The Center offers three programs in the spring of 1999 examining The Cultural Sector in the Next Century, followed by three programs on Globalization and its Impact on Culture in the fall of 1999. These free events in the National Building Museum are followed by an informal reception designed to bring together participants and audiences in an open environment conducive to exploring ideas and exchanging information. Thursday, March 18 FEDERAL CULTURAL LEADERSHIP Recent controversies over federal funding have obscured the broader challenges facing the cultural sector in the next century. The federal cultural agencies will continue to play a leadership role in the nation's cultural policy beyond giving grants. Join Bill Ferris, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities; Diane Frankel, Director of the Institute Museum and Library Services; and Bill Ivey, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, with moderator Ellen McCulloch-Lovell, Director of the White House Millennium Council, as they discuss future trends in the cultural sector and directions for the federal cultural agencies to meet the challenges of the next century. Tuesday, April 6 THE CREATIVE MIND:ARTISTS AND SCHOLARS AS PUBLIC CITIZENS What is the unique relationship of the creative mind to American democracy? Join us for an examination of the reciprocal relationship between the artist/humanist and society. What is the American view of individual creativity? Do Americans feel that certain individuals "speak truth to power" or that they have given themselves undeserved license? What can we learn from an examination of shifting attitudes throughout our history? Playwright David Henry Hwang, author of FOB, M Butterly, and Golden Child, will discuss these issues with cultural commentators Verlyn Klinkenborg of The New York Times; Nigel Redden, Director of the Lincoln Center Festival; Mary Schmitt Campbell, Dean of the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University and former New York City Commissioner of the Cultural Affairs. These panelists may be joined by others to be announced. Monday, May 3 THE 21ST CENTURY: NEW TRENDS IN CULTURAL PHILANTHROPY In this century, cultural life in the United States has depended heavily on organized private philanthropy. How will culture fare at a time when demands on philanthropy are greater and wider than ever, and many expect an influx of funds from a new generation of donors? What trends are discernable in individuals giving, private foundations, and corporate philanthropy? James Allen Smith, Executive Director of the Howard Gilman Foundation and an authority on the history of American foundations, think tanks and public policy research, will moderate a panel of experts including Marian Godfrey, Culture Program Director of the Pew Charitable Trusts and many others.
