[Antenna]

Greetings!

My name is FreeQuency and I am the new comms admin assistant at Antenna.

I'm reaching out today to let yall know about two opportunities from Antenna, the Platforms Fund (up to 10K) & The Antenna Press Publishing Awards ($1,500 and publishing), that may be of interest to you or another creative in your community. Both are due on June 30th through Antenna's submittable - please consider applying or sharing with others who may benefit!

PLATFORMS FUND: Project grants of up to $10,000 and research grants of $1500 are awarded annually to New Orleans based individuals,collectives, and collaborative art groups in support of new and innovative artistic commissions that take place outside the museum or gallery walls, within the public realm, or in a non-traditional exhibition environment. Grants are awarded to projects that best exemplify an attention to the histories, communities, and ecologies of the region and their (trans)national implications, while reimagining visual artmaking for social change. Visit the website (www.platformsfund.org) for more information and join us for Application Support Sessions on June 17th & June 24th if you need space to cowork or feedback on your application!

ANTENNA PRESS PUBLISHING AWARD: Antenna Press accepts proposals for thoroughly developed book projects through the Antenna Press Publishing Award. We award five book project proposals every two years. Four awards are given to individuals or groups based in the state of Louisiana or the Gulf South region (Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and Texas). One award per year is given to a national applicant. We do not accept applications from international applicants at the moment. We are committed to publishing the voices of artists known and unknown, particularly those who interpret ideas through the lens of New Orleans or have connections to the City or the Gulf South region. Please visit the website or email pmpro...@antenna.works with any questions.

Thanks and good luck with your applications!
