Regional Arts & Culture Council to Award Fellowship in Media Arts
The Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC) is seeking applications for the 9th Annual RACC Artist Fellowship Award. This year, RACC intends to award one $20,000 Fellowship to a Media Artist. Media arts include film/video (narrative, documentary, animation, experimental) and audio.
RACC’s Artist Fellowship Award was established in 1999 to honor and support local artists of the highest artistic merit. Through discipline, rigor, curiosity, singularity, and generosity, these citizens craft an idea, hone a vision, and develop a body of work that reflects the shape of our region and the voice of our time. RACC’s Artist Fellowship Awards are intended to recognize the spirit of these artists, and to reward their accomplishments. The accompanying cash award allows artists to explore a particular project or sustain and enhance their artistic process.
Artists who are current, physical residents of Clackamas, Multnomah or Washington counties are eligible to apply. Applicants must have lived in Oregon for a minimum of five years, and have been practicing in their discipline for at least 10 years. Additional criteria apply. Guidelines can be downloaded from the RACC website and access to the online application form at www.racc.org.
To be eligible to apply, applicants must submit electronically an Intent to Apply form, no later than 5:00pm, Wednesday, May 2, 2007. The deadline for electronic submission of the application is 5:00 PM Wednesday, May 9, 2006. The Intent to Apply form and the application are only available through the RACC online grant system.
Past recipients of the Individual Artist Fellowships have included: Mary Oslund and Obo Addy, Performing Arts (1999); Christine Bourdette and Terry Toedtemeier, Visual Arts (2000); Michele Glazer, Literary Arts, and Jim Blashfield, Media Arts (2001); Tomas Svoboda and Keith Scales, Performing Arts (2002); Judy Cooke and Michael Brophy, Visual Arts (2003); Chel White, Media Arts, Craig Lesley, Literary Arts (2004); Thara Memory, Performing Arts (2005) and Henk Pander, Visual Arts (2006).
