CityArtists Project Funding
The Seattle Office of Arts & Culture is accepting applications for 2014 CityArtist Projects. Applications are due Wednesday, July 17. This year, Seattle-based individual artists working in visual, literary (excluding playwriting) and media arts are eligible. Applicants may request up to $8,000 for projects in 2014. CityArtists is an annual funding program that provides support to individual Seattle artists to research, develop and present new, in-progress or remounted work. Projects must include a public presentation within the city limits of Seattle. More information and a link to the online application: www.seattle.gov/arts.
Conductive Garboil Grant
Seattle artists of all disciplines who have a connection to the Pioneer Square neighborhood are invited to apply to the Conductive Garboil Grant, due Monday, July 22. The grant is administered by Artist Trust and 4Culture, with the assistance of the late Su Job’s personal representative Lynn Schirmer. Keys to the annual award are the artist’s ability to challenge creative boundaries and purposes of art, while engaging audiences otherwise unconnected to the arts. Visual artist, composer and musician Paul Rucker received the award in 2012. More information: www.garboil.org.
