In this two-part clinic\, you will get an introduction to grant writing basics for artists\, and then take a deeper dive workshopping your own grant components. Whether you have a specific grant in mind or you want to build out your skills\, this program will help you improve your ability to communicate about your work to grant committees.  \nIn the first session you’ll review various artist grant types and functions\, including best practices\, grant components\, and sources of support. There will be homework between the sessions based on your specific needs. The second session will consist of a deeper dive into specific grant proposals based on participant needs with a focus on writing project narratives\, justifications\, and putting together a grant budget. You will also have the opportunity for 1:1 coaching from the presenter for your specific grant package. \nThis professional development opportunity is ideal for creatives of all kinds who want to do more than just learning the basics of grant writing. The hands-on experience in the homework and second session where we “work” and “workshop” our grant narratives and/or justifications will mean that you leave the program with a much stronger understanding of what your grant packages can look like. As part of this professional development opportunity\, participants will also have the option of 1:1 coaching for grant reviewing\, editing\, and general feedback. This clinic is an investment in your artistic practice and the homework is an integral part of the experience. \nThis course meets on Zoom. There are TWO meeting dates: Feb 10 and 24\, 6-8p Mondays \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Lectures in Art History: Rebecca VanDiver\, Vanderbilt University
DESCRIPTION:“States of Emergency: Ephemera and Ephemerality in African American Art\, 1965-2000” \nZoom (Virtual)\nRegister to attend here: https://unc.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJArdemsqzMoH91sPljGvCI9Nin1L82-x_ZY  \n“Seize the Time!” urged Black Panther Party co-founder Bobby Searle\, compelling Black activists to capture the politically and racially charged late 1960s and capitalize on its potential for radical revolution. The slogan insinuated that the moment could be seized—grasped\, appropriated\, and manipulated—in service of Black activism. How African American artists “seize[d] the time” via form and content\, both then and now\, remains a vital question for art historians. In this lecture\, Prof. VanDiver queries what role ephemerality\, the transient or fugitive\, plays in African American fine art during periods of intense racial unrest.  \nDr. Rebecca VanDiver is an associate professor of African American art and a current Chancellor’s Faculty Fellow at Vanderbilt University. She received an A.B. in the History of Art and Architecture from Harvard University before obtaining an M.A. and Ph.D. in Art History from Duke University. VanDiver’s research and teaching centers on modern and contemporary African American art. She is particularly committed to writing the art histories of Black women and more recently considering African American artistic engagements with ephemeral print.  She is the author of Designing a New Tradition: Loïs Mailou Jones and the Aesthetics of Blackness (Penn State University Press\, 2020)\, a winner of the 2023 James A. Porter Book Award in African American Art History.  Her scholarship has appeared in Art Journal\, American Art\, Archives of American Art Journal\, Callaloo\, and numerous exhibition catalogs. \nContact: Lyneise Williams\, williale@email.unc.edu  \nImage: Charles White\, Wanted Poster #14a\, 1970\, Lithograph\, printed by Harry Westlund and the Tamarind Lithography Workshop \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Lectures in Art History: Julia Lum\, Scripps College
DESCRIPTION:“Landfalls: Visual Politics of Place and Space in Aotearoa New Zealand” \nZoom\nRegister to attend here: https://unc.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwof-iurzMiH9O6LAVItUCY5s-gFuJQ-d0x  \nWhile art-historical accounts of imperial landscapes have typically focused attention on the myriad ways that European traveler-artists projected domination\, the first British landscape artists in Aotearoa New Zealand exhibited a precarious presence in Māori-shaped environments. Early nineteenth-century artists like Augustus Earle embedded in their compositions vertical impediments to the “prospect” view: formidable hilltop fortresses\, carvings signaling sacred terrain\, muskets\, and flagstaffs—symbols that foreshadow escalating cross-cultural tensions of the 1840s. While Māori signposts stood as pictorial devices in landscape views\, they were also resistant to a total absorption into picturesque formulae.  \nMāori landscapes were then\, as now\, structured according to the spatial logics of voyaging and ancestral relations across time and space. The collision—and ultimate untranslatability—of British and Māori spatio-temporal understandings have resulted in a peculiar set of “false cognates” across visual and material forms. These dynamics are inflected in the work of present-day artists like Shane Cotton (Ngāti Rangi\, Ngāti Hine\, Te Uri Taniwha)\, whose paintings and installations point to the unresolved conflict between British and Indigenous epistemologies. This paper will highlight select meetings\, in the past and present\, of agents and artists who have shaped landscape politics on grounds both physical and aesthetic. \nJulia Lum is an Assistant Professor of Art History at Scripps College. She received her Ph.D. from Yale University and her M.A. from Carleton University. Lum is currently a 2023 Getty/ACLS Postdoctoral Fellow in the History of Art. Lum’s fellowship project\, Landfalls: Art Between Britain and Polynesia\, reexamines and re-centers art history in the Pacific region from the 18th century onward\, with a particular focus on the role landscape painting played in British colonization in the aftermath of James Cook’s voyages from 1768¬–79. Landfalls “tracks a shifting set of artistic and material collisions between European and Indigenous spatial frameworks\, cultures of environmental management\, and distinct attitudes toward land and ocean resources\,” Lum’s abstract explains. “Through a series of historic case studies\, interwoven with analyses of contemporary Indigenous interventions in the visual archive\, this project repositions ‘landscape’ at the intersection of culturally-shaped environments and the aesthetic claims of an imperial imaginary.” \nContact: Lyneise Williams\, williale@email.unc.edu  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:SEEDS: Artist Management & Digital Marketing in a Streaming World
