3. Call for Proposals
a2ru National Conference "Land and Equity: The Art and Politics of Place"
October 15-17, 2020
University of Wisconsin - Madison
Deadline extended: May 1
https://www.a2ru.org/events/2020-a2ru-annual-meeting/
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) invites proposals for the 2020 a2ru national conference, "Land and Equity: The Art and Politics of Place," to be held at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, October 15-17, 2020.
The a2ru National Conference is an opportunity for practitioners and researchers from across the higher education spectrum to share innovations and perspectives in the arts.
The 2020 theme Land & Equity considers how our work as artistic, scientific, and humanist researchers and educators is defined by the land on which we find ourselves, and asks who has access to that land and its resources? In turn, we will examine how our art, research, and teaching impacts the places and spaces in which we live and work, and discuss ways that we can use that work to advance more equitable access.
TRACK ONE: Land and equity: the art and politics of place
Topics in Track One connect more directly with the 2020 conference theme through the lens of the arts, design, and interdisciplinary teaching, and/or research and practice. Presentations and workshops should contribute to the conference by addressing one of the following themes or related issues: sustainability, environmental art, indigenous art, site-specific art, land activism, art-based community development, maps/boundaries/ways of defining place, public art, and artistic expressions of refugee/migrant experiences.
TRACK TWO: The arts and design in research universities
Topics in track two are broadly concerned with creating and supporting work, developing tools, and presenting ideas about the arts and design in the context of academic research and teaching cultures. Presentations and workshops should contribute to the conference by addressing one of the following themes: modes of collaboration; interdisciplinary stewardship; equity; campus amplification and departmental engagement; promotion and tenure; and insights, cultures of evidence, impacts case-making, and dealing with data.

4. The Arts Writers Grant Program
Deadline: May 20
https://www.artswriters.org
The Arts Writers Grant Program was founded in 2006 to recognize the precarious situation of arts writers, and their indispensable contribution to a vital artistic culture. As the COVID-19 outbreak further threatens the cultural and arts writing landscape, the Arts Writers Grant Program is grateful for the Andy Warhol Foundation's continued support to once again offer an open application.
The Arts Writers Grant supports emerging and established writers who are writing about contemporary visual art. Ranging from $15,000 to $50,000, these grants support projects addressing both general and specialized art audiences, from short reviews for magazines and newspapers to in-depth scholarly studies. Writers are invited to apply in one of the following categories: article, book, or short-form writing.
The Arts Writers Grant Program is funded by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and administered by Creative Capital.
