Proposal Description

PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION
The project of this grant application is the Coral Gables Congregational Church (CGCC) Community Arts Program 2012 Summer Concert Series & Young Musicians’ Summer Master Classes. Entering its 27th year in 2012, the Summer Concert Series has become an eagerly-anticipated staple within Florida's cultural landscape. Presented during the down-time summer months of many South Florida arts organizations, the Series offers a unique and intimate concert experience within the historic Coral Gables Congregational Church. Reasonably-priced tickets (starting at $15 with free tickets to upwards of 300 youth) provide an accessible cultural outing for many. Every other Thursday evening (June 7 - August 16), the Series offers a total of six exceptional world-class artists who encompass the music genres of classical and jazz. Additionally, four master classes on four post-concert Friday mornings expose children to one-on-one sessions with Summer Concert Series artists, coachings and learning about the process of preparation and performance in the 21st century. 2012 proposed concert artists are Dirty Dozen Brass Band (6/7); violinist Gil Shaham (6/21); jazz vocalist/guitarist John Pizzarelli (7/5), The Los Angeles Guitar Quartet (7/19), jazz vocalist Kurt Elling (8/2), and jazz pianist Chick Corea (8/16).

PLEASE NOTE: The CGCC Community Arts Program Summer Concert Series offers a total of six concerts and four Master Classes (June 7, 2012-August 17, 2012). However, the date parameters of this State grant application allow funding for four 2012 Summer Concert Series Thursday evening concert dates: July 5 & 19 and August 2 & 16. In addition, the grant allows funding for three Friday morning master class dates: July 20 and August 3 & 17. This is a total of seven events covered through this grant.

GOALS
As part of the Coral Gables Congregational Church (CGCC) Community Arts Program, the goal of the 2012 Summer Concert Series (27th Season) and Young Musicians' Summer Master Classes is to provide high-quality cultural and educational experiences that uplift the spirit, life and thinking of the entire Miami-Dade County diverse community of adults and youth. The objectives, activities, and support materials contained within this grant application uphold this.

OBJECTIVES
The specific measurable objectives of the proposed project are the following:

1) Exposure to high-quality concert and educational experiences, regardless of one’s sex, race, color, national origin, religion, disability, age or marital status;
2) Affordable pricing for high-quality experiences;
3) Cultural education and enrichment for children;
4) Maximize awareness within all sectors of Miami-Dade County;
5) Carry out project activities within an accessible and well-staffed facility.

ACTIVITIES
The activities that meet the objectives of the proposed project are the following:

1) Four Thursday evening concerts offering renowned artists presenting music rooted in classical and jazz music genres;
2) Three Friday morning Young Musicians' Master Classes offered to youth (ages 8-18) and taught by a cadre of artists appearing on the Summer Concert Series;
3) Reasonable concert and Young Musicians’ Summer Master Classes admission rates;
4) Free concert tickets and master class scholarships to financially-challenged youth;
5) An extensive and targeted marketing strategy designed to pique awareness throughout the diverse cross-sections of Miami-Dade County;
6) A fully ADA-compliant project venue and trained in-kind volunteer staff.

EVALUATION
The project’s evaluation hinges upon five key measurement tools that collect objective information and data to interpret and analyze for program expansion and improvement. The avenues for collection and interpretation include the following:

1) Critical reviews by press;
2) Public reaction by way of verbal and written comments via written survey (an inquiry into demographics, psychographics, marketing source, and artist preferences). This survey holds a 93% rate of completion and return;*
3) Excel- and Access-based database tracking systems that measure ticket distribution, demographics, and attendance;
4) Follow-up meetings which involve strategic outside sources that include private and government cultural and educational officials, community leaders, and students (particularly students ages 8-18) who represent the project’s diverse population;
5) Post-concert follow-up meetings engaging the Advisory Board and administrative staff of the CGCC Community Arts Program.

(See sample CONCERT SURVEY included within SUPPORT MATERIALS.)

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE
Concerts and master classes are implemented through three primary areas:

(1) FUNDRAISING: May 2011 - May 2012 Funding sources are identified, evaluated and applied to. (Sources include local, state, federal and foundation grant sources). Sept. 2011- Fundraising letter and contribution form formulated and sent to Summer Concert Series patrons and leads acquired from most recent and past Summer Concert Series surveys. (2) ARTIST SELECTION & FEE NEGOTIATION: May 2011 - Jan. 2012 A “wish-list” of approx. 18 artist units is formulated. May 2011 - Jan. 2012 Artists’ managements are queried as to the availability of artists; we are placed on a prospect list for routing considerations (an early and consistent relationship with artists’ management helps to prompt a routing of an artist and the best fee possible within our budget). Jan. 2012 - March 2012 Final negotiations with managements are made and a final roster of Summer Concert Series performers and master class teachers is secured. (3) MARKETING & ADVERTISING: March 2012 - August 2012 The extensive amount of marketing done involves the most intricate planning and warrants the need for a more detailed timeline.

(See "Detailed Marketing Plan and Timeline" in SUPPORT MATERIALS.)

