| Radcliffe Institute Fellowships | Updated November 15th, 2008 |
|
The deadline for individual applications in the creative arts, humanities, and social sciences is October 1, 2008. Former fellows of the Radcliffe Institute Fellowship Program (1999 to present) are not eligible to apply. Each application is reviewed in a dual-tiered process by peers in relevant disciplines. Applications are judged on the quality and significance of the proposed project and the applicant's record of achievement and promise. Applicants are notified of the results of the selection process in early March. Terms and Conditions Stipends are funded up to $70,000 for one year with additional funds for project expenses. Some support for relocation expenses is provided where relevant. If so directed, Radcliffe will pay the stipend to the fellow's home institution. Fellows receive office or studio space and access to libraries and other resources of Harvard University during the fellowship year, which extends from early September 2009 through June 30, 2010. Fellows are expected to be free of their regular commitments so they may devote themselves full time to the work outlined in their proposal. Since this is a residential fellowship, we expect fellows to reside in the Boston area during that period and to have their primary office at the Institute so that they can participate fully in the life of the community. To be considered for a fellowship in fiction or creative nonfiction, applicants must have a contract for publication of a book-length manuscript or at least three shorter works published. Writers who are graduate students at the time of application are not eligible. Submit up to 10 poems, one or two short stories, a recent book chapter, or an essay totaling no more than 30 pages; three letters of reference (sent directly to the institute by the references); a curriculum vitae; and a project proposal by October 1. Must register ONLINE. send: see details specifically: Literary |

| Maine Arts Commission Good Idea Grant | Updated October 17th, 2008 |
|
The Good Idea Grant program is designed to foster the growth of Maine’s artists by supporting the creation of new work or professional development. Any "good idea" that furthers an individual artist's creative growth is eligible for the grant. The maximum award is $1,500. Projects are often funded partially. The artist must speak with Donna McNeil, director, about the project before submitting an application. Failure to do so will disqualify the application. See website for specifics. The types of projects that might be funded under a Good Idea Grant include but are not limited to: - Support for the creation of new work. - Support to take instruction to deepen artistic skills. - Support to broaden aesthetic investigation into another medium. Eligibility lies with artists who: - has a valid Maine address as a full or part-time resident of the state - is 18 years of age or older at the time of application - is not enrolled as a full-time student in a field related to the application - has resided in Maine for a minimum of one year at the time of the application - has completed and filed all final reports required for previous Maine Arts Commission grants Applicants who have been encouraged to proceed must submit: - One Maine Arts Commission Application Form for Artists. - Resume(s) for the applicant and any other artists to be employed by the project. - Clear, specific answers to each of the following project description questions, addressed sequentially and numbered. Answers should not exceed two pages. - Describe your good idea. - Show evidence that the receipt of funds from the Good Idea Grant will advance your aesthetic growth through professional development or the creation of new work. Note: The project description is the central element of the grant request. The more information the reviewers have about the project and its relation to the artist's growth, the better they can judge its merits. The Good Idea Grant does not fund requests for website design or the purchase of equipment unless the applicant can demonstrate that those tools are integral to the creation of work. One complete set of properly labeled Artistic Materials. A list describing these samples, including titles, dimensions, length of performance, title of poems, etc., must accompany the application. (Applicants in literature must send four complete copies of the manuscript. If a synopsis is included please also include four copies as well.) The application package must include four manuscript copies with up to five poems (not to exceed 20 pages total), or works of prose (15-20 pages). Script and Playwriting applicants should include one act or scene only up to 20 pages. Selections from a longer script or work of prose must be accompanied by a synopsis of the complete work. Four copies of the synopsis are required as well. The manuscript must not include evidence of publication. Copied, published material that is not in original manuscript format will not be accepted.
