Creative Enterprise/ Artist Residency
Spaceworks Tacoma
Tacoma, WA


Spaceworks Tacoma is a joint initiative of the City of Tacoma, Shunpike, and the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce designed to activate empty storefronts and vacant space in downtown Tacoma. The initiative makes no- and low-cost temporary space available to artists, fledgling creative entrepreneurs, organizations, and community groups who transform vacant spaces through artist residencies, creative enterprises, and art installations (Artscapes).

An element of Spaceworks Tacoma, Creative Enterprise provides designers, crafters, consultants and other fledgling entrepreneurs with the chance to test new products and services in a physical space. We are currently looking for artists who can move into spaces on a rolling basis for three or six month durations.

Creative Enterprise is seeking artists or artist teams who:
 have an idea for a creative business (for-profit or non-profit) that benefits Tacoma’s artistic community (this could mean selling original artworks, offering classes, etc.) but do not have the resources to rent a space and develop a full-fledged business
 will primarily be selling services and/ or merchandise
 are able to hold set business hours
 can create an enticing visual display for passersby
 OR, if you have an idea that does not fit the scope of any of the current tracks, but you feel could benefit Tacoma’s artistic community – use this application

 required to pay utilities
 required to hold set business hours
 required to take out general liability insurance
 strongly encouraged to have a free consultation before moving into a space

An element of Spaceworks Tacoma, an Artist Residency offers dedicated practicing artists the chance to pursue projects in any artistic discipline. We are currently looking for artists who can move into spaces on a rolling basis for three or six month durations.

Artist Residency is seeking artists or artist teams who:
 will primarily use a space to develop artwork
 are dedicated to producing art on a regular basis
 feel that a dedicated space would allow them to bring their work to another level, by being able to work on a different scale, work in different materials, spend more time on work, etc.
 can create an enticing visual display for passersby

Selected artists and/or artist teams will be:
 required to pay utilities
 strongly encouraged to have a free consultation before moving into a space

 Feasibility and ability to execute proposal

ABOUT THE SPACES
Spaceworks Tacoma has identified several interior spaces in downtown Tacoma as locations for these site-specific installations. Spaces will vary in size and amenities; selected artists will be paired with an appropriate space for their proposal. Spaceworks reserves the right to pair selected artists with spaces at its discretion. Keep in mind that the available spaces can be rather raw and windows can be expected to have active “For Lease” signs, which cannot be moved. Participants will be required to provide all furniture and, in some cases, fixtures.

♦ Houses, Interiors, and Environments– Is your living space made of reused materials? Have you made a visionary environment out of recycled materials?
♦ Geekcraft and Mancraft– Do you make repurposed items with geek appeal? What about traditionally “manly” items such such as grills, antler furniture and armchair go-karts?
♦ Unclassifiable– We are encouraging the submission of work that doesn’t fit into any of the above boxes.

Craft Corps
Book Participation Opportunity
Vickie Howell


Calling all crafters! I’m gearing up to write my next book, Craft Corps (pronounced Craft Core) which will focus on the community perpetuated by craft and the designers & hobbyists who feed it. As part of the content, I’m hoping to include 50-60 short profiles of crafters of all types. If you knit, crochet, embroider, decoupage, paint, sew, bead, tat, work with ceramics, collage, etc.---I want to hear from you! Whether you’ve found success selling your handmade sock monkeys on Etsy or you crochet chemo caps for charity, I want to know who you are, what you craft and why you do it. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE PROFESSIONAL CRAFTERS (in fact, it's preferable as the book's other content will focus on that)!

I’ve been fortunate enough over the years to receive e-mails from people all over the world, sharing their favorite memory of crafting, what crafting has done for them or what got them started and how they’ll never stop. These stories--from hilarious craft mishaps to touching crafty life stories-- have inspired me to collect more to share with the public, handmade community.

If you’re interested in possibly being a part of Craft Corps, please fill out the questionnaire, cut and paste it into the body of an e-mail, and send it to: craftcorps@gmail.com as soon as possible (but no later than AUGUST 15th.) If we’re able to use your profile, an editor will contact you directly with more info.

Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Fellowships 2008

Deadline: Dec 7, 2007 (RECEIVE)

Artist Fellowships 2008
Massachusetts Cultural Council
Boston, MA


Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) is offering Artist Fellowships for 2008. The 2008 Artist Fellowship program guidelines and application are now available.

Applications will be accepted in the following disciplines:

- Choreography
- Drawing (includes printmaking/artist books)
- Fiction/Creative Nonfiction writing
- Painting
- Poetry
- Traditional Arts

Discipline Definitions (Complete List)

DRAWING
Eligible for review in the 2008 cycle. This category includes work created using the techniques, materials, media, and methods of drawing and printmaking, collage, artists' books, and two-dimensional computer-generated work. Artists whose work predominantly involves painting, including watercolorists, should apply to the Painting category. Work completed prior to 2004 is ineligible.

TRADITIONAL ARTS
Eligible for review in the 2008 cycle. This category accepts work in the traditional arts - including music, craft, dance, verbal arts - created and preserved within communities defined by cultural connections such as a common ethnic heritage, language, religion, occupation, or geographic area. Whether sung or told, handcrafted or performed, traditional art forms reflect a community's shared sense of aesthetic heritage. The folk and traditional arts typically are learned during the course of daily living from someone steeped in the tradition, rather than through books, classes, or other means of institutional instruction.

This Artist Grant category is for individuals not groups. For more information, please contact Maggie Holtzberg, Folk Arts & Heritage Program Manager, at 617-727-3668 x254 or maggie.holtzberg@art.state.ma.us


MCC is a state agency that promotes excellence, access, education and diversity in the arts, humanities, and interpretive sciences to improve the quality of life for all Massachusetts residents and contribute to the economic vitality of our communities.

Visual arts applications (Drawing and Painting) now require digital images, uploaded directly into the application, rather than 35-mm slides.

Artist Fellowships recognize exceptional artistic work and fund artists in a variety of disciplines. Applications are judged through a blind-panel process (with the exception of Traditional Arts) and discipline categories rotate according to fiscal year.
