Artistic Blind Dates
Up to 9 artists from any discipline will be selected and teamed up in three groups of three for “artistic blind dates”. Five months later, they reveal what they’ve created and engage the audience in a dialogue about their artistic process. Artists will receive grants up to $250 per person. Please see below for eligibility requirements.
Submit an application to participate in the Artistic Blind Dates here.
All submissions must be submitted online by 5 p.m., EST, October 4, 2011.
