Announcements
The Coulncil for the Arts'at MIT I announces the fir st grant dead- lines for the 1983-84 academic year: Friday, September 30. The Council invites applications for grants in the areas of architec- ture, dance, designl, environmen- tal art, literature, m-edia arts, mu- sic, photography, theatre, visual arts and special projects.' Wel- comed are projects which allow students to experiment with and learn about the arts, whether through direct creative involve- ment, participation ill workshops, seminars and festivals, or as spec- I tators at concerts, plays and exhi- bitions. Previous experience in the arts is not a requirement for funding. In addition to the over- all quality of the proposal, crite-. ria for review include. the pro- ject's potential for broad audi- ences aind student participation and its educational and artistic impact on the MIIT community. The Council has established the following priorities for this aca- demic year: student initiated pro- jects; projects enhancing the visi- bility of the 'arts at MIT; innova- tive links between art and tech- nology; collaborative efforts; and potential for matching support. Grant application forms and guidelines are available at the Council office, Room 2013-220, x3-4003. Applicants are highly encouraged to discuss their pro- posals and seek suggestions for matching support from staff member Alison Shafer. The two remaining grants deadlines for this academic year are: Friday, November 18, and Friday, Febru- ary 24.
