CREATIVE CAPITAL GRANTS IN VISUAL ARTS AND FILM/VIDEO AVAILABLE IN
FEBRUARY 2007


Six new program consultants to lead selection process


Artists nationwide will have a chance to promote their works-in-progress
and works-to-be when the nonprofit arts organization Creative Capital
accepts proposals for its 2007 grant cycle supporting projects in the
visual arts and film/video. To apply, artists must first submit an inquiry
form, which will be available February 5 on the foundation’s website,
http://www.creative-capital.org . The deadline for completed forms is
March 5; those invited to submit an application with work samples will be
notified in June.

For the first time, Creative Capital has appointed two outside teams of
arts professionals to assist in the selection process leading to as many
as 40 grants. Each team will consist of three program consultants, with
one designated as lead consultant, working together to review proposals at
each stage of the application process. The consultants for visual arts
are: Romi Crawford, lead program consultant and director of the Visiting
Artists Program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago; Lauri
Firstenberg, director of LAX Art in Los Angeles; and Gilbert Vicario,
assistant curator of Latin American Art at the Museum of Fine Arts in
Houston, Texas. For film/video, the consultants are: Andrea Grover, lead
program consultant and director of Aurora Picture Show in Houston; Kelly
DeVine, former acquisitions executive for the Independent Film Channel
(IFC), currently artistic director for the Global Peace Film Festival and
independent programmer based in Port Jefferson, New Yo
rk; and Shari Frilot, programmer for the Sundance Film Festival. Ms.
Frilot resides in Los Angeles.

Since awarding its first grants in 2000, the organization has earned a
reputation for identifying and supporting innovative artists and projects
across the country—work that has gone on to earn many of the field’s
highest honors, including Tony and Academy Award nominations and Rome
Prizes. It is anticipated that the consultant teams, bringing many years
of experience and expertise in the industry, will make significant
contributions to the process. “We welcome the opportunity to work with the
program consultants,” said Creative Capital executive director Ruby
Lerner. “Their vast knowledge and passion for artists will be invaluable
assets as we move through the upcoming grant round.”

In keeping with the organization’s multi-level commitment to its grantees,
at least $1 million is allocated for the selected projects in the first
year. Additionally, over the term of the grant, these projects receive
follow-up support and can garner as much as $80,000 each in direct monies
and services. Moreover, the grantees gain access to an extensive network
of peers and arts professionals who can assist in fundraising,
promotional, and presenting opportunities. This comprehensive approach to
funding has become the hallmark of Creative Capital’s work with artists.
