Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today highlighted the importance of legislation President Obama just signed into law that promotes economic opportunities for Native American artists and craftspeople and protects consumers from fraudulent art and craftwork.
“The Indian Arts and Crafts Amendments Act is good news because it increases economic development and job opportunities for Native Americans who produce and market authentic Indian art and craftwork while cracking down on counterfeit marketers who are hurting sales of this authentic Indian work,” said Secretary Salazar. The total market for American Indian and Alaska Native arts and crafts in the United States is estimated at a billion dollars, with an unknown but substantial amount of those sales going to misrepresented, non-authentic works.
The Secretary joined President Obama and Tribal leaders from across the nation yesterday at a White House signing ceremony for the Indian Arts and Crafts Amendments Act and Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010. The ceremony focused on the role of the law in helping tribal leaders combat violence and increase safety on Indian reservations by providing law enforcement resources.
The new law also strengthens the Indian Arts and Crafts Act, which makes it illegal to sell or offer or display for sale any art or craft product in a manner that falsely suggests it is Indian-produced, an Indian product, or the product of a particular Indian Tribe.
“The law signed by President Obama yesterday expands our ability to enforce the Indian Arts and Crafts Act by authorizing all federal law enforcement officers to conduct investigations of those who fraudulently market arts and crafts as Indian-made in violation of the Act,” the Secretary said.
The Indian Arts and Crafts Board (IACB), a federal agency under the Department of the Interior, administers and enforces the Indian Arts and Crafts Act. Before President Obama signed the new legislation into law yesterday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was the only federal law enforcement agency with statutory authority to investigate alleged Indian Arts and Crafts Act violations. Under the new law, the IACB may refer potential Act violations for investigation to all federal law enforcement officers--including those from Department of the Interior bureaus, and can work with federal law enforcement officers who uncover violations of the Act in the course of their regular duties.
In addition, the new legislation strengthens the penalties for violations of the Act by imposing harsher penalties on those involved in more significant sales of arts and crafts misrepresented as Indian-made. For fraudulent works with a total sales transaction amount of $1,000 or more, a first-time violation by an individual will result in a fine of up to $250,000, imprisonment of up to five years, or both. A first-time violation by a business will result in a fine of up to $1 million.
For smaller cases with first-time violators, if the total sale amount is less than $1,000, an individual will face a fine of up to $25,000, imprisonment of up to a year, or both, and a business will face a fine of up to $100,000. In the case of a subsequent violation, regardless of the amount for which any item is offered or displayed for sale, or sold, an individual could be fined, imprisoned for up to 15 years, or both; and a business could be fined up to $5 million.
Established by Congress in 1935, the IACB promotes authentic Native American art and craftwork of members of federally recognized Tribes, as well as to implementing the Indian Arts and Crafts Act. For more information, see http://www.iacb.doi.gov .

Rumpelstiltskin! at the Center for Pupperty Arts
“My daughter can spin straw into gold!” brags Kate’s father. Desperate to make good on her father’s boast, Kate turns to a mysterious little man who helps her using his magical skills - but for a terrible price. Can Kate outsmart the curious stranger? What could be the answer to this puzzle?
You guessed it! This summer the Center for Puppetry Arts is spinning the tale of that infamous riddle-maker Rumpelstiltskin into a rollicking musical that will delight kids and adults alike. This classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale is brought to life onstage with beautifully hand-crafted marionettes in an original adaptation for the puppet stage by Bobby Box and Michael Haverty.
Rumpelstiltskin is also directed by Haverty, who commented, “In this season’s performance, many of the characters have been transformed into roles of the traditional Commedia dell’arte, a classic form of theater which originated in Italy and is known for its use of masked performers and physical comedy. Among the many characters, we have Edgar, a bumbling and boastful captain of the guard, as well as Harlequino, the Miller’s servant who is a classic Italian clown full of acrobatic energy and passion…for eating and sleeping!
Rumpelstiltskin is the consummate trickster.” The show is performed by Reay Kaplan and Dolph Amick; “two fantastic puppeteers and comedians” says Haverty, who are part of the Center’s own very talented company of puppeteers.
Rumpelstiltskin will run from August 6 – September 12, 2010 at the following times:
· Fri: 10am & 11:30pm
· Sat: 11am, 1pm, & 3pm
· Sun: 1pm & 3pm
TICKETING:
Tickets for patrons two and older are $16.00 ($14.82 + tax) and include admission to the performance, Create-A-Puppet Workshop (or a Create-A-Puppet To-Go Kit), and all museum exhibits. Membership and group rates are available.
ORDER TICKETS ONLINE AT WWW.PUPPET.ORG OR CALL THE TICKET SALES OFFICE AT 404.873.3391.
CREATE-A-PUPPET WORKSHOP/MUSEUM & SPECIAL EXHIBITS
Don’t let your puppet experience end with the show! A recommended day at the Center includes an original performance, a visit to the Create-A-Puppet Workshop, and a self-guided tour of the Museum and special exhibits. Children can make their own “Rumpelstiltskin Rod-and-String Puppet” in the Create-A-Puppet Workshop. For workshop schedule, please visit http://www.puppet.org/edu/workshops.shtml.

