New from the GIA Reader: A Tribute to Robert E. Gard
The latest issue of the GIA Reader features four articles that pay tribute to rural arts advocate Robert E. Gard. In her opening letter, Grantmakers in the Arts President & CEO Janet Brown recounts how she met Gard and how his work has influenced her career. An article by his daughter, Maryo Gard Ewell, describes how her father developed his influential work and publication, The Arts in the Small Community: A National Plan. Michael Warlum, who worked for Robert Gard at Wisconsin Idea Theatre, reflects on the continued influence of The Arts in the Small Community fifty years after its publication. Maryo Gard Ewell also edited a book of selected writings by her late father, which Dudley Cocke has reviewed for this issue.
