The Social Ecology Studio is accepting applications from graduate and undergraduate students for Project Pilot Grants intended to support projects working within the vision of the studio.
Vision: The Social Ecology Studio is a multi-researcher, collaborative art workspace dedicated to advancing sustainability and resilience through the arts. Capitalizing on art's ability to engage, inform and activate a diverse range of constituents, the studio acts as a bridge, humanizing and connecting community members and policy makers with issues entrenched in social ecology. The Studio facilitates collaborations with scientific and social research topics from across campus and the community, serving as a hub for graduate and undergraduate students to identify research opportunities while providing space and resources to work collaboratively.
Granting Priority will be given to projects that fulfill one or more of the following objectives:
- The project engages current social and ecological issues.
- The project is collaborative.
- The artist collaborates with researchers from non-arts disciplines in one of the following manners:
- bringing art thinking into the workflow of non-arts discipline research,
- utilizing the research of non-arts discipline(s) in the ideation and/or
methodology of the artist's workflow,
- utilizing non-arts research in the production of the work.
- The project interacts with the community outside of the University.
- The project serves as a pilot for a CURO research project proposal, Sustainability Grant
Proposal, Willson Center Graduate Research Award application, or other UGA or external research opportunity.
Grant Proposals must include a written statement no more than one page in length (single spaced, 1 inch margin, 11 point type), identifying the proposed project and its alignment with studio vision and granting priorities. On a second page include a budget and short paragraph justifying the budget expenditures.

12. a2ru National Conference
November 1-4
Northeastern University, Boston, MA
Registration now open
http://a2ruevents.wixsite.com/a2ruboston
The 2017 theme, "Arts in the Public Sphere: Civility, Advocacy, and Engagement," will use the city of Boston as a starting point for discussion and engagement surrounding creative placemaking. As a 21st century global city, Boston embodies many of the issues that drive diverse contemporary cultural contexts. It supports a rich and continually evolving sense of civic realms, and is home to leading arts, educational, medical, industrial, and corporate entities invested in innovative modes of research, practice, and civic participation. There is also clear recognition that the 'public sphere' is not confined to large metropolitan regions. Creating dynamic communities that engage and extend beyond traditional boundaries - in both virtual and material ways - remains a growing challenge and the work before us.
The a2ru Student Travel Grant Program is open to any undergraduate or graduate student currently attending a partner institution who would like to attend the annual a2ru conference. Grants of up to $250 will be awarded. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and only a limited number are available for each a2ru conference event.
