7. Opportunity: 4'33" Competition
Deadline: Wednesday, October 3 at 5 PM

2018 Spotlight on Arts Scholarship Competition
This competition highlights scholarly research by UGA students about any art form or combination of art forms, including (but not restricted to): visual art, music, theatre, dance, film, literature, media arts, or performance art. The focus is on historical, theoretical, and critical research about art, as opposed to original works of art created by the students.
The competition provides an opportunity for students to present their research in a clear and accessible way to students, faculty, administrators, and alumni throughout the university. Students may present their research in one of two ways:
4'33" Thesis Presentations. Students will present an oral presentation about their research, no longer than four minutes and thirty three seconds in length, accompanied by Powerpoint slides as necessary. (Note that the media should be used to support and illustrate the live presentation, not as a substitute for it.) Eligibility: Any graduate student, or any undergraduate student working on a CURO project, who is conducting scholarly research about art or artists in any discipline is eligible to apply.
The 4'33" Thesis Competition will be held on Wednesday, November 7, from 7:00-8:30 pm in the Georgia Museum of Art Auditorium. The first prize winner will receive $433.
4'33 Poster Exhibit. Students create an exhibit about their research that either can be mounted on the wall or fits on a 4' x 3' section of a table. The exhibits will typically consist of a poster-board display, but can include other visual aids. If the exhibit includes audio and/or video, a playback device and headphone must be provided; power outlets will be available. Eligibility: Any graduate student, or any undergraduate student working on a CURO project, who is conducting scholarly research about art or artists in any discipline is eligible to apply.
The 4'33 Poster Exhibit will be on display from Thursday, November 1 through Wednesday, November 7 in the Georgia Museum of Art Education Center. The exhibit opening will coincide with the President's Spotlight on the Arts Reception and the opening for the 2018 National Conference of the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities, hosted on our campus this year. The 4'33" Poster Competition judging will be held on Wednesday, November 7 from 5:00-7:00 pm in the Georgia Museum of Art Education Center. Students must be present during this time to present their poster and answer questions. Three $150 prizes will be awarded in three categories: Most Effective Communication, Most Innovative Research, and Most Creative Presentation. Students may win in more than one category.
To apply: On no more than 1 typed page, provide your full name, department, degree program, name of faculty advisor, and a summary of your research project that it clearly explains the significance and originality of your research to both specialized and non-specialists in your area. E-mail your application to Camie Williams at [log in to unmask]

8. Opportunity: Social Ecology Studio Grants
Deadline: 10/29
The Social Ecology Studio is accepting applications from undergraduate and graduate students for Project Pilot Grants of up to $600 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/or 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 general budget outline and short paragraph justifying the budget expenditures.
Grant Amounts will generally be awarded in the range of $200-$600 and will include access to a collaborative studio workspace, and project mentorship from studio director Michael Marshall and a network of affiliated faculty from across campus. Unfunded proposals may still be eligible for facility and mentorship support by invitation.
All expenditures are subject to UGA policies and procedures.
Application Deadline: Monday, October 29, 5:00pm.

11. a2ru National Conference
November 1-3
University of Georgia
https://www.a2ru.org/events/2018-national-conference/
UGA will host the 2018 National Conference for the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) on the theme of "Arts Environments: Design, Resilience, and Sustainability." The conference will be held in partnership with the UGA Arts Council and in conjunction with the November Spotlight on the Arts festival.
The 2018 theme, Arts Environments: Design, Resilience, and Sustainability, is an invitation to explore the relationship between creativity and diverse cultural locations, by framing discussions about design, resilience, and sustainability in context of interdisciplinary artistic and environmental practice. The theme offers an opportunity to think broadly about the ecology of the arts and their environments, in terms of performance, design, and engineering. A land and sea grant institution inextricable from the town of Athens and the broader ecologies of Georgia and the Southeast, the University of Georgia will provide a rich context for thinking creatively about Arts Environments globally.
