The Red Deer Arts Council has established an award for emerging artists to support and encourage promising artists, early in their careers, while also serving to raise the Arts profile by stimulating, developing and promoting the arts in Red Deer and Red Deer County. Artists of all genres are encouraged to apply.
The funds for this award are the result of the Legacy Fund created after the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Distinguished Arts Awards presentations held in June 2013 in Red Deer.
The Red Deer Emerging Artist Award will be awarded every year, beginning in 2014. The Award consists of $1,000.00, a banner for the artist’s personal promotion and a certificate.
The awards are not project grants, but are designed to support the unique development needs of emerging artists whether it is supplies further study or experiences, funding to travel for auditions, study or work, or even income replacement for non-arts related employment. Each applicant determines the investment need that would most advance his or her career.
Eligible artists are:
* a Canadian citizen
* a landed immigrant of two years or more
* lived and practiced art in Red Deer or Red Deer County for two years or more
* spent a significant and formative period of their artistic development in Alberta
* have the intent or desire to contribute to the artistic community of Red Deer in the future
* agree to participate in a Pecha Kucha (20 images, 20 seconds) presentation in the Fall of 2014.
For the purposes of this award, "Arts" includes:
The Performing Arts, including without limitation: the creators, composers, choreographers, interpreters, and performers in music, dance, theatre and opera;
The Visual Arts, including without limitation: painting, printmaking, sculpture, performance and installation of art, photography, new media and fine craft;
The Cinematic Arts, including without limitations: film and video drama, documentary and art/film video;
The Literary Arts, both English and French, including without limitation: fiction including novel, short story, blended genres, poetry and drama.
