University of Rhode Island Seeks Proposals for 2013 Visual Arts Sea Grant Program
The University of Rhode Island Department of Art and Art History is accepting proposals for the Visual Arts Sea Grant Program of Rhode Island, which supports projects by professional visual artists that illustrate themes related to the ocean environment and coastal communities.
Grants of up to $3,000 will be awarded to individual and/or collaborating artists in New England whose works are related to marine environment themes. The program will also consider curatorial projects. Applications will be reviewed by a panel of Rhode Island visual arts professionals.
