Ruth Borchard Self-Portrait Competition and Exhibition
Deadline: April 30, 2013 (RECEIVE)
Ruth Borchard Self-Portrait Competition and Exhibition
Kings Place Gallery
London, England
21 June – 22 September 2013
The 2013 Ruth Borchard Self-Portrait Competition is intended to reflect and celebrate the traditions which inform the Borchard Collection by encouraging the development of these ideas into British art of the twenty-first century.
Entrants must submit a self-portrait, but this concept is open to an interpretation that goes beyond passport-photo conventionality. Shown alone or within a group, contextualised, abstracted, trailing narrative or defined by the surface of the image, like all self-portraits, these new additions to the genre will explore the idea of visual identity, revealing and designing it at the same time.
An exhibition of works selected from the competition entries will be held at Kings Place Gallery, Kings Place, London, from 21 June – 16 August 2013, when details of the winning entry will be announced. Selected works will tour to the University Gallery, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne from 30 August – 11 October 2013.
Entry fee: £15
ELIGIBILITY
● Artists of amateur and professional status, living and working in the UK, are eligible to participate in the competition by submitting a digital image of their self-portrait.
● The work can be in any recognised medium including drawing, painting, watercolour, print and mixed media. Photographs, sculpture and film are not eligible.
● All works selected for exhibition must be framed and must not measure more than 100 x 100cm, including the size of the frame.
● All works must be for sale and include the Gallery’s 40% commission in the sale price.
● Artists who are VAT registered will have VAT added to their sale price.
● Entry Forms must be accompanied by a digital image of the work, which should be on CD, in JPEG format at 300dpi resolution.
● CDs should contain only the image file, which must be individually accessible. Hard copies are not acceptable. Each CD must be clearly marked with the artist’s name and address.
First Prize £10,000
SELECTION
● All entries will be considered by a Selection Panel (made up of artists, critics and curators) and applicants will be notified by post or email whether their work has been selected for exhibition or not. The decision of the Selection Panel is final and no correspondence will be entered into on the matter. The prize will be available for award at the discretion of the Selection Panel.

Leeway Foundation: Art and Change Grant
Deadline: August 1, 2013 (RECEIVE) or (HAND DELIVERY)
Art and Change Grant
Leeway Foundation
Philadelphia, PA
Art for social change is art with a vision and impacts people in many ways. It can: raise consciousness; alter how we think about ourselves, our society, or our culture; create a vision of a more just world; be a tool or strategy for organizing and movement-building; reclaim traditional cultural practices as a form of resistance or community building; challenge racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, ableism or other forms of oppression; and question mainstream culture and beliefs.
With the ideals of social change in mind, we created these programs to challenge the norms of traditional grantmaking. We seek to recognize women and trans artists whose work is often ignored, silenced, and marginalized because of what they create or who they are - such as people of color; immigrants; gay, lesbian, and bisexual people; poor and working-class people; and people who take risks with art form and content to share their social change vision.
The Art and Change Grant provides project-based grants of up to $2,500 to women and trans artists in the Delaware Valley region to fund art for social change projects.
We encourage you to apply if you are a woman or trans artist who:
•Has an art for social change project or opportunity that impacts a larger group, audience, or community.
•Has financial need and limited or no access to other financial resources.
•Has a project supported by or in collaboration with a Change Partner (a person, organization, or business that is a part of the project in some way).
•Lives in the Delaware Valley area: Bucks, Camden, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, or Philadelphia County.

