$250,000 dance grant
The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage Dance Advance program will provide funding for projects that demonstrate artistic excellence, imagination, and courage. Similar to other discipline-based initiatives supported by the Pew Charitable Trusts, the primary goal of Dance Advance is to enhance the cultural life of the greater Philadelphia community (Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties).
In the 2011 funding cycle projects may address two categories of support — planning (planning, process, research, scholarship) or production (production, presentation, performance). Individuals, companies, or presenting organizations may apply in either category, but an applicant may submit only one proposal. Dance Advance will only fund applications that mark a development for the applicant in artistic or curatorial practice.
Individual choreographers and dance artists may request up to $50,000 each. Organizations with budgets under $800,000 may request up to $150,000 each. Organizations with budgets over $800,000 may request up to $250,000 each.(Any organization planning to apply for a grant larger than $100,000 must meet with the Dance Advance director to secure approval to proceed.)
Projects may take up to two years to complete. Beginning in the 2011 funding cycle, applicants will need to plan out a project's scope of work — both the larger ideas motivating the project as well as its potential means of implementation — prior to submitting a Letter of Intent.
Dance Advance scheduled two workshops (one occurred on July 12; the other will take place July 19) to discuss the guidelines and changes to the 2011 program. Attendance is required at one of these workshops for anyone intending to apply for the 2011 funding cycle. Potential applicants who were not able to attend either of these dates should contact Dance Advance to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. The LOI form will be posted on the Web site by or before August 1, 2010.

CEI Pilot Program Call for Applications
DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS ANNOUNCES SECOND APPLICATION PROCESS FOR NEW CULTURAL EXCHANGE INTERNATIONAL PILOT PROGRAM
Los Angeles - The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) launched the second round of its Cultural Exchange International (CEI) Pilot Program and released the second set of guidelines for new applicants. CEI is a two-year fellowship program intended to enhance Los Angeles as a national and international center for the arts and foster cultural understandings through the expansion of networks and the exchange of knowledge between creative professionals.
CEI provides fellowship support to creative professionals (artists, arts administrators, arts/cultural educators and scholars, curators, presenters, creative entrepreneurs, cultural innovators, and cultural experts) traveling abroad for intensive residencies
(two weeks to three months), or creative professionals coming to Los Angeles for intensive residencies (also two weeks to three months), who have planned collaborative relationships with Los Angeles organizations to host their residencies. The program has been designed to support individual professionals or small groups (with a limit of three to four people per group).
In the first round of fellowship awards, 7 creative professionals, often leading teams of artists; 1 Los Angeles for-profit company; and 4 Los Angeles non-profit organizations were recommended for support with $88,000 for fellowship projects in Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Poland, and Rwanda. All of these projects will also culminate in free public presentations in Los Angeles. An additional $12,950 is being awarded to three of these projects, which take place in Latin America, by the National Performance Network (NPN) for a total of $100,950 in funding support.
The two-year pilot program was made possible with seed funding from the City of
Los Angeles and the Durfee Foundation. The Durfee Foundation’s funding supports
Los Angeles artists traveling abroad. Funding from the National Performance Network focuses on exchanges between Los Angeles and Latin America and the Caribbean.
To date, several respected sponsor-partners have enlarged the pool of funds committed over the two-year pilot project to more than $550,000. For CEI’s second round of fellowships, partnerships have been extended to include the Foundation for International Cultural Activities (SICA) in the Netherlands, the Sacatar Foundation in Brazil, and the Trust for Mutual Understanding, which supports exchange between the United States and Russia, as well as Central and Eastern Europe.
