Sinossi

Public Art Funding explores the intricate relationship between art and politics, revealing how government and institutional funding shapes the art we see in public spaces. This book delves into the sources of funding, from government allocations to private donations, and investigates the decision-making processes for selecting artists and artwork. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial, as public art often reflects a community's values. The book examines the evolution of public art funding from the New Deal era to contemporary models, highlighting controversies surrounding artistic merit and cultural representation. For instance, public art can sometimes lead to debates over censorship or cultural appropriation. By analyzing case studies and various funding models, the book sheds light on the ethical considerations and potential biases inherent in the system. The book progresses from foundational concepts to historical context, case studies, ethical considerations, and strategies for improvement, culminating in recommendations for policymakers and community members. This comprehensive approach, drawing from fields like political science and urban planning, offers a unique perspective on the political, economic, and social factors influencing public art.

Wovoka: The Life and Legacy of...

Editors Charles River

Wovoka (1867-1932), the Ghost Dance Prophet, was a member of the Walker River band of Paiutes, in western Nevada. The Walker River Reservation was established in 1859 and was Wokova’s home off and on for years. Wovoka was also known as Jack Wilson, a name he acquired while he was, for some years, employed on the David Wilson family ranch in the Mason Valley. At that time in Nevada, Indians not living on a reservation often lived on a ranch. Wovoka was exposed to the pious Wilson family’s daily Bible readings, and that may have helped shape his own beliefs. 
His father was a traditional medicine man, himself a devotee of an earlier prophet. In 1889, Wovoka followed his father in also becoming a medicine man. The year, Wovoka had a series of visions that led to what is sometimes called the Ghost Dance religion, which spread like wildfire across much of the West in 1889 and 1890. 
Wovoka’s 1889 visions grew into a new religion that gripped the hopes and imaginations of dozens of tribal groups, and it eventually extended over much of the West. It was a kind of antidote for defeat and cultural dislocation. The Lakota Sioux in particular were so caught up in the Ghost Dance and their adaptation of Wovoka’s revelations that they remain strongly associated with the Ghost Dance more than a century later.
