10th Anniversary Curators’ Incubator Program
Maryland Art Place
Baltimore, Maryland
May 2 to June 22, 2013
Maryland Art Place (MAP) announces a call for curators to participate in the 10th Curators' Incubator exhibition competition. This program was developed to provide a creative space for the region’s aspiring curators to develop and present their concepts. MAP guides the curatorial process through the counsel of its Program Advisory Committee.
Curators' proposals will be juried by MAP's Program Advisory Committee. The selected curator or curatorial team will be chosen to fully develop an exhibition scheduled for MAY 2 – JUNE 22, 2013. MAP welcomes discussion with curators prior to the deadline to assist in developing strong proposals.
The call for entry requires that curators complete an application form and submit a proposal, outlining the curators' ideas and goals in a statement of intent, while including a short bio for each artist intended to be included in the exhibition. Curators may not include themselves in the exhibition. After the initial review of proposals, a small number of curators will be asked to advance to the second phase of the application process where they will submit additional information, including
images of artists’ work being proposed for inclusion in the exhibition. Curators will be asked to come to MAP to present their proposals and if selected, will receive individual mentorship as they work to develop their exhibitions for debut in MAP’s galleries and to strengthen their curatorial writing in preparation for publication in a program catalogue.
Selected curators will be responsible for coordinating the delivery and both the installation and de-installation of artists’ work. They will also be responsible for unusual expenses regarding the installation and removal of their exhibitions, and must sign an agreement that their exhibition space will be returned to its original condition.
There is no fee to participate in the Curators’ Incubator program.
The deadline for submitting materials to be considered for the 10th Anniversary Curators’ Incubator Program is 5pm, May 12, 2012. Materials can be either hand-delivered to MAP or post marked.

Located in the Crane Arts Building, Second State Press is a communal printmaking workshop whose mission is to foster the development of ideas and innovation in printmaking by providing artists with a professional, affordable, and supportive workspace. Second State Press provides artists with a professional studio with presses, basic tools and inks, workspace for designing and executing prints, and flat files to store work and materials.

The candidate chosen to receive the scholarship will be granted 24 hour access to the Second State Press facility for the entire month of June, two flat file drawers in which to store paper and supplies, a modest stipend, and all critical feedback that membership in a communal print shop like SSP provides. It is requested that two prints from an edition generated during the month be donated to permanent collections belonging to CR Ettinger Studio and Second State Press.
Eligibility & Application
Printmakers that do not have access to facilities are encouraged to apply. Interested artists should submit an application packet to info@secondstatepress.org by May 8th.

Kala Fellowship Awards
Deadline: May 18, 2012 (RECEIVE) or (ONLINE)
Kala Fellowship Awards
Kala Art Institute
Berkeley, CA
2012 Season
The Kala Fellowship award is an international competition open to artists from the U.S. and around the world. Hosting nine new artists at Kala each year helps to ensure that the artistic energy and vision of Kala’s entire community of artists in residence is continually re-energized and rejuvenated.
Artists producing innovative work in book arts, electronic/digital media (video, sound, animation, etc.), installation art, social practice, photography, and printmaking are encouraged to apply. Fellowship Awards will be given based on conceptual creativity, originality and artistic excellence as well as technical knowledge.
Annually, the Fellowship Competition is juried by a panel comprised of Kala’s Directors and an outside Bay Area arts professional. Kala is pleased to announce Dr. Stephanie Hanor, Director of Mills College Art Museum as Kala's invited Fellowship juror for the 2012 competition.
We select nine artists and each receives a fellowship consisting of:
* a $3,000 cash award
* up to six months of studio residency at Kala Art Institute
* 24/7 access to Kala's studio (An individual studio space may be also available depending on proposed projects and schedules.)
* a free class or equivalent tutorial sessions.
* an exhibition opportunity at the Kala gallery of the artwork created during the residency
Eight of the nine Kala Fellowships awards are available to artists from the US (including California) and around the world.
One of the nine Kala Fellowship awards is designated specifically to a California artist living outside of the main metropolitan areas. To serve a more diverse constituency, The James Irvine Foundation generously funds this Fellowship award. Artists from the North Coast, Central Coast, Central Valley and Inland Empire are eligible and encouraged to apply.
Additionally, one of the nine Kala Fellowship awards is available to artists from the US and around the world working in Social Practice. Social Practice can be loosely defined as a form of collaboration that engages social and public interaction as the primary component of the work. Examples include but are not limited to the following: alternative exchanges of goods and services, community-based projects, activating non-typical art viewing situations, social and political activism.
The Fellowship does not include housing.
(Assistance in finding appropriate low-cost housing solutions is often provided to visiting artists by the program directors.)

