NYSCA Independent Projects Grants
Deadline: June 5, 2014
Storefront is pleased to act as a fiscal sponsor for select individuals who wish to apply to the NEW YORK STATE COUNCIL ON THE ARTS for an Independent Projects Award in the Architecture + Design Program for the 2014-2015 fiscal year. Storefront is an eligible New York State nonprofit organization, registered to conduct business with New York State.
General Information
Grants of up to $10,000 are available for individuals (or a team) to creatively explore, or to research an issue or problem in the field of design. Projects should advance that field and contribute to the public's understanding of design. The category seeks projects that are innovative in nature and emphasize artistry and design excellence. Projects may lead to the creation of design prototypes, explore new technology which impacts design, research a topic in design or architectural history, or engage in critical or theoretical analyses.
Eligibility
In order to be eligible to apply for Independent Project Support, individuals (or teams) must meet the following criteria:
- The individual (or team) must be professionals in their related architecture, design and/or historic preservation field. Architectural and design historians qualify.
- The project must emphasize design and reflect one (or more) of the fields supported in the category: architecture, landscape architecture, graphic, fashion, industrial and interior design.
- Faculty in architecture or design schools are welcome to apply. However, their proposed projects must not be part of a course curriculum.
- Project must take place between January 2015 - December 2015.
-
The individual (or team) must provide evidence that they are current New York State residents. Proof of New York State residency requires two of the documents per individual from the list below. All documentation must contain the individual's name and address. Documentation must be dated no earlier than 2013.
- Telephone Bill
- Credit card and/or bank statement (name and address page only; financial and account information should be blocked)
- NYS or Federal Tax Form (first page only; social security and financial information should be blocked)
- Current lease or mortgage agreement for a home residence listing the individual's name and showing a NYS address.
- NYS Driver's license or NYS ID card
- Voter registration card
- The individual (or team) may not be applying for another NYSCA project with another team or with another fiscal sponsor organization. If individuals appear on more than one request, both requests will be deemed ineligible for support.
Ineligible Projects include:
- Student projects are ineligible for support. Currently matriculated students must document that their projects are not related to the completion of a degree.
- Visual artists whose work references the built environment
- Projects that request NYSCA funds for out-of-state travel expenses. (Please note out-of-state travel expenses may be involved in your project; however, you should be prepared to note how you will cover these expenses with funds outside of NYSCA.)
