Harriet Hale Woolley Scholarship
http://www.feusa.org
A private grant awarded annually to four graduate and post-graduate American students in the visual fine arts (painting, graphic design, print-making, sculpture, photography) and music (composition, instrumental or vocal performance). The scholarship is not intended for research in art history, or musicology, nor for dance or theatre. Successful candidates propose a unique and detailed project related to their study which requires a one-year residency in Paris. As this project should include enrolment in a recognized French art school or music conservatory, it is strongly suggested that the candidate establish a significant contact with a teacher or institution prior to arriving in France and to show evidence of this contact in his/her application dossier. Each of the Harriet Hale Woolley scholarships carries a stipend of 8,500 euros paid in five instalments throughout the academic year (October 1st – June 30th). Please note that the scholarship is designed to assist with the rent of an artist atelier or music studio at the Fondation des Etats-Unis, as well as for other living expenses. The Fondation is one of the student residencies of the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris. For more information about the Fondation and the Cité Internationale, please consult their websites: www.feusa.org and www.ciup.fr.
The Woolley scholars are expected to participate actively and regularly in the cultural program of the Fondation des Etats-Unis by giving and attending concerts, art exhibitions, and various social events.

(Andy) Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts
http://www.warholfoundation.org/
The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts has announced a new three-year program of grants to nonprofit art publications and individual art critics. Called the Andy Warhol Arts Writing Initiative, its self-described aim is to "promote critical discourse that is both rigorous and accessible, foster innovation in arts writing and nurture connections between art and the public." The foundation has committed $3 million to the program, half to be given to art publications and half to art critics. The assistance to the publications will be designed to increase audiences, stabilize business practices and explore new forms of publishing. The grants to individual writers--expected to run between $3,000 and $50,000--will cover everything from essays and book projects to text-based experiments in new media. The art publications grants will be administered by the Warhol Foundation, while the critic grants will be handled by the Creative Capital Foundation, a New York-based nonprofit devoted to supporting artists. Application information for both areas is available on the Warhol Foundation Web site.
