  • Denver Art Museum to Showcase 19th Century European and American Collection Masterworks in New Galleries
    Denver — Jan. 5, 2021 — The Denver Art Museum (DAM) in February will present a significant selection of European and American art from the 19th century in The 19th Century in European and American Art. About 85 artworks from the museum’s own holdings will be on view in new galleries designed for these works, including paintings, sculptures and works on paper by, among others, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Berthe Morisot, Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, Édouard Manet, Willard Leroy Metcalf, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Thomas Cole, and Childe Hassam. Curated by Angelica Daneo, the museum’s Chief Curator and Curator of European art before 1900, the exhibition will present a selection of works ranging from the late 1700s through the early 1900s, highlighting a pivotal century in art history and the rise and development of artistic directions from academicism and realism to impressionism. Opening on February 7, 2021, the exhibition will be on view on Level 2 of the Hamilton Building. Visitors to this exhibition will recognize some of their favorite works like Degas’ Dance Examination, A Painter at Work by Paul Cézanne, The Lesson in the Garden by Berthe Morisot, Edge of Wheat Field with Poppies by Vincent van Gogh, The Ten Cent Breakfast by Willard Leroy Metcalf and The Window by Éva Gonzalès. Gallery installation will include bilingual artwork labels, interpretive elements and content designed to engage visitors of all ages and backgrounds We are thrilled to share narratives about the radical changes that took place in 19th century Europe and America through these masterworks from our collection. The addition of the Frederic C. Hamilton collection enables us to tell new stories, and do so in the building that Mr. Hamilton helped bring to reality for Denver. Bequeathed to the Denver Art Museum in 2014, the 22-piece Frederic C. Hamilton collection will be a key feature of The 19th Century in European and American Art, including four works by Claude Monet as well as the first pieces by Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne to enter the museum’s collection. All 22 of the works from this transformative gift will be on view in the exhibition. The 1800s were a pivotal time in Europe and America, marked by incredible change and upheaval. Complex and contradictory, these 100 years witnessed the tension of opposing forces, which will be explored in the installation. The industrial revolution happened alongside the exaltation of unspoiled nature; political revolutions alternated with the restoration of conservative regimes; and in art, the century began with a fixation on antiquities and ended with a march toward abstraction, a shift so groundbreaking that there is hardly any comparison with centuries past. The 19th Century in European and American Art exhibition is organized into six sections, featuring mainly French paintings and, in particular, landscapes, accompanied by portraiture and still life works. One section will present works from the early 19th century, highlighting the pivotal years in art and history following the French Revolution of 1789. The works on view in this section will reveal a departure from the classical landscapes of the 1700s, centered on harmony and balance, and a shift toward individual emotional reactions. Artists began to portray nature as alternately moody or intimate, at times grand and sublime, independent and yet subject to the artist’s personal state of mind and heart. Another section will highlight works by artists who sought more realism, in particular, the Barbizon School, which consisted of the French artists who painted in the Forest of Fontainebleau near the village of Barbizon. Easily reached from Paris, this area offered painters the opportunity to study nature directly, translating it onto canvas without the need to embellish or improve it. Their search for realism and disdain for stifling artistic conventions is also apparent in their technique: freer, looser and more dependent on the effects of color than on the definition of the line. The French impressionists, including Monet, pushed these ideas even further and sought to continue to observe nature directly and paint its real, unadorned appearance in the second half of the 1800s. Inspired to paint modern life around them rather than imagined scenes of a mythological past, the impressionists embraced modernity and the changing landscapes of their times. Inviting criticism from the conservative Académie des Beaux-Arts (School of Fine Arts) that favored grand and historical themes, the impressionists’ subjects included factory smokestacks, Parisians dressed in the latest fashions and ordinary people from the countryside. Painting was forever changed with the impressionist technique of loose brushstrokes on mostly unprimed canvases without the polished definition so revered by the Academicians

The taxes, which are technically called Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance, or OASDI, are calculated at 6.2% of employees' wages. Any taxes deferred under Notice 2020-65 are withheld and paid ratably from employee wages between January 1, 2021, until April 30, 2021. However, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, signed into law December 27, extended the period that the deferred taxes are withheld and paid ratably. The period is now for the entire year − from January 1, 2021, through December31, 2021. Notice 2021-11 makes changes to Notice 2020-65 to reflect this extended period. Payments made by January 3, 2022, will be considered timely because December 31, 2021, is a legal holiday. Penalties, interest and additions to tax will now start to apply on January 1, 2022, for any unpaid balances Employees could see their deferred taxes being collected immediately. Employees should check with their organization's payroll point of contact on what their collection schedule will be. Additional tax relief related to the COVID-19 pandemic can be found on IRS.gov.