Faena Prize for the Arts
Deadline: July 6, 2012 (ONLINE)
Faena Prize for the Arts
Faena Arts Center
Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires
Argentina
May 2013
The objective of the Faena Arts Center is to provide a space for the most cutting-edge expressions in contemporary art through a program of exhibitions with a strong interdisciplinary focus.
We believe that the boldest of today’s art can be found along the borders where traditional disciplines come together: the lines where the visual arts merge with design, architecture, new technologies, fashion and literature.
THE FAENA PRIZE FOR THE ARTS
This is an open call to artists across the world that offers US$25,000 in prize money and US$50,000 to finance the production of a site-specific project. The project will be exhibited at the Faena Arts Center in mid-2013. In addition, two special mentions will go to two other projects with a prize amount of US$500 each.
Concept of the Faena Prize for the Arts:
This edition of the Faena Prize for the Arts is reserved for site-specific projects, that is, projects especially conceived for the physical and symbolic space of our new exhibition room.
The call is for new projects in different artistic fields and/or interdisciplinary projects (installations, performances, paintings, sculptures, photographs, works that include design and architecture, film or video pieces, and all hybrids of the aforementioned disciplines) that clearly reflect on the space of the Faena Arts Center, respond to the center and/or occupy the center's space in a significant way.
This Prize is a chance for applicants to produce large-sized pieces, but neither size nor scale is a requisite for winning the prize.
Performance or theater pieces that involve “performances” will be considered, provided that they also include a permanent exhibition.
Eligibility:
All individuals over the age of 18 can participate in the Competition, including young artists, artists with an established career and well-known artists (the “Applicants”). Both individuals and art collectives can apply. Each art collective can present one project. The artists who are part of an art collective that presents a project can also present their own individual project.
Jury:
The prize winner will be selected by an international jury of three experts: Carlos Basualdo, the Curator of Contemporary Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and an Adjunct Professor at the IUAV University in Venice, Italy; Caroline Bourgeois, curator of the François Pinault Foundation exhibit, and Inés Katzenstein, the Art Department Director at the Torcuato Di Tella University. The jury selection will be supervised by Ximena Caminos, Executive Director of the Faena Arts Center.

27th Annual Juried Visual Arts Exhibition
Scarborough Arts
Papermill Gallery

Theme: Ego. Ego is a heavily laden term. We challenge you to react to this term, using it as a catalyst for the creation of your artwork.
Definition:
1. the “I” or self of any person; a person as thinking, feeling, and willing, and distinguishing itself from the selves of others and from objects of its thought.
2. Psychoanalysis . the part of the psychic apparatus that experiences and reacts to the outside world and thus mediates between the primitive drives of the id and the demands of the social and physical environment.
Is ego a human phenomenon? Is the human ego an essential ingredient in the art making process? How does the ego fuel the creation of artwork, and how does it manifest in your work?
We leave the interpretation of this theme up to you, the artist.
Pieces for the exhibition should relate to the theme of Ego, and will be selected based upon a combination of: artistic quality, technical execution and/or conceptual strength, originality and impact.
General Information: Work in all media is eligible, but must be equipped to hang on a gallery wall. Unfortunately freestanding sculptural work cannot be considered.
