Hello! I am about a year away from student loan forgiveness from my MFA, even though I have been doing work in the public sector unrelated to my fine arts degree. I wanted to make sure SFAI alumni were aware that this program is a legit option for your art school loans! Despite the recent Supreme Court ruling, there are still three programs that could pertain to SFAI students with student loan debt:

Closed school discharge of student loans - If you were enrolled or withdrew from SFAI in its final years, you may be eligible for this program:
https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/closed-school

Teacher loan forgiveness - If you have taught full time for 5 years at a primary or secondary school, you can apply for this:
https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/teacher

Public service loan forgiveness - 120 loan payments while working in the public or non-profit sector qualifies you for this, even if it is work not related to your degree! I used this for my public university teaching and research.
https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/public-service

In my experience, employers are happy to process these forms for their employees and the online registration process is fairly easy. Please look into it and see if you are eligible! These programs might not be around forever.

Be well,

Hello SFAA!

Group Exhibition at AIR Gallery, England
Textile making traditions spans global cultures as one of the earliest human technologies. It has been a staple in industry, fashion, craft and decorative arts throughout the ages but it particularly made a resurgence in the 1960s back into the contemporary art world. Since then Fibre and textile arts have been developing new forms and language -becoming more conceptual and cross-disciplinary, even into this digital age.
​
We're are seeking works that explore (but are not limited to) the following areas:

Textiles (Fibre art, Ecology, Upcycling, Craft, Natural vs Synthetic materials, Traditional vs contemporary methods of making, Materiality, Cross-disciplinary art)

Technology (Fibre optics, making and machinery of modern textiles, video/film, animation, VR, 3D printing, digital responses to textiles and fibres)

We are particularly interested in works that cross over between the two but this is not essential. Works can explore their own themes but there must have a link to the idea of textiles, materiality or fibres in some form.

This will accumulate in a group exhibition that will explore the the relationship between textiles and technology; between the ecology and the digital that will take place in March 2023.

Deadline: November 30, 2022

Open Call: Plant Life
Stories, poems, essays, and art about the secret lives of plants and the people who live with them

Is there something strange about that person with a hundred house plants? Or something enviable? Plant collecting can be an eccentric addiction, but house plants and patio gardening kept many connected to nature during Covid lockdowns. A walk in the quiet forest can be rejuvenating. What do plant people know that others don’t? A time lapse video of a house plant shows instead a house pet. Electrical signals in a tree can play a beautiful symphony. Beds of seaweed and forests are the lungs of the planet. Vegetation is the ultimate source of all our food and all our oxygen. Plants have been on this planet for over 500 million years, the Amazon forest is over 10 million years old, and individual redwoods on the West Coast of America are over 4,000 years old—yet they are now facing more devastation every year. We and the trees share a common ancestor, but today we are more detached from plant life than ever. Plants enliven our window sills and sustain our lives; but what do they mean to us, and what do we mean to them?

The London Reader is issuing an open call for stories, poems, essays, and art about plant people, plants, nature, and our interconnected lives woven tight like roots. Submissions should show how characters like us are connected to plants and nature.

And then respond.

More about Cut Me Up:
Cut Me Up is a participatory magazine of visual call and response founded by Andrea Burgay. Each issue presents a curated selection of original collage images that will become raw material for reader-artists to respond by cutting, reconfiguring, and transforming them into new artworks, in response to curatorial calls addressing contemporary issues. The newly created responses form the content of the next issue.

Opportunity: Metro Art invites artists and artist teams working in digital media to submit qualifications, including samples of completed original moving image art, for the 2022 Artist Pool for Digital Media Opportunities. Artists that meet the eligibility listed below and successfully submit to the Pool will be considered for future temporary exhibition opportunities on digital screens at several locations throughout the Metro system.

The 2022 Artist Pool for Digital Media Opportunities will be one of the primary methods for licensing and commissioning works of art for these specialized exhibition opportunities. The Pool will remain active for a minimum of two (2) years with the option to renew for up to two (2) additional years. Inclusion in the Pool does not guarantee an exhibition or commission.

Background: In 2019, Metro introduced digital displays in rail stations that included dedicated space for public art. Since that time, public art programming opportunities on digital displays throughout the transit system has increased, enhancing these transit spaces with dynamic moving image art. Metro Art is now establishing an Artist Pool for Digital Media specifically for these specialized public art programming opportunities, which may include licensed or commissioned video, animation, stop-motion, experimental film, artistic performance documentation, and other forms of digital media artwork. The intent of these temporary exhibitions is to engage transit riders, contribute to an improved customer experience, and communicate broadly about themes relevant to Los Angeles, Metro ridership, the neighborhoods surrounding the transit lines, transportation, commuting, and/or movement and travel.

Upcoming opportunities include, but are not limited to: a digital screen at the future Leimert Park Station on the K Line (Crenshaw/LAX); digital screen arrays at the 7th Street/Metro Center Station and Hollywood/Highland Stations; and new digital customer information panels to be installed at several rail stations.

Metro Art enhances the customer experience with innovative, award-winning visual and performing arts programming that encourages ridership and connects people, sites, and neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles County. Metro Art directs all arts and cultural programs integrated into Metro projects and on Metro property and is the lead for all agency non-Metro property arts and cultural initiatives.

