Finishing Funds 2011

The Experimental Television Center is pleased to announce Finishing Funds 2011.

Guidelines and applications are available on the web at http://www.experimentaltvcenter.org/

Finishing Funds provides media and new media artists with grants up to $2,500 to help with the completion of diverse and innovative moving-image and sonic art projects, and works for the Web and new technologies. Eligible forms include film and video as single or multiple channel presentation, computer‑based moving-imagery and sound works, installations and performances, interactive works and works for new technologies, DVD, multimedia and the Web. We also support new media, and interactive performance. Work must be surprising, creative and approach the various media as art forms; all genres are eligible, including experimental, narrative and documentary art works. Individual artists can apply directly to the program and do not need a sponsoring organization. Applicants must be residents of New York State; undergraduate students are not eligible.  The application requires a project description, resume and support materials, including a sample of the proposed project. Selection is made by a peer review panel. About $25,000 is awarded each year. Announcement is made in early June.

The program is supported in part by public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a public agency.

Postmark Deadline: March 15, 2011

Guidelines and applications are now available on the web at http://www.experimentaltvcenter.org/ in the ETC News Section and the Grants area or by mail or email etc (at) experimentaltvcenter.org
