BCENY are pleased to announce our second collaborative project for the creation of new works by Bulgarian artists, solely funded by the American Foundation for Bulgaria.
The Interdisciplinary Art Grant is designed by the Council for European Studies, the Bulgarian Concert Evenings in New York, and the Elizabeth Kostova Foundation. This collaborative event is aligned with CES’ upcoming theme for the 26th International Conference of Europeanists, “Sovereignties in Contention: Nations, Regions and Citizens in Europe.” The grant is intended to support collaborative, interdisciplinary work produced by emerging and established artists in Bulgaria, as well as Bulgarians in other countries. New work and work in progress is eligible.
One prize in the amount of $3000 will be awarded in May 2019. A multi-disciplinary selection committee, assembled from the founding organizations mentioned above, will choose the winners. The winning entry will receive a check for $3000 for creating and producing the work, along with public recognition in a special edition of EuropeNow and announcement in the European Studies Newsletter, as well as various social media sites. In addition, each of the awardees will receive one year of complimentary individual membership with the Council for European Studies (CES).