Eligibility: This call is open to professional artists at all career stages who create moving image art in the digital medium and are legally authorized to work in the United States (per U.S. Department of Labor). Metro employees are ineligible.

The 2022 Artist Pool for Digital Media Opportunities Q&A will be updated weekly by Metro Art staff. The last day to submit questions is Wednesday, September 7 by 5:00 pm (PDT) and the last update to the Q&A doc will be posted on Friday, September 9 at 5:00 pm (PDT).

Ecofeminism
Climate change / climate collapse
Systems-restoration

In a piece of poetry, prose, art, or music -- we are interested in music, in every form that takes. More specifically: for the journal, we like pieces that make us rethink the issue’s theme, pieces that serve as incantations and invocations for melody. For the press, we like books that are different from anything we’ve ever published, books that introduce music into their lexicon in stunning and surprising ways. We look for work that defies genre, accounts for the unaccountable, wakes us up, burns us whole. We generally gravitate to the lyrical over the straight-talking and the surreal over the down-to-earth—but also, we like to be surprised.

Featured artist submissions: Send a cover letter (including a biographical note, an artist statement, and a brief description of what music means to you) and five to ten examples of previous art, in any medium. Featured artists illustrate Half Mystic Journal with a suite of 13-15 pieces inspired by the issue’s theme.

Band and musician interview requests: Send a cover letter (including a biographical note, the musical genre in which you primarily work, and your most recent releases), links to where we can find you online, and—if applicable—a press kit. Interviews are published on our blog, sent to our mailing list, and promoted on our social media.

Submissions accepted through Submittable: https://halfmystic.submittable.com/submit

Reach out with your submissions and any questions. If you want to discuss a potential idea, we can also arrange a video call/coffee chat to talk.

It’s hard to know where to start isn’t it? How can one possibly begin to address this sense of loss we all feel? Over the last two years so much has gone missing: family, friends, colleagues, romantic relationships, places, institutions, jobs, prospects, plans for travel, stability, safety, a sense of others, a sense of ourselves. Even when we try not to think about it we are conscious of it, ever present, superimposed over our own world, a second one made up of vacuums, sustained fermata, dialogues dropped, cut-outs and silhouettes.

But in our efforts to cope with unrelenting disaster and upheaval, we were forced to push ourselves forever urgently, desperately forward. Which meant we could not take the time to grieve for what had been ripped from us. And on those occasions where we did stop to reflect on it, the burden of it weighed so heavily on us that we hesitated to share it, even with those close to us
…
Tell us what you have lost. In whatever medium you claim. Many of us already have pieces concerning this very subject we began in the last two years that we faltered to bring to completion. We humbly request you take them out and resume where you left off. Whether you choose to propose them for this exhibit or not.

Please email all proposals to fourteenfifteengallery@gmail.com, under the subject heading “The Loss Show /submission” by May 27th.


We are accepting submissions and proposals for solo and group exhibitions, curatorial projects, pop-up events, workshops, performances and other creative experiences.

Proposals should include:

Project description (1 page max)
Up to 10 images or links to audio/video
Email, phone
artist statement (or project/curatorial statement)


Your proposal can also include (optional):

CV/artist resume
brief bio
the month you’d like to show (no guarantees)
social media / web links


Please note: if your project doesn’t exist yet, you can send representative images of your work.
Please email all proposals to fourteenfifteengallery@gmail.com

Twenty-Something (July 13 to July 31, 2022) explores the transitional years from childhood to adulthood: the twenties. This exhibition will give a voice to the current challenges that young adults face right here, right now.

In an age where everything is being questioned; gender and sexuality, family dynamics, self-identity, relationship expectations, religion, politics, careers, lifestyle, and even geography; there is an incredible amount of room for interpretation and freedom within this exhibition. The most important thing is that the art reflects each artist’s thoughts and feelings on growing up in this time of great societal change. It can be about the world at large, or about your own experiences, as long as it reflects you and your perspective.

Submission Deadline: June 12, 11: 59 PM

For the third iteration of the Creative Time Open Call, we are opening applications to artists based anywhere in the United States or the sovereign tribal nations within its borders.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
The San Francisco Arts Commission invites artists and artist teams residing in the United States to submit qualifications for the 2023 Art on Market Street Kiosk Poster Series.

The total budget is $12,000 inclusive of the artist fee, poster designs, digital file preparation, and proofing. The budget does not include printing and installation, which is managed and paid for by the Arts Commission.

Project Description
The Art on Market Street Kiosk Poster Series has commissioned new artwork by artists on an annual basis, since 1992. Each year, the Program commissions three or four artists to create a new body of work that responds to a theme specific to San Francisco. Each poster series is on view for approximately three months and consists of at least 6 unique images that are printed at 68 inches high by 47 ¼ inches wide, and installed in 18 bus kiosks on Market Street between Steuart St. at the Embarcadero and Hyde Street.

Deadline: May 15, 2022
The Studio Workspace Residency is an opportunity for artists to create new work and fully immerse themselves in WSW’s supportive environment. We invite applications from artists at any stage of their careers. This residency gives artists the gift of time, an uninterrupted period to live and work away from the stresses of daily life. Artists may choose to work in any one or more of our studios: intaglio, letterpress, papermaking, screenprinting, darkroom photography, or ceramics.

