D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival

Deadline: JUNE 1, 2009 (RECEIVE)

D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival®

DUMBO ARTS CENTER
Brooklyn, NY
September 25, 26, 27, 2009


The ART UNDER THE BRIDGE FESTIVAL® was launched as a grassroots initiative by Dumbo artists in 1997. The success of that first event, which drew thousands of visitors and media attention to the then unknown neighborhood of Dumbo (= Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), spawned the Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) . In addition to its year-round gallery programs, DAC has been the exclusive producer of the festival since. While the neighborhood has undergone rapid transition in the interim years, the festival has continued to capture the public imagination and attracts approx. 100,000 visitors to Dumbo each year. The historical area spans the East River waterfront between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges and is bordered to the north by the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. Circumscribed by these boundaries, it is a contained neighborhood. By virtue of its stunning vistas, the backdrop of the Manhattan skyline, monumental bridges and 19th century warehouse architecture, Dumbo is also one of the most photogenic and cinematic neighborhoods in New York City.

The festival is multi-site throughout Dumbo and presents 60+ new outdoor art projects each year as well as video_dumbo, the non-stop marathon of cutting edge video art. Hundreds of local artists open their studios as do Dumbo’s visual arts residencies. The event is about experiencing the visual arts via a neighborhood, and experiencing a neighborhood through the visual arts. It is free and accessible to all while allowing visual artists unparalleled freedom and access to spaces and environments normally off-limits.

In its role as producer, DAC provides access, assistance, insurance, marketing and PR. To date, DAC’s limited budget does not allow for artists’ stipends or production funds, but be assured, it is a goal we continue to work on relentlessly.

Here is a list of the proposal categories (surprise us with new ones if you wish). All visual arts media accepted. Remember, DAC loves risk, innovation, site-responsive/specific ideas. Go for it!

• PROJECT GLOW: Installations and sculptures in light that illuminate the waterfront, Empire Fulton Ferry State Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park.

• SITE-SPECIFIC INSTALLATION AND SCULPTURE: Site-specific sculpture, installations and environ¬mental interventions for the waterfront, bridges, streets, parks, and elsewhere. Artists are encouraged to use sound, light and encourage audience participation.

• ELEVATOR / LOBBY ART: Projects that use lobbies and elevators located in Dumbo, while engaging festival visitors in existing corporate environments. Past projects have included lights, sound, projections and soap.

• ROVING / PERFORMANCE / LIVE ART: Live art activities throughout the weekend of the festival. You may schedule specific times and locations for your performance, or act as a wandering art piece.

• INTERACTIVE ART: Projects that change the role of an audience from spectator to fellow collaborator.

• SIMULTANEOUS PROJECTIONS: Slides, film loops, video and motion graphics to simultaneously illuminate streets, buildings and windows.

• WATER ART: In, on, over, under the water, onshore and offshore, artists are urged to explore the possibilities of art on the river within Brooklyn Bridge Park, Empire Fulton Ferry State Park and elsewhere in the neighborhood.

• LEAD A GUIDED TOUR! Propose your take on the concept of a “guided tour,” to entertain, educate and engage visitors.

• VIDEO_DUMBO: This event is primarily designed to showcase new work of video artists living in the greater New York City area. All genres are eligible, however, the focus of the festival is on video art. Accepted formats: DVD and MiniDV. (visit website for forms)

• OPEN STUDIOS: Artists with studios in Dumbo may register by dropping off or mailing a $25.00 fee with registration form to the Dumbo Arts Center gallery (visit website for registration deadline)


PROPOSAL GUIDELINES
Detailed proposals are required for all categories. Proposals MUST include all of the following to be considered:

1. Brief description of the project/ statement of intent.
2. Visuals of proposed project: renderings, manipulated photographs, drawing, video
3. Technical diagram: dimensions, materials, installation requirements, and all other technical information
4. List of three possible locations in Dumbo.

Country Arts WA: Quick Response Grant Program

Deadline: Ongoing

Quick Response Grant Program

REGIONAL ARTS FUND
Country Arts WA
Cloisters Square WA


The Quick Response Grant Program provides up to $1,500 for small-scale arts development initiatives and professional development opportunities for individual artists and arts organisations in regional Western Australia.

Priority will be given to isolated and Indigenous communities to increase access to arts development, professional development and training opportunities.

Applications may be lodged at any time. A decision will be made within 48 hours and the applicant will be advised within 5 working days.

You can apply for projects that increase access to professional artists and arts experiences for regional communities. If submitting a professional development proposal you must provide a current CV that demonstrates several years experience in the field or relevant training.

A Quick Response Grant allows groups and regionally based individuals to take up an extraordinary arts
opportunity that has presented itself and needs to be responded to quickly. Often these opportunities emerge
during an existing project or in preparation for an event. Or there might be a special opportunity for an
individual artist or arts worker that has arisen at short notice.

However, Quick Response Grants are NOT intended to overcome lack of foresight in project planning or to
supplement project income. Therefore, the application will need to clearly demonstrate why the opportunity is
special for your community and why it requires immediate response. Funding can cover any reasonable
expense such as artists’ fees, materials, travel and accommodation, conference registration fees.

ELIGIBILITY
Regional membership-based, community groups or networks working in a not-for-profit setting, individual artists and regional Local Governments may make applications. Applicants can now apply for a maximum of $1,500 per grant and $2,500 per applicant during any 4 year period.

