Please note, artists of all disciplines are encouraged to apply (ie, visual artists, poets, writers, performance artists). Only those artists that are considered will be interviewed mid-December.
Announcements of selected artists will be made by December 31, 2008.

Multiple artists or teams of artists will be chosen.
