PARTICIPATORY SPORT FOR CRAFT ARTISTS
Call for Furniture Fellowship: John D. Mineck fellowship
Call for Applications
$25,000 John D. Mineck
Furniture Fellowship
John D. Mineck was a past President of The Society of Arts and Crafts Board of Trustees and a beloved member of Boston's cultural community. The John D. Mineck Foundation was created in 2007 to award charitable and educational gifts that reflected Mineck's interests and values. His skills as a fine furniture maker were a result of passion, dedication and the guidance of a well-known furniture artist. Without that guidance, Mineck would not have realized his capabilities.
In an effort to support the art that Mineck loved and the people who make it, the Foundation created a fellowship to encourage and support a "young-in-career" furniture artist with the financial assistance to help them succeed in their journey. The fellowship has been designed to help support a talented furniture artist looking to fulfill an apprenticeship, develop their own skills, make the transition to independence and/or make a significant transition in their career.
The John D. Mineck Furniture Fellowship is administered by The Society of Arts and Crafts. Click here for selection guidelines, criteria & application instructions Completed applications are due no later than Monday, July 16, 2012.

SNAG Toronto part 3
I come from a very different background than most at the conference. I apprenticed with a self taught flutemaker. After 3 years, the only CV I left with was a flute I made that got me hired by a Boston company. I designed my own flute from experience and imagination. To this day my work has always been my only resume.At the SNAG conference almost everyone had a college degree in the arts. Whenever a speaker was introduced, their education highlights were listed along with the schools they were…See More

Brigitte Martin replied to John Lunn's discussion SNAG Toronto part 2 in the group Tapestry of Talents: Bringing Your Whole Voice to Your Craft"Gotta love the 2Roses for stating it clearly: "Most people have no knowledge or interest in "traditional skills" to begin with, unless your audience is entirely made up of people in craft.
