is seeking recommendations for the 2012 Emerging Artists Awards.  Now in its 48th year, the program has provided more than 335 grants to artists in New England. Grants are awarded in three disciplines: literature, music, and the visual arts.

Emerging Artists Awards. Each year the SBCF gives out $2,500 grants to Emerging Artists who live and work in New England.  Grants may be used for a variety of purposes. (Previously funded proposals have included requests to support travel; research; participation in performance institutes; purchases of instruments, tools or supplies; time off to finish a project or a commission, etc.)

Candidates. Candidates should be emerging artists who have completed their undergraduate education but have yet to achieve recognized public success; there is no age limit.  They must live and work in New England.

Recommendation procedure. You are invited to recommend one or two candidates, with a separate recommendation letter for each (the letter does not need to be lengthy), employing the following criteria: 1) the candidate should show significant promise and 2) the award will make a substantial difference in the artist’s professional life. Recommendation letters should also provide the Committee with your own credentials (e.g. teacher, mentor, curator) for judging the candidate’s qualifications. (Note: You may elect to make your nomination anonymous to the candidate; if so, please inform us.)

Mailing: We request that you send your letter by email to kate.andres@gmail.com.

Please include all relevant contact information for both you and the candidate.  Upon receipt we will contact your candidate via email with the necessary information they will need to apply.

Dates. The deadline for receipt of your recommendation is March 15, 2012 and the candidate’s application is due on April 13th. (Awards will be announced in May; recipients will receive their awards in June, 2012.)
