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.

Call for Artists: Contemporary Blackwork

Deadline: August 1, 2012 (RECEIVE)

Call for Artists
Contemporary Blackwork
The Embroiderers' Guild of America
EGA National Headquarters
Louisville, Kentucky
February 1 - June 29, 2013


The Embroiderers' Guild of America is seeking work for an exhibition of contemporary blackwork embroidery that will be on display at EGA National Headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky from February 1 - June 29, 2013.

All members of the EGA, the Embroiderers Association of Canada, the Embroiderers' Guild UK, the Association of New Zealand Embroiderers Guilds, the Australia Embroiderers Guilds, and the American Needlepoint Guild are invited to enter.

Contemporary blackwork--work of the present time with a freer style than classic blackwork consisting of colored, black, and gray patterns as fillings and/or design units. Blackwork is the most elegant, graphic, and entrancing of the counted works. This exhibit shows that blackwork can be taken from a stitched black outline filled with prim patterns to modern, fine art of many colors and directions.

Guest curators Shirley Kay Wolfersperger, Carole Rinard, and Ann Erdmann are looking for works with artistic merit that have been completed since 2008. Contemporary blackwork should be the main feature of the pieces. Works should be no longer than sixteen inches (41 cm) on any side, including a frame if applicable. Three dimensional works will also be accepted (16” max. in any direction.)

CD Entries will be accepted only.

There is a $30 non-refundable fee for up to three entries. Artists whose works are accepted will be responsible for shipping charges to and from EGA. Each entrant will receive a CD of all the accepted pieces.

All accepted artists will be asked to provide a few sentences about their work.

For more information please email Shirley Kay Wolfersperger at eskaydubu@gmail.com
