event June 11, 5:30 – 7:30pm
grant application deadline July 27, 2009, 5pm (not a postmark)
The Estate of Su Job, 4Culture and Artist Trust invite you to an event announcing and celebrating the first recipient of the Conductive Garboil Grant, a yearly, non-restricted award of $3,000 for Seattle artists who have a connection to the Pioneer Square neighborhood.
The program was created by artist Su Job just before her passing in December 2008. Job’s wish was to use funds originally designated for extended end of life care to establish an annual award that acknowledges artists who have “demonstrated a profound ability to challenge the limits of conductive creative discourse and its effects on our society, pushing the creative act beyond accepted limits, definitions, or purposes of art while engaging audiences outside the aesthetic industrial complex.”
Join us at Gallery4Culture on June 11, 2009 as we announce the inaugural winner of the Conductive Garboil Grant chosen by Su Job. We’ll introduce the selection panel for 2009 and celebrate one of Su’s gifts to our community. Refreshments will be served. Please RSVP.
The grant will be administered on an annual basis by 4Culture and Artist Trust with the assistance of Su Job’s personal representative, Lynn Schirmer. Applications for the next cycle will be available at the event. More details may be found at www.garboil.org.
