For now, here are a couple things for you that are coming up soon...and by the way, ALWAYS double check dates and info on websites. Sometimes I am wrong or the website itself is wrong and you must contact them directly.

(ARTISTS) Creative Glass Center of America at WheatonArts, Fellowship Opportunities for Glass Artists—The CGCA Fellowship Program is a professional program providing focused, self-directed artists with 3-month and 6-week fellowships. The CGCA program provides housing, the facilities, equipment and technical orientation within a respectful sanctuary of concentrated time. The CGCA Fellowship Program provides emerging and mid-career artists unrestricted access to the facilities and materials necessary for blown, sculpted, cast and kiln formed glass.

(ALL) ECF - Collaboration Grants —Collaboration Grants support independent cultural organizations working together across borders and disciplines.

Collaboration Grants fund transnational, cross-sectoral activities by independent cultural and artistic organisations working together or with organisations from other sectors. The main applicant needs to be a cultural organisation based in Europe (EU Europe and EU Neighbourhood region), while partner applicants can work in sectors outside the cultural field.

ECF regards the ideal ‘collaboration’ as one that brings a renewed understanding of Europe to people of all backgrounds, and inspires them to regard the world’s future as a shared enterprise. We particularly admire efforts that are daring, different and challenge the status quo. The average award funded is €15,000 with the maximum being €30,000.

For more information on how to apply, to access the ‘how to apply’ PDF booklet and the application form, on our website. Deadline: 01 September 2011 http://www.eurocult.org/grants/collaboration-grants
