New Urban Arts Openings

New Urban Arts has openings next year for paid fellowship for artists/educators. See below for details. If you know of anyone that may be interested, please spread the word to them about the upcoming RFP deadline May 1.

We appreciate your help in connecting us with people who will be a great addition to our studio community. We've been excited by the interest already generated, but could really use your help extending the word outside our network.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Fellows receive a financial stipend ($10,000/yr), studio space, and the opportunity to investigate and explore the intersection of creative practice and community practice within a nationally recognized interdisciplinary art studio. It is a year-long commitment approximately 15-20 hours per week, with a flexible schedule including many afternoons and evenings, from October 1, 2009 through June 1, 2010. There is opportunity for a second year renewal.
