USC Annenberg School for Communication
USC Annenberg/Getty Arts Journalism Program
Journalism Fellowships - Program offers six to nine competitive fellowships to mid-career arts & culture writers and editors from print, broadcast, and online journalism to attend a three-week enrichment program in Los Angeles, March 7 to 28, 2004.
http://annenberg.usc.edu/getty
The intensive multi-disciplinary program is designed to bring the fellows into direct contact with known and unknown artists and arts professionals who work in LA. Highlights of this year s program include New York Times critic John Rockwell as Speaker-in-Residence.
Conversations are also planned with such artists + curators + directors as Amalia Mesa-Bains, Osvaldo Golijov, Dawn Upshaw, Peter Sellars, Michael Maltzan, Eric Owen Moss, Deborah Gribbon, John Malpede, Michael Ritchie and Ramaa Bharadvaj.
The USC Annenberg/Getty Arts Journalism Program, based at USC s School of Journalism, is funded in part by a grant from the J. Paul Getty Trust.
===========
USC Annenberg/Getty Arts Journalism Fellowship Program
New Perspectives for Mid-Career Arts & Culture Journalists, 2004
The USC Annenberg Getty/Arts Journalism Program is an enrichment and training program for a small group of distinguished mid-career arts reporters and editors from print, broadcast, and online journalism. Based at the School of Journalism within USC Annenberg School for Communication, the intensive three-week multi-disciplinary program is designed to:
Strengthen the analytical skills of working arts journalists
Broaden their understanding of social and economic policy issues that affect the arts
Expose them to the Los Angeles arts community in-depth
The genesis of the USC Annenberg Getty/Arts Journalism Program is the conviction that arts writers by their mid-career are ready to change, get out of ruts, open their eyes and fix their experience on new terrain – even if it’s only to return to the old. To do this, they need time and a break. They need fresh material, new teachers, discomfort and unknowns. They need change to change.
The offerings on the USC Annenberg Getty/Arts Journalism Program are designed to bring the Fellows into direct contact with eminent artists and arts professionals in LA. Highlights of this year s program include John Rockwell as Speaker-in-Residence for five days. Rockwell s writing and editorial work on music and dance for The New York Times is well-known, and he was also formerly classical music and and dance critic for the Los Angeles Times. He will primarily address Robert Wilson s new production of Puccini s "Madama Butterly" and Richard Strauss s "Die Frau Ohne Shatten," with sets by David Hockney, for the Los Angeles Opera. Conversations are also planned with such artists as Esa-Pekka Salonen, Osvaldo Golijov, Dawn Upshaw, Peter Sellars, Michael Maltzan, John Malpede, Margaret Honda, Amalia Mesa-Bains and Ramaa Bharadvaj.
Among the many performances and exhibits taking place during the program s three weeks are several at Frank O. Gehry s newly opened Walt Disney Concert Hall. Performances by the Los Angeles Philharmonic are a definite part of the schedule. The program, however, also concentrates strongly on community arts activism, and arts that are indigenous to Los Angeles and unique to it. We get off the beaten path frequently and visit small and mid-sized institutions.
The dynamics of the mainstream and ethnic presses (there are 250 ethnic media in Southern California) are explored, and the interrelationship between them is examined. Los Angeles history and the impact of water and power and transportation on arts-making is the subject of a seminar led by Dan Rosenfeld of Urban Partners.
The USC Annenberg Getty/Arts Journalism Program’s classes, tutorials, and panels are meant to fuel strong critical debate about arts coverage and to encourage questioning. What is the importance of arts coverage? What is the arts reporters responsibility, ethically, socially, politically? How can serious arts coverage be better understood?
The USC Annenberg Getty Arts Journalism Fellows are selected from an international pool of applicants. The Fellowship covers accommodations, travel and most meals during the three-week subsidized residency. They are required to live in a hotel selected by the program.

LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE
Artist-in-Residence Programme (Quebec)
an artist-run centre devoted to experimentation with installations and in situ practices in visual arts
Its artist-in-residence programme offers not only a working and living space for artists, but also a space in which to experiment with the creative process. In our view a residency is an occasion for an artist to question the nature of the artistic process itself with regard to its development and its reception. It is a laboratory where artists are invited to work within the space of the gallery itself or beyond its walls.
LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE is particularly interested in work that, in the manner of works in progress, use time as a medium. Submitted projects must integrate installation and in situ practices.
During the residency, the selected artist will be invited to create a unique and ephemeral piece, in the context of a true in vivo laboratory. The public will thus be invited to follow the creative process of each residency project.
The centre offers
* an in situ residency of six weeks
* lodging at LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE
* $ 1750 (CAN) artist fees
* technical assistance
* half of the transportation cost
* acces to a woodworking shop and a computer lab
* an essay in LA CHAMBRE BLANCHEs publication.
The proposal must include
* a written description of the project proposed
* a resume (C.V.)
* an artists statement
* a portfolio of the artists work (slides, CD-ROMs, videos, etc.)
* a SASE to return documents, if desired.
