Interlace Grant Fund

APPLICATIONS DUE: MAY 3 While there are certainly artists who build careers without ever writing a grant, grants can be a useful way to gather helpful resources and feedback for a variety of creative endeavors. Even when a grant is not awarded, the processes of articulating ideas, refining a proposal, and mapping out a timeline and budget can be useful for the development of project management skills that all artists at some point or another will need to utilize. The Interlace Grant Writing Mentorship Program pairs an artist who has written successful grants in the past with an artist who is newer to grant writing. Mentors will help Emerging and Mid-Career Artists (“Mentees”) with the Interlace Project Grant application processes as well as provide general mentoring support. Please note: Only visual artists eligible to apply to the Interlace Fund are eligible for this program. Link in bio!

TIERRA FUTURA Boricua Land Futures opens on Thursday March 5, from 6-8pm at WaterFire Center for the Arts. Save the date! TIERRA FUTURA is both a solo exhibition by artist Shey Rivera Ríos and a group exhibition of 22 artists from the archipelago of Borikén (Puerto Rico) and its diasporas across the United States. This is the first time in the past decade that a contemporary art exhibition of all Puerto Rican artists is presented in New England. The artworks are vessels of land-based memory, rural identity, eco-feminisms, queer Boricua joy, cultural rituals, and tributes to significant ancestors. 🌿 Included in this post are a first round of artworks and artists featured in the exhibition. Click on the images to reveal the tags to the artists and follow them. We will also have the artworks and additional prints for sale at the WaterFire Arts Center during the month of March. Support Boricua artists by owning an artwork from this show. “This exhibition is very special. It is a sample of artists across Borikén (Puerto Rico) and the U.S. who create works that depict culturally-rooted Boricua life and futures beyond assimilation. The artworks are vessels that hold both new and ancestral knowledge of connection to self, land, and lineage. We invite our communities across New England to experience this exhibition, unlock the stories and wisdoms held within these artworks, and join us in our celebration of cultural power, self-determination, and fierce beauty,” says Shey Rivera Ríos. The curatorial and logistics team is: Shey Rivera Ríos (Studio Loba), Anabel Vázquez Rodríguez, Ruchika Nambiar, and Laura Duclos (WaterFire). 🔥 This exhibit is made possible with support from the Interlace Grant Fund, a regranting partner of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts; RISD SPUR Fund, WaterFire Arts Center, iolabs, Providence Picture Frame Company, and Puerto Rican Institute for Arts and Advocacy. @waterfireartscenter @iolabs @providencepictureframe @interlacefund @warholfoundation and @risd1877 @risd_gac @priaa_ri 🌺 For more info visit: Waterfire.org/tierrafutura Studioloba.com/tierrafutura 🌿🩵🔥💐⚔️🖤
