Embark Grant – Spring 2012
Million Fishes Art Collective is once again offering the Embark Grant, this time to Bay Area performance artists. Intended to support artists in our communities by funding and providing resources for new work, the grant consists of 25 hours of rehearsal time, a $200 artist fee, and the opportunity to present the work developed.
The submission deadline is February 20th, 2012.
Million Fishes Arts Collective is a community arts organization and resource network. Established in 2003 and located in the Mission District, Million Fishes is an artists-in-residence program supporting a diversity of disciplines and backgrounds with shared resources, ideas and inspiration. Million Fishes is a gallery, event space, and dance studio that serves and provides access for the local art community. Most of all, it is a framework for members to intersect, collaborate, develop, and unleash their creativity, with each other and the communities with which they connect.
Why are we doing this? Because we value art and artistic community. We hope to provide the time and space to get an idea off the ground to take further–or to try something completely experimental.
The Spring 2012 Embark Grant is open to Bay Area artists with a performance component to their work such as movement-based performance, theater, or butoh. Cross-disciplinary and new-media projects are encouraged. Note that the rehearsal space does not have traditional dance flooring. Performances that are primarily musical will not be considered.
The 25 hours of performance rehearsal time and May 12th presentation of the performance will take place in the Million Fishes dance and yoga studio.