Artists receive a thorough studio orientation and are expected to work independently, although studio staff is available to provide assistance. Deep technical assistance can be arranged for an additional fee. Artists must provide their own materials, some of which can be purchased from WSW.

As of 2019, all workspace residencies are fully subsidized! This means that while artists are still responsible for their own travel, materials, meals, and other personal incidentals while in residence, WSW provides housing and studio space at no cost.

Deadline April 10, 2022
Kolaj Fest New Orleans is a multi-day festival and symposium, June 15-19, 2022. Our mission is to create a platform that allows us to explore critical issues around collage (how it is curated and presented, its role in contemporary art, and the tensions between collage as a medium, a genre, a community, and a movement.)

Our goal is to create an event that attracts a variety of people working in various capacities, such as art professionals at museums, galleries, and centers as well as academics, writers, and artists. The general public will be invited to join us for gallery visits, evening presentations, and collage making.

Kolaj Fest New Orleans plays a key role in the work of Kolaj Magazine and Kolaj Institute, as it is a way for us to become familiar with a professional’s work. Presenters may be invited to participate in future projects.

Responding to the Call is how you tell us that you would like to take on a presenting role at Kolaj Fest New Orleans 2022.

Instead of using email address above, please use email form on the NYPL site.

We are looking for flash and micro fiction in any genre; short essays on any topic, including spooky encounters; book reviews; poetry, with a focus on emerging poets; and photography and art. As always, coastal, travel, and adventure themes are preferred; however, all will be considered.

Eligibility
To be eligible, the applicant must have at least one child under the age of 18. Parents of older children with a disability or special needs may also be eligible.

We are inspired by anyone making creative work while raising a family. Given the intense demand for these awards (we typically receive 2,000-3,000 applications), and the fact that the awards are based on demonstrated excellence in your discipline, we don’t recommend that artists or writers just beginning their creative careers apply to this program.

While we don’t require that applicants have published or exhibited their work, the rigor and critique involved in that process can certainly benefit the portfolio. Portfolios of writing or artwork created in a more personal vein for sharing with friends and family are not suitable.

Visual artists may apply in one of the following categories:

Deadline February 4, 2022
Submit your questions about the exhibition through the form on their page (link below).

Experimentation, provocation, and research are at the heart of MSU SG’s values and programs. This exhibition will explore the problems and dangers of the Anthropocene and responses to counteract those, through the lens of artists, psychologists, story tellers, digital gamers, molecular biologists, performers, neuroscientists, designers, computer scientists, nurses, engineers, musicians, mathematicians, architects, and young people.

The Anthropocene refers to the current (geological) period distinguished by the extraordinary impact of humankind on the earth. Often, it is used to call attention to the gravest challenges of the near and distant future, involving climate, ecosystems, and people and to encapsulate the time leading, perhaps unstoppably, to the extinction of life on the planet. What steps can we take, and how can we motivate ourselves enough to take them, to halt this epoch’s depredation of the earth? And how can we create a sustainable and respectful relationship with the earth and its ecosystems and its other lifeforms? This question looms over everything else transpiring in the physical and social world.

The impacts associated with a temperature increase of 1.5°C (the target limit set out in the Paris Agreement) above pre-industrial levels would be severe. Such a rise could seem like a distant reality, but we may reach it sooner than we think. Can we stop short of 1.5° Celsius?

Possible Themes and Topics

Can we retire fossil fuel and turn to electrification? What has COVID shown us about the animal kingdom’s ability to respond to different levels of human activity? What role could technology play in reversing destructive trends and practices of the past? What can be learned from Indigenous cultures and practices to create a vision and sustain a gentler, more desirable impact? What kinds of social organization and collaborative practices could move us in a less catastrophic direction?

Your proposal could be a new or existing artwork, performance, workshop, digital intervention, research project, virtual reality game, or other activity. We strongly recommend that you keep our target audience of young people aged 15-25 years in mind and consider including interactive or participatory elements. We would love humor to feature in the exhibition. Check out our FAQ page, for tips on what makes a good submissions, answers to questions, etc. (https://sciencegallery.org/faqs )

The curatorial team that include seven active artists, scientists, and thought leaders, and will be advised by MSU Science Gallery’s youth advisory board, staff, and advisors.

Rising: Climate in Crisis Residencies at A Studio in the Woods invite artists to face the severity of the climate crisis and be agents of change to guide our collective understanding, response, and vision as we shape our shared future. New Orleans and the inhabitants of our region are frequently invoked as some of the most vulnerable to the effects of environmental degradation. While sea levels, temperatures and emotions are rising, our highly manipulated landscape can be seen as a microcosm of the global environment, manifesting both the reckoning and hope which are required in the ways humans interact with shifting urban and natural ecosystems. As the climate crisis permeates the collective understanding of the future, the challenges faced by Southern Louisiana resonate exponentially. We look to artists to ignite our imaginations, illuminate our challenges, and offer new ways to examine the world.

Rising Residencies will provide artists with time, space, scholarship and staff support to foster critical thinking and creation of new works. The call is open to artists of all disciplines who have demonstrated an established dialogue with environmental and culturally related issues and a commitment to seeking and plumbing new depths. We ask artists to describe in detail how the region will affect their work, to propose a public component to their residency and to suggest ways in which they will engage with the local community.

