November 6 - 17
https://www.arts.uga.edu/spotlight-on-the-arts/
The University of Georgia's annual Spotlight on the Arts festival returns for its eighth year with dozens of exhibitions and performances in the visual, literary and performing arts from Nov. 6 - 17.
The creative work presented over the 12-day festival highlights the breadth of arts offerings on campus, and it includes performances and exhibitions by UGA faculty and students as well as visiting artists from around the world. Many of the events are free or discounted for UGA students, and the annual Spotlight on the Arts Family Day will be presented free of charge Nov. 16.
"Spotlight on the Arts provides students, faculty, staff and community members with dozens of opportunities to become more engaged with the outstanding arts programs the University of Georgia offers," said S. Jack Hu, the university's senior vice president for academic affairs and provost. "The creativity and dedication of the members of the UGA Arts Council, faculty and performing artists will be on display throughout the festival."

Applications due November 11, 2019 at 9 AM
https://sustainability.uga.edu/student-programs/sustainability-grants/
Ideas for Creative Exploration and the Office of Sustainability invite you to apply for a UGA Campus Sustainability Grant. Special consideration will be given to projects incorporating sustainability + arts.
Drawn from the Student Green Fee, grants up to $5,000 are available to current UGA students who wish to initiate projects to advance sustainability through education, research, service, and campus operations. Successful projects will address priorities outlined in UGA's 2020 Strategic Plan to actively conserve resources, educate the campus community, influence positive action for people and the environment, and provide useful research data to inform future campus sustainability efforts. Interdisciplinary projects designed to inspire, beautify and uplift -- as well as to inform and conserve -- are encouraged. Special consideration will be given to projects incorporating sustainability + arts. Grants are awarded based on merit, positive impact, implementation feasibility, and available funding.
The Office of Sustainability coordinates, communicates, and advances sustainability initiatives at UGA in the areas of teaching, research, service and outreach, student engagement, and campus operations. For more information visit sustainability.uga.edu.

6. MAP Fund Grants
Deadline: November 25
https://mapfundblog.org
MAP invests in artistic production as the critical foundation of imagining -- and ultimately co-creating -- a more equitable and vibrant society. MAP awards $1 million annually, to up to 45 projects in the range of $10,000-$45,000 per grant.
The grant supports original live performance projects that embody a spirit of deep inquiry, particularly works created by artists who question, disrupt, complicate, and challenge inherited notions of social and cultural hierarchy across the United States.
Funded projects address these concerns through the processes of creating and distributing live performance to the public, and/or through the content and themes of the work itself. MAP is committed to intersectional anti-racism, and does not support cultural appropriation or oppressive project language, structures, or content.
The program pursues its mission by annually welcoming applications for new live performance projects. Each year, MAP hires a different cohort of peer reviewers who recommend the projects they believe most align with MAP's goals through a rigorous, facilitated review process.
