Creative Capital
http://www.creative-capital.org/
Creative Capital is a new, national organization supporting visual artists who
are pursuing innovative approaches to form and/or content in the visual,
performing, and media arts. Creative Capital will work closely with its funded
artists to provide audience development, marketing and other forms of assistance
tailored to individual projects. Artists will, in return, share a portion of
their proceeds with Creative Capital, enabling the fund to support more artists
in the future. Creative Capital funds artist projects in four disciplines:
visual arts (includes installation art, painting, fiber art, mixed media works,
public art, etc.), film/video arts, performing arts (includes music, dance,
theater, puppetry, performance art, etc.), and emerging art fields (includes all
forms of digital work, and experimental literature). Projects that transcend
traditional discipline boundaries are highly encouraged. Creative Capital
operates on a two-year grant cycle, funding alternative disciplines each year.
The first year of each cycle, we issue grants in visual and film/video arts; the
second year, performing and emerging arts. For the 2004-05 grant round, Creative
Capital will be awarding grants to individual artists in the fields of Visual
Arts and Film/Video. Also listed under Arts and Music.