An update from Richard Garner on our rise to the challenge...
I am proud to announce that with just a little under two weeks to go in the summer season, Georgia Shakespeare has raised $40,000 toward our $50,000 challenge.
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed and helped us make it this far. I also encourage anyone who loves the artist-driven, world-class theatre we strive to bring to the stage year after year who hasn't given so far this year, to lend a hand in getting us to the finish line.
Remember, a new or increased gift in any amount helps us meet the challenge. Plus, when you give to the challenge grant, we will double your donor benefits - a $50 donation will get you all the benefits of a $100 donor and a $500 donation will get you all of the benefits of being a $1000 donor.
With just $10,000 remaining, we have just a short distance left to go! Help us send out our 25th Anniversary Summer with a bang by reaching our goal by August 8.
As always, thanks for being a part of Georgia Shakespeare.

Indie Films at the Morris
The Morris Museum of Art (Augusta, GA) is hosting Southern Circuit, the nation’s only tour of independent filmmakers, September 2010 through April 2011. Sponsored by SouthArts, Southern Circuit brings an independent film and its maker to the Morris Museum, each month.
As museum director Kevin Grogan noted, “These screenings provide an interactive way of experiencing independent film and an opportunity for audience members to connect with filmmakers and engage in a dialogue about the films and their meanings.” Each screening starts at 6:00 p.m. Admission is free for Morris Museum members and $3.00 per person for nonmembers. The 2010–2011 film roster includes:
September 15, Dive!
The first film, Dive! follows filmmaker Jeremy Seifert and his circle of friends as they dumpster dive in the back alleys and gated garbage receptacles of L.A. supermarkets. In the process, they uncover thousands of dollars worth of good food and an ugly truth about waste in America: grocery stores know they are wasting and most refuse to do anything about it.
October 13, Pelada
Pelada is a documentary following Luke and Gwendolyn, two former college soccer stars who didn’t quite make it to the pros. Not ready for it to be over, they take off, chasing the game. From prisoners in Bolivia to moonshine brewers in Kenya, from freestylers in China to women who play in hijab in Iran, Pelada is the story of the people who play. Directed by Rebekah Ferguson and Ryan White.
November 10, Burning in the Sun
26-year-old Daniel Dembele decides to return to his homeland in Mali and start a local business building solar panels—the first of its kind in the sun drenched nation. Daniel’s goal is to electrify the households of rural communities, 99 percent of which live without power. Burning in the Sun tells the story of Daniel’s journey growing the budding idea into a viable company and of the business’ impact on Daniel’s first customers in the tiny village of Banko. Directed by Cambria Matlow.
February 9, Abel Raises Cain
Abel Raises Cain is an unprecedented glimpse into the life and bizarre career of infamous underground media prankster, Alan Abel. Over the past half-century, Abel has made a name for himself with stunts that are just ridiculous enough to be believable, especially to a media that feeds on salacious, far-fetched stories. Alan's daughter, Jenny, tells her firsthand account of what it was like growing up with this lovable but slightly demented prankster for a father. Produced and directed by Jenny Abel.
March 9, Awake, My Soul
Awake, My Soul is a feature documentary that explores the history, music, and traditions of Sacred Harp singing, the oldest surviving American music. While often linked only to its history, this haunting music has survived over 200 years tucked away in the rural deep south, where devoted singers break open The Sacred Harp, a shape note hymnal first published in Georgia in 1844. Awake, My Soul captures both the history and the vitality of a music that is utterly unlike any most have heard. Produced and directed by Matt Hinton.
April 13, Prodigal Sons
Returning home to a small town in Montana for her high school reunion, filmmaker Kimberly Reed hopes for reconciliation with her long-estranged adopted brother, Marc. But along the way she uncovers stunning revelations, including a surprise relationship to Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth, intense sibling rivalries, and unforeseeable twists of plot and gender that force them to face challenges no one could imagine. Prodigal Sons is a raw and provocative examination of one family’s struggle to come to terms with its past and present. Produced and directed by Kimberly Reed.
The 2010–2011 Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers is a program of South Arts, (formerly the Southern Arts Federation), a nonprofit regional arts organization that was founded in 1975 to build on the South's unique heritage and enhance the public value of the arts.. This screening is supported in part by an award from national Endowment for the Arts. To view movie trailers, visit the Morris Museum of Art’s blog (www.morrismuseum.blogspot.com) or Facebook page.
The presentation of the 2010-2011 Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers at the Morris Museum of Art is made possible, in part, by the generous support of Kelly and Diana Combs of Rosemary & Lookaway Halls, Starkey Flythe, Dr. and Mrs. James B. Hudson, Summerville Rags Incorporated, and Surrey Center Pharmacy.
The Morris Museum of Art was founded in 1985 and opened to the public in 1992. It is the oldest museum in the country that is devoted to the art and artists of the American South. The museum’s permanent collection holds approximately five thousand works of art that date from the late-eighteenth century to the present. The permanent collection galleries are currently being reinstalled and will reopen March 6, 2010. The Morris is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., and on Sunday, noon–5:00 p.m. For more information about the Morris Museum of Art, visit www.themorris.org or call 706-724-7501.

