LYNN MORGAN DESIGN

A Creative Business Member
Principal: Lynn Morgan

Lynn Morgan Design (LMD)’s philosophy for decorating is a clean, crisp, fresh look with a touch of whimsy – all while maintaining a traditional feel. Lynn and her team offer a fun and personalized approach to each client and project. When asked to characterize her decorating style, Lynn responds "That's a difficult question but I'd say my 'hallmark' is what I'd describe as refined simplicity with dashes of color and modernism - but sophisticated. Although I'd characterize my taste as traditional, I do have great appreciation for contemporary details and how they contribute to the overall design effect." Established over 20 years ago in Rowayton, LMD's projects have been primarily in Metropolitan New York, Connecticut and vacation properties in Nantucket, Vermont, Martha's Vineyard, Palm Beach, and the Rockies. LMD has been recognized as one of America's top design firms by House Beautiful magazine and has been featured in almost every top shelter magazine. Published projects have been featured in Coastal Living, CT Cottage & Gardens, Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Renovation Style & Traditional Home. Additionally Lynn has been featured in Colefax & Fowlers Interior Transformation, East Coast Rooms by Anne Kasabian and A&E Television Special "Beautiful Decorating" featuring Lynn's own home. Lynn is also listed in the Franklin Report. See LMD's website, Facebook page and Pinterest.

ROUND-UP OF MEMBERS' NEWS
The Bruce Museum has two important new hires (worthy of two entries here). First Kirstein Reinhardt is the new Bruce Museum Registrar, taking over from Jack Coyle. A former guest curator at the Bruce, Kirsten is now responsible for managing the Museum’s permanent collection and organizing the arrival and return of loaned works of art to and from the Museum. Kirsten has degrees in Anthropology and Museum Studies from Beloit College and Brown University, and is also a Registered Professional Archaeologist, having worked as a field archaeologist at IVI International in White Plains, NY. Kirsten comes to the Bruce from the Stamford Museum & Nature Center, where she served as the Curator of Collections & Exhibitions since 2012. We all look forward to working with Kirsten in her new capacity!
 
The Bruce Museum also welcomes Scott Smith as its new Director of Marketing and Communications. Over the past decade, Scott has served as a communications director for nonprofit organizations at both the national and regional level, including the United States Golf Association, the Westport Weston Family YMCA, and the Stamford Museum & Nature Center. Before entering the nonprofit world, he enjoyed a 30-year career as a staff writer and editor for a variety of magazines, including Business Week, People, Bon Appetit, and Golf Digest. Scott studied at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the University of Warwick, in England, en route to earning a B.A. degree in English Literature from the University of California, Berkeley. Scott resides with his son in Westport, Connecticut, where he is active in local community affairs. Welcome to you Scott!
Fairfield Museum, with the Black Rock History Committee, helped rescue a large mural by renowned local WPA artist Robert Lambdin. Old Black Rock Harbor About 1810 (photograph above) was commissioned by the Black Rock Bank & Trust Company in the mid-1940s and remained on display there until this year, when it was removed prior to the building undergoing a complete renovation. "Through the generosity of the building’s new owner Tom Quinn, this important part of Black Rock’s artistic history has been donated to the Fairfield Museum and will be preserved for future generations," noted Fairfield Museum executive director Michael Jehle.

