Call For Entries: CBAA Project
Assistance Grants 2013
The CBAA Board invites members to submit proposals for project assistance grants. These grants are intended to provide financial assistance to members for existing research and creative projects. Proposals will be accepted through June 1, 2013, and grants will be awarded in amounts up to $500 from the CBAA. Grants, while not large, are intended to help support existing projects with modest extra funding that allows progress to continue or projects to be completed. Funds are awarded until the budgeted allocation is exhausted. Grant-funded members may be asked to contribute a brief report to the CBAA newsletter, and/or present informally on their projects if in attendance at the biennial conference.

“A good story, an intriguing past, a sense of escapism, and beauty are all a part of why I select my sources of inspiration. I often begin a project by sketching because hand drawing has always fed my imagination and provides me with an escape from my current world into that which I am creating. My hand drawn work tends to focus on people and places, as in portraiture and urban landscapes, while my typographic work is more about graphically displaying letterforms as pattern, movement, and texture. I am interested in works that show care, rigor and exactitude.”
