The funding is tied to how our legislators vote. I?m sure most people will have gotten rid of this message without reading it. It effects all of the other organizations like 621, and many other Tallahassee and Leon county arts. Please consider taking action on behalf of our community. We all have to stick together and be the glue of our culture to push forward and make it better. -Holly Holly Hanessian Professor of Art Ceramics Area Head Dept. of Art, Florida State University Pronouns: She/her/hers ?They tried to bury us, they didn't know we were seeds.? - Mexican Proverb Begin forwarded message: From: COCA/Tallahassee Arts > Subject: Action Alert: Please contact your legislator TODAY to protect state arts funding Date: March 1, 2022 at 7:26:21 PM EST To: hhanessian at fsu.edu Reply-To: erica at tallahasseearts.org View as Webpage [http://files.constantcontact.com/c027e679001/e07f9aab-4664-41ef-ba52-53c8e4df7dad.png?rdr=true] [https://files.constantcontact.com/c027e679001/ce67329f-ca79-43a3-bfe6-183e9f2d14ce.jpg?rdr=true] [Facebook] ?

Let?s do it! Kathleen Spehar, Executive Director, COCA By the numbers: SENATE Line 3193 - Culture and Museum Grants - They're recommending $136,428. This has GOT to be a data entry error. We've NEVER seen anything like this before because this is only .3% of the ask! Line 3200 - Cultural Facilities - They're recommending $5,966,722, but it's not according to ranking. They need to be funded according to ranking. HOUSE Line 3192A - Culture Builds Florida - They're recommending $3,077,996 (100%). Ask them to protect this. The Senate completely eliminated this line number! Line 3193 - Culture and Museum Grants - They're recommending $32,404,632. We like this. It's 70% of the entire request. ?Line 3200 - Cultural Facilities - They're recommending $500,000. Encourage the Senate's number applied according to ranking.

FSU Department of Art Presents: SUCHITRA MATTAI Thursday March 10th at 7:00pm Facilitated by Professor Grace Aneiza Ali [cid:93e92ca9-0f23-4a52-add9-396f55a0c247] About this event Suchitra Mattai is a multi-disciplinary artist who lives and works in Denver, Colorado. Suchitra was born in Guyana, South America, but has also lived in Halifax and Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Philadelphia, New York City, Minneapolis, and Udaipur, India. These diverse natural and cultural environments have greatly influenced her work and research. While her practice includes a wide range of materials and ideas, her primary interests include 1) the complex relationship between the natural and artificial worlds and 2) the questioning of historical and authoritative narratives, especially those surrounding colonialism. Through painting, fiber, drawing, collage, installation, video, and sculpture, she weaves narratives of "the other," invoking fractured landscapes and reclaiming cultural artifacts (often colonial and domestic in nature). Suchitra received an MFA in Painting and Drawing and an MA in South Asian art, both from the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. She has exhibited her work in Philadelphia, New York City, Washington, DC, Minneapolis, Denver, Austin, Berlin, London, and Wales and her work has appeared in various publications such as The Daily Serving (Mailee Hung), New American Paintings, and will be in a forthcoming book, A Collection of Contemporary Women's Voices on Guyana, (Grace Aneiza Ali, Brill Press). Her next projects include a large scale commission for the Sharjah Biennial (2019), group exhibitions with the Museum of the Americas, Washington, DC, Pen and Brush, New York, NY, and the Lancaster Museum of Art and History, Lancaster, CA.

The One O365 campaign is an FSU initiative to combine student and employee email accounts in one system, hosted by Office 365. The transition will take place during Spring 2022. After the upgrade, student emails will end with @fsu.edu instead of @my.fsu.edu (Example: FSUID at fsu.edu). After May 4, students will no longer be able to access their @my.fsu.edu email account. Please update student contact information anywhere you have it stored. Scrub your department's website and documentation to replace any references to @my.fsu.edu emails, and update student email links to point to the new sign in page outlook.com/fsu.edu. The Official Statement is attached.

This spring, Information Technology Services (ITS) is leading a major campaign to combine all student and employee email accounts in one email system, hosted by Office 365. Moving everyone into the same email system will open doors to increased collaboration across the university. For example, staff can search for student contact info directly in Outlook. Student workers can access and help manage department mailboxes. Faculty can use Microsoft Teams to talk with students or set up virtual office hours. What is changing? At completion, all student emails will be converted to @fsu.edu email addresses and will follow the format FSUID at fsu.edu. Student employees will have one email inbox where both their school and work emails are stored. New student applicants began receiving @fsu.edu emails starting February 4. Current student email accounts will transition to the new system the evening of May 4. This transition will not result in any changes to employee email unless an employee is a current student. What do I need to do? Please update student contact information anywhere you have it stored. Scrub your department's website and documentation to replace any references to @my.fsu.edu emails, and update student email links to point to the new sign in page outlook.com/fsu.edu. To help students with the transition, ITS has prepared a One O365 communications kit that includes sample text, digital graphics, printable posters, video links and more. Please use the kit to help raise awareness and support students through the change. More Info Find out more about the One O365 project at its.fsu.edu/one-o365. Questions?

Join us for a FAR & Away virtual lecture with virtual artists in residence Kei Ito and Andrew Keiper. The artists will be discussing their photographic, video and sound based collaboration work as well as a new project created in residence with FAR. A screening of their piece, New Light-Narrowcast, will be on display at FAB room 249 on March 10th 4:30-8:00pm and a pop up show of their work will be on view concurrently at the Museum of Fine Art until March 11th. About the Artists: Kei Ito is a visual artist working primarily with experimental photography and installation art who is currently teaching at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in NYC. Ito received his MFA from Maryland Institute College of Art in 2016. Ito?s work addresses issues of deep intergenerational loss and connections as he explores the materiality and experimental processes of photography, visualizing the invisible: radiation, memory and life/death. Ito?s work, fundamentally rooted in the trauma and legacy passed down from his late grandfather - a survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, meditates on the complexity of his identity and heritage through examining the past and current threats of nuclear disaster and his present status as an US-immigrant. Many of Ito?s artworks transformed both art and non-art spaces into temporal monuments that became platforms for the audience to explore social issues and the memorials dedicated to the losses suffered from the consequences of those issues. Andrew Paul Keiper is an artist and educator based in Baltimore, Maryland where he teaches at the Maryland Institute College of Art in the Animation and Film & Video programs. Working in sound, image and installation, Andrew's work dances across the boundaries of sound art, experimental music and sound design. Field recordings, drones, drumming and sound designed evocations of places remote in time and place commingle in Keiper?s work, inviting the audience to listen in ways they may not be accustomed to listening. Much of Andrew's work contemplates the legacy of his grandfather's role in the creation of the atomic bomb, and the ramifications of atomic weaponry past and present. Andrew also maintains a practice as a sound designer for film, and as a musician and audio engineer. In January of 2018 Keiper and Ito presented their Rubys project, Afterimage Requiem at the Baltimore War Memorial. The exhibition received coverage by the Washington Post Magazine, the BBC, the Baltimore Sun and others. In 2016, they brought this work, along with others to the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where they exhibited their first large-scale art museum exhibition, Archives Aflame.
