Alice Springs Beanie Festival Competition
Araluen Galleries
Alice Springs
Saturday 28 June to Sunday 31 August 2008
In the vast Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands of Australia's Central Desert the traditional people (Anangu) have been making and wearing beanies for all of time. Traditionally in Pitjantjatjara and Luritja languages beanies were called 'mukata'. They are called 'mukati' in the Warlpiri language. If you venture further south-west, then the language is Yankunytjatjara, where they call them 'muna'. All languages are dynamic and these days lots of people in the centre just call beanies mukata.
This year we celebrate mukata made from emu feathers, seeds and yarns spun in the old way that embody the Central Desert. They remind us you can tell people's address by their head-dress – whether it's a chullo from Peru, a fez from Morocco, a beret from France, or a ushanka from Russia.
What's your head-dress? We invite beanieologists everywhere to join us by making beanies with your own traditional twist.

Interpreting Brooklyn
Deadline: February 8, 2008 (RECEIVE)
Interpreting Brooklyn
Brooklyn Historical Society
The Brooklyn Historical Society connects the past to the present and makes Brooklyn’s vibrant history tangible, relevant, and meaningful for today’s diverse communities, and for generations to come. Founded in 1863, Brooklyn Historical Society (BHS) functions as a library, museum, and urban education center dedicated to the people of Brooklyn, providing opportunities for civic dialogue and thoughtful engagement.
Brooklyn Historical Society seeks proposals from artists and writers for participation in the upcoming project, Interpreting Brooklyn. Artists and writers are invited to submit a proposal to create work in response to our collections. The project will culminate in an exhibition in the Society’s galleries and a series of readings, performances, and programs, all scheduled to begin in October 2008. Thanks to a generous grant from the Getty Foundation, each participant (individual or group) will receive a $6,000 stipend.
BHS will invite ten participants (individuals or groups) to create new works that creatively interpret BHS’s collections. All artists and writers will attend workshops at which the BHS staff will provide guidance in exploring the depth and breadth of the collections, touring the museum galleries as well as the storage facilities where a number of works that have not been seen by the public in many years are located.
Ultimately the artists and writers will identify works in the collections that served as inspiration for original work they will create. Participants may create in collaboration or independently and are welcome to visit and work at the BHS whenever staff members are available. The exhibition and programs will include the artists’ and writers’ work along with the objects from BHS’s collections that inspired them.
Five Key Reasons We’re Interpreting Brooklyn
1. To reinterpret BHS’s collection through diverse and contemporary
perspectives.
2. To provide artists with the access, materials, and resources they
need to respond creatively to BHS’s collection.
3. To create an exhibition and programs of work for a broad range of
adult audiences.
4. To educate the public about BHS’s holdings.
5. BHS also hopes to publish a catalogue documenting the
exhibition, including any fiction, poetry, drama, etc., produced by
the selected participants (pending further funding).
Who is eligible to apply?
Any individual or group working creatively in any media including, but not limited to, visual and installation artists; photographers; writers, composers, and playwrights; as well as dancers and performance artists. Applicants need not reside in Brooklyn, but preference will be given to those with a strong Brooklyn connection. A $6,000 stipend will be given to the selected participants.
Important notes regarding submissions:
Proposals that are not specific to this project will not be considered. Website links may be accepted as a component of your submission. Please do not send original artwork.
Note:
Those accepted must be able to attend a series of workshops at BHS for which transportation costs will not be additionally reimbursed.
Deadlines and Important Dates:
• Submissions of applications/proposals must be received by February 8, 2008.
• Requisite 1/2-day workshops for selected participants will be held on March 25 and April 2, 2008.
• Artists will continue to work to develop their projects to be completed by September 19, 2008.
Interpreting Brooklyn has been made possible by a generous grant from the Getty Foundation.

SIZE
Quilts are to be a 12"x12" square. In keeping with the exhibit's theme, With One Voice, the squares will be hung as one large quilt. This means that they will be hung with the edges against each other and no gaps. They will not be permanently attached to each other, just hung to create the illusion of one large quilt.
A notebook will accompany the exhibit so that viewers may identify the artist and inspiration behind each work.
PLEASE do not deviate from a 12x12 square.
NUMBER OF ENTRIES
If you are very motivated and would like to send in more then one quilt, you are more then welcome to do so. However, please be aware that since this is an open call exhibit and no sign up is required, there may not be enough room to display multiple pieces from one artist. If this is the case, one of your blocks will be shown in the exhibit (you will be given the opportunity to specifiy your preference as to which one you would like displayed on the entry form). All the pieces you send in will be shown in the online gallery for the exhibit. Please be sure to include appropriate return postage. (Multiple entries only qualifies you for one Paticipant Drawing Prize
and one Thank You gift.)

UNCOMMON BEAUTY
Deadline: April 18, 2008
Ellipse Arts Center and the WPA present
UNCOMMON BEAUTY
Curated by Sarah Tanguy
In their second collaboration, The Ellipse Arts Center and The Washington Project for the Arts are proud to present Uncommon Beauty. This exhibition of photo- and video-based works will be juried by Sarah Tanguy, from digital submissions, and will explore the relative definition of feminine beauty.
Sarah Tanguy is an independent curator and critic, and curator for the ART in Embassies Program.
In contrast to the standards of the media and the fashion world, exhibiting artists for Uncommon Beauty will stake out alternative perspectives. While they are important topics, the overall focus of the exhibition is not our society's obsession with diet fads, obesity, and cosmetic intervention. Instead, the exhibition seeks to investigate the underpinnings of beauty and imperfection; how standards and ideals become formed and perceived; and the dynamics of self-esteem, self-hate and acceptance. The intent is to offer something different, unexpected, positive, or ambivalent; something that problematizes the notion of beauty without merely bashing it.
WORK TO BE CONSIDERED:
Original photography, video, photographic and/or video installations, and photo-based mixed media will be considered. Work must have been created within the past 2 years.
Three-dimensional or installation pieces must not exceed 10 feet in height and must be transportable through the 41" X 84" doors connected to the loading dock.
All work accepted and exhibited must remain on display for the full duration of the show.
ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to all artists over 18 years old who are residents of Maryland, Virginia or Washington DC.

