Sha Rock: Sha-rock, the 1st Pioneer Luminary Emcee,

empowerment and education through her work with urban youth
and her use of Hip Hop as a platform for her message of
unity and change.

member of The Mercedes Ladies, the first all-female MC and
DJ crew in the history of hip hop. Sheri has also worked in
the psychiatry and criminal justice fields, and she
frequently speaks to young women about self-empowerment.
She lives in Harlem U.S.A. and has recently published a
Mercedes Ladies, the novel.
Dream Hampton: A Hip-Hop journalist who in 1990 became the

essays on misogyny, police brutality and global issues. As
a contributing writer at Vibe, she wrote career defining
articles. Her essays and articles have appeared in a dozen

workshops, health fairs, concerts and empowerment seminars.
Amanda Diva: An accomplished poet, journalist, radio &

Fiscal Sponsorships Workshop: Fundraising for Artistic Projects
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.

March 31 - May 20
Classes are limited to 18 students.
Preference will given to those enrolled in the "course"
followed by "10 class card holders" followed by single
class purchasers. To guarantee a space in a class, we
encourage everyone to enroll in "courses" or buy ten class
cards.
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
