An update from Creative Capital:

The Creative Capital Foundation is a national nonprofit organization that supports artists pursuing adventurous and imaginative work in the performing and visual arts, film/video, innovative literature, and in emerging fields. Creative Capital seeks to support projects that have the potential for significant artistic and cultural impact, that transcend discipline boundaries and tell us something new about ourselves, our communities, and the moment in which we live.

In 2007, Creative Capital will be considering proposals in the Visual Arts and Media (Film/Video). For more information, please visit http://www.creative-capital.org

Other Creative Capital Programs include:
(NEW) The Creative Capital/Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers’ Grant Program will recognize and support the contribution of individual arts writers through project-based grants ranging from $3,000-$50,000. The program aims to promote critical discourse that is both rigorous and accessible, to foster innovation in arts writing, and to encourage writing that nurtures connections between art and the public at large. For more information, please visit www.artswriters.org

The Creative Capital Professional Development Program was launched in 2003 to offer the career-building component of Creative Capital’s Artist Services Program to a broader community of artists. The Professional Development Program has served more than 1000 artists nationwide, and features a comprehensive menu of workshops that include a Weekend Retreat, as well as Day and Evening-long Workshops.

The Multi-Arts Production (MAP) Fund is a program of Creative Capital, supported by the Rockefeller Foundation. The MAP Fund supports new works in all disciplines and traditions of the live performing arts. Our aim is to assist artists who are exploring and challenging the dynamics of contemporary live performance. In contrast to the preservation of existing repertoire, MAP supports those creating the art of our own time. For more information, please visit www.mapfund.org

In 2002, Creative Capital funded Pamela Z’s Voci, which incorporates live singing, real-time digital processing, vocal samples, and projected video. In this presentation of the human voice as anatomy, character, identifier and communicator, Z weaves stories about the voice together with arias, non-verbal utterances, cries and whispers, and choruses of real and synthetically created voices, using her gesture-triggered Body Synth to trigger the sampled sounds.
