AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Subject: Artist Outreach Project accepting applications starting May 1st

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that The Kenneth A. Picerne Foundation will begin accepting Artist Outreach Project applications on May 1, 2013. The Foundation will award up to 20 artists $12,000 each to provide under-served groups educational, mentoring, and/or therapeutic arts experiences of their own design. These art experiences are intended to reach people of all ages who lack opportunities to engage in meaningful arts programs. Artists will choose a nonprofit to collaborate with and the population they are interested in serving. Artists awarded the grant are expected to contribute an average of six hours a week to the people they are serving over the course of one year. Visual, literary, and performing artists, 55 years old and older, who live in Orange County and North San Diego County are eligible to apply. The application deadline is July 31, 2013.

Please pass information on to your colleagues and eligible artists! Further details about the Artist Outreach Project can be found at picernefoundation.org. Contact Victor Nelson at 949-267-1517 or vnelson@picernefoundation.org for additional information, and check out what is happening with the Artist Outreach Project on the Kenneth A. Picerne Foundation Facebook page.

Sincerely,

Victor
