Abstract

Princeton Arts Fellowships, funded in part by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, David E. Kelley Society of Fellows in the Arts, and the Maurice R. Greenberg Scholarship Fund, will be awarded to artists whose achievements have been recognized as demonstrating extraordinary promise in any area of artistic practice and teaching.
Princeton Arts Fellows spend two consecutive academic years (September 1-July 1) at Princeton University and formal teaching is expected. The normal work assignment will be to teach one course each semester subject to approval by the Dean of the Faculty, but fellows may be asked to take on an artistic assignment in lieu of a class, such as directing a play or creating a dance with students. Although the teaching load is light, our expectation is that Fellows will be full and active members of our community, committed to frequent and engaged interactions with students during the academic year.
Fellowships are not intended to fund work leading to an advanced degree.

The New York State Council on the Arts recognizes that artists are at the center of creative endeavor. NYSCA is committed to providing opportunities for artists, at all stages in their careers, to continue to develop and present their work. NYSCA Support for Artists seeks to:

  • Enhance the vibrant and diverse artistic voices of New York State-based art makers.
  • Invest in projects that represent significant growth in the artistic development of individual artists.
  • Strengthen the relationships between individual artists and the artistic goals and mission of the sponsoring or commissioning organization, as applicable.

For FY2023 NYSCA will offer the following funding opportunities for artists.

  • NYSCA-NYFA Artist Fellowship Program
  • NYSCA supports artists in design fields in Partnership with the Architectural League
  • NYSCA Support for Artists

For FY2023 artists may apply for a creative grant to NYSCA, via a sponsoring organization, by selecting from the following artistic areas via a drop-down menu in the application portal.

  • Choreography Commissions
  • Composer Compositions
  • Film, Media, and New Technology
  • Folk and Traditional Arts
  • Interdisciplinary
  • Literature
  • Theater Commissions
  • Visual Arts

NYSCA will offer five opportunities this year: Support for Organizations, Support for Artists, Support for Special Opportunities, Support for Partnerships, and Regrowth and Capacity Enhancement.

Eligibility

Eligible fiscal sponsors are non-profit organizations incorporated or registered to do business in New York State.

Individual filmmakers, production companies and other non-Holocaust dedicated organisations are considered for one project per round. A director must be attached to the film and one sample of previous work created within the last five years should be submitted. No more than 50 per cent of the project's total costs will be provided and matching funding from another source is required. The grant may not be used for fundraising activities.

Abstract

We’re looking for exceptional storytelling that’s in line with our mission: stories that take risks, tackle important issues, address the needs of underserved audiences, and are seldom seen in public media. We know how hard you’ve worked on your project, and we’ll partner with you to help you finish it, then distribute it on public television.

Open Call gives independent producers funding to complete production for a standalone broadcast length documentary to air on public television. The documentary can be on any subject, viewpoint or style as long as it is in active production already, as evidenced via a ten to fifteen minute work in progress sample.

Eligibility

You are eligible to apply if you are:

  • The owner of the copyright of your production and maintain editorial control of the story. If more than one applicant is included on the application, both applicants must be copyright owners.
  • Not employed full-time as a producer or director by a broadcast entity or film studio.
  • Someone with previous film or television production experience in a principal role: director, producer or first-time filmmakers with an experienced producer attached to the project.
  • Graduate thesis are eligible as previously completed work. Undergraduate student work will not be reviewed
  • Applying to only this ITVS funding initiative at this time – we won’t review projects already under consideration for other ITVS funding.
  • A citizen or legal resident of the U.S. or its external territories age 18 or older.
  • Individuals can only submit one application per round, as either an applicant or a second applicant. However, an applicant can be a member of the key creative personnel on multiple projects.
  • Seeking funding for only production activities that support the completion and delivery of a program for broadcast.
  • Submitting a project that is in production or post-production. Projects that are early in production may not be as competitive unless you have demonstrated access, strong storytelling in your treatment and work sample, and an urgency to the story.

Abstract

The Program in Journalism and its academic home, the Council of the Humanities, welcome proposals from journalists to teach seminars in journalism as visiting Ferris Professors of Journalism and in nonfiction as visiting McGraw Professors of Writing.

