Rhizome Commissions, 2012 –
2013: Call for Proposals
Deadline Extended to May 1st,
2012
From their website: Founded
in 2001, the goal of the Rhizome Commissions Program is to support emerging
artists by providing grants for the creation of significant works of new media
art. By new media art, we mean projects that creatively engage new and networked
technologies and works that reflect on the broader social and political impact
of these tools and media in a variety of forms. Rhizome defines emerging artist
as artists who exhibit great potential yet are not fully recognized within
their field. Commissioned works can take the final form of web-based works,
works that engage mobile platforms, performance, video, installation or sound
art. Projects can be made for the context of the gallery, the public, the web
or networked devices. Rhizome Commissions awards generally range from $1,000 to
$5,000.

2012-2013: Call for Proposals
This year, Rhizome is placing a specific focus on projects geared that
address social issues and/or promote individual advancement through education
or participation. Our focus is not restricted to this theme, but it is a
priority.
Rhizome will award ten
grants: eight grants will be determined by a jury of experts in the field, and
two will be determined by Rhizome’s membership through an open vote.
