US. - Japan Creative Artists' Program
Deadline: June 26, 2006
JUSFC/NEA
US/Japan Creative Artists Residency
Program Description
Each year leading contemporary and traditional artists from the United States spend five months in Japan as part of the United States/Japan Creative Artists Program. They go as seekers, as cultural visionaries, and as living liaisons to the traditional and contemporary cultural life of Japan. The outlook they bring home provides an unparalleled opportunity to promote cultural understanding between the United States and Japan.
Cultural understanding is at the heart of this program. It provides funds for up to five artists to complete the residency in Japan. Artists are free to interact with Japanese artists anywhere in the country and to pursue activities of greatest relevance to their creative process. While many artists chose to remain in Tokyo, others have undertaken their residencies in Kyoto or other cities, and still others have worked in rural settings or have visited a number of sites relevant to their work.
While artists will be predominantly on their own upon their arrival in Tokyo, International House of Japan provides in-depth orientation materials, expert advice and professional contacts, as well as logistical support during the residency period.
The Japan-US Friendship Commission works cooperatively with the National Endowment for the Arts to sponsor this program.
Grant Award
Each artist will receive:
a monthly stipend of 400,000 yen for living expenses, 100,000 yen a month as a housing supplement, and up to 100,000 yen a month for professional support services. (While the yen value may fluctuate against the dollar, applicants should be assured that these funds will cover the cost of living and working in Japan.)
a total of up to $6,000 for round-trip transportation for the artist, domestic partner and / or unmarried children (up to age 18) and a baggage/storage allowance, and any pre-departure Japanese language study in the United States.
Because of the limited number of awards, only one residency will be supported for artists who apply as a collaborative team. In addition, while artists may wish to apply for other grants concurrently with the application to this program, selected artists may not hold a second award for financial assistance during the period of support of the US /Japan Creative Artists’ Program.
Review Criteria and Selection Process
The US/Japan program is extremely competitive; only five artists are selected to go to Japan. Applicants should anticipate a highly rigorous review of their artistry and should have compelling reasons for wanting to work in Japan. Their work must exemplify the best in US arts. Generally this means that only those artists who have demonstrated expertise and established professional recognition (e.g. awards, featured shows, publications, etc.) in their field either regionally or nationally or who have shown truly exceptional promise at the local level are likely to be competitive. Proficiency in the Japanese language is not required.
Preference will be given to those applicants for whom this will be a first-time opportunity for in-depth creative work in Japan. Applicants must be able to begin their five-month residency within the period between January 1 and December 31 of the year following the application deadline.
Applications are judged by the following review criteria:
The artistic excellence of the applicant's work and artistic merit of the proposed residency
The extent to which working in Japan is consistent with the applicant's artistic vision and would contribute to his or her artistry
The applicant's ability to meet cross-cultural challenges successfully
The availability of resources in Japan that are necessary to the artist's proposed residency
Applications will be reviewed by a panel convened jointly by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Japan-US Friendship Commission. The panel will include previous recipients of US/Japan Creative Artist Residency, as well as other arts professionals with expertise in Japanese culture.
Eligibility
Candidates must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States.
Candidates must be professional creative artists (contemporary or traditional) working as: architects, choreographers, composers, creative writers, designers, media artists, playwrights, visual artists and solo theater artists who work with original material (including puppeteers, storytellers and performance artists). Artists who create original work in a multidisciplinary form are also eligible.

Salt Lake Community College Health Sciences Center, West Jordan, Utah
Call for qualifications from artists / artist teams interested in creating site specific work(s) for this new Health Sciences Education facility. Budget: $140,000 - Downloadable PDF version
COMMITTEE STATEMENT
The art selection committee envisions an artist’s work in the main atrium and / or the exterior garden level plaza outside the main atrium but would consider other sites the artist may suggest. Works of any medium, with low maintenance requirements, will be considered by the committee. The committee may commission more than one artist for this project or would consider one artist or artist team or works that utilize multiple elements.
It is the hope of the committee that this new art project will embody the architect and college efforts to create a building and campus that is invitingly accessible to everyone and offers areas of learning, respite, comfort, and intermingling. This building, dedicated to the education of health care professionals, has the physical attributes of nurturing and envelopes the occupants much like the ideal relationship of the health care professional and his/her patient.
The atrium and garden level plaza have a strong visual connection intersected by the glass curtain wall. The long sweeping sloped roofline refers to the stunning views of the Wasatch Mountains to the East and to the pitched roofs of nearby residential neighborhoods.