ARTIST ELIGIBILITY
Local, national, and international visual, musician/composing, performance, literary, new media, and interdisciplinary artists are eligible to apply. Both established and emerging artists may apply, but a dedicated practice and demonstrated commitment to public engagement are expected. Artists of color are encouraged to apply and we are particularly interested in receiving applications from Indigenous artists. Students enrolled in full time degree-seeking programs are not eligible. Collaborative teams of up to two artists can be in residence, please see our FAQ for more information on how to apply as a collaborative team.

SELECTION PROCESS A multidisciplinary jury comprised of artists, arts professionals and environmental activists will review applications in two rounds. The first round will happen asynchronously and jurors will review and rank all applications. Top contenders will be moved to a second round that happens live. We offer to share anonymized jury feedback to all applicants. The jury will judge proposals on the following criteria:

The creativity and integrity of the proposal
Demonstrated ability to collaborate with colleagues and wider audiences
Projects that are deeply respectful of the communities and individuals with whom they interact
The proposal’s public component and its depth of engagement with the community

[This is an excellent residency program, located on a beautiful nature preserve, 20 minutes outside the city of New Orleans. -- JB]

Woman Made Gallery is seeking submissions for our April – May, 2022 group exhibition juried by Sundus Abdul Hadi (artist, writer, curator). This exhibition will be held at Woman Made Gallery located at 2150 S. Canalport Ave., Chicago, IL 60608 in the Pilsen neighborhood.

IMPORTANT DATES
FIRST DEADLINE: January 30, 2022
EXTENDED DEADLINE (submission fee increase to $35):* February 6, 2022
NOTIFICATIONS: Sunday, February 20, 2022
—-
ARTWORKS DELIVERED DEADLINE: Saturday, March 26, 2022
—-
EXHIBITION DATES: April 7 – May 14, 2022

*The submission fee is $30 until the first deadline. The submission fee will then increase to $35 per submission for an extended deadline . WMG offers fee waivers to those that request the need and upon approved application.

This curatorial concept is taken from Sundus Abdul Hadi’s book “Take Care of Your Self: The Art and Cultures of Care and Liberation” and seeks artwork in any medium that explores the following:

“Deeply-rooted is an empowered word to describe any person or community rooted in an ancient culture steeped in traditional and Indigenous knowledge that colonization attempted to erase. It is a word that attempts to describe the multiplicity of ethnicities and experiences related to the international Indigenous, Black, Pan-African, Afro-descendent, Arab, Brown, Latinx, South American, and Asian communities.

Transcultural communities, in all our diversity, have much in common. However, to truly be in solidarity with one another, we must celebrate our differences rather than skim over them in an attempt to boost our similarities. Just as in a family, or a forest, each individual is completely different from the others, I see our interconnected communities as relatives. We are members of an international family with much to learn and teach one another, nurtured through a sophisticated system of roots. The experiences of struggle, unbelonging, colonialism, and marginalization have affected communities the world over, particularly when displaced and uprooted in so-called Western societies.

Every time I would use or read words like “marginalized”, “people of colour”, “global south”, “BIPOC” or “colonized”, I found them limiting in describing the multitude of experiences of a rich diversity of people they claim to represent. These words are often white-centering and are unimaginative. I coined the term deeply-rooted in place of words that identify us as inferior, marginal, or secondary to whiteness. I use this word to describe the multiplicity of ethnicities who are connected not just through struggle, but through deeply rooted ancient identities, familiar spirits, and shared experiences of resistance to white supremacy and colonialism.

This exhibit seeks to center the experiences of the deeply-rooted, through a decolonial lens. By reflecting on both ancestry and futurity, we will collectively offer new narratives, definitions and representations of what it means to be both ancient and novel in a world on the cusp of change.” – Sundus Abdul Hadi

The juror is interested in questions around the following :

Tell us a story about deep roots.
How does it feel to be deeply-rooted?
As deeply-rooted people, how can we see ourselves into the future?
How can we honor our roots and ancestry in our acknowledgement of our plural identities?
How can we define ourselves outside of the limits of the colonial construct while using the English language?
How can we imagine ourselves differently from the way we have been represented by those outside of our communities?
How can we create new narratives to alleviate the burden of constant correction that is placed on the shoulders of many deeply rooted artists?
What does transcultural solidarity mean for you?
Imagine a world where colonialism never happened.
Show us decolonization in practice.

KADIST’s fellowships provide a stipend and an opportunity to develop professional skills in collection research and management. Working closely with the organization’s staff, the fellows become vital team members in a broad international network and participate in the development of KADIST’s art collection and online art library. During the first three months of their fellowship, each fellow will research and generate original pieces of writing about photographs and video artworks by selected collection artists living and working in the Americas (first fellowship) or Asia (second fellowship). During the last three months, they will facilitate the collection’s development and management (e.g. preparing materials for the committee’s review, updating inventory, maintaining editorial content, etc.). Fellow-created collection content—images and written descriptions of artworks and artists’ practices, among other materials—will serve as a resource for curators, team members, and advisors in supporting new additions to the online library, creating exhibitions, and more. Selected fellows’ texts will be published on the KADIST website.