Greater Bridgeport Youth Orchestras (GBYO) has hired Jim Royle as one of four new instructors, as the orchestras grow like topsy. Currently with 333 students, GBYO has added two new ensembles, including a second jazz band and a dedicated percussion ensemble to be conducted by internationally recognized percussionist Royle, who runs the Jim Royle Drum Studio. Other new conductors include Royle's partner Brian Ente (at right with Royle),  Geoff Brooks and Greg Hoyt. (More...)
The Greenwich Arts Council (GAC) welcomed its new Executive Director, Jack Coyle back in July. Jack had been Registrar at the Bruce Museum, since 2005. He had worked in the Registrar's Departments of the Guggenheim Museum and the Wadsworth Atheneum, before becoming Registrar at the Berkeley Art Museum at U.C. Berkeley. Later, he organized exhibitions for Independent Curators Inc. in New York, many of which were presented at the Bruce, which, he says, is how he became acquainted with the Museum. Now as the new leader of GAC, he’s looking forward to generally raising its profile and of its home in the Old Town Hall, which is preparing for the 30th anniversary of its designation as an National Historic Landmark by the Department of the Interior. We welcome Jack and look forward to working even closer with the Arts Council.
The Greenwich Historical Society invites local students in all grades to submit a 1-2 paragraph essay or artwork by Oct. 27, describing their hopes, dreams, and predictions for what Greenwich will be like in 50 years for a time capsule that will become part of its newly constructed museum and archive building. Affectionately named Elizabeth for Greenwich's founding mother Elizabeth Feake, the capsule will be installed at a public event on November 4. The top three submissions will be published in Greenwich Magazine and two runners up will receive a family membership to the Society. 
Isabella Garrucho Fine Art, not long ago new to its current Greenwich address, at 40 West Putnam Avenue, is expanding into New York and across Connecticut. First, Isabella is celebrating her newest location in the Anthony Laurence Showroom in Long Island City, Mon. Oct. 9, 6-9pm, with a cocktail reception for a solo exhibition of works by renowned photographer David Yarrow, on the occasion of his newest book, Wild Encounters. Later, Isabella will announce another outpost in Washington, CT.
The Norwalk Public Library has released its first online records - with images - from its History Room Online Database. The first release is of postcards of Norwalk scenes, most dating from the beginning of the 20th century. While you can search the database you can also click on "random images" to browse the collection. The Library will follow these with regular additions from its collection of thousands of documents and photographs. The history room and archive combines the library's former Local History Collection with the archival collections of the former Norwalk Museum. The lower level of the main library building at 1 Belden Avenue houses this large array of published and unpublished books and papers, photographs and maps, among other materials, recording over 300 years of Norwalk history.
Stamford's Project Music is working together again with Domus, as they have done since 2014, at the Chester Addison Community Center. This first week of October, students at Trailblazers Academya charter school run by Domus, received musical instruments and took their first lessons as part of a new Trailblazers Band. Through a combination of in-school and after-school classes, sixty new students have been inducted into the program, and receive two 45-minute lessons per week. The Trailblazers band expects to begin making public performances within this first school year.
Sandra Morgan, dismayed by the cessation of New York Times arts coverage of Greenwich (and Connecticut), was subsequently thrilled when her curator's new show, Punch & Sizzle, carried the front page of Greenwich Time this past Wednesday. Camilla Cook, at right, associate art director for SM Home Art Gallery stands by the works of artists Katie Re Scheidt and Beth Munro (to be featured in an artists talk, Nov. 14) two of the five artists that "pack a punch" in the show.

UNCHARTERED TERRITORY

This communication from Gian-Carl Casa, President and CEO of The CT Community Nonprofit Alliance is a strong statement that stands for all nonprofits: "Our collective voice has been loud this year in demanding that people served by nonprofits be a budget priority. We should be heartened by our progress in many areas - it means your message is getting through. ❡ But we are in uncharted territory. It is October, there is no state budget, and nobody seems to know when or if one will be coming soon. ❡ One reason we are in this situation is that policy makers see Connecticut in a precarious position and they hold conflicting, firm beliefs about the right path. For example, there are legislators who believe broad-based tax increases are necessary, while others believe those same taxes would be harmful. Although their intentions are good, legislators are digging in their heels, resulting in the stalemate with which we are dealing. ❡ Elected officials are balancing competing demands for limited resources - from towns and their boards of education, hospitals, businesses, public employees and others. The budgets proposed so far have had different priorities. But one thing they have in common is restoring funding for nonprofits, each in different areas. Your advocacy is working. ❡ As this battle continues, it is easy to become tired and fed-up with the political jockeying and instead concentrate solely on the difficult business of providing services in the face of budget cuts. After all, you've spoken to your legislators and they should know the stakes for you and the people you serve. ❡ But now is not the time to waver in our advocacy. Other groups will not give up as this drags on. If we are to be a budget priority, we must continue to be one of the loudest voices in Hartford❡ For this reason, I ask that you redouble your efforts. Set aside some time today to again ask your staff, board members, the people you serve and their families to pick up the phone, write a letter or send an email. 1. Use the Find  Your Legislator tool, 2. Use the CT Arts Alliance Advocacy How-To tips, and 3. Tell your story about why sustaining funding for the arts and humanities is crucial to the well-being and economic viability of your community and that of the state's.
❡ You have probably contacted legislators already but there is no substitute for constituents telling legislators real stories about the importance of state-funded services and what those services mean to people in their districts. Legislators on both ends of the political spectrum want to help the communities they were elected to represent. Let's tell them how to do that.

