The Artist Outreach
Project (AOP) application deadline is July 31, 2013. Visual, performing
and literary artists, 55 years of age and older, who live in Orange County and
North San Diego County, are eligible to apply.
The Kenneth
A. Picerne Foundation will award up to 20 artists $12,000 to provide
under-served groups with educational, mentoring, and/or therapeutic arts
experiences of the artist's own design.
These art
experiences are intended to reach people of all ages who lack opportunities to
engage in meaningful arts programs. Artists choose a nonprofit to collaborate
with and the population they are interested in serving. Artists awarded the
grant are expected to contribute an average of six hours a week to the people
they are serving over the course of one year.
“To all of
you that have thought you might like to reach out into he community with your
terrific art talents and projects, I can tell you, this program is “fantastic
and one of a kind! So roll up your sleeves, get involved with your community
and bring the best of what the arts can offer to others”, Cheryl Ehlers, past
grant recipient.