Culture Builds Florida's Future

1. Strengthening the Economy

   As its mission states, the Community Arts Program seeks to serve a diverse community by providing educational and culturally-enriching experiences through the transforming power of the arts. The cornerstone belief of the CGCC Community Arts Program strategy is that a high-quality cultural and education product piques the well being of a community merely through its existence within that community. And, programs that offer enticing avenues for cultural and educational enrichment create a demand for additional cultural services in local and outlying communities. CGCC Community Arts Program value lies in its creation of cultural demand through a high-quality product that seeks to break through socio-economic and ethnic barriers, thus availing itself to children and adults despite their circumstance. With this in mind, the CGCC Community Arts Program is in some way aligned to each goal within Florida’s statewide strategic plan.

   ECONOMIC STRENGTH
   One result of a high-quality product is increased discretionary spending (e.g., dining, travel, accommodations) by audiences and presenters, thereby creating economic fortitude. The Summer Concert Series sparks additional discretionary spending by its attendees (e.g., pre- and post-concert dining). Additionally, the CGCC Summer Concert Series chooses Florida vendors (e.g., concession, backline and printing). Each of these adds to Florida’s economic strength.

2. Learning and Wellness

   PROMOTON OF LEARNING AND WELLNESS
   The Summer Concert Series presents the finest artists within the world’s of classical and jazz music. From them, audiences experience the transforming power of the arts (as outlined in our mission statement). The CGCC Community Arts Program takes great pride in being a catapult for the wellness, learning and self discovery that culture provides. Moreover, the opportunity to instill healthy learning experiences early on is valuable and crucial to sustaining future cultural demand and wellness. The Young Musicians’ Summer Master Classes foster that through one-on-one dialogue and training (by artists who appear on the Summer Concert Series) to 500 students each summer (based on 2010 data).

3. Building Leadership

   BUILDING LEADERSHIP
   Healthy alternatives create greater self esteem for well-tuned leadership. The CGCC Community Arts Program considers itself a platform supporting this through (1) educationally and culturally-enriching concerts and master classes and (2) offering youth and adult volunteer opportunities (e.g., ushering, ticket sales, marketing support, fundraising, outreach planning) that help to foster valuable leadership skills. In 2011, we engaged a staff of 43 volunteers spanning the ages of 17 & 75. This constructed a great cross-generational mentorship/leadership paradigm. Additionally, the CGCC Community Arts Program 17-member ALL-STAR Jazz Ensemble (ages 14-17 of South Florida youth) was the opening act for the first concert of the 2010 Summer Concert Series featuring the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and the opening act for the first concert of the 2011 Summer Concert Series with the Count Basie Orchestra. Undeniably, these opportunities--for children and adults--raise the bars of leadership potential and self efficacy.

4. Design and Development

   DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
   Overall, volunteer opportunities (e.g., Concert Series ushering, ticket sales, marketing support, fundraising, outreach planning) and Young Musicians’ Summer Master Classes help CGCC Community Arts Program administration and board to discover areas for development. One example of this is our newly-formed ALL-STAR Jazz Ensemble. This was born out of the Young Musicians’ Summer Master Classes. From these master classes, we saw the need and demand for a wider, creative outlet for youth to also experience—throughout the remainder of the year—the exposure, skills, cultural diversity and richness found within the art form of jazz (in addition to those also found within our classically-oriented Junior, Intermediate and Advanced Young Musicians’ Orchestras).

Proposal Impact

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The result of a high-quality product is increased corollary discretionary spending (e.g., dining, travel, accommodations) by audiences and presenters, thereby creating economic fortitude. The CGCC Community Arts Program sparks additional discretionary spending by its attendees (e.g., pre- and post-concert dining) within the local community. Additionally, the CGCC Summer Concert Series chooses Florida vendors (e.g., concession, backline and printing). Each of these adds to Florida’s economic strength.

EDUCATION & OUTREACH
Free tickets to the CGCC Community Arts Program Summer Concert Series are made available to students throughout Miami-Dade County. Student tickets provided each season are on the average of 300. Additionally, complimentary tickets are given to organizations that provide humanitarian services to the community. One such recipient of free Summer Concert Series tickets is the Miami Rescue Mission, Inc. The Miami Rescue Mission provides a "Regeneration Program" that offers life-changing opportunities for men who suffer from life-controlling problems such as homelessness, chemical abuse or addiction, medical and mental issues, illiteracy, and lack of adequate job skills. Summer Concert Series tickets give added value to the rehabilitation efforts of the Miami Rescue Mission, and organizations like it.

The CGCC Community Arts Program also provides Summer Music Shout Outs! to over 75 students identified through its Breakthrough Miami. The Summer Music Shout Outs! include (1) three weekly 45-minute lessons on students’ chosen instrument (i.e., violin, viola, cello, bass, piano, guitar, voice, or percussion) and music theory; (2) two-hour weekly Peer Shout Outs! (peer pep rallies where students perform for each other) to discover collaborative lessons and offer feedback, guided by teachers; and (3) three weeks of two-hour Mon-Fri music appreciation intensives that specialize in the history, sounds, and segments of classical and jazz music. Although the Summer Music Shout Outs! are not part of this proposal, they are complimented by the activities of this grant application: (1) students attend concerts by world-renowned classical and jazz artists appearing on the CGCC Community Arts Program Summer Concert Series and (2) students attend Young Musicians' Summer Master Classes. Busing is provided for youth to attend concerts and master classes.