The program is targeted at supporting opportunities for arts development activities that come up unexpectedly and you must demonstrate that there is no other funding program for which the proposal is eligible either because of its form or due to its timing.

HOW TO APPLY
You must discuss your application with the Country Arts WA Regional Arts Fund Project Officer before submitting your application. info@countryartswa.asn.au 08 9200 6200 or regional freecall 1800 811 883.

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAMME
Turner Galleries

Northbridge, WA
Australia
2011 RESIDENCY

Note: This residency is now only available to Australian artists living in Australia.

Turner Galleries strives to exhibit the work of artists who fall outside of the mainstream of conservative art practise. We encourage artists to approach us if their work is unique, experimental, challenging, visually and mentally stimulating. We also believe in the importance of the connections between artists and the community as a whole, so we have created an innovative ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAMME, which has attracted artists from interstate and overseas to foster those relationships.

The Residency
This residency programme began in 2001, as The Church Gallery Artist in Residence Programme. In 2007, after moving to new premises and a change of name, the programme recommenced as the Turner Galleries Artist in Residence Programme. Each residency is now held in conjunction with Central TAFE, who provide the artist with accommodation and a large studio space. Residency length is four to six weeks long, in consultation with Turner Galleries and Central TAFE. Each residency incorporates a solo exhibition in Turner Galleries and a floor talk. We are happy to consider artists who work with wall mounted works, sculpture, jewellery, photography, new technologies [including computer, film, video and media generated imagery], and installation.

Turner Galleries takes 40% commission [+GST] on residency exhibitions and sales from the stockroom. If another gallery exclusively represents you, we are willing to discuss a shared commission.

Minimum funding for each residency will include return airfare, return freight [to a maximum of $3,000] and $4,400 towards producing 60 limited edition artworks, whilst membership numbers are under 60. Over the past three years memberships have averaged 45 per year equalling approximately $9,900 per residency.

What we require
Each artist in residence is required to produce an edition of 60 limited edition prints or artworks [in any medium], in return for financial support from Turner Galleries Art Angels. A sum of $4,400 is provided to the artist for this purpose.

Residency times
Each residency can range from four to six weeks in the following months:

mid February + March [solo exhibition in March]
mid May + June [solo exhibition in June]
mid September + October [solo exhibition in October]

Collaborations with other institutions
Turner Galleries has an ongoing agreement with Central TAFE to hold joint residencies. Central TAFE supplies fully furnished accommodation and a large studio for the artist in residence. In return the artist must provide an artist talk, or floor talk, to a class of Central TAFE students.

A Reader Asks...

Recently, The Keeper responded to a query from a reader regarding filtering posts by category. Here's the reply:

Since we categorize our entries by using LABELS, it's very easy to filter the postings. (Note: the facfe labels are included at the end of this message in comma separated format).

There are three ways for you to do this:

  1. To filter the listings when visiting fiberartcalls.blogspot.com, scroll down to LABELS on the sidebar and click the category to view ALL items posted using that label.


  2. If you receive our posts via your inbox, simply modify your feedblitz subscription. Go to feedblitz.com. Login then go to subscription settings. You will see the following options on the "modify subscription" page:

    Include posts tagged: Comma separated, blank for all
    Exclude posts tagged: Use commas, blank for none

    Just include the tags (labels) you wish to receive and exclude the tags you do not wish to receive. Separate the labels with commas.

    Click update publication when you've finished editing.


  3. If you subscribe to the feed via Google Reader, Bloglines, etc., modify your subscription to pull just the items of interest by way of the labels (or categories).

    Type the following: http://fiberartcalls.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/labelname

    Be sure to substitute in the correct label you're interested in for labelname. Also, don't miss the hyphen ("-") in the URL. That's not a typo!

Submissions should challenge the notion of functionality yet honor the tradition of wearable art. Entries should range from head to toe, the Funky to the Sublime and the functional to the non-functional. All textile techniques are encouraged. Jewelry not included.

INNOVATIONS IN TEXTILES 8

When a simple strand of thread is knotted, stitched or woven into art, you know that the touch of an artist's hand has transformed the simple to the sublime. Innovation in Textiles 8, coordinated by the Craft Alliance in St. Louis, MO and presented biennially, investigates contemporary fiber art.

This fall, more than 20 local galleries, non-profit and private arts organizations will collaborate to showcase textile arts, guest lecturers, fiber-centerd workshops and programs, free of charge.

This bi-annual, collaborative exhibition will focus on a wide range of materials and techniques; soft yarns woven into tapestries, shaped and dyed shiboi wearables, paper stitched with horse hair, fusions of glass and fiber and quilts whose vivid colors rival the palettes of the Old Master. The exhibits, lectures and workshops will demonstrate how a single strand of thread is transformed, through process, manipulation and its materiality, to a complex and sublime work of art.

Requirements: (truncated)
  • Artist must be 18 years of age
  • Up to 3 entries may be submitted
  • Originals (not copied from other art, photographs or done under instruction).
  • All work must be either fiber in content or executed in a fiber technique.
Entry Fees:

Members of the St. Louis Artists' Guild may submit up to three works for a non-refundable fee of $7.00 per piece.

Non-members of the St. Louis Artists' Guild may submit up to three works for a non-refundable fee of $35.00.
