January 16, 2007 is the deadline to apply for ArtsLink support for projects in Central Europe, Russia and Eurasia. This year, CEC ArtsLink will support U.S. artists, curators, presenters and arts organizations undertaking visual and media arts projects in those Eastern countries. Applicants must be working with an artist or organization in that region and projects should be designed to "benefit participants and audiences in both the U.S. and the host country." An example of a recent awardee is Roger Colombik of Wimberley, Tex., who got $3,700 to work in the Republic of Georgia collaborating with a group of young artists and curator Ketevan Kintsurashvili to develop a public art project utilizing large-scale banners mounted throughout Tbilisi. In 2008, awards will be made in dance, music, literature and theater. Guidelines are on the Web. [LINK]
