The New York State Cultural Data
Project
(New York State CDP) is a powerful online
management tool designed to strengthen arts and
cultural organizations.  Arts and cultural organizations
enter financial, programmatic and operational data
into a standardized online form and can then use the
CDP to produce a variety of reports designed to help
increase management capacity, identify strengths
and challenges and inform decision-making. They
can also generate reports to be included as part of the
application processes to participating grantmakers.

This emerging national standard enables
participating organizations to track trends and
benchmark their progress through powerful reporting
tools, empowers researchers and advocates with
information to make the case for arts and culture, and
equips funders with data to plan and evaluate
grant-making activities more effectively.

Exaggerate! Exhibition Call for Art and Writing Entries

The greatest exhibition of art and tall tales ever seen by mortal man is coming to Old Forge! The
Arts Center/Old Forge is looking for visual art and short written works (poetry and tall tales) created
with the theme “Exaggerate!” for display from May 9 – June 6.  With entries from throughout the
Northeast and beyond the result should be an out of proportion, overblown, not entirely accurate
exhibition of fine art and written works.  This is a chance for artists and writers to express feelings
rather than facts, and to transport viewers beyond the bounds of reason.

The exhibit is open to all living artists and writers ages 16 and over. Humongous ribbons, and
monetary prizes will be awarded. First, second, and third prizes in both visual art and writing will
be chosen as well as the “We Know Best Award” determined by the votes of the viewing public.

The Juror of Visual Art for this is Katherine Kuharic, a painter, and the first Kevin Kennedy
Professor of Art at Hamilton College. The Juror of Written Works will be Joseph Bruchac, renowned
author, and founder and co-director of the Greenfield Review Press.

For a prospectus with entry forms, and complete submission guidelines, or a printable copy of the
totally awesome commemorative exhibition poster visit www.ArtsCenterOldForge.org   or call the
Arts Center/Old Forge at 315-369-6411 to have one mailed to you.