DESCRIPTION:Blair Clark\, CEO + Director of Marketing & Strategy at Brooklyn Basement Records\, manager of Ron Pope & Miko Marks  \nDo you even need a manager when streaming is king? How can you market to all the streaming platforms? Rissi and Blair talk about their experiences on both sides of the streaming issue. Listen to this if you want your music in everyone’s ears.  \nBlair Clark took a circuitous route to her career in music. While maintaining a full-time position in advertising in New York\, she began managing Ron Pope on the side\, shaping his career as it began to take off. She slowly took on a larger\, more central role in Pope’s project – helping with everything from merchandising and website design to fan engagement initiatives and album production. Proving herself to be an invaluable asset\, Blair quit her job in advertising to manage Ron full-time in 2012 and added other acts to her roster shortly thereafter. Her current roster includes Ron Pope\, Miko Marks\, & Emily Scott Robinson. \nIn addition to her work as a manager\, Blair co-founded Brooklyn Basement Records in 2015. The label was built around a DIY mentality and strives to take the knowledge garnered via years of success in the indie music sphere and apply it to the careers of each artist BBR partners with. With the needs of today’s artists in mind\, BBR has begun to function as a marketing agency for a growing roster of artists that want to retain ownership of their masters\, but need the support of a team behind their release. In 2021 she was named to the board of Directors for Rainey Day Fund\, which supports historically excluded & underrepresented artists in the roots and Americana space. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Lectures in Art History: Ashley West\, Temple University
DESCRIPTION:“Local Innovation and Intermedial Thinking in Pre-Modern Augsburg” \nZoom\nRegistration Link at website (available until start of event) \nIn such an internationally-connected—even globally-connected—cultural and financial center as Augsburg in the early sixteenth century\, what is the importance of the sense of place and locality generated by its citizens and artists\, and what might we learn by drilling down to the street-level of activity and interaction taking place there? Central to this story is the painter and print designer\, Hans Burgkmair\, whose name appears in the Augsburg guild records in 1498 as master in the Painter\, Glazier\, and Sculptors’ Guild. Soon after becoming a master Burgkmair began to keep a steady workshop of apprentices – introducing the first into the guild records in 1499\, with three more listed in 1501. In 1508 Wolfgang Resch\, one of Augsburg’s most skilled woodblock-cutters\, lived in Burgkmair’s house. Tax records also indicate that the sculptor Sebastian Loscher resided with Burgkmair from 1510-14. The esteemed imperial armorers\, the Helmschmieds\, were particularly close to the Burgkmair household. In this talk I shall explore the living-working shared spaces of some of Augsburg’s key artist workshops\, arguing that the close proximity of various named craftsmen working in different materials brought about not only collaborations and creative energy in multi-media works\, but foremost artistic and technical innovations by Burgkmair during these years\, especially in the sphere of printmaking. What’s at stake ultimately here is the illumination of a localized topographic view of key artistic sites and networks—personal and professional —and an expansive idea of what the technical\, manual\, and cognitive processes were for a master like Burgkmair. \nAshley West is an art historian of the early modern period\, 1400-1700\, with a particular expertise in the history\, practice and theory of printmaking and with interests in imagery produced around different kinds of cross-cultural encounters between Europe and the Ottoman Empire\, the “New World\,” Africa and the East Indies. She studies processes of cultural transmission and the dissemination of knowledge in the early modern period\, as well as opportunities for artistic exchange through travel and portable objects\, pilgrimages\, diplomacy\, warfare\, global trade and exploration and early collecting practices. \nWest has been a fellow with the international research project on “BildEvidenz. History and Aesthetics” at the Kunsthistorisches Institut at the Freie Universität in Berlin and her work has been supported also by the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts (CASVA) and the Andrew Mellon Foundation\, among others. She is currently working on the visual culture and technologies of sixteenth-century Augsburg as a site for negotiating the global and the local in everyday experience; and is co-editing a volume on the Cultural History of Collecting in Early Modern Europe for Bloomsbury Academic Press. \nWest has published on early etchings; woodcuts of late medieval relic collections; notions of visual history and the German sense of the past; early modern antiquarianism and early representations of peoples from the coast of Africa and India. Her forthcoming book\, Hans Burgkmair and the Visual Translation of Knowledge in the German Renaissance\, reevaluates notions of the German Renaissance through the prints\, drawings and paintings of Hans Burgkmair the Elder\, a contemporary of Albrecht Dürer. \nContact: Christoph Brachmann\, cbrachma@email.unc.edu\nImage credit: attrib.
