COLLEGE ART ASSOCIATION, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FELLOWSHIPS FOR ARTISTS AND ART HISTORIANSPROGRAM : College Art Association (CAA) initiated the Professional Development Fellowship Program in 1993 to help M.F.A., terminal M.A., and Ph.D. students bridge the gap between graduate study and professional careers. By offering our support at this critical juncture in scholars?and artists?careers, we hope to make timely degree completion more viable and employment opportunities more accessible. In turn, by nurturing outstanding scholars and artists at the beginning of their careers, we hope to strengthen and diversify the profession as a whole. Each fellow receives support over a period of two years. Year One: Degree Completion CAA grants $5,000 to each fellow for use during the final year of his/her MFA or Ph.D. program. CAA does not restrict the use of these funds, nor will CAA prohibit recipients from holding other scholarships, fellowships, or employment during the term of this grant. Year Two: Professional Placement CAA helps each fellow search for employment at a museum, art center, college, or university. Upon securing a position, CAA provides a $10,000 subsidy to the employer as part of the fellow's salary. Participating organizations must match this grant 2:1. In addition to administrative and/or teaching duties, all fellows' positions must include a curatorial or public service component. Salary or stipend, position description, and term of employment will vary and will be determined in consultation with individual fellows and their potential employees.

THE PAUL ROBESON FUND FOR INDEPENDENT MEDIAPROGRAM : The Paul Robeson Fund for Independent Media is the only ongoing source of funding committed exclusively to the support of social issues media. The Fund supports media activism and grassroots organizing by funding the pre-production and distribution of social issue film and video projects, and the production and distribution of radio projects made by individual media producers, as well as local, state, national, or international organizations. The primary purpose of the Fund is to support independent media productions that are politically and artistically compelling, but can also be used for progressive activism and organizing. The Fund considers the distribution of a film, video, or radio production as important as the project itself. Individual media producers must have fiscal sponsorship via a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization. The maximum grant award is $20,000; most grants range from $5,000 to $15,000. CONTACT :

INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAM (ISP), THE WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ARTPROGRAM : The Independent Study Program (ISP) consists of four interrelated parts: Studio Program, Curatorial Program, Critical Studies Program, and Architecture and Urban Studies Program. The ISP provides a setting within which students pursuing art practice, curatorial work, art historical and architectural scholarship, and critical writing engage in ongoing discussions and debates that examine the historical, social, and intellectual conditions of artistic production. The program encourages the theoretical and critical study of the practices, institutions, and discourses that constitute the field of culture. Each year twelve students are selected to participate in the Studio Program, four in the Curatorial Program, six in the Critical Studies Program, and five in the Architecture and Urban Studies Program. The ten students participating in the Curatorial and Critical Studies Programs each year are designated as Helena Rubinstein Fellows in recognition of the substantial support provided by the Helena Rubinstein Foundation. The program begins in early September and concludes at the end of the following May. Many of the participants are enrolled at universities and art schools and receive academic credit for their participation, while others have recently completed their formal studies.

THE FRANKLIN FURNACE FUND FOR PERFORMANCE ART/THE FUTURE OF THE PRESENTPROGRAM : THE FRANKLIN FURNACE FUND FOR PERFORMANCE ART 2004-05 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 2005 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 2004, 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. 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.

FORD FOUNDATIONPROGRAM : Most of the foundation뭩 grant funds are given to organizations. Although it also makes grants to individuals, they are few in number relative to demand and are limited to research, training and other activities related to its program interests. The foundation does not award undergraduate scholarships or make grants for purely personal needs. Support for graduate fellowships is generally provided through grants to universities and other organizations, which are responsible for the selection of recipients. Most foundation grants to individuals are awarded either through publicly announced competitions or on the basis of nominations from universities and other nonprofit institutions. In all cases, recipients are selected on the merits of their proposals and on their potential contribution to advancing the foundation뭩 program objectives. For more information see http://www.fordfound.org/about/guideline.cfm. The Foundation does give scholarships, but generally through other organizations. The Foundation sponsors three graduate diversity fellowship programs---predoctoral, dissertation, and postdoctoral---through the National Research Council. CONTACT :
