oregon, 2016-01) Katz, Anne; Voelker-Morris, Julie L.; Voelker-Morris, Robert J., 1969-Advocates lead, champion, and proselytize causes or policies for the public good. We consider them the spokespeople and guides upholding the fight on behalf of others, including ourselves. But what if we flip that notion? What if we consider that each and every one of us directing, designing, marketing, fundraising, researching, teaching, and creating in arts and culture sectors are the proponents and promoters of arts for the public good each and every day? That we individually, as well as collectively, advocate for the importance of the arts broadly? Specifically, advocating through our pre-show talks with our audience members, through the pastry and cup of tea we enjoy with our business colleagues at the Chamber of Commerce, through the messaging we send via social media outlets, or by encouraging our students to talk to their school board about their desires for more arts specialists in their classrooms? Anne Katz, Executive Director of Arts Wisconsin, explores these questions in the current issue of CultureWork: A Periodic Broadside for Arts and Culture Workers. We encourage you to read, comment, and share ways in which we each advocate for the arts.Item Open Access Reflections on "Reviving Arts Education Through Collaboration"(Center for Community Arts & Cultural Policy, Arts & Administration Program, University of Oregon, 2017) Stankiewicz, Mary Ann; Voelker-Morris, Julie L.
