Mark Dayton and the Office of Technology for Peace
On September 22, 2005, Minnesota Senator, Mark Dayton, introduced legislation to establish a Department of Peace and Nonviolence that included the establishment of an Office of Technology for Peace. Here is the link to that legislation https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/109/s1756/text
I made a comic about it back in October 2005, but now I am finally getting around to posting more info about this legislation. How cool for Mr. Dayton, to be able to write a bill with such a visionary message -- that's the kind of stuff I'd want to try for if I was a United States Senator. (Vote for Newcomer!)
John Lennon and Yoko Ono liked to talk about the war machine, and the necessity of a peace machine. So, this is part of what needs to happen (in every nation) to help bring about peace.
Basically, this legislation was not adopted. But let's hope for a similar bill to be ratified sometime soon.

Kelly goes to Arts Funding Panel
Notes - I am a note-taking-machine! (image of my notebook from my etsy site)
On Jan. 13, 2015, I went to a free arts funding panel offered by Springboard for the Arts and Hennepin County Libraries. I ended up with a couple new goals about art grants.
Goals:
Goals:
1. Approach WARM Women's Art Registry of Minnesota http://www.thewarm.org/mentor-program/mentor-intensive/ and maybe do their mentor program, or at least write the funding for the mentor program into one of my grant applications. (yikes: Looks like it costs $90 per month) But WARM members have other get togethers and hopefully they can help me as a mom who put her art career on hold for the kids and special needs issues of kid - who is ready finally to refocus on art-making but I still have to juggle other caregiving responsibilities.
I became a WARM member for $55 for one year - which will get me into their other programs (not the Mentor one though)

2. I used to have a goal of applying for ONE art grant per year. Maybe two. (MN State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant and McKnight Fellowship). Now I am more in mind to apply for three - and go for something like a travel/study grant or a grant for a project with a community-emphasis - there might be something I'm already involved in (like those conversations I've been having with Tammy Ortegon about balancing caregiving & art-making - that could possibly turn into a project with a community connection for which we could get a grant to help realize it).
The presenters were:
Delta Giordano, she is an artist with a theater background and she works for the Knight Foundation which has an innovative new program called the Knight Arts Challenge. http://www.knightarts.org/knight-arts-challenge/stpaul
Cynthia Gehrig, President of the Jerome Foundation http://www.jeromefdn.org which gives fellowships to emerging artists, and also sponsors a travel/study grant, and also sponsors residencies for artists at Northern Clay Center, Highpoint Center for Printmaking, New York Mills, and Textile Center
