Ocean Awareness contest for high school students
The Ocean Awareness Student Contest, founded and funded by an artist, started in 2011 and has grown submissions by 50% annually and this year we had participation from 15 states. Our contest challenges high school students to examine a timely environmental issue impacting the ocean through art (or essay or advocacy for those who find their strengths in writing or inspiring others to action). Our goal is to inspire ocean stewardship and encourage cross collaboration, creativity and problem solving in the next generation by supporting teachers who incorporate the contest into their classrooms. We also award generous awards ($1500 for first place) to students and their sponsoring art department or teacher. In the 2014 contest, which begins in September, we will be exploring Plastics Pollution in the Ocean. Read more...
Creative Intersections: Arts, Science & Technology
APAP Panel
Association for Performing Arts Presenters Annual Conference Panel, New York Hilton, Midtown, NYC. 9:30-10:30, January 11th, 2014
We have come a long way in terms of WHERE the arts exist, belong, take place, thrive and survive. A great deal of creative interest and energy is emerging at the intersection of art, science and technology. The work can be playful, or it can be driven by a great sense of mission and purpose. This session will feature a wide range of artists working in an even wider spectrum of spaces and will investigate what drives their work, who it attracts, and how they are connecting with people's needs, interests and imagination in impactful new ways. Panelists include:
Joel Slayton (Zero1 Biennial)
Kamal Sinclair (Sundance Festival/New Frontiers)
Gunalan Nadarajan (University of Michigan, School of Art & Design)
Alicia Gibb (Research and Development Lab Director, BugLabs, New York)
Bill O'Brien and Michael Orlove (NEA)
Bios and additional info can be found in the Saturday, 9:30 AM session description here.