Responsibilities
– Produce original content about the practices and artworks of 6-8 selected artists to be shared with KADIST staff in San Francisco and Paris
– Nominate videos or photographs from the selected artists for the KADIST’s art library
– Participate in the organization-wide review process of artworks nominated for its video library
– Help facilitate the management of the collection inventory and logistics
– Lead and oversee production of 3-5 short video content with collection artists for social media

Qualifications
The ideal candidates for KADIST Fellows are highly motivated, extremely organized, personable, and detail-oriented and envision themselves to be part of an international contemporary art nonprofit. They possess the following qualities:
– Knowledge of contemporary artists’ practices, artworks, ideas, and art scenes in either the Americas or Asia
– Fluency in writing concise descriptions of artworks and artist biographies
– Willingness to engage in research practices, spontaneous discussion, and considered argument
– Attention to detail with rigorous administrative and multi-tasking skills
– Ability to work autonomously while being proactive, communicative, and open to feedback
– Fluency in both spoken and written English is mandatory

Position Details
Each fellowship requires a six-month commitment, an average of eight hours a week. Each fellow will receive a stipend of USD 5,000 for the duration of the fellowship. Remote positions with periodic online meetings are negotiable. The fellowship period will begin the week of February 7 or 14, 2022.

One fellowship will focus on researching artists working and living in the Americas while the other will focus on artists working and living in Asia.

Application
For immediate consideration, please send a resume, a short letter of interest (up to 400 words), and 3 writing samples by January 9, 2022 at 11:59 pm PT to jobs@kadist.org.

Root Division invites artists to apply for A Between, curated by MUZ, taking place in the Root Division gallery in March of 2022.
This exhibition explores how environments shape the perceptions and positions that guide ideas of self, connection to others, and collective activity. It poses the question- how does the amount of time spent in a specific environment also affects one’s vision towards it?
For A Between, the artist and curatorial collective, MUZ, is looking for work that explores disconnections and interconnections through our environments — which include, but are not limited to, physical, religious/spiritual, virtual, emotional, and subconscious spaces.
Artists working in all mediums are welcome to apply.
Exhibition Dates: Feb. 24 – Mar. 23, 2022

I'm trying to get my 2nd great-grandfather's grandfather clock shipped to me in Denver, but because of the state of the shipping industry, no one is shipping art and antiques. Do you know anyone in the Syracuse-area with a van who'd be interested in a road trip to the Rockies? The clock 8 feet tall and already wrapped in furniture blankets. So it would have to be transported in a van. I can offer $1,200 (half upfront, half on delivery). Looking to do this before the end of 2021.

The Migratory Yellow Pages / La Sección Amarilla de la Migración will include an extensive collection of graphic and literary contributions from both sides of the border dedicated to migrants and the ecosystem of the Chihuahua desert.

We hope you will join the conversation and the exchange of thinking with / and for each other by joining us as fellow travelers.

All selected contributors will receive a copy of the published book and a USD$100 honorarium. Every individual or group's contribution will be archived and made publicly available for free on our website, currently under construction: .
This call for entries is being distributed to artists, organizations, writers, theorists, activists, scientists, migrants, and others both within the El Paso/Ciudad Juárez region and beyond.

Working in a collaborative, fast-paced arts environment, the Collection Manager is responsible for the administration, archiving, conservation, and visibility of the San Francisco section of KADIST’s collection (over 800 works) and participates in the onsite and offsite exhibitions of the institution.

This position is based in San Francisco. A remote position with periodic in-person meetings at the KADIST San Francisco office is negotiable.

A working studio space for visiting writers and artists to create, develop their craft and share their work through community programs, The Writer’s Room pays homage to the many ‘writing rooms’ that existed in pre-war hotels where guests recorded memories and linked to home.

Artists in Residence use a desk donated to The Betsy by the Hyam Plutzik Centennial Committee to commemorate the poet’s sojourn as a soldier in Florida during the 1940’s on his way to war. Born over 100 years ago, and a three-time Pulitzer Prize finalist before his death, Hyam Plutzik is the father of The Betsy Hotel owner, Jonathan Plutzik.

Residencies

Since The Writer’s Room opened in 2012, more than 1000 working writers (and other creatives) have stayed at The Betsy and engaged in community service programs.

The Writer’s Room at The Betsy hosts professional artists in all disciplines (in the visual arts we host digital artists only) year round. While artists in all disciplines are encouraged to apply, The Betsy program has a sweet spot for poets. Residencies at The Betsy are typically Sunday through Wednesday. In some circumstances, residencies can be a full week. There is no charge to stay in The Writer’s Room. In exchange for the opportunity, visiting writers are asked to:

Contribute a written piece to our blog (open format)
Participate in a community event to introduce and discuss their work
Donate a recent publication (if available) to one of The Betsy's libraries.


*Writers are eligible to reapply for residency after three years.

Giant, Diversity-Based, Collaborative Art Project Launches. 40 Artists from around the country to be chosen. Applications being accepted.

When we all come together, we can create something more meaningful than each of us individually”— David BloomBIRMINGHAM, MICHIGAN, U.S., May 21, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Artists from around the country are invited to apply to paint a segment of canvas that when zipped together will create a giant public mural called Zip US Up!™. Organizer David Bloom said the name represents a combination of diversity, creativity, and collaboration which will result in a 175-foot long unified and highly visible work of art using real zippers to join forty canvas segments together. The mural will be displayed in the windows of the newly opened Youth Wing of the Baldwin Public Library, overlooking the city's central plaza in downtown Birmingham, Michigan, a Metropolitan Detroit community.

