2012 APPLICATION GUIDELINES: EMERGING ARTIST FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM DEADLINE: MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 2012 Emerging Artist Fellowship September 2012 to March 2013 Emerging Artist Fellowship recipients are granted financial support in the amount of $5,000, a residency in the outdoor studio (beginning in May 2012), and access to facilities, materials, equipment, and technical assistance to create a work for the annual Emerging Artist Fellowship Exhibition. Fellows are also given the administrative assistance to do additional fundraising for their project, procure in-kind support, and pursue future placement for their work. Fellowship artists are selected through an open application process. Proposals are reviewed by an advisory committee composed of past EAF recipients, prominent curators, artists, writers, gallerists, and arts administrators. Following the first round of selections, Socrates staff members will meet with the artists individually to discuss project proposals in greater detail and assist artists with the development, engineering, and fabrication of the project. Once selected, Socrates staff members will hold two mandatory progress meetings with each Emerging Artist Fellow during the residency to assess progress, trouble shoot, and review next steps. Eligibility: Fellowships are awarded to artists who are not yet well established, are New York State residents, and are in need of financial assistance. Artists who will be enrolled in a school, college, or university at the time of the residency are not eligible for the Emerging Artist Fellowship program. APPLICATION PROCEDURE Artists seeking a Socrates Sculpture Park grant and exhibition opportunity are strongly encouraged to visit the Park before submitting their application. Applicants must take into account the site's rugged, urban outdoor environment and be aware that installations in the Park are subject to final approval by Socrates staff and must meet safety requirements to be able to withstand the effects of weather and public use. Visiting the site will give applicants a clearer idea of the factors that effect installations at the Park and an overview of the facilities that the Park has to offer, including the tools and equipment available in the studio and the materials and resources available in Long Island City.
