PCA Update on Arts & Economic Impact Study Piedmont Council for the Arts (PCA) announces the completion of data collection for Arts & Economic Prosperity IV (AEPIV), the most comprehensive study of the economic impact of the arts ever undertaken in the Charlottesville area. The research study, conducted by Americans for

the Arts (AFTA), evaluates the impact that spending by arts organizations and their audiences have on their local economies, with a special focus on the nonprofit sector.

As one of 200 study partners across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, PCA facilitated the gathering of detailed economic and event attendance data from arts and culture organizations located in Charlottesville and Albemarle throughout 2011, including: • Over 2,000 Audience Expenditure Surveys from area cultural events— more than twice the minimum number needed for our population size • Organizational Expenditure Surveys from 41 of our area’s eligible organizations, representing approximately $50 million in aggregate operating expenditures Scheduled for public presentation

by PCA this summer, AEPIV will report on the impact of spending by area arts and culture organizations and their audiences on the economy. Results will include: • The total dollars spent by Charlottesville and Albemarle’s nonprofit arts and culture organizations and select commercial arts venues • The total dollars spent by audiences as a direct result of their attendance at arts and culture events in Charlottesville and Albemarle • The number of full-time equivalent jobs supported by arts spending • The amount of local and state government tax revenues generated by arts spending • The amount of resident, household income generated by arts spending According to Arts & Economic Prosperity III, the national nonprofit arts industry generated 5.7 million jobs and $166.2 billion in total economic activity during 2005, resulting in $29.6 billion in federal, state and local government revenues. Complete details on the 2005 study are available at: www.AmericansForTheArts. org/EconomicImpact.

PCA is the designated arts agency of Charlottesville and Albemarle, with outreach to Fluvanna, Greene,

Tom Tom Founders Festival Charlottesville’s new creative festival, the Tom Tom Founders Festival, will celebrate original music, art and innovation for one month, starting on Founders Day, April 13, Thomas Jefferson’s birthday.

During the festival’s “City As Canvas” month from April 13 to May 13, residencies, talks, workshops, and performances for artists and entrepreneurs will offer an open stage highlighting local innovation and creativity throughout the community. Most of these events will be free.

Tom Tom’s activity culminates in the main festival weekend, May 11-13; featuring performances from over 50 bands in venues along the Downtown Mall; the unveiling of new sculpture, paintings, photography, murals and interactive art by featured TTFF artists; and keynote presentations that showcase Charlottesville as an innovation hub for the local food movement, biotechnology, financial services and other start-up technologies.

Some events will be free. The headlining musical events will be ticketed, and weekend passes will be sold.

“We have 25 bands from across the country, mostly buzz-bands in the indie-pop, indie-folk, and electronic genres,” said Paul Beyer, the festival’s director. “They will be joined by more than 25 of our best local bands that are excited to be part of this new festival.”

The festival’s line-up and headliners will be announced in the second half of March, and tickets will go on sale then.

At the Tom Tom Founders Festival launch on Thursday, at the festival’s new headquarters on South 1st Street, Beyer will announce the festival’s three main music stages, and the two gala events – both free – that will bookend the festival, on April 13 and May 13.

Early tickets and support opportunities will be available through a Kickstarter initiative. “We crowd

sourced the programming, basically letting the community determine what happens during the festival, and now we will be crowdsourcing some of the funding.” (www.kickstarter. com). “Events are still being lined up and expanded, so we welcome everyone to get involved and help.” For information, visit www.tomtom2012. com.

We love our books in Central Virginia, and we love our book festival, the five-day literary blowout the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities throws every March with hundreds of authors in bookstores, libraries, schools, and other Cville venues where reading is safe and legal.

The festival officially kicks off at noon at the JMRL Central Library in a ceremony with Poet Laureate of Virginia Kelly Cherr, author of 20 books of poetry, including Hazard and Prospect: New and Selected Poems.

house & home

Revival style of the house so well that people assume the dormers are original. “The framing is straightforward,” he says, “as are the flashing and finishing. The hard part is matching the existing roof shingles.”