What Is It?
Zip US Up!™ is an artistic statement that affirms when we all come together, we can create something more meaningful than each of us individually. Per Bloom, this past year has shown that we all need to reach out and respectfully collaborate if our society is going to collectively improve itself and prosper for everyone’s benefit.


What Makes This Project Unique?
Forty artists selected from the Call for Entry will be assigned and provided with an 18” (H) x 56” (L) primed canvas panel that has been prepared for hanging with half of a multicolored Riri metal zipper sewn along each side.

Participating artists will be asked to collaborate with the adjacent artists assigned to the right and left of them to make a cohesive piece of artwork that uniquely represents their artistic style—while using the predetermined connecting points provided on the canvas. There is no requirement on theme, genre, colors, or style provided there is some visible form of cohesion/transition and/or flow between the adjacent panels.

Upon completion, the canvases will be zipped together to create a 175-foot mural to be on display for an eight-month exhibit from October 2021 through May 2022. Segments will be available for sale and sent to purchasers following the exhibition.


Who Picks the Artists?
The jury panel is composed of the following:

• Barbara Heller—Director and Conservator of Special Projects at the Detroit Institute of Arts and Birmingham Public Arts Board Chair
• Laura Whitesides Host—Artist and instructor at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center and Lawrence Street Gallery co-owner
• Chad Smith—Drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers and philanthropist
• Ilham Mahfouz—Syrian American artist whose artwork has been shown in the U.S. and abroad
• Gerard Marti – Owner/Artist of the Townsend Street Gallery
• David Chung—University of Michigan MFA Program Director/Artist
• Doran Brooks—Executive Chef/Operator of White Wolf Patisserie in Clawson, MI
• Izegbe D. N’Namdi—Executive Director, N’Namdi Center for Contemporary Art in Detroit
• Joyce Riamando—Artist/Author, Founding Director of the Imagine That! Co-op and Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center Education Coordinator in Long Island, NY
• Aaron Cohen—Library consultant and architect/artist


Awards
• 1st Prize: $2,100 (or higher based on additional fundraising) equally divided between the 3 artists with the best collaboration.
• 2nd and 3rd prizes (TBD based on additional fundraising)
• SEE sunglasses will be raffled to one of the selected artists

Artists are invited to apply through CaFĖ™ by sharing examples of their work with a deadline of June 16th. https://artist.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=8913.

My girlfriend (a former SFAI employee) is being constantly harassed by alumni who call themselves the Kazoo 5. There is a series videos that are being shared and false statements made to cyber bullying from members of the community.

This needs to stop now!

Publicly shaming a person and posting their new place of work is frightening and stalker like.

If you clearly don’t understand the hurt you are causing .

Here are a few definitions to help.

Definition of Freedom of Speech: the right to express any opinions without censorship or restraint.

Well you can say what you want but there are consequences for actions. In a public form there should be respect .

Definition of Harassment : targeted someone based on race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, religious practice, age, disability or sexual orientation.

Now Stalking generally refers to a clear pattern of conduct through which the perpetrator causes the victim reasonable fear for their safety or their family's safety. Interstate stalking is a federal crime

Which you have caused al of the above Margret Bradley with your video.

Some states punish stalking as a form of "menacing." Menacing can often include ongoing actions, such as stalking someone, which cause reasonable fear in the victim. Menacing also often includes single acts which are purposefully intended to create a reasonable fear in someone, such as brandishing a weapon.

This is what the community has allowed the Kazoo 5 to do.

Maybe, just maybe you can be apart of a community instead of tearing it apart. Blame the institution not the person.

podcaster-in-residence to explore contemporary art in an expanded field.
Investigating the myriad intersections within the sphere of arts and culture, Raw Material is not bound
to works in SFMOMA’s collection or the walls that house them. This season, we are interested in
proposals related to themes of interconnectivity, access, and kinship in the Black community. Proposal
submissions will be considered from March 8

SFMOMA aims to partner with producers who have a shared interest in telling engaging stories that are
thoughtful and informed. Through compelling narratives, we will provide rich aural experiences that
expand the world of art to listeners of all audiences. Foregrounding human-centered stories over
scholarly authority, and highlighting the value of the audience, Raw Material engages with art in a way
that is accessible. Interconnectedness is a theme that aligns with these goals and is a concept we
encourage submissions to explore. Here are a few podcasts we’re listening to for Season 7 inspiration:
The Nod: How To Make Free People
You Had Me At Black - At the House: Radical Imagination

SFMOMA Podcast History
Since the 1980s, SFMOMA has been a pioneer in the arts and technology. In 2005, SFMOMA became
one of the first fine art museums to create a podcast. The “SFMOMA Artcast” was a bimonthly digest of
goings-on at the museum, published for over a decade, making it one of the longest-running arts and
culture podcasts to-date. It was described to audiences as “bringing you closer to the voices of artists,
writers, curators, musicians, and visitors as they respond to artworks on view at SFMOMA.” When the
museum re-launched in 2016, so did its podcast, newly titled Raw Material and newly focused outside
the walls of the museum. Each season focuses on “Art and...” an intersecting theme such as sexuality,
social justice, the land, the occult. Moving forward, our continued mission will be to explore the ways in
which this podcast can push through the boundaries of the institution and expand access to the arts
through audio storytelling.

