The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts

http://www.warholfoundation.org

The grant Program supports artist-in-residence programmes. The Foundation does not have an application form: instead, a full proposal for funding should be submitted as a letter of approximately 3 pages describing the activities for which funds are being requested. The Foundation is unable to make grants directly to individuals. Grants requests are reviewed twice a year in the spring and fall. Address the proposal to: Pamela Clapp, Program Director, at the address above.

Grant Program Guidelines [Revised as of January 18, 2008]. Grants are made on a project basis to curatorial programs at museums, artists' organizations, and other cultural institutions to originate innovative and scholarly presentations of contemporary visual arts. Projects may include exhibitions, catalogues, and other organizational activities directly related to these areas. The program also supports the creation of new work through re-granting initiatives and artist-in-residence programs. The work of choreographers and performing artists occasionally is funded when the visual arts are an inherent element of a production. Scholarly research undertaken towards the development of significant exhibitions is funded through Curatorial Research Fellowships. Institutionally-affiliated curators at any stage of their careers are eligible to apply. Research must be attached to a potential exhibition and curators must have the formal support of their director. Grants to curators do not preclude separate proposals from sponsoring institutions in any given grant round. Grants are also made to support efforts to strengthen areas that directly affect the context in which artists work. In 2006 the Foundation formally designated one of its grants The Wynn Kramarsky Freedom of Artistic Expression Award to recognize the work of organizations with a deep-seated commitment to preserving and defending the First Amendment rights of artists. Named in honor of the Foundation's former Board Chair, the grant rewards outstanding advocacy, legal, and curatorial efforts on behalf of those whose rights to free expression have been challenged. For more information, visit www.warholfoundation.org and click on Grant Guidelines, or email info@warholfoundation.org. Grant requests are reviewed twice a year in the spring and fall. The postmark deadlines for proposals are March 1 with notification on July 1, and September 1 with notification on January 1.

The Creative Capital - Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant Program

http://www.artswriters.org

Initiated by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and administered by Creative Capital, the Arts Writers Grant is a three-year pilot program designed to support critical writing on contemporary visual art through project-based grants issued directly to individual authors. The first program of its type, it was founded in recognition of both the financially precarious situation of arts writers and their indispensable contribution to a vital artistic culture. Through awards for books, articles, short-form writing, and work in new and alternative media, the Arts Writers Grant aims to honor and encourage: - Writing about art that is rigorous, passionate, eloquent, and precise - Writing about contemporary art in which a keen engagement with the present is infused with an appreciation of the historical - Writing about art that is neither afraid to take a stand, nor content to deliver authoritative pronouncements, but serves rather to pose questions and to generate new possibilities for thinking about, seeing, and making art - Writing about art that is sensitive to both the importance and difficulty of situating aesthetic objects within their broader social and political contexts - Writing about art that does not dilute or sidestep complex ideas but renders accessible their meaning and value - Writing about art that challenges creatively the limits of existing conventions, without valorizing novelty as an end in itself Approximately fifteen to twenty grants will be awarded per annual cycle, ranging from $3,000-$50,000. Art historians, artists, critics, curators, journalists, and practitioners from other fields that engage contemporary visual art are welcome to apply. The Arts Writers Grant will open for on-line submissions on August 6, 2007. The deadline for grant applications is September 12, 2007.

The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation (MHOF)

http://www.mhopus.org/

The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation (MHOF) supports music education and its many benefits through the donation and repair of musical instruments to under-served schools, community music programs and individual students nationwide. MHOF was inspired by the acclaimed motion picture Mr. Holland's Opus, the story of the profound effect a dedicated music teacher had on generations of students. The film's composer, Michael Kamen, founded MHOF in 1996 as his commitment to the future of music education. Across the nation, school and community music programs have been discontinued or severely diminished due to budget cuts. The positive effects of music education on children's emotional and intellectual growth have been proven. MHOF sees the importance of music in the lives of all children, and seeks to keep music alive in our schools. Through a process of application and review, programs are selected based on specific criteria. We first make repairs to damaged instruments, distribute refurbished instruments and then purchase new instruments. MHOF programs: The Melody Program targets qualified K-12 school music programs; The Special Projects Program targets community schools of the arts, after school music programs, and youth orchestras.

Artists are asked to submit slides or digital images of up to three wall-hung works in any media (except jewelry and ceramics) that speak to the theme of “R U Evolved?

Upfront Gallery

upfront512@yahoo.com

As we continue to book exhibitions for 2007, we are in a continuous process of building a visual database of local and regional artists at the Upfront Gallery. There is a computer in the gallery which houses artists' portfolios and is available for public perusal - kind of a way to display art that we aren't physically holding. We would also like to make photographic portfolios available to the public - these will be housed in a bookshelf in the gallery. This database will make local and regional artists more accessible to the public, and will hopefully also function as an outlet for commission work and/or sales. Any Questions?
