Fun Friday: Granted

I know it is Sunday, but I just did not get this post up on Friday.  In this edition of Fun Friday, I’d like to spread the word about Voices of Youth - Art in Public.  This is an online grant competition challenging artists, organizations, and youth to define the next great public art in Pittsburgh.

Best yet - you the public get to participate.  Here is how it works:  Entrants have until May 20th to answer a few questions about their project.  Then the competition will narrow down to several finalists.  Finally, around the first week of June, the public will have the chance to vote for the finalists.  Two up to $25,000 grants are available for finalists and the public will choose the most worthy.  If you are not an artist, you can still participate by nominating someone for the grant and by discussing and commenting on entries.  All information is available at http://www.changemakers.net/en-us/artinpittsburgh

Cool art, cool video. Call to action? Maybe AMA Pittsburgh can have a contest driving traffic to this initiative. Just an idea, good luck.
