Art Meets Activism
The Kentucky Foundation for Women has announced a March 3 deadline for the 2006 Arts Meet Activism grants.
The primary goal of the Art Meets Activism program is to support feminist artists and organizations in the development and implementation of art activities that are directly focused on social change in Kentucky. Applicants should be able to demonstrate their commitment to feminism and their understanding of the relationship between art and social change. Applicants may request funds for a range of artistic activities including: arts education programs focused on women or girls, community participation in the creation of new art forms, artist-centered projects involving non-traditional venues or new partnerships between artists and activists, and artist-centered projects with social change themes or contents.

I’m a day late with my comment—But I think that one of the points that Winning Writers is trying to make with their Wergle Flomp Contest is that (”good” or “bad”) poems sent to the “vanity contests” are not being READ at all. A couple of years ago I sent a few short poems to Poetry.com and received the exact same letter for each poem praising me for my exceptional talent and blah-blah-blah-wouldn’t I like to take it to the next level–all I have to do is send $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and I will be considered for the big prize money.

Thanks, Anna & Georgia, for your thoughtful comments on this subject. I’ll admit that I posted the Worbel Floomp contest just because it struck me as sort of deliciously silly. But you all have made me think about it — and that’s a good thing.
