de Young Musuem New Generations, Student Showcase, call for San Francisco Bay Area students (University or Continuing Education): Matter

Categories:

de Young Musuem New Generations, Student Showcase, call for San Francisco Bay Area students (University or Continuing Education): Matter!

Public Programs at the de Young Museum invites San Francisco Bay Area students (University or Continuing Education) to submit proposals of visual art, film, music, or performance art, for “Friday Nights at the de Young” for display at the museum on Friday, April 20, 2012. Members of the de Young Museum’s New Generations Student and Faculty Advisory Committee will jury the proposals.

Theme: This year’s theme of the New Generations: Student Showcase is a call to action: Matter!

Think of it as a one-word manifesto: Matter!

Matter! Is the stuff of our lives, the goods that surround us, the fibers we wear, and the atoms of which our bodies are formed. Artists and designers have, in recent years, called for a return to Matter!, new investigations of material culture, a re-invigoration of distinctly handmade objects and insistent materiality. In an age characterized by post-studio art, others might argue that what matters most today is something immaterial, something social, an artistic form of anti-matter!

Matter! is a serious call for your creative contributions. Weigh in with your own submissions of work to be considered by our jury of art professionals.

Deadline March 1st, 2012

Sustainable Arts Foundation: 2012 Spring Awards for Artists and Writers with families

The Sustainable Arts Foundation is a non-profit foundation supporting individual artists and writers with families. Their mission is to provide financial awards to parents pursuing creative work. Specifically, the applicant must have at least one child under the age of 18 years of age. They welcome applicants from anywhere, but will give some preference to residents of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Too often, creative impulses are set aside to meet the wonderful, but pressing, demands of raising a family. The foundation’s goal is to encourage parents to continue pursuing their creative passion, and to rekindle it in those who may have let it slide.

Awards: Sustainable Arts Foundation Visual Arts Award: $6,000
Sustainable Arts Foundation Writing Award: $6,000

There will be multiple winners for each award.

Additionally, they will be awarding a number of smaller Promise Awards to those applicants whose work may not qualify for the main awards, but nonetheless demonstrates both skill and potential.

Disciplines: The foundation offers awards in two major categories: visual arts and writing. They encourage writers working in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry to apply. Visual artists practicing painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, film/video, and photography are encouraged to apply. At this time, they are not accepting applications in the performing arts or music.

They seek to reward excellence. Your portfolio will assist them greatly in evaluating your work which may, but need not, refer to your parenting. They are also interested in hearing what your plans are, and how this award might assist you in attaining your goals.

Deadline: March 1st, 2012

Art Job Opportunity, Evergreen State College, Olympia, Washington: Ceramics Faculty

Deadline: March 5th, 2012

The Evergreen State College seeks a versatile and broadly trained faculty colleague to teach Ceramics-based art forms and three-dimensional art in a variety of interdisciplinary programs at the undergraduate level. Candidates must be committed to teaching in a liberal arts context, and must have clear expertise and ability to teach Ceramics from technical, conceptual, and cultural perspectives, as an art form and as a creative and responsive means to address the material world, for both art and non-art students, in diverse teaching and learning situations.

Candidates must be able to teach ceramics concepts, skills and processes to support a range of ceramics-based forms of expression, including functional ceramics, ceramic sculpture, mixed media, and emerging art forms. Preference will be given to candidates who have significant experience with and the ability to teach an additional 3D art medium. Candidates must be prepared to teach drawing and three-dimensional design fundamentals, as well as visual literacy, art history, and broader cultural contexts relative to Ceramics. Further, candidates must be able to speak and write effectively about their own work and that of others, and must be prepared to actively support students to develop critical thinking, writing, and assessment skills. Finally, they must be prepared to offer critical support to students pursuing work in a range of 2D and 3D media.

Evergreen organizes its curriculum through coordinated interdisciplinary studies (rather than through departments and courses). Team-taught interdisciplinary “programs” occupy students full time, over multiple quarters. Faculty on teaching teams enjoy a high degree of freedom to determine the subject matter, emphases, pace, classroom strategies and modes of evaluation in these programs. In some years, faculty teach students working close to their own discipline at a variety of experience levels; in other years they join faculty from diverse disciplines to develop a theme-based curriculum. In keeping with this teaching and learning model, ideal candidates for this position will demonstrate engagement with one or more disciplines outside of the visual arts and in different social, cultural, or environmental arenas, through creative work, teaching, or research. We encourage those who have had experience with students from underrepresented populations to apply.