While simple dormers are common in traditional houses, and chimneys and cupolas hold a strong place in Colonial design—think of Williamsburg and Philadelphia—turrets belong to the Victorian era. Round, square or octagonal, with a pointed or mansard roof, the turret extends above the roofline to give a vertical accent to the house, with high windows that suggest an observation post or the lair of a lunatic—think of the Addams Family and Uncle Fester.

The Abrams Guide to American House Styles, by William Morgan (Abrams, 2004) has page after page of color photographs of Victorian houses, bristling with gables, turrets, balconies and bulbous spikes.

As Morgan points out, Queen Victoria had a long reign, from 1837 to 1901, and her name is “a convenient umbrella for a range of substyles that convey the entrepreneurial and rough and tumble spirit of late nine-

I

n his novel The Longest Journey, E. M. Forster makes a rare literary nod to architectural ornament. A naked boy climbs on the roof of a country house and shouts to those in the garden below: “Am I an acroterium?” The answer: “Yes, but they are unfashionable. Go in at once.”

An acroterium (from Greek words meaning “high” and “watcher, guardian”) is a sculpture placed at the top or angle of a roof gable. In classical architecture, the sculpture is often an urn, a bird, a palmette, or a standing human figure. The inspiration may have come from nature. Birds often perch on the peak of a roof, and birds were associated with spirits and divination. To place a divine guardian atop a temple made perfect sense.

The Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) drew statues on the roofs of his palaces and villas, which he modeled after classical temples. His influence on European architecture was enormous. In Rome especially, there is a rooftop population of saints and biblical characters. Likewise, domes, cupolas, dormers, spires, crests and towers of every kind decorate the skyline.

In English houses, as Forster notes, the fashion shifted. And in American

pressed tin—and the dimensions of a single-family house.

The frenzy reached a peak in the 1880s and 1890s, in a style that is loosely called Queen Anne. Incorporating a dash of Gothic, Romanesque, and Moorish, this was a period of excess in ornament, using deep colors, grotesque details, and complex

houses, we seldom go beyond lightning rods and weathervanes to avert the wrath of heaven. But we do like roof ornament. Turrets, dormers and cupolas remain popular, along with chimneys, balustrades and the occasional crow’s nest or lookout.

These roof elements can have a practical function. Dormers admit natural light and air to an attic, the space under the sloping rafters, and allow that space to be used for bedrooms. In a house that lacks dormers, but has sufficient headroom and structural strength, they can be added. In 2006, Tom and Judy Boyd added dormers to their brick one-story house in Charlottesville.

They gained a guest bedroom, bath and study on the second floor. Troy Yancey, of TEAL Construction was the builder. He matched the Colonial

teenth-century America.” After the Civil War, there was an explosion of new wealth, new methods of construction, and newly rich people who wished to express themselves.

Some of those people, and their architects, traveled to Europe. The castles of Spain, France and Germany inspired them. Arguably, the chateaux of the Loire valley in France inspired them most of all. The fanciful rooflines of Blois, Chambord, Chenonceaux and Loches, among others, gave rise to the fairy-tale castle that we associate with Cinderella, and that we see in Disney’s Magic Kingdom. The spiky silhouette, the round stone towers, the forest of chimneys, and the steep, shiny slate roofs all found their way into humbler materials—wood, brick, rolled steel and

geometrical shapes. Roofs sprouted gables and dormers in all directions, and a house was hardly complete without a tower of some kind. In Charlottesville, there is a cluster of turreted houses on Park Street in the blocks near Court Square, now used as attorney offices. Staunton boasts a collection east of downtown on Beverley, Coalter and Kalorama Streets.

The Belmont neighborhood of Charlottesville has both old and new versions. Belmont Avenue has modest examples from the early 1900s, nicely restored. Scattered in other streets are houses that grew upward more recently, adding a third story with generous windows for sunlight.

The view from these modern, glassy belvederes, over roofs and gardens, must be delightful.
