THE FRANKLIN FURNACE FUND
FOR PERFORMANCE ART
FOR PERFORMANCE ART
Supported by Jerome Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts, Franklin Furnace awards grants between $2,000 and $5,000 to performance artists, allowing them to produce major works anywhere in the State of New York. Artists from all areas of the world are invited to apply.
THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENT 2007 Franklin Furnace offers artists an honorarium (this year of $5,000) and a residency facilitated by Franklin Furnace, for a 2-4 month duration at a physical or online venue appropriate to your proposed work. For THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENT 2007, we plan to continue to expand the technology available to our artists through collaboration with Parsons School of Design, Digital Design Department and beyond. Artists from all areas of the world are invited to apply.
See below for details on HOW TO APPLY.
Franklin Furnace has no curator; each year a new panel of artists reviews all proposals. We believe that this peer panel system allows all kinds of artists from all over the world an equal shot at presenting their work. All applicants are automatically considered for both categories of awards. Every year the panel changes, as the definition of "emerging artist," the notion of "live art on the Internet," and the definition of "performance art" itself changes, so if at first you don't succeed, try again.
Deadline: April 1, 2008
