FOR PROPOSALS
Explore contemporary art in your community and make valuable connections to
local institutions and resources by taking part in one of Art21šs piloting
outreach initiatives.
To inspire broad participation, Art21 will offer a limited number of
incentive grants and free Art:21 materials. Online project toolkits
containing publicity aids, planning materials, and educational resources
will be available for download upon registration at www.art21.org later this
spring.
NEW PILOT PROGRAMS FOR 2006...
YOUTH ENGAGEMENT introduces teens, educators, and their communities to
contemporary art. Pilot partners participating in this initiative will
submit creative ideas for using the Art:21 series to provoke thought and
discussion. A wide range of after-school programs and other youth-focused
organizations will plan screening events, discussion forums, and hands-on
activities for student, parent, and teacher audiences.
MUSEUM + LIBRARY PARTNERSHIPS encourages collaboration between local
cultural institutions. Exploring contemporary art from visual and literary
perspectives, the initiative focuses on specific thematic episodes from the
Art:21 series. Local museums and libraries will partner to host a series of
public programs, workshops, and other activities. Events are tailored for
adult, family, and youth audiences, and encourage an interdisciplinary
approach to navigating the art of today.
ONGOING INITIATIVES...
Independent Screenings - Art21 extends an open invitation for organizations
and individuals to host their own Art:21 screenings. In keeping with Art21šs
participatory model, partners are encouraged to include discussion forums or
other interactive components in their event. Programming ideas and past
examples can be found at
http://www.pbs.org/art21/events/screenings/index.html. Online screening
toolkits for all 12 episodes of the series will be downloadable later this
spring.
COMING SUMMER 2007 - SEASON FOUR PREVIEW SCREENINGS
Mark your calendars!
To celebrate Art:21šs Season Four broadcast, museums, schools,
community-based organizations, and individuals host preview events before
the season premiere to inspire new audiences and alert local communities
about the broadcast. Almost 200 organizations in all 50 states and 6
different countries participated in Art21šs Season Three preview screening
initiative.
