From Franklin Furnace
2015 is the 30th anniversary of the Franklin Furnace Fund! The Franklin
Furnace Fund awards grants annually to emerging artists to enable them to
produce major performance art works in New York. Grants range between $2,000
and $10,000 based on the peer review panel allocation of funding received by
Franklin Furnace.
Franklin Furnace has no curator; each year a new panel of artists reviews
all proposals. We believe this peer panel system allows all kinds of artists
from all over the world an equal shot at presenting their work. Every year
the panel changes; additionally, each year we discuss anew what performance
art is, how emerging is defined, and these days the notion of liveness, as
during the last decade, artists created works on every point of the spectrum
between the body of the artist and the circulatory network of the Internet,
so now technology is viewed as a given.
Artists from all areas of the world are encouraged to apply; however,
artists selected by the panel are expected to present their work in New
York. Full-time students are ineligible.
The Franklin Furnace Fund 2015-2016 is supported by Jerome Foundation, the
NYC Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and
by general operating support from the New York State Council on the Arts.
Artists supported by funding from Jerome Foundation must live in the five
boroughs of New York City.
