 Becomes_Change_New_Deal_Arts_Revivals\nEvent Date Begin: 2009-03-05\nEvent
  Date End: 2009-03-05\n\nJoin Suzanne MacAulay\, Associate Professor and C
 hair of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at the University of 
 Colorado\, Colorado Springs\, as she presents an illustrated talk on the A
 rts and the New Deal.   \nThe New Deal launched an important florescence o
 f art and craft during the 1930s and 1940s. New Deal arts programs have pr
 ovided important models for subsequent economic recovery projects in impov
 erished communities ever since. Although these efforts are laudable\, they
  pose some disturbing questions about individual creativity\, government r
 egulation and entrepreneurial activities. Why in economically troubled tim
 es is art regarded as 'salvation' and ignored otherwise? Are these aesthet
 ically fertile and rich opportunities or aesthetic mandates which regulari
 ze or neutralize creativity? This illustrated talk examines arts revivals 
 and rebirths in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico during the New D
 eal era. It addresses some of the same issues relevant to art and society 
 today concerning revitalization\, authenticity\, centrality and marginaliz
 ation\, and cultural sustainability in view of the ebb-and-flow or fickle 
 nature of arts revivals.   \nDr. MacAulay received her Ph.D. from the Univ
 ersity of Pennsylvania in Folklore and Ethnography. She spent the previous
  decade developing and teaching a culturally focused art history and folkl
 ore  curriculum in New Zealand where she was head of a fine arts school. H
 er book Stitching Rites critiques the role of cultural politics in arts re
 vitalization projects in the San Luis Valley. Among her research interests
  are Spanish Colonial textile revivals\, and Maori weaving practices\, per
 formance theory and personal experience narratives\, memory\, diaspora\, c
 lass and globalization.\n\nStart time: 7 p.m.
