Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation and William and Flora Hewlett Foundation Invite Applications for 2010 Composer Collaboration
The Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation have announced the 2010 Composer Collaboration Awards Program. Through the program, the foundations will provide up to six grants of $75,000 each for the creation and production of new music works by California composers working in collaboration with other artists.
These composer collaboration grants are part of a three-year initiative by the Gerbode and Hewlett foundations to support fresh, dynamic collaborations in contemporary music, dance, and theater. In 2008 and 2009, grants were made for choreographer and playwright collaborations, respectively.
Grants will be aimed at innovative and highly gifted California composers working in close collaboration with other California artists of their choosing (choreographer, composer, digital media artist, playwright, filmmaker, designer, or other). The resulting works will have their world premiere public performances in the Bay Area between December 2011 and December 2014.
Proposed commissions in any genre will be accepted. Applicant organizations must be nonprofit and based in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, Napa, Santa Clara, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Solano, or Sonoma counties.
Instructions and application forms for the 2010 Composer Collaboration Awards Program are available at the Gerbode Foundation Web site.
