SECTION THREE -- NARRATIVE
3.1 Response to Council Small Arts Program Funding Objectives:
Describe the organization's:
_ .
Small Arts Objective #1.: _
a)- Management Process: With the exception of direct funding to the artists, we answer
each of the funding objectives and goals of the MCA. Primarily an office of communica-
tion in the arts but with commitment to arts in education supplementary programs, aide
to the artists through communication, grants writing, exhibit space and the availabilit
Goty—l-eg ta c-tu ra 1 -ea ndaC-Cetintei-ng --staffevrithdtrt—cirar in
contributions are through service, not programming, but we collaborate with other organ.
b) Financial Accountability: izations in programs offering assistance not funding.
Since 1977 the County of Oakland has funded the Council (OCCC) and in 1980 created a
department of Cultural Affairs with a full time director and additional funding. With
the exception of one year when a grant application was not submitted,- the MCA has
offered operational support.
c) Long-range planning Process:
1986: Having proven a need through a 1985 feasibility study, the OCCC will seek fund
with Oakland Schools for an outreach program of the arts in education utilizini
local artists and additionally seek funding for the restoration of an historic,
building in which to facilitate this program benefiting all of Oakland Schools
1986: Increased art in public places program including theatre and music.
(See attach d) Evaluation methods (summarize Section 3.6):
The Council has an ongoing 6 month' evaluation process that must be presented to the
Bd. of Commissioners for its major fundirig support. Additionally, photographic docu-
mentation is made of each event, workshop, etc. and filed. Our major program (Oakland
Arts Academy) will be evaluated by the teachers and schools involved, as well as the
participants.
Small Arts Objective #2
a) Community Support: Dollar-wise the Oakland County "community" supports 5/6ths
of our budget through its taxes, the remaining portion from the Michigan Council for th
Arts' operational support traditionally. Participatory support includes all art organi
zations, schools, libraries, and one individual from each community representing and
acting as a liaison to the Council. The Council's Board consists of art and education
leaders from Oakland County communities as well. Our community support continues to
grow as we team with service organizations: 4-H, Youth Assistance, Parks and Recreation
United Way, etc. Recent involvement with Cable TV and radio has enhanced our communica
tion netkrk. 3-gDs

Small Arts Objective #3
a) Artistic Leadership: Twenty leaders in the areas of the arts, includinn representat
ion from Cranbrook, Birmingham Bloomfield Art Association, Detroit Symphony, State
Library Board, Oakland University (Meadowbrook), Cranbrook Youth Theatre, six respectec
artists and four members involved in art in education make up our Council. They act
as an advisory board and policy-making body,
b) Program Quality: We are a service organization, but frequently sponsor MCA work-
shops, seminars on arts education, or related artists-needs. Our exhibits (18 per year)
as part of our Arts in Public Places program serve to educate, help the individual artis
or arts organization; enlighten the public in ethnic art; increase audience participa-
tion in the arts, particularly seniors, children, and the developmentally disabled.
Our program of communication in the arts increases in quality and reachs more and more
c) Financial support to Michigan Artists (summarize Section 4.1): each year.
As a service organization we provide: one of the finest areas of exhibit space at the
County Galleria, and space with high traffic area (Courthouse). No commission is taken
for any sales, press releases and publicity is our responsibility, as well as all printi
and exhibition costs. Also we offer the visual and performing artist all services of
the Center: accountants, legal. tax, Communication through our calendar and ARTSLINE &

We answer ALL funding objectives except direct funding to the artist or arts organizatic
We exclude NO person or organization (except profit) in our programs or Service and havf
opened our communication network to include other areas (than Oakland County) inasmuch
Detroit and many other surrounding areas are dependent upon Oakland County residents for
audience participation.
Re arts support: The Council wrote and presented (through Representative Judith Miller

