First Bhodi Tree Artists Collective Call For Proposals!

The Bhodi Tree Artists Collective will be awarding it's first grants to two lucky artists. Here's the skinny:

- The award is for L1000 each. It can go to any work the artist wishes, but it must go to works of art. It can only go to land purchase if that is made clear in the proposal, and if the work is to be an installation piece.

- The winning applications will be chosen by a committee of members of the Bhodi Tree Gallery Collective. Those not chosen are free to enter the same, or a different, proposal in the next round. We're anticipating a very difficult choice, and no one who is not chosen should feel badly about it. We're odd ducks, and who knows why we like what we like? Heh, no accounting for taste.

- The winners will each be expected to teach two sessions of a "master class" for other artists interested in perfecting their skills. This class can be on anything the winners feel they are particularly skilled in, from texturing to scripting to the basics of design and color.

The Application Process:
Each applicant should submit to Bhodi Siverman a notecard with:
- a detailed description of the project you intend to build and the resource you will need to do so
- three pictures of or landmarks to work you have done that is currently in SL
- what class you would be willing to teach in return for the grant money

ALL ENTRIES MUST BE RECEIVED BY November 7th at Midnight, PST.

THanks, Bhodi

Shameless Bump:

Get your applications in - the field is wide open!

Keep in mind that the BTAC takes a wide view of the word "art" - so projects of almost any sort except for stores, Lindenworld rides and privte homes probably qualify.

I would enter my underground forest in

>>>WARNING: SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION AHEAD<<<

Hawthorne, 60, 130

<<<END SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION>>>

But I dont think i'm nearly qualified enough to teach a class or anything complex like that.

I like what you're doing with this group though, being a RL artist myself, keep it up!

Artemis,

Actually, the point is to enter projects you would LIKE to build, but haven't. So, you could show us your underground forest adn then apply for the L1000 to do, say, an above-ground root system for it? <grin>

Seriously, apply! I'm sure there is something you do well enough to teach - if you've built an underground forest, for instance, you must be one hell of a terra-former!

It's probably less spectacular then you have in your head if you think i'd have to be a hell of a terra-former to do it, it's actually pretty simple.

I seriously dont think I could teach a class, i've only been on a week, i've just gotten a lot acomplished in that time.

IM me some time though, maybe i'll take some of the classes, hehe.
