New York, USA The Andy Warhol Foundation The Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant
for writers whose work addresses contemporary visual art http://artswriters.org/about.php?PHPSESSID=df98f8b The Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant is a three-year pilot program designed to support writers whose work addresses contemporary visual art through project-based grants issued directly to individual authors. The first program of its type, it was founded in recognition of both the financially precarious situation of arts writers and their indispensable contribution to a vital artistic culture. In its first year, the Arts Writers Grant Program issued awards for books, articles, and experiments in new and alternative media. In this round, the program's second year, it introduces a new grant category for short-form writing (texts of 1,000 words or less). In addition, the program seeks an increased engagement with article-based projects and with art of the current moment. Of particular interest are articles that identify and explore pressing issues in the contemporary visual arts. Also of interest are texts that illuminate the value contemporary art holds for all viewers through its ability to complicate and enrich our understanding of our world and ourselves and through its ability to offer a space of freedom from and critical engagement with prevailing norms. Through all its grants, regardless of topic or category type, the Arts Writers Grant Program aims to honor and encourage writing about art * that is rigorous, passionate, eloquent, and precise; * in which a keen engagement with the present is infused with an appreciation of the historical; * that is neither afraid to take a stand nor content to deliver authoritative pronouncements, but serves rather to pose questions and generate new possibilities for thinking about, seeing, and making art; * that is sensitive to both the importance and difficulty of situating aesthetic objects within their broader social and political contexts; * that does not dilute or sidestep complex ideas but renders accessible their meaning and value; * that creatively challenges the limits of existing conventions, without valorizing novelty as an end in itself. data limita: 12/09/07 Kontakt: The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. 65 Bleecker Street 7th Floor NY 100012 New York USA tel: 212 598 9900 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.warholfoundation.org/ sursa:artservis -- Moldova Young Artists Association "Oberliht" skype: us.vladimir http://www.oberliht.org.md . . . . . . . . . . . http://idash.org/mailman/listinfo/oberlist portal informational pentru arta si cultura din Moldova information gateway for arts and culture from Moldova _______________________________________________ oberlist mailing list [email protected] http://idash.org/mailman/listinfo/oberlist
