This website is absolutely FANTASTIC! I honestly have had a hard time fulfilling my role as a community member since moving to Eugene. A came here not knowing a single person and starting to attend community events is something I am really looking forward to doing. This really will help me further connect with the community. I also loved that the site did not just have one genre of arts to attend but a multitude of them as well as recreation. All combined together to help express and allow submergence into Eugene culture.

Great resource for finding out what's going in Eugene. Helps to get involved and connect to the community.

"The fundamental goal of the Urban Institute's Arts and Culture Indicators Project (ACIP) is to help policymakers make better decisions for neighborhoods and cities. To this end, ACIP provides researchers, practitioners, and policymakers with information about the presence and role of arts and culture in communities-how arts and culture affect neighborhood conditions and community dynamics. Specifically, ACIP develops quantifiable measures of arts and culture and integrates them into quality of life measurement systems that can compare conditions across communities and in the same community over time. Launched in the late 1990s with support from the Rockefeller Foundation, ACIP's basic premises are (a) that a healthy place to live includes opportunities for and the presence of arts, culture, and creative expression, (b) that arts, culture, and creative expression are important determinants of how communities fare, and by extension (c) that full understanding of U.S. communities is inherently impossible without including these important perspectives."

This article talks about Vincent Vono's experience with Parkinson's disease that causes his body to have tremors that shake his body and finding the tremors would cease when painting. It is a very interesting article delving into the medical world combined with art. 

it is cool video about talking what is art.

Thank you! That was hilarious, but at the same time... thought provoking. I very much agree that art needs to elicit an emotional response or a narrative. It's got to move the viewer in some way...as far as I'm concerned, anyway. And who doesn't love Creature Comforts?

That's an awsome video about what art is! I like the way how this video describe what art is and the relationship between we and art. It makes me start thinking about virous posible way to creat art!

Here is the website from CNN.com, which provides tons of art works and performance. With these, it may allow us to explore more what we seek to define Art World.

This site is great! Found myself browsing for a while and enjoyed all of the different types of dance and art that it supplied. The range of style and background is entertaining and I was able to use this as inspiration for a possible art world.

This is very useful website to search and find the performances. Yet is it also reports news from a expand world narrative not just a art performance. It is definitely can help me to write the assignment next week to define an art world.

inforgraphic from 2010 illustrating where musicians make money (and how much) in the digital era..

I'm particularly interested in this because I'm going to be starting a small record label with some friends this summer, and while we can predict the profitability of a certain distribution medium from a consumer's point of view, having the data laid out like this is very helpful.

I was always curious about it. The article was written in 2010 so I think musicians must earn more than in 2010.

Super bright, feisty eight-year-old Alice Quivery challenges the strictures of Victorian society by happily following a pocket watch-toting White Rabbit down a magical hole into the quirky world of Wonderland. Help Alice as she tromps through a fantastical forest and struggles to grasp nonsensical celebrity Tweets, learn hip hop dance moves, and win a battle of wills with a Hatter who considers Twilight a serious work of nonfiction. Appropriate for all ages, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland powerfully recasts the beloved children's classic by artfully infusing Victorian mores with modern popular culture.

The Pocket is a student run organization that helps students craft their artistic visions on the stage. Each quarter, roughly 4-6 shows are produced in the Pocket, completely under the direction and operation of students. Many productions are original, some are new renderings of old classics, and some are obscure offerings seldom seen on stage, but they all come from the vision of directors, actors and designers just like you! The Pocket Playhouse aims to provide an arena for students to get involved in all aspects of theatre regardless of prior experience.

I played in a small group of strings and percussion with a pocket play, once! It was definitely a unique experience.

a video I used in class...from the film Beat Street

there is no boundary in art.

Art can be expressed in many different forms. Dance turns into art when the dancer (or artist) uses normal moves and makes them extraordinary by telling a story with their choreography.
