The Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant Program supports individual writers whose work addresses contemporary visual art through grants ranging from 3,000 to 50,000 USD, issued directly to individual authors. The first program of its type, it was founded in recognition of both the financially precarious situation of arts writers and their indispensable contribution to a vital artistic culture. The Arts Writers Grant Program aims to support the broad spectrum of writing on contemporary visual art, from general-audience criticism to academic scholarship.

DanceWorks Chicago and After School Matters: Tuesday, April 10
DanceWorks Chicago has been working intensively with the After School Matters Dance Ensemble in a multi-week residency this spring, and and our culminating event is coming up in G.A.R. Hall of the Chicago Cultural Center at 6:30pm on Tuesday, April 10. It would be an honor to have the SMART Growth community join us. It's been a wonderfully collaborative residency with dancers from both organizations taking responsibility for the work on stage as well as behind the scenes (flyer, program, costumes, etc.).
An inside look at the process is available via this link. Hope to see some of you there!
Happy Holiday Weekend!
