Technical Preservation Services will launch a new series of case studies of successful tax incentives
Technical Preservation Services will launch a new series of case studies of successful tax incentives projects beginning next week. If you are not already subscribed to this newsletter: S U B S C R I B E<https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1739/keep-in-touch-with-tps.htm>

Titled Case-Study Snapshots, the new e-newsletter will illustrate the flexibility inherent in the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and how they have been used and applied to all kinds of historic rehabilitation projects and circumstances. These case studies will highlight projects involving topics such as the preservation of existing, and the creation of new, affordable and market-rate housing; the adaptive reuse and conversion of buildings to new uses; creative and innovative reuses of difficult-to-adapt buildings and property types; retrofit of historic buildings to be more sustainable, energy efficient, and resilient; economic development and community revitalization through historic rehabilitation; accessibility; and other rehabilitation issues and challenges.

Case-Study Snapshots will be sent to all subscribers. We will continue to publish the periodic Technical Preservation Services News that includes updates and information about guidance, publications, trainings, and other information related to the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards.

Community-based curation resource
The Tucson Museum of Art (TMA) has recently published a resource on community-based curation in art museums entitled Community-Based Curation: A Toolkit for Expanding Narratives and Changing Practices. The collaboratively authored toolkit shares reflections, strategies, and approaches to exhibition development with communities and highlights lessons learned by TMA from various projects from a four-year timeframe (2019 - 2023), as part of the museum's Institute of Museum and Library Services National Leadership Grant. The tools and materials support practitioners-in museums and beyond-in framing their approaches to expanding curatorial practices and developing meaningful relationships with communities-both in exhibition development and supporting future arts / museum professionals.

American Alliance of Museums blog on museums and trust
Are museums merely reliable sources of information, or is there something deeper fueling their growing public trust? According to Dawn DiPrince, Executive Director of History Colorado, it's the latter. She highlights the growing impact of receptive community partnerships in enhancing trust.

Explore her insights on how museums are leveraging these connections to build stronger, more engaged communities and how her museums are leading the way.

OCF Invests in Thought-Provoking Arts and Culture Projects Through 2024 Creative Heights
OCF announced today it will invest more than $1 million in projects that celebrate bold creativity, elevate cultural voices and examine some of the deep challenges facing Oregonians. The initiative is made possible by a generous gift from the estate of Fred W. Fields, with additional funds in 2024 from the Wieden Family Public Foundation. Grants that range from $15,000 to $100,000 are designed to encourage projects that stretch the creative capacity of artists and culture bearers.
14 Oregon arts and culture projects make up the newest recipients of Oregon Community Foundation's annual Creative Heights grants:
Puppeteers for Fears in Talent will use its grant to stage a feature-length sci-fi musical comedy exploring the implications of AI in an immersive multimedia stage setting, performed by a team of puppeteers with live electronic music from a full band.
Black Cultural Initiative for three permanent monuments to acknowledge and honor the erased and neglected history of Lane County's first Black neighborhood and its remaining survivors.
Fuchsia Lin for "Perched on the Summit of Jade Mountain," a series of textile art sculptures inspired by Taiwan's past, present and future; to be worn and performed in by Taiwanese American dancers and performers in a short docufiction film.
Bruce Burris to curate, exhibit and archive personal narratives from former residents of Fairview Training Center, an Oregon institutional-residential facility that supported children and adults diagnosed with neurological differences.
Portland Hip-Hop artist Quincy Davis to produce an original Hip-Hop album shedding light on issues young people face, especially mental health, with teaching and mentorship to incorporate youth participants into the creative process.
Taravat Talepasand and Christopher Whyte, both faculty members at Portland State University's College of the Arts, to create a multidisciplinary, multimedia concert and exhibit of new musical and visual works by Iranian and Iranian-American women that supports women's basic human rights and freedom.
The Weary Woman Support Group and Sunshine Band (Vaughn Kimmons) to develop an improvisation-based performance and album created by a collective of intergenerational Black Femme musicians, culminating in an album release event featuring performances from the collective.
Anis Mojgani to create and install "poetry objects" around the state of Oregon, using a combination of telephone/phonebooths, newspaper boxes and sandwich boards to deliver poems to the public.
Tucker Maxon School for The Harmony in Hands project, three visual, tactile and auditory mural installations that celebrate ability-diversity and unity with an accessible, engaging, inclusive and interactive experience for deaf and hard of hearing children.
Carla Mann and Suzanne Chi for a documentary film following a cast of female professional dancers aged 41-65 - who defy ageist stereotypes - revealing intimate views of lives lived in profound investigation of embodied experience.
About Creative Heights: OCF's Creative Heights initiative<https://oregoncf.org/community-impact/impact-areas/arts-and-culture/creative-heights> provides opportunities for artists and culture bearers to stretch their creative capacity, share new works and test new ideas. The initiative has invested roughly $1 million per year since 2014, encompassing 137 projects across a range of visual art, dance, folk and traditional arts, film/video/media, literary arts, museum exhibitions, humanities projects, music, theater and performance arts, history and heritage projects, and multidisciplinary artistic works.
