So it happened; The City's cultural centers that for decades have incubated local artists have been made to bear the brunt of the Arts Commission's mandatory budgetary cuts.

Commissioners at their regular meeting Monday approved their $7 million budget for the next fiscal year with these cutbacks:

Administration: $56,019
Cultural Centers: $285,399
Arts enhancement account: $194,157
Cultural Equity Grants: $94,597

President Luis Cancel has also said a WritersCorps program that serves low-income, incarcerated, immigrant, homeless and educationally disadvantaged youth is also dangerously close to the chopping block.

Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei Sheffield Students Society (BruSheff) recently participated in an event called International Cultural Evening organised by the International Students' Committee of University of Sheffield. All proceeds of the evening went to the Haiti Emergency Appeal.

In one of their last big performances for this term, BruSheff managed to make a spectacular show in front of hundreds of international audience that night. Members from the society participated in a stage performance combining drama, Syair with the dance of Samalindang set in a historical scene of ancient Brunei.

It was beautifully narrated and made the performance one the best amongst the performing countries. Dk Aainaa Majidah Pg Haji Idris, one of the performers and also Vice President of BruSheff said, "It was a great experience to be involved in this successful event.

The audience really enjoyed it especially the Syair, and we had a lot of interesting responses from them after the show. With that, we were able to showcase Brunei's cultural heritage to a lot of different people."

Showing their amazing cultural performances, some of the other societies who performed were Chinese, Vietnamese, Sri Lankan, Pakistani and Arab. BruSheff was established in 2008 and currently has 40 members, all of whom are Bruneian students studying at University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin

Multi-Cultural Center gets interim director after Qadir ... - Argus Leader

Posted: 04 May 2010 02:44 PM PDT

An interim director has been chosen to lead the Multi-Cultural Center of Sioux Falls, but his identity is a mystery for now.

The center's executive director Qadir Aware resigned last week after months of controversy, which included the departures of the board's four top officers and Aware's earlier suspension.

Two reports from consultants who worked with the center were critical of its management.

Now, the interim director has met with some people in the community but the board has not yet announced who he is.

The position is seen as key as the board searches for Aware's replacement.

"We have so many programs going, we need somebody there who can oversee them," says Dr. Jerry Walton, a board member who served as president for nine years. "It's critical for us."

For more on this story, see Wednesday's Argus Leader.
