Artistic Assistance
The next Professional Development deadline is Monday, April 1, 2013.
The next Project Development deadline will be in Fall 2013.
Artistic Assistance enables individuals to enhance the artistic aspects of their work within their discipline. All artistic disciplines are eligible. These funds are designed to provide ROOTS voting members with a source of useful funding in two distinct ways:
- Professional Development
- Project Development
Examples of proposals that might be successfully funded include, but are not limited to:
- Engage a collaborative partner or consultant, including other artists, in enhancing artistic work that strengthens the artist within his or her artistic discipline
- Registration for a workshop that directly relates to and benefits a particular artistic work or will enhance the artist's craft
- Technology assistance or equipment that is specific and crucial to your career advancement (e.g., web site design, sound mixing, video editing, video editing software, etc.)
- Artistic Assistance funds may not be used to pay yourself, or for organizational, managerial or audience development. All funds must advance your professional development in your respective discipline.
- Funds may not be used for travel to an Alternate ROOTS event (e.g., the ROOTS Annual Meeting or regional event.)
