Seattle, WA + 2013 Conductive Garboil Grant

Seattle artist Su Job envisioned and endowed this annual non-restricted grant of $3,000 for artists who have demonstrated a profound ability to challenge the limits of creative discourse and its effects on our society, pushing the artistic act beyond accepted limits, definitions, or purposes while engaging audiences outside the aesthetic industrial complex.

Artists or artist teams working in any media or discipline can apply. Su was interested in recognizing persons who are committed to an artistic practice that connects with community and society. For example, that could mean the artist/team is producing cutting-edge political performance and has taken that art experience into the streets and out of the gallery setting. It could also mean that the artist/team exhibits their work commercially, but always opens their studio to young people to share the joy of the creative process.

AWARD AMOUNT: $3,000 Non-Restricted

Terre Haute, IN + Outdoor Sculpture

The sculpture will be located in Terre Haute's Fairbanks Park in proximity to the Dresser House. Terre Haute is the birthplace of Paul Dresser (1858-1906). At the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, he was one of our nation’s most well-known songwriters. Artists are encouraged to consider the composer, his origins in the Midwest, and particularly the character and importance to this region of “On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away.” These qualities may be interpreted in a broad way. The resulting work will provide an entrée for the viewer to learn more about Paul Dresser and his best-known song. In some way the sculpture may also pay tribute more generally to the art of songwriting. Since the sculpture will be located along the Wabash River, with a good view of the river from its site, it is important that this waterway, and Dresser’s attention to it, also be considered in the concept. Figurative bronze sculptures are neither required nor eliminated from consideration.
Note regarding electronics: Many members of the community have asked that we include an electronic component that will make it possible for people to listen to “On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away.” If you are selected as a finalist and would like to include such a feature in your concept, it will be given strong consideration.

Deadline: July 17, 2013
Eligibility: Open to all US professional artists 18 and up
Budget: $50,000
