[FAC] Comm: Source of funds for artists

[Cynthia Cooper]

Greetings,

For those of you who are artists that have a focus on the tradition arts,
there is a great monthly newsletter published by ACTA, Alliance for
California Traditional Arts.

The April issues highlights their Living Cultures Grant Program which will
be accepting applications late this summer.

Types of Eligible Projects, Examples of eligible projects may include, but
are not limited to the following:
* Public presentations, such as community-based concerts, festivals, and
exhibitions 
* Workshops and gatherings (for example, events that bring together artists,
cultural specialists or community leaders to share skills and information,
or to engage in discussion and problem solving)
* Equipment and materials purchases (instruments, media equipment, costumes
or regalia, etc.) 
* Conservation, creation, or acquisition of important traditional arts items
* Intergenerational classes or other educational programs within a community
(after school youth programs, dance ensemble classes or practices, summer
programs, etc.) 
* Documentation of traditional arts, skills, ceremonies, beliefs, or
performances 
* Media, web, and print publications (all media and publication projects
must include specific plans for marketing and public distribution, and
priority will be given to those projects with the greatest potential for
widespread public distribution)
* Professional and leadership development (training or consulting activities
that enhance or improve the capacities of an organization to better serve
artists, communities, and the public)
* And other activities supporting California traditional arts and artists

 I know there are cool things some of you or people you know that would be
interested in doing some projects like these, or any number of other great
opportunities that Amy Kitchener, the Director for ACTA lists in her email.