z ens state income tax forms) for consideration 1985. The bill is so written to return
monies collected to the county from whence it came. This will encourage arts organizati
tn lobby in their areas for a positive response, and thus creating an environment of
artspersons working together for a common cause.
Indirectly we assist artists and arts organizations in all services the county offers
without charge, offer many means of communication for their events, offer facilities
for meetings, workshops, etc., provide space for exhibitions of arts and crafts as an
on-going program; seek additional programs•in the schools using artists, architects, etc
and particularly schools for the underprivileged and incarcerated; provide assistance
in grants-writing and research with a professional grantswriter and the County research
library; seek out the ethnic arts for exhibit here at the County and for a "sharing' prc
gram throughout our one million + residents. All the above represent or indirect finar
3.3 Organization's Goal for FY 1986: al support, but direct support tor otaer needs.
Upon assessment of the feasibility study for an Oakland Arts Academy (supplemental arts
program in the schools), plans are being finalized for a) securing an existing facility
and its subsequent restoration, b)enlisting' the services of quality artists as instructc
and c) administering and coordinating the program with Oakland Schools Intermediate Schc
District for all of Oakland schools.

3.4 Organization's Objectives for FY 1986:
(include objective for fundraising)
Re goals (3.3) for FY 1986 and their funding .: .
1. Oakland Arts Academy: The facility is being sought after for $1 from the State of
Michigan (is a state-owned historic chapel, tailor-made for our needs with two stages,
exhibition space, meeting space and educational needs). The renovation and restoration
will be sought through "brick and mortar" funds with Kresca/K-Mart. The ongoing fundin
needs will be sought after with a utility bill "check-of"; the participating schools;
and the administrative services of Oakland County have been committed for that purpose.
2. A volunteer program coordinated through our Council with music/drama teachers in Oaklan
schools and their students. The post office and library personnel lists have been com-
pleted, and we perceive no costs other than publicity and printing which are an ongoing
part of our Cultural Council line itemmed budget.
3. Art in Architecture in the Schools. This program, too, will be voluntary and has had
a successful pilot venture using volunteers in Pontiac. The coordination will be by
the Cultural Council working with the Michigan Society of Architects, the Cultural
Affairs Director of Oakland County, and Oakland Schools.
4. The computerized listing of artists and their addresses in a Southeastern Michigan
registry is an ongoing service of the Oakland County Cultural _Council and is funded
by our yearly budget, throUgh the Oakland County and with a grant for operational
. support from the Michigan Council for the Arts (1984-5)
5. The "How-To" publication for other Michigan counties will be part of our budget with
a line item "Printing", and again contingent upon Oakland County and the MCA.
6. torporate solicitation for the Tactile Exhibit will cortinue, heretofore unsuccessful.
3.5 Organization's Implementation Plan for FY 1986:
1. Oakland Arts Academy: All answered previously with the exception of "where" - Pontiac,
2. "Art in Public Places-Music and Mime" : All answered previously except"where", and
initially it will be Oakland County community libraries and post offices, and/or bank
buildings, etc inasmuch as our majority funding is from these tax payers.
3. Art in Architecture in the Schools: Implementation answered above, but will primarily
again be in Oakland County as the Oakland County Cultural Council will initially coor-
dinate the program with Oakland Schools INtermeaiate District. It is hoped that the
Michigan Society of Architects will then publicize it as a worthwhile state-wide projec
4. Answered above
5. Using our "success" story, providing budgets, resolutions, structure of organization,
programs offered, services available through county offices, etc. we will prepare this
requested program for other counties in Michigan. This will provide, as we do, a centi
coordinated communications network for county arts organizations, libraries, artists,
etc. which can offer the many programs and services established as a nearly ten year
success story!
6. The Tactile Exhibit represents 18 fine Michigan sculptors and their tactile artworks
.available as a travelling exhibit, with host art centers, utilizing the efforts of the
Lions' Club, the Farmington Library (Braille program), volunteers, and the coordinatim
of the Cultural Council together with Oakland Schools. The exhibit will not only be av,

