OPPORTUNITY: Gibney's Call for Proposals: Moving Toward Justice Cohort -

In these challenging social and political times, an increasing number of artists want to use their work to activate social change.The Moving Toward Justice Cohort, a new initiative, is designed to support high potential projects that use art as a tool for activism and social impact. With a focus on entrepreneurship, social engagement, and mobilization alongside artistry, Cohort members will work in community to:

• Evolve their practice
• Develop, plan, and implement projects that address social issues or catalyze activism
• Address some of the most complex issues of today

The Cohort is a structured eight-month program for six New York City-based artists or collectives. Cohort members will each receive:

• A $6,000 stipend to develop and incubate their projects
• Direct support from Gina Gibney, a Project Administrator, and a designated Mentor
• Access to infrastructural support and resources at Gibney

Cohort members will be required to attend monthly group meetings and invest significant time outside of the focused sessions, engaging in active research, planning, and execution of their projects.
With generous lead support from the Bay & Paul Foundations, Moving Toward Justice aims to share resources and mobilize artists as activists through new and expanded programs at Gibney.
