| We’re thrilled to announce that we have been recommended for funding of $15,000 through the National Endowment for the Arts Art Works program. The Art Works category is the NEA’s largest funding category and supports projects that focus on the creation of art that meets the highest standards of excellence, public engagement with diverse and excellent art, lifelong learning in the arts, and/or the strengthening of communities through the arts. For more information on projects included in the NEA grant announcement, visit arts.gov/news.
We will select two Artists-in-Residence for 2018, who will submit up to 15 videotapes each for preservation and inclusion in the Media Burn Archive. We will collaborate with the artists throughout the process of selecting the materials, digitizing, describing, providing contextual information, editing short clips, and creating public events to screen the finished works.
Please stay tuned for updates! |