Animating Civic Action for Students
Project Announcement for Independent Contractors

The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) is looking for eight artists to visualize and animate stories to inspire civic engagement.

OSPI has an ambitious project to support civic engagement in public K–12 schools throughout Washington state. Civic discourse is essential in shaping our understanding of a more inclusive, diverse, equitable, and just society. The goal of this project is to support our educators with inspiring content and materials to facilitate civil discourse within their classrooms.

A story-centric approach:
We plan to create eight animated stories gathered from individuals with experiences in one of the eight defined keystone topics outlined below. Each contributor's story—the individual sharing their story—will be professionally recorded and edited to an estimated length of 8–11 minutes. This story will be the foundation for the animation. Our goal is to preserve the authenticity of the story while protecting the identity of the contributor. Some stories will be challenging to hear—and that is the point. These stories are prompts for the conversations we need to start having to grow. That is why we are taking a story-centric to inspiring civic engagement.

Here is an example of a story:
https://youtu.be/ug4uSzHOF3A

Selected artists will receive an edited interview with an estimated length of 8–11 minutes. OSPI will also include notes and supporting materials based on the interview. Minimal art direction will be provided. We are expecting your original authorship, creativity, and artistic expression to visualize these stories. You will have to create a world and the characters living in that world in any medium you see fit, as long as the final format can be played as a video. We will provide the edited interview, and we want your original authorship for the animated visualization based on the provided recorded story. This project affords the opportunity for you to do your work, the way you see it. However, we must adhere to our mission, vision, and values stated below. We will not accept content that appears insensitive, perpetuates stereotypes, or drastically deviates from the provided storyline.

Admiring Hardship vs. Amplifying Voices:
Our goal isn't to admire the hardship that our story contributors are facing. Our priority is to bring others into an individual's experience to gain empathy, appreciation, and illuminate a pathway to empower change. Civic action starts by understanding the experience, the context, and areas where we can improve as a community. The civic action component engages students to push beyond appreciation and awareness, and to harness their voice and agency to make a difference.

What is Civics?
Civics is not just the branches of government. Students must understand that in a constitutional democracy, healthy communities are built and maintained by effective, continued participation in civic life. Additionally, students should be provided with the tools and support to learn how to effectively act on issues they care about. To this end, the Social Studies team within OSPI, in collaboration with educational partners, is developing this project to help students and educators recognize opportunities for student civic engagement by highlighting civic problems and solutions.

2021 Civics Topics We Are Animating:
Youth Experiencing Homelessness
Environmental Justice
Disability Justice
Racial Justice
Immigration and Migration
Impacts of incarceration
Tribal sovereignty and Native identity
LGBTQIA+

Project Outline:
The components of each animated short consists of the following:
A recorded interview from a contributor provided by OSPI.
The artist will provide a treatment for the animation for approval. The treatment will include the art direction, storyboard, primary character development, and additional elements that require communication to understand the animation as a whole.
The artist will provide an original animated video. This video will be the original work of the selected artist. Incorporated elements under copyright will be rejected.
OSPI has resources you can use like Musicbed.com. The artist will be required to select music (if that’s your direction) and time the animation to those incorporated audio elements.

Empowering Youth Voice:
Once animated shorts have been produced, education partners will create civic lessons correlated to each animated story. We anticipate these lessons will cross content areas, grade levels, and meet multiple Social Studies Learning Standards for and bring a valuable teaching tool to social studies educators across Washington state. Animators will be credited in the final product. Final materials will be licensed under Creative Commons and distributed without charge. This product will not be permitted for resale.





About OSPI and our initiatives
OSPI is the primary agency charged with overseeing public K–12 education in Washington state. Working with the state's 295 public school districts and 6 state-tribal education compact schools, OSPI allocates funding and provides tools, resources, and technical assistance so every student in Washington is provided a high-quality public education.

You can learn more by visiting our website at Http://www.k12.wa.us

Vision, Mission, and Values
Vision: All students prepared for post-secondary pathways, careers, and civic engagement.

Mission: Transform K-12 education to a system that is centered on closing opportunity gaps and is characterized by high expectations for all students and educators. We achieve this by developing equity-based policies and supports that empower educators, families, and communities.

Values: Ensuring Equity, Collaboration and Service, Achieving Excellence through Continuous Improvement, Focus on the Whole Child

Equity


Each student, family, and community possesses strengths and cultural knowledge that benefits their peers, educators, and schools. Ensuring educational equity:

Goes beyond equality; it requires education leaders to examine the ways current policies and practices result in disparate outcomes for our students of color, students living in poverty, students receiving special education and English Learner services, students who identify as LGBTQIA+, and highly mobile student populations.
Requires education leaders to develop an understanding of historical contexts; engage students, families, and community representatives as partners in decision-making; and actively dismantle systemic barriers, replacing them with policies and practices that ensure all students have access to the instruction and support they need to succeed in our schools.


Submission Process:

Please submit your portfolio to the OSPI Communications Office at commteam@k12.wa.us. Submissions without a portfolio or examples of your work will not be considered. Include ‘Animating Civic Action’ in the subject of the email. Reels are great, but we would also like to see how you handle the story from start to finish through examples of completed work. We will do our first round of reviews on March 24th, and close submissions April 1st.