Dali's Mustache Finds New Home on a Delta Plane
In celebration of the High’s new exhibition, “Dalí: The Late Work,” Delta has decked out a 757 plane with a Salvador Dalí-esque mustache. The plane, which went into service today, will fly domestically. The High invites travelers who spot or ride on the plane to share their experience on the museum’s Facebook page (facebook.com/highmuseumofart) and on Twitter (twitter.com/highmuseumofart). Delta Air Lines is the Official Airline of the High Museum of Art.
“Dalí: The Late Work,” the first major exhibition to reevaluate the last half of Salvador Dalí’s career, will be presented exclusively at the High Museum of Art. Beginning in the late 1930s, Dalí went through a radical change in which he embraced Catholicism, developed the concept of nuclear mysticism and, in effect, reinvented himself as an artist. Comprising more than 115 works, including paintings, drawings, prints and other Dalí ephemera, the exhibition will also explore the artist’s enduring fascination with science, optical effects and illusionism as well as his connections to such artists of the 1960s and 1970s as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Willem de Kooning.
Among the highlights of the exhibition will be several works that have not been seen in the U.S. in 50 years, including the monumental “Christ of St. John of the Cross,” which was voted Scotland’s favorite painting in 2007, and “Santiago El Grande,” which has not left New Brunswick, Canada, since 1959. Designed as an altarpiece, this painting includes Dalí’s vision of the Crucifixion, an homage to Saint James (the patron saint of Spain) and an atomic explosion. The exhibition will also feature “Assumpta Corpuscularia Lapislazulina,” from a private collection in Spain, which has not been seen publicly since 1959.
“Salvador Dalí: The Late Work” is organized by the High Museum of Art in collaboration with the Salvador Dalí Museum, St. Petersburg, Florida, and the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, Figueres, Spain. Support is provided by Official Airline Partner: Delta Air Lines; Art Partners, The Fay and Barrett Howell Exhibition Fund and The Forward Arts Foundation Exhibition Endowment and indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities and will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue to be published by the High Museum of Art.

Murmurs. Paintings by Denise Wellenstein; figurative work by Kimberly Dean
The Seen Gallery
Opening
Saturday, July 24, 2010
7:00pm - 10:00pm
415 Church Street
Decatur, GA, 30030
Wellenstein's vibrant paintings hint at graphic design elements throughout the many layers of oil paint and glazes, sometimes revealing underlying handwritten text. The paintings are a process of exploration of color that rely on shapes, composition, contrast and texture to give depth, character and energy to the colors. Wellenstein earned her master's degree in Imaging Arts at Rochester Institute of Technology and currently works as and artist and graphic designer.
Dean's mixed-media pieces provide a glimpse into the heart and spirit, narrating emotions and somber moods through their surfaces. Dean's work combines clay and mixed media while using recycled and old materials. Her current work focuses on the worlds of emotion beneath the surface, and the pieces show the interplay between body and spirit, creating a visually awkward moment

