Phase for Book Projects NOW Open
New Letter of Inquiry (LOI) Phase for Book Projects NOW Open
Form available at www.artswriters.org
Deadline for Book LOIs: May 5, 2008
General Application Phase Opens August 4, 2008
Deadline for Applications: September 22, 2008
The Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant Program supports writing on contemporary visual art through project-based grants issued directly to individual authors. The Arts Writers Grant Program funds in four categories: books; short-form writing; articles; and blogs/new and alternative media projects.
Beginning with its 2008 cycle, the Arts Writers Grant Program is implementing a new Letter of Inquiry (LOI) phase for all book proposals, which will serve as a gateway to the general grant application phase. The addition of the LOI will enable the Arts Writers Grant Program to process a higher volume of book proposals and to consider book projects at an earlier stage of their development.
A streamlined version of the application form, the LOI consists of a project description, a chapter break-down/summary, and a resume. LOIs will only be accepted from writers who meet the program's general eligibility requirements and who have at least ONE of the following:
Have been writing professionally on the contemporary visual arts on a regular basis for at least three years; OR
Have previously published a book with a reputable publisher; OR
Have completed a PhD dissertation.
All writers seeking support for book projects must submit LOIs. The deadline for LOIs is May 5, 2008. LOI authors invited to submit proposals during the general grant application phase will be notified in Mid-July, 2008.
There is no LOI phase for writers seeking support in other categories (articles, short-form writing, and blogs/new and alternative media). Those writers may apply directly to the program during the general application phase.
The online grant application form opens on Aug 4, 2008. Grant applications are due September 22, 2008.

Genesis Project
Call for Artists
Genesis Project, Los Angeles
A four-week intensive, practice-based, inter-disciplinary artists residency
Hosted by Sea and Space Explorations, Highland Park
August 2008
www.genesisprojectla.org
Genesis facilitates an environment wherein creativity IS the act of investigation rather than what is produced from it. As a 4-week (non-residential) intensive artist's residency for inter-disciplinary, body-based artists our mission is to support artists in accessing space in which to work and fortify a practice and a community from which to act globally. By asking artists to commit to regular inquiry (2-3 hours a day, 5-6 days a week) without focus on a final product, Genesis aims to heighten productivity of the collective at work in the project and to sharpen the potency of each artist's daily practice. One day each week will be dedicated workshops and dialogue amongst the six participating artists.
Applications due by April 21st. To learn more about the project and the application process please visit www.genesisprojectla.org and/or contact Project Director Hana van der Kolk at hjvanderkolk@gmail.com
Sincerest apologies for x-posting. If you would like to be removed from this list please respond to this email with the subject remove. Thank you!

call for proposals-
Earth Matters On Stage ~
Ecodrama Playwrights Festival & Symposium
May 21~ 31, 2009 ~ University of Oregon
Call for Symposium Papers and Proposals
"Ecological victory will require a transvaluation so profound as to be
nearly unimaginable at present. And in this the arts and humanities –
including the theater – must play a role."
Una Chaudhuri
Indeed ecology is at the heart of burgeoning creativity and
interdisciplinary scholarship across the arts and humanities. This
Symposium, together with the concurrent Ecodrama Festival, invites
artists, scholars and activists to share their work, ideas, and
passions with one another and with the larger community who attend the
Festival.
We welcome creative and innovative proposals for workshops,
round-tables, panels, working sessions, installations, or
participatory community gatherings that explore, examine, challenge,
articulate, or nourish the possibilities of theatre's response to the
environmental crisis in particular, and our ecological situatedness in
general.
The format is wide-open and we will schedule and shape the Symposium
around the types of proposals received and selected. We encourage
proposals that go beyond a recitation of ideas or positions, and
instead bring presenters and participants together as they engage the
driving question of how theatre has or might function as part of our
multiple reciprocal relationships within ecological communities.
Some possible topics for exploration include: land and body in
performance; representation of/and environmental justice; green
theatre production; old cultural narratives/new stories; indigenous
performance; community-based performance/ecological communities;
sensing place/staging place; devising from ecology; the ecologies of
theatrical form and/or space; animal representation; and application
of ecocriticism to plays and performance.
Please send by email or snail mail, a one-page proposal and/or
abstract by January 1, 2009 to:
