awarded as grants. Of the re-
maining $4 million, $2.5
million goes to the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra and
$1.5 million for Council
expenses.
The Council provides grants
through three basic pro-
grams. The $5 million Arts
Organization Support Pro-
gram helps support Michigan
arts institutions, including
such diverse groups as
Detroit's Attic Theatre,
the Crooked Tree Arts Coun-
cil in Petoskey, and the
Jackson Symphony Orchestra
Association.
"We have a second program
— the Arts Project Support
Program — which funds any
non-profit organization in-
terested in putting together
an arts program," says
Goldman. "That could be a
municipality that wanted to
purchase a piece of sculpture
for the town square, or a
parks and recreation depart-
ment that needs funding for
a series of concerts-in-the-
park, or a church that would
like to do a community-wide
concert."
Last year, the Jewish Com-
munity Center of Metro-
politan Detroit was awarded
$9,000 to stage the "Let Us
Entertain You" Fair and
Festival.
"The Arts Project Support
Program makes $1 million
available to artists and
groups each year.
The third program, for in-
dividual artists, will get more
support and attention in the
coming years.
"I think we're realizing
more than ever that where it
all begins is with the in-
dividual creative artist,"
Goldman says. "So, we hope
to help to support that in-
dividual artist in a greater
way than ever, although, of
course, we're struggling con-
tinually to find financial solu-
tions."
The Council receives ap-
proximately 700 applications

each year in the Individual
Artists Program and general-
ly gives out 65-70 grants. Re-
cent recipients include com-
poser Elaine Lebenbon and
painter Sybil Oshinsky. In-
dividual artists grants can go
as high as $10,000.
Goldman, who also serves
on the board of the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith and the Women's Divi-
sion of the Jewish Welfare
Federation of Detroit, brings
to her position both govern-
mental and political ex-
perience and a life-long in-
terest in the arts.
Her first "serious job" was
as an aide to New York
Senator Jacob Javits in the
1960s.
"It was just a matter of my
wanting to be where the ac-
tion was," she recalls. "My
husband was a flight surgeon
and we lived in Washington,
D.C. I didn't know anybody. I
went to an employment agen-
cy one day and interviewed
for a job as an aide to 'a
senator from New York.' I
didn't even know who the
senator was — I thought it
was Bobby Kennedy. But it
turned out to be Sen. Javits,
and I got the job."
Several years later, when
Goldman was back in
Michigan, Doug Ross, a friend
from her Mumford High
School days, decided to run for
the State Senate and asked
for her help in the campaign.
Folowing Ross' successful
campaign, Goldman ran for
office herself, seeking a spot
on the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners in
1980.
The bid was unsuccessful,
but Goldman, who ran as a
Democrat in a strongly-
Republican area, garnered 48
percent of the vote, surprising
more than a few people.
She describes the election
as her "best loss." She was
then asked to serve in James
Blanchard's gubernatorial
campaign. "I pretty much
