POLLOCK-KRASNER FOUNDATION GRANTS FOR VISUAL ARTISTS
International Deadline: Ongoing – The Pollock-Krasner Foundation‘s dual criteria for grants are recognizable artistic merit and demonstrable financial need, whether professional, personal or both. The Foundation‘s mission is to aid, internationally, those individuals who have worked as professional artists over a significant period of time. Application Guidelines: The Foundation welcomes, throughout the year, applications from visual artists who are painters, sculptors and artists who work on paper, including printmakers. There are no deadlines. The Foundation encourages applications from artists who have genuine financial needs that are not necessarily catastrophic. Grants are intended for a one-year period of time. The Foundation will consider need on the part of an applicant for all legitimate expenditures relating to his or her professional work and personal living, including medical expenses. The size and length of the grant is determined by the individual circumstances of the artist. Grant Restrictions: The Foundation does not accept applications from commercial artists, photographers, video artists, performance artists, filmmakers, crafts-makers or any artist whose work primarily falls into these categories. The Foundation does not make grants to students or fund academic study. READ MORE >>

For your friday morning coffee break here’s some cool design work out of Poland.
Selection of ceramic works by 10 young designers from Warsaw’s Fine Arts Academy Design Department. The projects were realised in the ceramic workshop lead by Justyna Bąbel-Piktel. The collection – consisting of objects produced in short series – is a result of explorations in the field of searching for new forms, functions and applications for ceramics. The objects are everyday household products – smart, surprising and beautiful. And most of all, ready for use.