  • Amazon Teams Up with Pharrell Williams’ YELLOW and Georgia Tech to Launch New Music Remix Competition to Inspire Students to Pursue Computer Science
    Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Pharrell Williams’ education equity nonprofit YELLOW, and the Georgia Institute of Technology today announced a new educational collaboration called “Your Voice is Power” to encourage middle and high school students to share their voice on equity while learning to code new music remixes. The “Your Voice is Power” collaboration includes five teaching modules with lesson plans that teach coding while kick-starting meaningful conversations among students and their teachers about the importance of racial justice. This collaboration concludes with a competition for students to share their own voices through remixing Pharrell’s new song “Entrepreneur” using computer code on Georgia Tech’s learn-to-code-through-music platform, EarSketch. “Your Voice is Power” is the latest initiative between Amazon Future Engineer, Amazon Music, and Georgia Tech to expand computer science education to more students from underserved communities and groups currently underrepresented in tech. “Your Voice Is Power” is hoping to attract upwards of 100,000 students as a way to add unique, meaningful, and entrepreneurial-minded content to their current virtual learning experiences. The need for high quality computer science education is more important than ever, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that from 2014 to 2024, the market for computer science professionals will grow twice as fast as the rest of the labor market. BLS research also shows that in 2019, the median annual salary for computer science occupations was approximately $48,000 greater than the median wage for all occupations in the U.S. What’s more, while the number of Black students obtaining STEM degrees has increased over the last two decades, Black professionals remain underrepresented within American science and engineering enterprises. The National Science Board (NSB) estimates that the number of Black professionals in science and engineering must more than double to be representative of Black people in the U.S. population in 2030. “This collaboration between YELLOW, Amazon, and Georgia Tech is a celebration of Black creators and change-makers,” said Pharrell. “YELLOW at its core believes that education is a pathway to success. Teaching kids future-ready skills like coding, especially those kids for whom opportunities like this have not been equally distributed, is how we prepare the next generation of entrepreneurs.” “YELLOW’s mission is to even the odds for kids through education. We’re teaching for the future,” said Mike McGalliard, CEO of YELLOW. “Georgia Tech’s EarSketch platform is a powerful tool for kids to explore the connection between coding and creativity. In working alongside Amazon to give kids access to platforms like this, we can help them bring their ideas to life.” “Your Voice is Power'' introduces students to real-world computer science-based careers held by people of color. Through this program, students will meet professionals who use music and computer science to fight for racial justice—people including Mike Larson, Pharrell’s audio engineer; Chalece DeLaCoudray, a music technologist and Georgia Tech alumna; and Joycelyn Wilson, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Hip Hop Studies and Digital Media at Georgia Tech. “Your Voice is Power'' will also encourage students to channel their learning into an original remix of Pharrell’s new song ‘Entrepreneur’ – a celebration of Black culture – using Python computer code. Specifically, they will use looping (repeating) to extend the length of their song, use strings to create new beats, create custom functions representing different song sections, and learn to upload their own sounds to the EarSketch library. “We’re honored to join Amazon Future Engineer, and together build further awareness and enlist more artists to join this program that will break down barriers for students from underrepresented communities,” said Ryan Redington, VP of Music Industry at Amazon Music. “The more we support the next generation of artists and creators, the better the future of music will be. We are proud to work alongside Pharrell, a respected, visionary voice in promoting racial justice and helping students achieve long-term success.” “Across 13 research studies with over 1000 participants, Georgia Tech has shown that students who learn to code through music using EarSketch have a higher intention to persist in studying and pursuing careers in computing – especially BLNA students and women,” said Jason Freeman, Professor and Chair of the School of Music and the co-creator of EarSketch. All middle and high school students around the United States and Canada can participate in “Your Voice is Power.” The first round of the competition will run from January 19 through March 12. The second round of the competition will run from March 15 through June 4. Students who submit their remixes to the competition will be judged by a panel of Amazon engineers, Amazon Music team members, and music industry professionals. Winners will be chosen based on the quality of music, complexity and organization of their code, and their inclusion of thoughtful messaging and calls to action about the importance of racial justice. Teachers and students can visit AmazonFutureEngineer.com to get started, and for a full list of rules, prizes, scoring guidelines, and accompanying curriculum. Beyond this competition and throughout 2021, Amazon Future Engineer and Amazon Music will work with additional inspiring artists to add their songs to the EarSketch library. Right now, students can also use computer code to remix Ciara’s songs “Set” and “Melanin,” and Common’s “God is Love” on EarSketch. This partnership is among the latest in Amazon’s ongoing work to support education and racial equality initiatives in communities across the country where its employees live and work. Recently, the company donated $10 million to organizations that are working to bring about social justice and improve the lives of Black and African Americans. Recipients—selected with the help of Amazon's Black Employee Network (BEN)—include groups focused on combating systemic racism through the legal system as well as those dedicated to expanding educational and economic opportunity for Black communities. Amazon followed this initial donation with a hugely successful employee match program that resulted in an additional $17 million going to these organizations for a total of $27 million from the Amazon community.