Minimum Qualifications:

M.F.A. degree;
Demonstrated experience teaching ceramic arts at the college level;
Experience teaching three-dimensional art forms and design;
The ability to work effectively with students on writing; and
Demonstrated potential for excellence in teaching in an interdisciplinary context.

In addition to teaching, faculty are expected to advise and mentor students and participate in Evergreen’s system of shared governance. Through their participation in shared governance, faculty play a significant role in most aspects of how the college is run.

Exhibition opportunities, Digital Arts Entertainment Laboratory (DAEL): The Window Project

The Window Project is a curated outdoor, new media installation space facing the southern end of Woodruff Park from the windows of the Digital Arts Entertainment Laboratory (DAEL) located in Atlanta, Georgia. The infrastructure consists of six high definition projectors synchronized to create a rear-projection screen that stands over six feet high and spans over 80 feet in width and can be seen from any vantage point in Atlanta’s central park and from the main pedestrian path of students of Georgia State University. The mission of The Window Project is to create a public art space that engages the community and enhances the Georgia State University campus and downtown Atlanta.

They invite the participation of local, national and international emerging and established moving image artists to submit current work reconfigured for six projectors around a curved surface or new work specifically created to take advantage of the multi-projector format. This space and format allows artists to break from the constraints of a single screen on a flat surface with a prescribed viewing point. They do not seek a specific theme for the content, but expect that it should be high visual, technical and conceptual quality and well suited for this unique public space, which is large, but subtle due to the curved glass and location on a downtown building window. (see their website link for an image of the location, click HERE)

How to Apply: Please email a brief artist statement, a link to artist website and up to 5 images or videos toElizabeth Strickler at eli@gsu.edu with “The Window Project” and your name in the subject line. If an emailed/internet submission is not possible, a CD or DVD can be sent in the mail.

The submission process is on-going. Each installation will be screened nightly from dusk until dawn for one month. They have current openings in 2012 for:

April, 2012: Submission Deadline is February 1st, 2012
May, 2012:    Submission Deadline is March 1st, 2012

Art Job: Photography/Visual Arts Faculty, Evergreen State College, Olympia, Washington

The Evergreen State College seeks a broadly trained, versatile faculty-colleague to teach photographic arts in a wide range of interdisciplinary courses at the undergraduate level. Candidates must demonstrate a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching, expertise in analog and digital photography, a broad understanding of histories of photography, visual studies and art theory and criticism. Candidates should be working artists with demonstrated scholarly and creative activity who believe in the inseparable connection of the creative arts and the liberal arts. Because all visual arts faculty at Evergreen primarily teach in interdisciplinary art programs, this position requires the abilities to write and speak about one’s work and the work of others and the ability to offer critical support to students pursuing work in a range of 2D and 3D media. Successful candidates will demonstrate commitment to supporting skills in a range of literacies, including close or critical reading skills and writing as thinking. Faculty must be capable of presenting intellectual and artistic strategies that meet the needs of students whose learning goals and artistic experience is diverse. Because Evergreen organizes its curriculum through interdisciplinary coordinated studies (rather than through departments and courses), the ideal candidate will encourage experimentation and foster the exchange of ideas across disciplines through creative work, teaching and research.

At Evergreen, faculty on teaching teams work closely with students and enjoy a high degree of freedom to determine the subject matter, pace, emphasis, classroom strategies and modes of evaluation. Candidates with experience teaching with faculty from disciplines outside the humanities are particularly encouraged to apply. We also encourage applicants who have had experience teaching and/or working with students from underrepresented populations.

In addition to teaching, faculty are expected to advise and mentor students and participate in Evergreen’s system of shared governance. Through their participation in shared governance, faculty play a significant role in most aspects of how the college is run.

Minimum Requirements:

M.F.A. degree;
Demonstrated experience teaching photographic arts at the college level;
Experience teaching visual analysis, photo and/or media literacy, photo and/or art history, theory;
The ability to work effectively with students on writing;
Demonstrated potential for excellence in teaching in an interdisciplinary context.

Deadline: February 29th, 2012