ARTS & PROSPERITY 5 TOUR
RANDY COHEN
NOV. 29 - DEC. 1

Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 (AEP5) is Americans for the Arts’ fifth study of the nonprofit arts and culture industry's impact on the economy. Nationally, the nonprofit arts and culture industry generated $166.3 billion of economic activity during 2015, and here in Connecticut the Arts and Culture Industry generated $797,249,391 in economic activity in 2015! Randy Cohen, Vice President of Research and Policy at Americans for the Arts, the nation's advocacy organization for the arts will be visiting Connecticut to talk about the national study and provide regional and statewide insight into the economic contributions of the arts and culture industry across Connecticut. Details about where and when he will be visiting within the window of Nov. 29-Dec. 1 still have to be finalized - so stay tuned for details. A member of the staff since 1991, Randy stands out as a noted expert in the field of arts funding, research, policy, and using the arts to address community development issues. He recently published Americans Speak Out About the Arts, a national study about the public’s opinions and participation in the arts. He publishes The National Arts Index, the annual measure of the health and vitality of arts as well as the two premier economic studies of the arts industry—Arts & Economic Prosperity, the national impact study of nonprofit arts organizations and their audiences; and Creative Industries, an annual mapping study of the nation’s 703,000 arts establishments and their employees. A sought after speaker, Randy has given speeches in 49 states, and regularly appears in the news media—including the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and on C-SPAN, CNN, CNBC, and NPR.  Subscribe to the Connecticut Office of the Arts' newsletter for Connecticut’s AEP5 Tour updates and follow #AEP5 for a broad perspective of the national conversation.
RESOURCES AND
PUT MBA STUDENTS TO WORK ON YOUR MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE

The Center for Not-for-Profit Organizations at Sacred Heart University's Jack Welch College of Business puts MBA students to work on your nonprofit management challenges. Consulting projects are conducted by teams of students as an integral component of their capstone course prior to graduation. Projects are completed over 12 weeks of the semester, with a final presentation and detailed report provided at the conclusion. Projects are tailored to the specific business and management needs of the client and supervised by the professor teaching the course. Projects cover a range of business issues and opportunities. Past topics have included: financial modeling, strategic plans, social media strategy, marketing and communication plans, training, economic impact analysis, financial analysis and reporting systems and market opportunity analysis. Projects are intended to provide information and recommendations that will make a difference on how each client conducts its business and achieves its mission. While the purpose of the Center is to assist nonprofits achieve their goals and service the greater needs of the community, each project should provide the MBA students with the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills they have developed during their course of study. How it Works:
A CFNPO board member works with each nonprofit to define the project and agree on the final "deliverable". Projects are reviewed by the board and a final "go-no go" decision is made. Approved projects are completed during the three trimesters that make up the academic year: Fall (September-December), Spring (January-March) and late Spring (April-June). Student teams are selected for each project based on the subject and the expertise required. All students have committed to the rigorous academic program that makes up the Welch MBA. Clients are asked to participate in defining the project so that a clear “deliverable” that will make a difference is identified. The teams work best when there is a point of contact at the client so that progress can be discussed throughout the project. We ask clients to be available to the teams during the project to answer questions and provide data and background information as needed. How to Apply: Applications are accepted throughout the calendar year. Call 203-371-7853, requesting a board member to contact you, or complete the online application at www.sacredheart.edu/CFNPO and clicking on the Apply for Assistance tab.
