grant for native american artists
National Museum of the American Indian Accepting Applications Visual and Expressive Arts Grants
Deadline: January 15, 2008
The National Museum of the American Indian ( http://nmai.si.edu/ ) Visual and Expressive Arts Grants program offers support to a wide range of arts activities with the goal of increasing the knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of contemporary Native American arts. NMAI considers the recognition of living artists of the Western Hemisphere to be of primary importance and will direct support to projects that strengthen the scholarship in this underserved field and create opportunities for new and innovative work.
Applications are accepted in two program areas:
1) The Visual Arts Program provides funding in two areas: Ex- hibitions and Installations -- funding of exhibitions and/or installations (including installation art) of contemporary Native American art in the United States at not-for-profit venues; and Publications and Critical Writing -- funding of publications on contemporary Native art, including, but not limited to, exhibition catalogs, special editions of journals, etc. At least 50 percent of the proposed project artists/au- thors/curators must be Native American.
The amount of each award will be $7,500 to $15,000 per project. Grants will be awarded to nonprofit or education-based organizations such as community art centers, artist-run galleries, museums, arts organizations, and college or university galleries or museums.
2) The Expressive Arts Program provides funding to promote the creation and presentation of new works (or existing but never- before-performed works) by Native artists, with particular empha- sis on collaboration. Applications from two or more artists who wish to collaborate are strongly encouraged. Artists may create presentations that include (but are not limited to) music, dance, spoken word, electronic media, film/video, costume design, mask making, set design, performance art, photography, painting, and other forms of expressive culture.
Grants of up to $10,000 each will be awarded to selected artists. This call is open to all indigenous peoples who hold American citizenship. Tribal affili- ations are not required for non-Native collaborators, although the primary applying artist must be Native.
Complete program information is available at the NMAI Web site. RFP Link: http://fconline.foundationcenter.org/pnd/10009978/nmai

story fund grant in ca
California Council for the Humanities Announces Guidelines for Story Fund
Deadline: February 4, 2008
The California Story Fund is an ongoing grant program of the California Council for the Humanities ( http://www.calhum.org/ ). The council will award competitive grants to public humanities programs that bring to light compelling stories from California's diverse communities and provide opportunities for collective reflection and public discussion.
The Story Fund is intended to encourage Californians from many communities to share their stories, thus promoting greater understanding and appreciation of the richness and complexity of the state. The council is especially interested in projects that will engage California youth in interpreting and reflecting on their experience through humanities-based programming. Organizations serving youth are strongly encouraged to apply.
Projects should use grant funds to identify or collect stories from community members, present and communicate the stories to the general public, and foster public discussion of the meaning and significance of the stories. One or more of the following formats may be used to present and communicate these stories: photography and interpretive exhibit; radio documentary; digital media; dramatic presentation; inter- pretive artwork; poetry readings; storytelling events; film festivals; and community conferences. Other formats may also be eligible.
Projects must host a face-to-face community discussion component that engages people in discussion of the stories and their relevance to the community, and must involve at least one humanities expert (in addition to the project director) in the design and implementation of the project.
Program guidelines and descriptions of previously funded CSF projects are available at the CCH Web site. The online application will be available on the Web site beginning January 2, 2008. RFP Link: http://fconline.foundationcenter.org/pnd/10009977/calhum

Grant: Investing in Artists
The Center for Cultural Innovation (CCI) is pleased to announce that the Guidelines and Application Forms for Round II of the Investing in Artists grants program are now available for download at www.cciarts.org/funding
Applications for Round II must be received in CCI's San Francisco office on January 11, 2008.
The Investing in Artists grant program is designed to enhance the working lives and creative environment for California artists by funding tools and market strategies that will allow them to create their best work more consistently, and distribute that work more broadly to new audiences. To support those aims, Investing in Artists provides grants in two categories: 1) Artistic Equipment & Tools; and 2) Presenting & Marketing Work.
Response to Round I of the Investing in Artists grants program was extremely encouraging, but we know that there are still many artists in California that we have yet to reach. Please help us in spreading the word about this unique funding opportunity by forwarding this email to artists in your networks.
If you have any questions about the Center for Cultural Innovation or the Investing in Artists program, please contact Emily Sevier, Programs Manager, at (800) 418-1671 (toll-free number) or by email at grants@cciarts.org

Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Accepting Applications For Manhattan Community Arts Fund Grants
Deadline: January 22, 2008
The Manhattan Community Arts Fund, an initiative of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council ( http://lmcc.net/grants/boroughwide/manncommartfund/index.html ), supports local arts organizations and artists that have little access to other government funding sources by providing small grants to local artists and arts projects serving the Manhattan community. Funds are intended to enable grant recipients to eventually leverage financial support from other sectors and to prepare applicants for the process of obtaining public funds. Through the fund, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council will award a total of approximately $125,000 this cycle, with grants ranging from $500 to $2,000 each to individual artists or nonprofit organizations.
Last year, 69 grants were awarded. Applications will be accepted from Manhattan-based individual artists or nonprofit organizations. Nonprofits such as arts organizations, social service agencies, senior centers, faith- based organizations, folk societies, and cultural centers are eligible. However, they must have proof of nonprofit status and their projects must be implemented in Manhattan. Similarly, individual artists must live in Manhattan.
Applications may be submitted for ongoing or new projects in any discipline for which activities will take place between April 1, 2008, and December 31, 2008. Proposals may only be submitted by applicants who have not applied by the September 18, 2007, appli- cation deadline. In addition, first-time applicants are required to attend program information sessions.
Visit the LMCC Web site for complete program details, eligibility restrictions, and dates and locations of information sessions.

NAMM Foundation Announces New Grant Initiatives for Music Makers and Researchers
Deadline: Various
The NAMM Foundation ( http://www.nammfoundation.org/ ), a non- profit organization dedicated to advancing active participation in music making by people of all ages, has announced its 2008 Request for Proposals initiative.
The foundation is accepting proposals for the following five initiatives:
Disney's High School Musical: The Music in You Grant Program will award ten public middle and high schools a grant of $5,000 each and license to put on their own school stage production of Disney's "High School Musical." (Deadline: November 30, 2007.)
The Sounds of Living: The Impact of Music Making initiative will support research that examines the role of active participation in music for children, youth, adults, and seniors. Research funded under the initiative explores the effects of music learning and music making outside of formal educational settings and ex- pands the understanding of the role of music making in health, wellness, socialization, and the inter-connections between mind, body, and spirit that contribute to wellness and overall quality of life. (Deadline: January 2, 2008.)
Program Grants support innovative music learning programs from nonprofit public service organizations that reach new audiences with new protocols, and that further the NAMM Foundation's mission of creating more active music makers of all ages. (Deadline: January 4, 2008.)
The Sounds of Learning: The Impact of Music Education initiative supports research that examines the role of music education in the lives of school-age children. (Deadline: January 15, 2008.)
Scientific Grants support leading researchers and research teams in the fields of music research, neuroscience, psychology, edu- cation, and/or health-related fields to explore the effects of hands-on music making. (Deadline: January 15, 2008.)
Applicants may only apply to one program. For detailed information about the programs, eligibility restrictions, and application procedures, visit the NAMM Foundation Web site. RFP Link: http://fconline.foundationcenter.org/pnd/10009821/nammfoundation

cause & effect - plot exercise
I admit it, I'm swamped and as a result, I totally stink about keeping the Creativity exercises coming. I hope everyone can forgive me. The book is due mid-December and I promise, after that, I'll be a good little blogger.
Today, though, I do have a writing exercise for you. One to help with plot.
DAILY CREATIVITY EXERCISE:
Tear a sheet of paper into 12 even slips. On four of those slips, write the name of your character and an action they are taking such as:
Elizabeth tore up the envelope.
Elizabeth dumped her purse onto the bed.
Elizabeth answered the phone.
Elizabeth shot her sister.
They can be small actions. They can be grand actions. You can do four slips for the same character or you can mix it up and choose four different characters from the same piece.
THESE ARE YOUR "CAUSE" SLIPS. Set them aside.
Now, create your "EFFECT" slips. Take your remaining 8 slips of paper and write on them general things that happened. Don't include a character name. This is a general statement of something that happened such as:
Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, flooding her childhood home.
The Bible was lost in the move.
The dinner was a disaster.
Her neighbor knocked on the door asking for milk.
Everything fell apart.
The toilet overflowed.
They reunited.
The camera stopped taking pictures.
Very, very general statements such as these. You can even flip through random books to pull sentences so you're not thinking too much.
Put your Cause slips in a bowl and your Effect slips in a bowl. Pick one from each.
Write for ten minutes and explain how your Characters Action in the Cause slip resulted in What Happened from your Effect slip.
Do this four times. Give yourself 10 minutes for each Cause/Effect. See what you learn.
