The paintings are significant in the subplot between the mill owner and a delinquent Latino youth. Images should represent the theme of 'Mill Ghosts' - see mill buildings themselves as characters in a story, what history or industry has happened there, what dichotomy of the rich and the poor they represent, how do old mills fit into the modern world? Show us your inner Millie! Some entries will be selected for a special exhibit at Gallery 181 in Lawrence from September 10 to October 11, 2007. The winner will be announced at a reception October 5th, 2007. Submissions accepted via email or CD. Entry fees are $35 for up to three entries.

The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts has announced a new three-year program of grants to nonprofit art publications and individual art critics. Called the Andy Warhol Arts Writing Initiative, its self-described aim is to 'promote critical discourse that is both rigorous and accessible, foster innovation in arts writing and nurture connections between art and the public.' The foundation has committed $3 million to the program, half to be given to art publications and half to art critics. The assistance to the publications will be designed to increase audiences, stabilize business practices and explore new forms of publishing. The grants to individual writers--expected to run between $3,000 and $50,000--will cover everything from essays and book projects to text-based experiments in new media. The art publications grants will be administered by the Warhol Foundation, while the critic grants will be handled by the Creative Capital Foundation, a New York-based nonprofit devoted to supporting artists. Application information for both areas is available on the Warhol Foundation Web site.

For well over a decade, The Wallace Foundation has invested in leading cultural groups across the country that are working to make the arts an active part of people's everyday lives. These theaters, museums, dance companies, community art schools and centers have in common a twin commitment to artistic excellence and service to people. Through their artistic programs, business practices and public efforts, these exemplary institutions are demonstrating that excellence need not mean exclusion, and that the wealth of the arts can be multiplied through the shared experience of participation. The successes and failures of these groups can, if well documented, provide valuable insights that other arts organizations, funders and supporters can put to practical use in improving the quality, access and health of the arts.
