The Provost's Interdisciplinary Arts Fund: Call for Proposals for 2013-2014	Print Issue
,

The Interdisciplinary Arts Fund supports art and culture initiatives at Penn that are collaborative and directly engage students. It aims to advance the role of art and culture in student and academic life, as well as the development of interdisciplinary, cross-campus partnerships. Priority will be given to projects that aspire to engage a diverse range of students and bring together multiple groups, especially collaborations among art & culture organizations and academic departments or centers. Priority will also be given to projects that enable greater involvement of Penn students in the city of Philadelphia.

The Fund will ideally support new cross-disciplinary initiatives. It may also, in some cases, support projects that already exist or are being planned. It accepts proposals each spring term for projects that begin or take place in the following academic year. Programs for the current funding cycle must begin or take place in the 2013-2014 academic year.

Proposals should consist of a project narrative (no more than three pages) and detailed budget. The narrative section must include an explanation of how the project will engage students, bring together multiple partners and impact the Penn community. Projects may be funded in whole or in part; therefore, there are no maximum or minimum dollar amounts for proposals. Questions can be addressed to Brooke Sietinsons (sietinso@sas.upenn.edu).

Proposals are due no later than March 30, 2013; submit by email to Brooke Sietinsons, at sietinso@sas.upenn.edu