We want to know if this project connects with you. Please provide a statement of interest.

Please provide a short statement with how you would approach the attached story titled, 'Jared.' The link is provided above. One to two paragraphs are sufficient.

We will ask the successful candidate to work remotely during this time, as our office remains open only in limited capacity. Please provide a statement affirming you will be able to complete this project remotely.


Time Schedule and budget:

Stories are not identical in complexity. We have allotted 6–8 weeks to produce each animated short. We are planning for a project start date of April 1, 2021 for each animation artist. Our budget is $900–1,300 weekly with a 6–8 week timeline per animation. If you are awarded the contract, rates and schedules will be negotiated based on the length and complexity of the story. Each animation would need to be completed by June 30th.

We appreciate your consideration for this project. We are looking forward to seeing your work, and thank you for your time.

Art Handlxrs* aims to connect the community through mixers, teach basic skill sets and techniques through workshops, and eventually provide training for interested individuals to learn how to handle and install artwork in partnership with local institutions.

This is a growing grants database with fundraising opportunities focusing on awards averaging $1,000+, prioritize BIPOC and LGBTQIA+, and unrestricted funding.

In 2016, I started Now Be Here because the same artists were being shown. I thought if we show how many more artists were available and make it easy for curators, galleries and collectors they might expand the artists they exhibit. My hope is this site will make it even easier to connect and support artists. But it needs you, so please register. Artist who participated in events need to register their work since I do not have the rights to your images.

All women-identifying and non-binary artists are welcome to join this free artist directory. This directory is not a platform to sell your work but to share your work and drive people to your website or social media account where they can find out more about your creative practice. Please fill out the form completely so visitors to the site can filter and find your work easily.

The Internship Program provides an opportunity to gain experience in all aspects of managing an arts organization and gallery. By assisting the staff and working with artists at the gallery, interns will become familiar with the unique nature of A.I.R. and become a part of its rich history. The work includes direct contact with the public, assisting with mailings and gallery publicity, cataloging incoming information and facilitating communication of information between the staff, the artists and the public. Past projects have included organizing the archive of historic documents, coordinating open-call exhibitions, planning a panel discussion, writing grant proposals, designing press materials, website upkeep and online social networking.

Each exhibition selected by the Exhibition Committee will be on show for 4 weeks. A.I.R. Gallery’s Executive Director, Director of Fellowship, and staff members will provide professional curatorial support for the successful production of the exhibition. In addition, the gallery will also assist with the exhibition promotion by using our special press database and reaching out to our email and social network subscriptors. The gallery also welcomes artists and curators to create exhibition postcards and public programs related to the exhibition.

The A.I.R. Fellowship Program was established in 1993 by former artist member, Stephanie Bernheim, in order to support underrepresented and emerging self-identified women and non-binary artists in New York City. Each year, six artists are awarded a year-long fellowship to develop and exhibit a project at A.I.R.



In the last 25 years, more than 100 artists have had the opportunity to have their first solo exhibition in New York City with the support of the A.I.R. community. This program encourages artistic experimentation and rigor by providing a space where feminist historical precedence and intergenerational dialogue are at the forefront. Essential to this process is a series of professional development workshops, close collaboration with an A.I.R. artist-mentor, scheduled studio visits through the year—including one with the panelists—and participation in the Unforgettables Reading/Working Group.

Since 2009, A.I.R. Gallery names one yearly A.I.R. Fellowship seat in memory of the artist, activist, writer, and feminist Emma Bee Bernstein (1985-2008). In recognition of Emma’s significant contributions as a young artist, the youngest A.I.R. Fellowship recipient receives the honor of holding the Emma Bee Bernstein Fellowship.

As a feminist artist-run organization with a self-directed governing body, A.I.R. is an alternative cultural institution that is supported by a network of active artist participants. Its existence was fundamental in the careers of diverse artists such as Nancy Spero, Ana Mendieta, Mary Beth Edelson, Judith Bernstein, Howardena Pindell, as well as recent artists like Kameelah Rashid, Shadi Harouni, Juliana Cerqueira Leite and more. Throughout its history, A.I.R. has developed a number of inclusive and broad-based artist programs.

Kolaj Magazine‘s Artist Directory is a tool for organizing and cataloguing artists who work in the medium of collage. Its audience includes the general public as well as independent curators, art venues, and writers.

Project management for curators and artists

Artist Relief will distribute $5,000 grants to artists facing dire financial emergencies due to COVID-19; serve as an ongoing informational resource; and co-launch the COVID-19 Impact Survey for Artists and Creative Workers, designed by Americans for the Arts, to better identify and address the needs of artists.

The Biennial exhibition An A-Historical Daydream will investigate an idea of malleable time and space across a variety of histories. Histories are often singular narratives: they are agendized and unbalanced, and often promote a binary idea of ‘us vs. them’ or ‘conqueror and conquered.’ This exhibition invites artists to reconsider the popular histories that we have been taught, and to then radically imagine a space-time dimension in which colonialism—and hegemonic structures—never existed or existed in a different form. The exhibition asks artists to examine the breadth of speculative possibilities from both micro and macro angles. Artists can choose to focus on singular themes that are often associated with historical moments or identities, or they may choose to take a more directly narrative approach to fully exploring the possibility of entirely new worlds.