September 25th - 28th 2008
ANTI is an international contemporary arts festival presenting site-specific works made for public space. Over the past six years ANTI has presented live, sonic, visual and text-based art from today's most exciting and innovative artists. A truly international festival and Finland's foremost presenter of Live Art, ANTI is a meeting place for artists and audiences fascinated by how art shapes and responds to the places and spaces of everyday life.
Artists and students from all disciplines are encouraged to submit proposals to this year's festival.
The proposal process
ANTI Festival pre-selects a number of sites/contexts/environments that we ask artists to respond to by proposal. Details of the 2008 sites can be found here: http://antifestival.com/anti-2008/call-for-proposals-2008/As the works take place in public space it is essential the proposals consider a site's pre-existing 'audience'; be they passers-by, customers or residents. Alongside those who purposely visit the festival, a substantial part of ANTI's audience are members of the public who come across the works by chance.
ANTI's emphasis is on site-specificity. The festival understands this term in an expanded sense; proposals may suggest works that deal with a site geographically, culturally or by association i.e. themes and activities that the site suggests but may not be physically present in the site itself. Proposals may also combine or link a number of sites.
Proposal form
All proposals must be sent using the electronic form below. The form allows a link to be made to any online documentation artist's may have of previous work and for artists to attach their CV and one image of their work. In addition ONE piece of supporting material ( i.e. VHS, DVD, CD-ROM) can be submitted as hardcopy. Materials will not be returned.Visit website to complete form: http://antifestival.com/anti-2008/call-for-proposals-2008/

The Franklin Furnace Fund
The Franklin Furnace Fund
Each year Franklin Furnace awards grants to emerging artists, allowing them to produce major works in New York. Works may engage the Internet as an art medium and/or venue. Grants range between $2000 and $5000. Artists from all areas of the world are encouraged to apply; full-time students are ineligible.
Franklin Furnace has no curator; each year a new panel of artists reviews all proposals. We believe that this peer panel system allows all kinds of artists from all over the world an equal shot at presenting their work. Every year the panel changes, as do the definitions of "emerging artist," "performance art" and "variable media art." So if at first you don't succeed, try again.
Since its inception in 1985 THE FRANKLIN FURNACE FUND has boosted the careers of such emerging artists as Tanya Barfield, Patty Chang, Papo Colo, Brody Condon, Karen Finley, John Fleck, Kate Gilmore, Murray Hill, Holly Hughes, Mouchette, William Pope.L, Pamela Sneed, Jack Waters, Cathy Weis, and Ricardo Miranda Zuñiga.

Asian Cultural Council Grants
Deadline: January 15, 2008
Project Grants
Asian Cultural Council
Asian individuals in the visual and performing arts seeking grant assistance to conduct research, study, receive specialized training, undertake observation tours, or pursue creative activity in the United States are eligible to apply for fellowship support from the Council. Americans seeking aid to undertake activities in Asia are also eligible to apply.
The Council is unable to consider proposals for the following:
- personal exhibitions
- individual performance tours
- undergraduate study
- activities conducted by individuals in their home countries
Project Grants
Arts organizations and educational and cultural institutions are eligible to apply to the Council for support for projects of exceptional importance involving cultural exchange between Asia and the United States or regional exchange in Asia. Because the Council's program resources are concentrated on fellowship awards to individuals, ACC grants for projects are usually modest in size.
The Council is unable to consider proposals for the following:
- publications
- film and video production
- capital campaigns
- general program and administrative costs
Individuals and institutions wishing to inquire about the possibility of grant support should send a brief description of the activity for which assistance is being sought to the Council. If the proposed activity falls within the ACC's guidelines, application materials requesting more detailed information will be provided by the ACC, and applicants will be informed as to when their proposals can be presented to the trustees of the Council for formal review. The deadline for receipt of completed applications is January 15th for proposals to be considered at the annual June meeting of the ACC's trustees. In addition, a small number of requests in specific program areas may also be considered at a Fall meeting, for which the application deadline is August 1st.
http://www.asianculturalcouncil.org/applications.html
A publicly supported operating foundation, the Asian Cultural Council was established in 1980 to supersede the Asian Cultural Program of The JDR 3rd Fund, which was created by John D. Rockefeller 3rd in 1963. Over the past 44 years, the Council and The JDR 3rd Fund before it have provided grant assistance to more than 4,500 Asians and Americans in the arts. Funding for the Council's programs is derived from a combination of endowment income and contributions from individuals, foundations, and corporations in the United States and Asia.

The Studio Museum in Harlem is committed to serving as a unique resource in its local community and in national and international arenas by making art works and exhibitions concrete and personal for each viewer and providing a context within which to address the contemporary and historical issues presented through art created by artists of African descent.
The Museum offers an Artists-In-Residence Program for three emerging artists who are granted a free non-living studio space, a $15,000 fellowship, and a $1,000 material stipend. The program is designed to serve emerging African-American artists and artists of African descent internationally. Artist's media is not limited and may include sculpture, painting, printmaking, digital art, mixed media, photography, and film and video. Selected artists have access to the Museum's studio on a daily basis.
