The Bush Artist Program will host 11 information meetings for artists interested in applying for a Bush Artist fellowship or a Dakota Creative Connections grant. For 2010, artists may apply, depending on residency, to either or both initiatives in three categories: visual arts, media arts, and traditional and functional craft arts.
Meetings in Minnesota will be held in Minneapolis on Sept. 10 at Target Performance Hall; Sept. 21 in Mankato at Bethany Lutheran College; Grand Rapids on Sept. 22 at Myles Reife Performing Arts Center; and Sept. 29 in St. Paul at the McNally Smith College of Music. All meetings begin at 7 p.m.
Bush Artist Fellowships support artists at critical points in their development with resources that enable them to deepen and advance their work and foster their careers. Fellows may decide to take time for solitary work or reflection, engage in collaborative or community projects, or embark on travel or research. Up to 15 fellowships of $50,000 each will be awarded in 2009.
The online application process opens Aug. 17 at www.bushfoundation.org For more information, call (800) 605-7315.
