Description

he Demonstration Projects program supports artists and scholars from diverse disciplines to develop ideas and approaches that extend the conventional limits of arts research at the University of California. It seeks to encourage innovative, experimental, and risk-taking projects in both the visual and performing arts. - Individual - up to $5000 The Individual Demonstration Project grants are designed to assist individuals in the production of artwork, broadly defined. Grants are intended to support the direct costs of goods and services required to produce the body of work and may not be used for salary supplement. Individual Demonstration Project grants are available to UC faculty only ( i.e. ladder rank and lecturers with security of employment). - Collaborative - up to $25,000 Collaborative Research Awards are reserved for proposals that seek to maximize the potential for coordinated interdisciplinary arts research and experimental arts practice. Consideration will be given to those proposals that encourage curricular development and innovative resource-sharing within individual campuses and/or across two or more UC campuses. Projects that transcend boundaries, are collaborative in nature, engage contemporary culture, and strive to extend the conventional limits of arts research at the University of California are strongly encouraged. Applications may be initiated by UC faculty, staff or students. Evidence of multi-campus involvement, where appropriate, is required at the time of application.