MAP’s Fifth Annual Curator's Incubator Program
We welcome proposals from all all mid-Atlantic area emerging curators
Phase One Proposals: The postmark/delivery deadline for applications is from September 12 to October 21, 2006.
Exhibition Dates: TBA: Autumn, 2007
Maryland Art Place (MAP) is proud to announce a call for proposals for the Fifth Annual Curator’s Incubator Program. This program was developed to encourage diversity and mentor mid-Atlantic emerging curators (with limited or no previous curatorial experience), while offering a flash-point look at contemporary art in our community. Candidates are invited to submit proposals during a two-phase application process. During phase one, interested candidates will submit brief descriptions of their proposed exhibitions for a competitive review process. These proposals must be postmarked or hand delivered to: Curator’s Incubator 5, MAP, 8 Market Place, Suite 100, Baltimore, MD 21202, between September 12 and October 21, 2006.
A small number of curatorial semi-finalists will be selected, with the intention for curators to fine tune their phase two proposals over a two month period in early 2007, assisted by MAP’s staff and area curators. Refined proposal packets prepared by these semi-finalists (comprised of either individual curators or curatorial teams) will be eligible for the final competitive review during the late winter/early spring of 2007.
Both stages of the exhibition proposal packets will be juried by MAP's Programming Advisory Committee (PAC), a group comprised of professional artists and arts educators from the region, committed to expanding exhibition opportunities at MAP by recommending specific exhibitions and artists to MAP’s staff and board. For more information, please call to speak with our Director of Programs.

Call for Writers and Artists
21st Annual Critics’ Residency Program
Postmark/Delivery deadline: July 15, 2006
ANNOUNCING MAP’S 21st Annual Critics in Residence,
Eleanor Heartney and Irving Sandler.
Eleanor Heartney is a Contributing Editor to Art in America and Artpress and received the College Art Association’s Frank Jewett Mather Award for distinction in art criticism in 1992. Her books include: Critical Condition: American Culture at the Crossroads (1997), Postmodernism (2001), Postmodern Heretics: The Catholic Imagination in Contemporary Art (2004), and Defending Complexity: Art, Politics and the New World Order (2006.) Heartney is currently working on a survey of contemporary art from the 1980s to the present, which will be published by Phaidon in 2007. Since 2003, she has been Co-President of AICA-USA, the American section of the International Art Critics Association.
Irving Sandler has been called the premiere art critic of our time, as he has maintained a passionate engagement with contemporary artists for more than fifty years, while keeping his finger on the pulse of what is happening at any particular moment. Starting in 1954, Sandler began taking copious notes of conversations with artists, or among artists, during informal gatherings at the Club, the Cedar Street Tavern, or in artists' studios, and soon after, became the director of the Tanager Gallery, the Program Chair for the Artists' Club, and a reviewer for Art News and Art International, establishing two roles that he would fill for the rest of his career: supporter of emergent artist groups, and advocate critic. A third role, that of professor, emerged in the 1960s. In the 1970s, Sandler began writing books that synthesized his collection of interviews and reviews into broad surveys of contemporary art, including The Triumph of American Painting: A History of Abstract Expressionism (1970), The New York School: The Painters and Sculptors of the Fifties (1978), American Art of the 1960s (1988), and Art of the Postmodern Era: From the Late 1960s to the Early 1990s (1996), and A Sweeper-Up After Artists: A Memoir (2004). In addition, Sandler has written monographs on individual artists, including Alex Katz and Mark Di Suvero.
For artist and writer applications, the postmark/delivery deadline is July 15, 2006.
Artist and writer candidates will be eligible for selection by the critic(s) in residence to participate in studio visits and workshops in autumn 2006. The program culminates with a group exhibition and published catalogue of artwork and critical essays in spring 2007. The 21st Annual Critics’ Residency Program will take place between late summer 2006 and late spring 2007, and is intended to promote the work of area writers and artists, while advancing their careers and providing artists, writers and audiences with a venue and forum to address critical issues of contemporary art.
Applicants must reside within a 60-mile drive from MAP and provide their own transportation to and from workshops and studio visits. To verify mileage, we suggest that you use MAPQUEST at www.mapquest.com.

For additional information about this project, please visit the initial Jamaica Flux 2004 page on JCAL’s website and review the catalogue, Jamaica Flux, which is distributed by the Distributed Art Publishers and is available at the Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning, Queens Public Libraries, and online bookstores.