To summarize, with free Summer Concert Series tickets and Young Musicians’ Summer Master Classes scholarships to students and underserved populations, educational and cultural enrichment is accessible. The overall education and outreach impact is more children and adults served by affordable and life-enhancing cultural and educational experiences offered through the Summer Concert Series and Young Musicians’ Summer Master Classes project of this proposal.

Additional Operating Budget Information

Over the past three years particularly, the applicant has become increasingly reminded of the importance for building a contingency within its fiscal planning. To this end, a CGCC Community Arts Program Endowment Fund has been established through private and personal donations. A sum of $30,000 has been acquired. This amount establishes a match framework from which to grow the already-acquired amount. This endowment amount is not reflected in the operating budget of this proposal, as the amount is not relied upon as part of the “planned” income and expenditure needs of the organization or project of this proposal.

POST-GRANT PERIOD SUSTAINABILITY OF PROPOSAL ACTIVITIES
The CGCC Community Arts Program carries no debt and has always remained solid in its fiscal planning. Over the past three years particularly, the applicant has become increasingly reminded of the importance for building a contingency within its fiscal planning. To this end, a CGCC Community Arts Program Endowment Fund has been established through private and personal donations. A sum of $30,000 has been acquired. This amount establishes a match framework from which to grow the already-acquired amount. This endowment amount is not reflected in the operating budget of this proposal, as the amount is not relied upon as part of the “planned” income and expenditure needs of the organization or project of this proposal.

Evaluation Plan

Maintaining a consistent quality in the future development, change of course or discontinuation of programming is aligned closely with the gathering, analyzing and reporting of data. The program’s evaluation plan and collected data focus on key quality-control and reach issues obtained from (1) public reaction by way of verbal and written comments via written survey (an inquiry into demographics, psychographics, marketing source, and artist preferences). This survey holds a 93% rate of completion and return; (2) Excel- and Access-based spreadsheet and database tracking systems that measure ticket distribution, demographics, and attendance; (3) Follow up meetings involving strategic sources that include private and government cultural and educational officials, community leaders, and students (particularly students ages 8-18); and (4) Post-concert follow-up meetings engaging the Advisory Board and administrative staff of the CGCC Community Arts Program.

Applicant Accessibility

Question	Response
Does the applicant have policies and procedures (including a complaint process) that address non-discrimination on the basis of disability?	Yes
Does the applicant have a staff person that is responsible for compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, Americans with Disabilities Act and Florida Statutes 553?	Yes (Mark Hart )
Has the applicant completed the Section 504 Self Evaluation Workbook from the National Endowment for the Arts (linked) in the last 5 years?	Yes

Accessibility

The CGCC Community Arts Program, with its governance and staff, has built a cadre of diverse ongoing relationships that provide cross-cultural welcoming opportunities through Overtown’s Lyric Theatre, the Joseph Caleb Center, the local chapter of the NAACP, the Overtown Advisory Board and other community organizations, Miami-Dade County Office of Parks and Recreation, The Beacon Council Business Development District members, the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Miami-Dade County Educational Consortiums, and Breakthrough Miami. With these, cultural outreach to underserved populations of Miami-Dade County become an integral part of making CGCC Community Arts Program Summer Concert Series concerts and Young Musicians’ Summer Master Classes accessible and welcoming to all. One such area of collaboration is providing busing to concerts and master classes for those who are in need. Providing awareness to everyone is the key to effectively and efficiently maximizing accessibility efforts.

MARKETING particularly radio and print, is designed around those resources that reach the very diverse Miami-Dade demographic. An example of this is the medium of Miami-based radio stations used (i.e., Hot 105 - reaching primarily the African-American population, WDNA - mixed demographic of American, Afro-American and Cuban, WEDR 99 JAMZ - a mixed demographic, WLRN - professional American, Afro-American, Cuban, and Haitian, WMBM AM 1490 - mixed demographic).

HANDICAP, LANGUAGE AND SIGHT- & HEARING-IMPAIRED SERVICES are available at all Summer Concert Series concerts and Young Musicians’ Summer Master Classes. Ongoing training to our staff of 43 volunteers provides sensitive and competent assistance to challenged and seasoned members of the community. Designated areas for special seating are available and well marked. To make this process as smooth as possible, participants are encouraged to request special assistance at the time of securing tickets. (An example of this appears within the “Order Form” area of the 2011 Summer Concert Series brochure. See SUPPORT MATERIALS.) This “heads-up” approach is beneficial for even greater efficiency when engaging our bi-lingual volunteers who, collectively, speak English, French, Creole, Spanish, Portuguese and sign language. Signage throughout the facility is in Braille. A total of 10 hearing-aid devices (five are typically needed) are made available to the aurally-impaired.

In 2009, Coral Gables Congregational Church completed the upgrade of two ADA-compliant entrance ramps and three new ADA-compliant bathrooms. These accessibility improvements were made possible, in part, through a Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs capital development grant.
