As part of Arts Inspire, PCA seeks proposals from local artists (in any genre) interested in leading a hands-on arts workshop with under-served youth. Selected artists will be paired with groups of K-12 students for short-term arts workshops. The artwork created during the workshops will be featured in CitySpace Gallery exhibitions.
Artists should submit proposals within his or her artistic genre, in response to the creative prompt, “Telling Charlottesville’s Stories.” Collaborative, multi-artist projects will also be considered. No more than 3 proposals may be submitted by one artist.
A panel will select four proposals based on feasibility, past experience with youth, artistic excellence, quality of response to the creative prompt, and other criteria as defined by PCA staff. Selected artists will be notified by February 24.
Each selected artist or multi-artist project will receive one $500 stipend. Artists must cover the cost of their materials, but basic supplies may be available through PCA and partner groups. Workshops will be scheduled to take place in March, April, June, or July.
For more details, see Submission Guidelines or email Sarah Lawson. All submissions must be received by February 6.
This project is funded by the Bama Works Fund of Dave Matthews Band in the CACF, and will be promoted as part of Charlottesville’s year-long Celebrate250! campaign.