Implementation needs: a corporate donor to "buy" the pieces (Michigarta.M;jst direct
assistance), fund the exhibit needs, and hopefully donate the exhibit toC -tlie Detroit In]
of Arts, following its Outreach program throughout Michigan (via the ARTRAIN).
3,6 Evaluation Plan:
Describe: The OCCC is an organization of county-wide communication and involvement and
does not exclude any individual or non-orOfit organization, nor are its programs exclusive
to Oakland County, although inasmuch as our funding is primarily from Oakland County, our
concentration is there, of course.
All programs are given press coverage, radio, media/news, and T.V. All are listed in our
quarterly Calendar of Events and weekly "i-RTSLINE", a taped message. Workshops, seminars,
etc. offered through our extensive registry of artists and arts organizations, and through

We constantly seek minority, ethnic art and artists so that we can aid them but also
importantly can educate through our exhibits. We have shown Inuit, Black, American Indian,
"Sumi-e", Hungarian, Senior Art Exhibit; VOCARE, Asian dancers, etc. _
We work with the Minority Affairs Department of the County and in previous years have pro-
vided performing and visual artists for every ethnic group in a "fair" setting on the County
grounds. Individual artists have exhibited their work here, as well as sought assistance
in job hunting, grants writing, legal aide and tax problemns. A considerable percentage of
these artists or organizations were from minority groups or special constituencies. We -also
have a strong program of "accessibility to the arts with dignity", offering a program of
good design for the handicapped narrated by Itzhak Perlman (part of our Speakers Bureau).
In addition to our "resource representatives " from each community, we have a "special
representative" to the handicapped, Hispanic, Black, Asian, Italian communities, and these
persons are committed to providing us with exhibits and performances during these exhibits
from their respective groups.
Our handicapped person inspects each 'presentation to assure us that we hav. 4!19. best possi-
ble accessibility available, and with the exception of the ARTRAIN (hosted iic1982), we do
provide easy access. In the exceptional case, our maintenance people built a special ramp
for wheelchairs*. (*only the smallest and narrowest wheelchairs can be accomodated gn the
ARTRAIN, it should be noted. Until we prOVided this 'check", apparently no one had!)

OAKLAND
COUNTY
CULTURAL
COUNCIL
HISTORY
The Oakland County Cultural Council is the first arts council created
by a County Board of Commissioners in the State of Michigan.
In April 1975 the Oakland County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution
which created and funded this Council.
The Council's purpose is to coordinate the cultural activities in Oak-
land County. Its goal is to enhance communication and cooperation between
the many groups providing cultural opportunities in the County's communities,
and to broaden still further the reach of these experiences.
The Council is comprised of twenty appointees representing the arts,
appointed by County Executive Daniel T. Murphy, with the support of the
Oakland County Board of Commissioners and funded in part by a grant from the
Michigan Council for the Arts.
The Council is made possible by the support of Daniel T. Murphy, County Executive with the
Oakland County Board of Commissioners and a grant from the Michigan Council for the Arts.

OAKLAND ARTS ACADEMY
_Mission:
To enhance opportunities for learning in the arts for children
and youth;
To provide opportunities for artists to practice their arts;
To improve the quality of life in Oakland County;
To increase the support base for further initiatives in the arts.
Oakland County possesses rich artistic resources, widely distributed throughout the
county. Our children and youth are also distributed throughout the 900 plus
square miles . Transportation costs the structure of the school day, the
lack of common scheduling , as well as other reasons, mitigate against a
centralized effort in arts education. Currently school districts are still
finding it difficult to fund a wide range of opportunities for their varied
student populations. Interest in the arts is high, and is growing.
What is proposed is to utilize an arts apprentice and subcontracting approach
to create an operational concept, the Oakland Arts Academy.
The Academy would use certain identifiers, as well as a coordinating council
to provide some structure and cohesiveness to the endeavor. The proposal
contemplates an Academy which would function after school hours evenings, and
weekends. By identifying desired activities and by subcontracting with
practicing artists the Academy would provide for varied opportunities throughout
our geographical area.
It is further proposed that the Academy be funded throuoh a fiscal initiative
with Detroit Edison and/or Consumers Power. It is suggested that we seek to have
the opportunity to designate a month, not April, as Arts Month, when individuals
could designate an amount from 1 to 5, or more, dollars to be added to their
bill—to be ,forwarded to the Academy's fiscal agent. - -
The Academy would function with a minimum of staff. It seems to be desirable to
have a geographic home base. To this end it is suggested the we investigate
the possibility of acquiring the Chapel at Clinton Valley . This would
accomplish two things, perhaps three; it would save that lovely building.
Two it would give the Academy a homebase, and thridly, it would provide
a site conducive to performances and to exhibits, as well as workshops.
It is estimated that it would require approximately 100,000 dollars to
200,000 dollars to rehabilitate the building for such uses.
As to which specific areas of the arts might be supported, all are feasible,
though some thought ought to be given to.establishing a set of criteria
which would maximize participation and extend opportunities. It will be
necessary to carefully define the intents and the populations to be served
within the context of .a longrange developmental plan.
Part of the requirement for any subcontract would be th necessity to have a
performance, demonstration, showing, or exhibit in some public place.
This would provide an opportunity for public participation in the Academy,
and help to build support both for it, and the arts in general.

