In the words of Washington Performing Arts Society’s President Emeritus Neale Perl, it was a “great day for the arts” last Wednesday as the National Medal of Arts and Humanities were presented to individuals for their immense contributions in their creative fields. Among the honorees were two Washington Life “Perfect Pitch” standouts: soprano Renée Fleming, who was featured in December , and newcomer Jenny Bilfield, seen in the March issue. As the semi-new president of WPAS, Bilfield accepted the award on behalf of the whole organization and dedicated it to Washington&#;s art community.
&#;The medal awarded to Washington Performing Arts Society is joyously shared and celebrated by our remarkable community &#; the many partners, students, educators, artists, audience members, supporters, staff and board,&#; said Bilfield. &#;Together they have contributed to making WPAS an organization that equally values, and share
New Scottsdale Cultural Council chief to rebuild faith
The Scottsdale Cultural Council has chosen a new president, hoping to boost confidence among its arts institutions, the city and the greater Valley arts community.
Neale Perl, formerly of Washington-based Washington Performing Arts, begins Aug.
Perl, 58, said the challenge of running a more diversified arts organization with potential collaborations among international, national and Valley art groups appeals to him.
"I am bringing a Rolodex full of national and international partnerships," he said, while traveling in his car from Potomac, Md. to Scottsdale. "I think there is no limit to what can happen if you bring the right people to the table. This is going to be a golden period for the (Cultural Council.)"
Former chief executive officer and president Bill Banchs retired in August , after five years marked by declining corporate and private contributions, as well as criticism among the public, advisory-staff board members and select Scottsdale City Council members. It was at about the same time as the high-profile resignation of the longtime Public Art director.

Scottsdale Cultural Council CEO brings fundraising expertise
Beginning this week, Scottsdale Cultural Council President and Chief Executive Officer Neale Perl will begin building relationships.
The former leader of a Washington, D.C., performing-arts organization replaces President Bill Banchs, who resigned last August after 5½ years overseeing Scottsdale's contemporary-art museum, performing-arts center and public-art program.
Perl sees his primary duty and strength as forging new relationships and partnerships.
"I'm all about the creative process and bringing together the creative process with the administrative work and fundraising that supports that creative work," said Perl,
Perl is from Potomac, Md., and has held several leadership positions in arts organizations over the past 25 years, most recently as the CEO of the Washington Performing Arts. The organization puts on 60 yearly jazz, gospel, classical and dance performances in places like the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts with about 30 employees and a budget of $ million.
The Cultural Council has about 90 employees with a budget of $ million, about 40 percent coming from Scottsdale.
