Grants for Emerging Artitsts' Avante-Garde Art Projects

From The Foundation Center...

Franklin Furnace Announces Open Call for Artists Deadline: April 1, 2008 The mission of the Franklin Furnace Archive ( http://franklinfurnace.org/ ) is to present, preserve, interpret, proselytize, and advocate on behalf of avant-garde art, especially forms that may be vulnerable due to institutional neglect, their ephemeral nature, or politically unpopular content.

As part of that mission, Franklin Furnace annually awards project-based grants to emerging artists, allowing them to produce major works in New York. Works may engage the Internet as an art medium and/or venue. Artists from all areas of the world are encouraged to apply. Full-time students are ineligible. Grants will range between $2,000 and $5,000 each.
