We’re accepting applications for the 2011 CityArtist Projects program that supports Seattle-based individual artists working in the performing arts, including dance, music and theater. Funding awards range up to $10,000 to support projects in 2011.

CityArtist Projects is an annual funding program that provides support to individual Seattle artists to conceive, develop and present new, in-progress or remounted works taken to the next stage. Projects must include a public presentation in the city. The program encourages a broad range of artistic and cultural expression that reflects Seattle’s diversity. Funding is offered to artists in clusters of disciplines in the visual, media and literary arts and performing arts in alternate years.

Link to the online application here. The application deadline is Tuesday, July 20, 2010. For more information, contact Irene Gómez, (206) 684-7310.
