Oaklandish is offering two different arts funding grants. Due November 21, 2008:
OAKLAND INNOVATORS AWARD…
Oakland has historically been a hotbed of renegade activity, where boundaries are redefined and trends are created rather than followed.
To help encourage the continuation of this “trailblazers’ legacy,”
Oaklandish has created the Oakland Innovators Award, a fund that offers annual grants to organizations and individuals who are doing pioneering work in our community. This award is meant to offer recognition and financial support to local programs that exemplify the values of innovation and progress in all areas of civic life, including arts, education, technology, and business. Local innovators are invited to apply for a grant of up to $5,000.
ARTS-IN-ACTION GRANT
Oaklandish began as a covert public art campaign designed to bring a sense of history and culture to the underutilized public spaces of this city. Eight years later we continue that legacy by encouraging other local artists to create their own Oakland-centric works in the public realm. With the Arts-in-Action Grant, Oaklandish aims to provoke public discourse and inspire creative activity throughout our urban landscape. Local artists are invited to apply for a grant of up to $5,000.