Seminars meet once a week for three hours, with enrollment limited to 16. Students devote about six hours a week to class preparation. Every week or two, students submit assignments, which the professor critiques during mandatory one-on-one writing conferences. Professors often invite guest speakers and arrange a class visit to a newspaper or magazine.

Innovative and cross-disciplinary proposals are encouraged. Many seminars fall under one of these broad course rubrics:

  • The Literature of Fact
  • Investigative Journalism
  • Writing about Racial Justice
  • Data Journalism
  • Writing about the Environment
  • Covering Politics
  • International News
  • Audio Journalism
  • Visual Journalism
  • Writing about (Culture, Film, Ideas, Law, etc.)

Full-time visiting professors take a formal leave from daily journalism to devote themselves to teaching. They must be on campus four full days a week, on average; attend all faculty gatherings; and participate in University life. They give talks, participate in panels, advise students, and join in events.

Part-time visiting professors must spend two full days, on average, on campus each week for the 12-week term, as well as during the week of Reading Period. Part-time professors are expected to attend faculty gatherings whenever possible.

Essential qualifications:

  • Applicants should have achieved distinction in journalism or other kinds of non-fiction writing
  • Must be able to communicate their experience effectively to students, peers, and members of the community
  • Must be a practicing journalist--a reporter, editor, producer, photographer, critic, or documentarian
  • Must have at least five years' experience working at a news organization or writing regularly for major publications, including in the year immediately prior to submitting application
  • Must not have a tenure-track or administrative position at an academic institution
  • Must have a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

Abstract

The Sundance Institute Documentary Fund supports the work of nonfiction filmmakers from around the globe. In a changing media landscape, the fund has been a stable, progressive force in supporting work that has expressed the world in creative, complex, beautiful, and provocative ways, and has created real cultural and social impact around some of the most pressing issues of our time. We are proud to sit at the center of this burgeoning creative field with the Documentary Fund, which offers (non-recoupable) support for nonfiction projects that continue to elevate and advance cultural dialogue and break new ground in creativity and innovation. In its ongoing search for artists and projects to support, the Documentary Fund is seeking filmmakers with a distinct voice and vision, and a meaningful connection to the work they create. We are especially keen to raise the voices of underserved or underrepresented communities from around the world in the service of building a more fair, free, and open society.

Proposals to the Sundance Institute Documentary Fund are evaluated on several criteria, including artful film language, engaging storytelling, originality, feasibility, contemporary cultural relevance, journalistic rigor (where applicable), and potential to reach and connect with its intended audience. The Documentary Fund prioritizes funding films from early- career and emerging artists. To that end, film teams’ experience level and access to resources, both financial and creative, are taken into consideration. The creative team’s connection to and engagement with the community they are working with is also taken into consideration.

Eligibility

You are eligible to apply if you are:

  • The Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program (DFP) prioritizes support for independent nonfiction films with budgets under $1 million in U.S. dollars.
  • Creative and editorial control must be held by members of the films’ key creative teams.
  • For United States productions, the DFP prioritizes films led by artists from historically underrepresented communities. Projects that focus on historically underrepresented communities must have a key creative from the community or with deep ties to the community in a power-holding position represented on the team.
  • For international productions, we prioritize films led by artists from Africa, China, India, Latin America, and the Middle East. Indigenous artists globally and artists from the above regions who are living in the diaspora are also prioritized.
  • Applicants may submit at any production phase from development through post-production. All proposals must convey some vision for a finished film.
  • Projects that have not yet secured characters or subjects, are unable to articulate a story or structure, or are unable to explain the project’s driving central question are discouraged from applying. We are unable to consider proposals for story research. You do not need any prior funding or a fiscal sponsor in order to apply.
  • Once your film premieres, we are unable to provide post-production funding support. We therefore encourage applicants to apply at least six months before an anticipated premiere. Picture-locked cuts are also ineligible for post-production funding.
  • Projects that have previously received a grant through the Documentary Fund are not eligible to apply for additional funding through this open call.
