Johnson successfully combines horns, strings, side bass drums and traditional African instruments with the buckets in a cohesive ensemble that appeals to listeners from Blue Grass to World Beat.

Fiscal Sponsorships Workshop: Fundraising for Artistic Projects
Dear VLA Friends and Members,
Fiscal Sponsorships Workshop: Fundraising for Artistic Projects
When:
Monday, November 10, 2008: 6-8pm
Where:
Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (Auditorium)
1 East 53rd Street (on the corner with 5th Ave)
NY, NY 10022
Note: There are 2.0 CLE credits for this workshop.
Many independent artists as well as small and new arts organizations require public donations and contributions to carry out certain artistic projects. Without the requisite 501(c)(3) status, these artists and organizations face difficulties in raising funds from philanthropic individuals, charitable foundations, and government institutions. Fortunately, Fiscal Sponsorship exist which enable individual artists as well as small and new arts organizations to raise grants and tax-deductible contributions for their projects. Because Fiscal Sponsorships are regulated by the IRS, there are some complicated legal issues involved. Failure to comply with IRS regulations can create legal complications for the artist and/or organization. Additionally, a Fiscal Sponsorship creates an arrangement between artist and sponsor, thus calling for a written agreement where issues of liability and intellectual property will be clearly manifested.
This VLA workshop is open to artists, arts administrators, and attorneys, and will cover the legal issues raised by a Fiscal Sponsorship, as well as a brief overview of profit and nonprofit entities.
Fees for this workshop are as follows:
Arts Professional VLA Member: $10
Arts Professional Non-Member: $15
VLA Legal Professional Member: $100 (book included)
Legal Professional Non-Member: $125 (book included)
$10 additional at the door registration fee.
Please complete the attached Registration Form and return to Sergio Muñoz Sarmiento via fax to: (212) 752-6575, or mail form with payment to his attention to:
VLA
Nonprofit workshop
1 East 53rd Street, 6th fl

Tap Studio Description
The Tap Studio offers tap dance classes designed specifically for adults taught by internationally acclaimed tap artist, Lane Alexander.
The studio is equipped with a sprung, maple floor for excellent sound and cushioned impact.
The Tap Studio welcomes all comers from absolute "never seen a pair of tap shoes before" beginners to Broadway hoofers and everyone in between. We're serious about the art, but not about ourselves, so come prepared to hoof it up in a relaxed yet challenging environment of learning and celebration. Tap shoes are required and are available for purchase/order.
--------------------
A message from Lane...
Why are we making these changes? Primarily, I want the classes to be "progressive" or "cumulative." When a slightly different group shows up every week it makes it difficult to maintain continuity or make any kind of progress. This new format is meant to create a more stable learning environment that allows committed, regular students to make real progress.
We are also looking for additional space to expand our offerings for children, teenagers and professionals as well as create a state of the art facility for tap dance instruction. If you are interested in joining a committee dedicated to facilitating this expansion, please feel free to call me, write me or talk to me before or after class.
Finally, we're still planning on adding "practice videos" to our web site and are looking for volunteers with video cameras who would be interested in getting this program started.
I'm looking forward to seeing you all very soon and starting a new fall full of joyful noise!
Yours in double time,
Lane

It is our goal is to inform those who may need helpful resources or to provide information that someone can share with friends, co-workers, neighbors, or anyone who may be a victim of domestic violence. We do not provide direct counseling services.
We need your help to attain our goals to turn this event into a successful one that will continue as long as needed. We are in dire need of donations to purchase 10,000 pieces of candy, purple ribbons for DV Awareness and 10,000 information palm cards to hand out throughout Chicago during the month of October.
