For those that missed yesterday’s announcement via al.com , Kresge Arts in Birmingham announced their first ever list of grantees via press release yesterday. The program, introduced to Birmingham, AL just earlier this year, is one of five operating with the support of The Kresge Foundation.
The list that follows is of the nine organizations and their proposed projects taken from the official press release. The Cultural Alliance’s website has additional information about the program.

Last weekend the nominations were announced for the Southeast Regional Emmy Awards. The Terminal found out when the folks from We Have Signal shared their excitement via Facebook last night; after winning for audio work last year, the popular live performance series is up for the award again and competing against two other Alabama Public Television (APT) shows for a second award (known as Outstanding Achievement: Television Crafts Achievement Excellence – Editor – Program (Non-News))
A once over of the official nominations list also shows that Fox 6‘s Rick Karle is nominated for three awards, including best sports anchor and best sportscast. APT’s episode of Alabama Stories titled Honor Flight rounds out the multiple nominees from metro Birmingham and Alabama.
The awards will be handed out in Atlanta at the Grand Hyatt Buckhead on June 26.
Good luck everybody!

Birmingham has been chosen as one of five communities participating in the Kresge Community Arts grants pilot program. The Kresge Foundation hopes that the program, “encourages residents to use art and culture as a tool to address issues in their communities.”
The Magic City will participate alongside St. Louis, MO; Baltimore, MD; Detroit, MI; and Tucson, AZ. The first three have been participating since last summer – Birmingham and Tuscon’s participation was first announced late last year. Each community will receive $200,000 during the course of two years.
The Cultural Alliance of Greater Birmingham will be the agency awarding the grants here in metropolitan area. Amounts between $2,500 and $10,000 will be provided to “community arts projects that strive to address Birmingham’s pressing issues as determined by its citizens.”
Cultural Alliance president Buddy Palmer spoke with The Birmingham News recently about the organization’s hopes for the program as well as specifics about informational sessions to be held on February 22, March 10 and March 16.

The list of bands performing at this year’s edition of SxSW continues to grow, and so far the state of Alabama looks like it’s being represented quite nicely. Seven acts will grace venues in Austin, with four (that’s right – four!) of them calling Birmingham home. Here’s the lineup as it stands right now:
| Band | City | Additional profiles |
| Act of Congress | Birmingham | MySpace profile |
| 13ghosts | Birmingham | MySpace profile |
| Duquette Johnston | Birmingham | MySpace profile |
| Wild Sweet Orange | Birmingham | MySpace profile |
| Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit | Muscle Shoals | MySpace profile |
| The Escape Frame | Montgomery | MySpace profile |
| Willem Maker | Turkey Heaven Mtn. | MySpace profile |
If we hear of any more, we’ll let you know. If you hear of any more, just add them to the comments. And if we really wanted to, we could just head on over to the SxSW website…
Yes, Josh Ritter was in town last night and he performed. No, we actually thought that he was kidding (at least a little)…
But according to Josh’s post today on his Huffington Post blog, it sounds like it was just that (though it sounds like he definitely enjoyed his time at The Bottletree last night – great pics too). And he did live to write about it…
We also figured we’d use this space to announce that there will be a concert benefiting The Terminal on Saturday, July 26 @ said Bottletree. More information will be following soon…
