$13,000 Maine Performing Arts Fellowship deadline is approaching
May 26th, 2010
The $13,000 Performing Arts Fellowship Award deadline is approaching.
Please help get the word out to Maine performing artists who might be
interested. This is a fantastic opportunity.
Individual Artist Fellowship award in the Performing Arts, Deadline June
04, 2010.
The Individual Artist Fellowship rewards the excellence of a Maine
artist with a $13,000 award. The award is also designed to promote
public awareness of Maine’s creative sector by highlighting the work of
the grantee.
The fellowship award is designed for performing arts creators. The grant
identifies a creator as an artist who produces the majority-share of a
creative original work. For example, a composer qualifies but a musician
does not; a singer/songwriter qualifies but a singer does not; a
choreographer qualifies but a dancer does not; a set designer qualifies
but a set carpenter does not; a theatre director qualifies but a theatre
actor does not; a film director qualifies but a cameraman does not.
These examples are meant to illustrate the concept of ‘majority-share of
a creative original work’ and are not intended to limit the kind of
applicants beyond that point.
Playwrights and screenwriters may apply to the Performing Arts
Fellowship if they play an important part in the production of the work.
Otherwise playwrights, screenwriters, poets and other literary artists
should apply for the Literary Arts Fellowship. There are also
fellowships for the visual arts and for the traditional arts.
You can learn more form the grants page on the Maine Arts Commission
website.
