Funding for student exhibits

From Susan Morse:
Please share information about this opportunity with your students and advisees.

Funding is available to students on a competitive basis through The PoGo Family Foundation for student-curated exhibitions of 2-D or 3-D art. The grants are intended to cover the costs of materials to mount the exhibit, documentation and related marketing materials for a gallery and/or Internet-based exhibit. The exhibition requires faculty sponsorship and should be developed either in conjunction with an existing course, an approved independent study program or a Winter Term project.

The maximum amount available for each grant is $500. One or two grants will be awarded for projects undertaken during Winter Term, with additional grants awarded for projects undertaken during the spring semester.

Applications for Winter Term projects must be received by November 27, 2007, with awards announced on December 3, 2007. Applications for spring semester projects must be received by February 29, 2008, with awards announced on March 14, 2008.

Full guidelines and the required cover page and budget form are available on the Sponsored Programs Blackboard site, which may be accessed through the Offices & Departments listing of the campus directory online.

Questions about the program and possible grant applications should be addressed to Professor Johnny Coleman, Associate Professor of African American Studies and Art (johnny.coleman@oberlin.edu or x56908).