40th Street Artist-in-Residence Program
Deadline: May 13, 2013 (RECEIVE) or (EMAIL)
40th Street Artist-in-Residence Program
2013-2014 Residency
Philadelphia, PA
August 25, 2013 and ends August 15, 2014
The 40th Street Artist-in-Residence Program (AIR) awards West Philadelphia artists one year of free studio space at 40th and
Chestnut Streets. In exchange, each artist shares his/her talents with West Philadelphia by leading workshops, teaching classes, exhibiting in the area, etc. Founded by artist Edward M. Epstein in 2003 and run by Gina Renzi since 2008, the program addresses the need for studio space in West Philadelphia, assists artists with career development, and makes the 40th Street area a nexus for visual arts.
AIR is NOW accepting applications for the 2013-2014 residency.
Applications are due Monday May 13, 2013.
The 2013-2014 residency begins August 25, 2013 and ends August 15, 2014.
The mission of the 40th Street Artist-in-Residence program is:
· To address the need for artist studio space in West Philadelphia by offering studios rent-free, on a rotating basis, primarily to those artists who reside in/are very closely affiliated with Philadelphia neighborhoods west of the Schuylkill River.
· To assist in career growth and provide exhibition opportunities for new and emerging artists and those whose work has not been recognized in mainstream venues.
· To enrich the 40th Street area by placing artists here who share their talents with our neighbors.
If accepted to the program, you will be granted a studio space at either 4007 Chestnut or 4013 Chestnut Street, beginning on August 25, 2013.
You will be encouraged to use that time to develop your own creative work. In exchange, you will e. k. miles in studio 2011 be asked to share your talents through a minimum of 40 hours of outreach work, within West Philadelphia, over the course of the year. Examples of this include creating a public installation or holding a workshop or class***. Support will be provided to help you develop this project.
In addition, residents will have opportunities to work together to plan exhibitions, both of their own work and of their outreach work. Monthly meetings (or more when necessary) will help facilitate this work as well as create opportunities for artists to share ideas and foster community within the program.
Our sites are not live-in facilities. The studios are available at all times, but the buildings are shared; you must be considerate of other tenants. The spaces can accommodate a variety of creative activities, including painting, sculpture, installation art, photography, etc. Collaborative as well as individual efforts are welcome.
Ceilings are high (approximately 12 feet in some areas); rooms range from 100-300 square feet. Some areas have ample natural light, while others have none at all (making them ideal as darkrooms). The studios are not furnished. The buildings have small yards in the rear that may be used for assembling larger works, or as a place to exhibit sculpture. The spaces have ventilation, running water, and 120- volt AC outlets. However, the facilities will not accommodate highly toxic chemicals, welding, or high-powered electrical equipment. Note also that within the spaces, there is open access to the different work areas; we count on resident artists to show respect for others' property and privacy.
To apply:
You can access the application in multiple ways:
1. Google doc version
2. Dropbox version
3. Email 40th.AIR.app@gmail.com for an application. Please specify if

2013 Taller Portobelo Norte Summer Art Colony
Deadline: May 1, 2013 (ONLINE)
Artist Residency
2013 Taller Portobelo Norte Summer Art Colony
Portobelo, Panama
June 30 - July 21, 2013
Taller Portobelo Norte was created as a way for multidisciplinary artists throughout the United States to stay connected, share exhibition and career development information and help further the critical discussion and examination of the art and cultures of the African Diaspora, especially as they are manifested in Latin America and the Caribbean. To this end, we have created a year round roster of cultural trips and workshops, of which the 2013 Taller Portobelo Norte Summer Art Colony is one.
Taller Portobelo Norte Summer Art Colony measures its success by the level of creative excellence and cultural exchange that it contributes to an already thriving artistic community and encourages artists to reach beyond the boundaries of any one discipline to expand the possibilities of artistic vision.
Eligibility:
The 2013 Taller Portobelo Summer Art Colony is open to emerging and professional Visual, Literary, Musical and Performing Artists in all disciplines, mediums and genres, and Scholars and Researchers of all disciplines - both creative and academic - to submit project proposals for work to be developed during the 3 week residency. Keeping in mind that the residency is short, our goal is to support participants in realizing works-in-progress and the production of new, small works.
We define the parameters for “artists” and “scholars” loosely enough to encompass a wide variety of projects. Don’t be discouraged if your idea does not fall neatly into a specific box. Present a compelling idea and articulately explain your need for three weeks of uninterrupted time to explore it.
Although we ask for a project proposal, we encourage participants to think of this as a loose plan and come ready to create work without a predetermined agenda or schedule. A big part of the value of this artistic experience is a high level of interaction with peers and the local community. From the waters of the Caribbean Sea and the impromptu soccer games in the plaza, to the songs and drumbeats that animate a local performance tradition called “Congo,” Portobelo provides rich, multi-sensory inspiration. We aim to provide a space for visionary artists/scholars whose work stimulates and expands artistic/scholarly boundaries and conventions to create work that challenges themselves and gives voice to their ideas.
This opportunity offers unique potential for artistic experience and production. Portobelo offers a non- traditional approach to art practice. “Studio space”/“work space” not only include Taller Portobelo facilities, but also the colonial forts surrounding the town, the open plaza, and other designated experimental spaces. Artists shall supply his/her own tools and materials necessary in completing the work. If you have special requirements, please indicate so in your proposal.
United States citizens are required to have a valid passport in order to enter the Republic of Panama. Visa/ Tourist cards will be distributed to you on the plane.
Application Fee: $25
Upon receipt of application and $25 application fee, the selection committee will review your proposal, work samples and references and notify you of their decision within two weeks.
If you are accepted into the program, you will receive an Acceptance Packet with additional information and forms. You will forward the residency fee with the Acceptance Packet. The application and residency fees are non-refundable, so please be sure you are dedicated to attending before you apply. Financial Assistance is available, however all participants are expected to make a financial contribution to their residency.

FACFE Team Returns
Hello Readers:
We're back! Thank you for waiting so patiently while the FACFE Team took time off for a bit of rest and relaxation. Alas, it wasn't completely relaxing for me...my computer developed some issues that involved sending it away for repair--twice. "Sigh!" Fortunately, the repairs went well and I got my system back just in time for the return of FACFE. (Cue: Happy Dance).
Here's the news:
All the best,
Elise N.
