ARTS COUNCILS/COMMISSIONS CONVENE
The Cultural Alliance is convening 13 of our local arts councils and arts commissions from the coastal Fairfield County area on December 5th. The Greenwich Arts Council has generously offered to host the meeting which will have as its agenda an effort to understand the often very different origins, mandates, budgets and missions of these (mostly) municipal organizations. It is hoped this may become an annual or semi-annual meeting and help unify the kinds of cultural support offered by individual towns.
CULTURAL ALLIANCE WELCOMES NEW BOARD MEMBER

ART AS TREATMENT: DOCTORS PRESCRIBE ART, DANCE, MUSIC

Smithsonian Magazine reports on an initiative in the UK, unveiled this month by British Health Secretary Matt Hancock that should soon enable British doctors to prescribe therapeutic art - or hobby-based treatments for ailments ranging from dementia to psychosis, lung conditions, and mental health issues.  The U.K. calls this strategy "social prescribing" and explains, for instance: Engagement with the arts museums, and creative practice can help people become more connected. “We’ve been fostering a culture that’s popping pills and Prozac, when what we should be doing is more prevention and perspiration,” said Matt Hancock. “Social prescribing can help us combat over-medicalising people.” This proposal comes on the heels of a larger preventative health scheme, providing for the creation of a National Academy for Social Prescribing that will ensure general practitioners, across the country are equipped to guide patients to an array of hobbies, sports and arts groups. The medical benefits of  the arts are well-recorded: a collaboration between the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and stroke survivors living in Hull, England, encouraged patients to play instruments, conduct and perform; 90% of participants reported improvements in their physical and mental health. In Lambeth, dance lessons have been shown to improve concentration and communication skills amongst those displaying early signs of psychosis, and in Gloucestershire, hospitals have begun to refer individuals with lung conditions to singing sessions. The Baring Foundation and Campaign to End Loneliness have made a specific call for recognition and support for the role that arts can play in reducing loneliness. The Smithsonian Magazine adds that "social prescribing" is intended to complement rather than replace more traditional forms of treatment and is projected to be employed across the U.K. by 2023.
NEA REPORT SUBSTANTIATES ARTS PARTICIPATION IS UP

The National Endowment for the Arts report, U.S. Trends in Arts Attendance and Literary Reading: 2002-2017 shows substantial gains in arts attendance totals, rates, and demographic groups, plus sizable growth in poetry-reading. It's a first look at results from the 2017 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA), a collaboration between the NEA and the U.S. Census Bureau. The 2017 SPPA findings for arts attendance compare well with the 2012 results. Between 2012 and 2017, the share of adults who attended visual or performing arts activities grew by 3.6% to 132.3 million people, representing 54% of the U.S. adult population. Performing arts events range from dance to theater performances while visual arts events include going to art museums, galleries, and craft festivals. Most of the increase in this survey came from visiting art museums or galleries and the “informal” arts sector that includes outdoor performing arts festivals and touring places for their design or historic value. Also scoring high is attending “other” performing arts events: rap and hip hop, country music, rock, or folk music events. An area of substantial growth in the 2017 findings is reading poetry. Between 2012 and 2017, the rate of poetry-reading among adults grew by 76%, to 28 million people in 2017. (18-24-year-olds who read poetry more than doubled; women reading poetry increased from 8% in 2012 to 14.5% in 2017; and African Americans grew by 8.4%. In the performing arts, 106.8 million people attended in 2017, up 3.2% from 2012. Other art forms (musicals and non-musical plays, classical music, jazz, ballet and other dance performances, opera, and Latin/Spanish/ salsa music) saw attendance hold steady despite a 5% population growth. In 2017, 102.5 million adults attended visual arts events, an increase of 3.3%. The share of adults who visited art museums or galleries grew by nearly 13% from 2012 to 2017, totaling 57.5 million people in 2017. The most significant increases occurred for African Americans, 18-24-year-olds, and 35-54-year-olds. See summary report here.