Plein Air Artists return to Indian Springs during Annual Pow Wow Sept. 11th
A Plein Air Event? What is it like to paint outdoors with fellow artists? They come early in the morning to register at Generations Gallery. Armed with their favorite easel and a variety of art
supplies, a dozen or more artists find their way to their favorite spot to paint outdoors in the historic village.
It's a great way to meet new friends as curious onlookers gather around the working
artists. About 3PM, they stop for refreshments at Pinky's Cafe and delight the public who gathers there, in the cool air conditioning, with an art auction and sale of their day's work.
It's fresh, invigorating and a bit disarming to have to show and sell what you have done in just 4-6 hours. But the competition recognizes real "talent under pressure." For more details, see
www.pleinairgeorgia.com.
Membership is not required to participate in the events. The $25 entry fee goes toward the reception and purchase awards. If you would like to join the association, dues are a modest $10 annually and can be arranged by email at pleinairga@yahoo.com or Phone: 706-975-6419.
For more details on the event in September at Indian Springs in Middle Georgia, contact Generations Gallery at 800-352-7212. For directions to Indian Springs, see their website at
www.theVillageatIndianSprings.com/gallery. For information on the Native American Pow Wow, go to www.thebuttscountyhistoricalsociety.org

High to Host "Dalí: A Passion for Film" Film Series
The High Museum of Art will present the film series “Dalí: A Passion for Film” from Saturday, August 21, through Saturday, September 11. Featuring films and shorts that showcase Dalí’s fascination with cinema, the series will celebrate the artist’s influence on prolific filmmakers from Walt Disney to Alfred Hitchcock. This series is presented in coordination with “Salvador Dalí: The Late Work,” on display at the High from August 7, 2010, through January 9, 2011.
“Salvador Dalí had a life-long passion for film, both as a viewer and as a creator. Many of the 20 film projects that he pursued were never realized, but the barriers to their completion never diminished his enthusiasm or imagination,” said Linda Dubler, curator of media arts at the High. “Films at the High will present a season of films beginning in August devoted to Dalí’s own creations to the filmmakers who inspired him to his on-screen persona as an artist and a celebrity. With guest speakers such as the exhibition’s curator Elliott King and a festival of fantasy and the surreal in November that focuses on the influence of Surrealism in cinema, this promises to be an eye-opening program of interest to art and film lovers alike.”
The festival opens on Saturday, August 21, with “Dalí the Filmmaker,” featuring a talk and screening with Elliott King, guest curator of “Salvador Dalí: The Late Work” and author of Dalí, Surrealism and Cinema. King will explore Dalí’s interest in the movies and his influence on classic filmmakers such as Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock. Films to be screened include Dalí and Bunuel’s short “An Andalusian Dog,” the restored short of Salvador Dalí and Walt Disney’s collaboration “Destino” and the Dalí-designed dream sequence from Alfred Hitchcock’s “Spellbound.”
On Saturday, August 28, “Dalí’s American Friends” presents Dalí’s admiration of both Walt Disney and Harpo Marx as American Surrealists. In Walt Disney’s classic animated short “Skeleton Dance,” four skeletons dance in various ways and play makeshift musical instruments in a spooky graveyard. The feature-length Marx Brothers’ 1933 classic “Duck Soup” is a Surrealist work and cinematic achievement. Critic Roger Ebert said of the comedy, “To describe the plot [of Duck Soup] would be an exercise in futility, since a Marx Brothers movie exists in moments, bits, sequences, business and dialogue, not in comprehensible stories.”
The Dalí film festival concludes on Saturday, September 11, with “Lights, Camera, Dalí.” This series of three shorts looks at Dalí as a celebrity and an on-screen personality. Shot in New York, Jack Bond’s “Dalí in New York,” Andy Warhol’s “Dalí Screen Tests” and Jonas Mekas’s “New York Encounters with Dalí” explore Dalí’s surreal universe and cinematic fascination.
Film Series Schedule
Unless otherwise noted, all films begin at 8 p.m. and are screened in the Richard H. Rich Theatre. The theatre is located in the Memorial Arts Building, adjacent to the High at Peachtree and 15th Streets in midtown Atlanta (MARTA stop N5).