Dear Council:
It is with pleasure that we note the efforts and cooperation of the
Oakland County Cultural Council. The Council, and Mrs. Rodgers have
been both active and supportive of arts initiatives in Oakland Schools
constituency. They have initiated, participated or supported such en-
deavors as:
Architecture in the Schools
(a pilot program in Pontiac)
The Bloomin' Arts Festival
Summer Arts Academy
The Oakland Academy
(serving gifted and talented)..
Currently, the Council is exploring additional initiatives that
will enhance the opportunities for young people to have access to and to
participate in the arts in their many forms: We plan to support the
Oakland County Cultural Council in its attempt to mount a feasibility
study for an Oakland Arts Academy. We feel that such an enterprise may
be the only cost effective vehicle for enhancing a broad range of artis-
tic opportunities for youth.
It is our hope that you will see fit to support and further the ac-
tivities of the Council, both now and in the future.

To Whom It May Concern:
It is with great pleasure and appreciation that I am sharing
information relative to opportunities the Michigan 4-H - Youth
Programs has had to work in conjunction with the Oakland Cultural
Council. For the past four years with the assistance of Oakland
County Cultural Council, the statewide 4-H Art program has
provide quality art education experiences, focused on technical
assistance training for Michigan youth, adult and artisans.
Tiaining workshop have been designed to enhance local art leaders
and organizations in the development and delivery of experiencial
art activities.
Virginia Rogers has represented the Oakland County Cultural Council
locally and as a member of the State 4-H Art Developmental Committee.
The State Committee is charged with the mission of orchestrating
art programming efforts. Virginia's contribution has been
instrumental in the integration of the Visual Arts component
into our total informal eduation program.
I wholeheartily support the endeavors of the Oakland County
Cultural Council and look forward to our continuing working
relationship.
Sincerely,

Mr. E. Ray Scott, Director

Dear Mr. Scott:
On behalf of the membership of the Oakland County Youth
Assistance Advisory Council, 1 would like to take this opportunity to
register my full support and endorsement of the excellent work that is
being done here in Oakland County by the Oakland County Cultural
Council.
We are in direct contact with Mrs. Rogers, the staff director of the
Cultural Council, and we have been most pleased by the many
accomplishments that have been made possible through the Cultural
Council that have benefited the community and especially young people
throughout Oakland County.
In particular, we can think of the direct support Mrs. Rogers and the
Cultural Council has given to our efforts of encouraging further
exploration of careers in the various art fields, which has resulted, with
Mrs. Rogers help, in development of very productive educational seminars
for local teachers and actual career exploration outings to take a look at
the arts - that has directly benefited students in Oakland County.
We are fully in support of this program and we certainly feel the
support of the Oakland County Cultural Council by the Michigan Council
for the Arts is certainly money well spent in every respect.

To Whom It May Concern:
Camp Oakland has been involved with the Oakland County
Cultural Council and its supportive programs for our
residents in past years. This has included both grant
writing assistance and numerous art appreciation courses
for the residents in our Work Education Program, who
otherwise would not have received any instruction in
the arts.
I feel that the programs have made considerable impact
on our residents and hope that the support can continue
and that the Michigan Council of the Arts will continue
with their funding assistance.
Sincerely,
