Pittsburgh,
PA + Three Rivers Arts Festival Emerging Artist
Scholarship
The Emerging Artist Scholarship Program helps
Pittsburgh-region artists produce their first
booth in an outdoor show. The Three Rivers Arts
Festival's Emerging Artists program has become
the model for others like it in Artists Markets
throughout the nation and has launched the art
careers of dozens of Pittsburgh based artists.
The scholarship provides a tent and booth space
in the Artists Market at no charge. We also pair
scholarship recipients with mentors, established
artists working in the same medium who can answer
questions about exhibiting and offer advice on
maximizing sales, designing your booth and pricing
your art.
A limited number of scholarships are available
for this competitive program. Entry is open to
any artist who has never done an outdoor show
and lives within 100 miles of Pittsburgh.
You may apply for both the Emerging Artist program
and the general Artists Market. Emerging Artists

Washington,
DC + The National Endowment for the Arts
Chairman
Rocco Landesman announced that the National Endowment
for the Arts (NEA) has released a request for
proposals (RFP) for a new "Art Works"
logo. When used by the Chairman, the phrase "art
works" has three meanings: "artworks"
are the plays, paintings, dances, films and the
other works of art that are the creation of artists;
"art works" describes the effect of
art on audiences and viewers, art works to transport,
transform, inspire, and challenge us; and "art
works' is a reminder that arts workers are real
workers with real jobs who are part of this country's
real economy. The proposed logos should incorporate
all three of the meanings of "Art Works"
and tie them to the NEA in such a way that the
proposed logo might be used alone or in conjunction
with the NEA's current logo. Chairman Landesman
said, “Those two words – "art works"
– pretty much sum up everything we are about
at the NEA, and I hope you will see them everywhere.
Art, artists, and arts professionals work to change
the communities they inhabit: they are placemakers
and help create livable, sustainable, complete
communities. I look forward to having a logo that
conveys that.”

Interplay
As
part of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh 2010
Centennial Year celebration, AAP will honor its
connection with Pittsburgh Filmmakers/Pittsburgh
Center for the Arts and its affiliated guild artists
with an exhibition entitled Interplay. Interplay
is defined as mutual action, influence and interaction.
Interplay implies a reciprocal action and reaction
of opposing forces. Some examples are the interplay
between environment and genetics; painting and
sculpture; religion and politics; art and science.
The
challenge to artists is to consider all of the
ways in which people, things or ideas repeatedly
act on and react to each other and to explore
the tension that is created when two disparate
elements are brought together visually. The concept
of Interplay can also embrace the cooperative
and creative action and reaction between two or
more artists involved in collaboration.
