Fall 2014 Fellowship for Utopian Practice

We are excited to announce the open call for the Fall 2014 Fellowship! Artists and other creative professionals are encouraged to apply with ideas for projects that expand their practice beyond its traditional boundaries. This is a process-based Fellowship, and Culture Push will help Fellows develop big ideas that have real world applications. We are looking for highly interactive projects that engage the public and push the boundaries of how art can exist in the world. The Fellows will have a year-long tenure that begins in the Fall of 2014, and will receive logistical, institutional and financial support.

This is the third year of the Fellowship for Utopian Practice. The Fellowship was started in 2012 and provides an opportunity for artists and other professionals to experiment with new forms of civic engagement and social practice. In these past two years we have supported  thirteen socially engaged projects that explore diverse subjects, including queer empowerment through creative movement; critical feminist readings of The New York Times; redesigning the kitchen garden; the practical choreography of political street protest; theater as a mode philosophical inquiry; reimagining the waterways of NYC; crowdsourcing neighborhood information through public input of sense and experience; and re-envisioning abandoned space in the Bronx.

Please review the updatedhttp://culturepush.org/?q=node/25318"> guidelines on our website for instructions on how to apply.

Submissions are due September 29 by 11:59PM.
