Deadline: July 4, 2014.

The foundation’s Emerging Artist Fellowship at the Santa Fe Art Institute was established in 2013 to provide an annual opportunity to an emerging visual artist who is at least 25 years old and who needs time and space to explore ideas and start new projects. Artist fellows will receive a one-month residency at the Santa Fe Art Institute, which includes a room with private bath, studio space, and a $500 travel stipend.

Engaging Audiences in the Mobile Space

July 9, 2014 at 3:00 p.m. (ET)

There’s no question that the capabilities and usage of mobile devices continue to rise as technology advances. That means new and existing audiences are using mobile devices to search for your organization, access information about it, and even purchase tickets. If your arts organization has yet to embrace mobile, you’ll soon be left behind. As more arts organizations adopt new forms of technology to engage audiences, you must evaluate your own organization’s (and audience’s) mobile needs and act on them. In this webinar, you will hear how organizations have used mobile in innovative (and in some cases, free!) ways. REGISTER NOW.
