Nueva Convocatoria Becas 2010 / 2011

During the last week of August, ProyectArte launched the search for its next class of scholarships recipients, targeting aspiring young artists ages 15 to 18. The program will grant eighteen scholarships to individuals to study with acclaimed Argentine artists for the period between March 2010 and July 2011. Until October, at our headquarters on Castillo 540, we will be accepting applications, including portfolios of those applying to the program. After receiving all the applications, the first-round of the selection process is based on the artistic merit of the submitted portfolios by a panel of artists including Jorge Perrin, Horacio D´Allessandro and Karina Peisajovich along with ProyectArte staff members. After this first stage, for a period of one month our team will evaluate the written applications and interview finalists, with the aim of evaluating commitment and socioeconomic factors. This two part process aims to produce a class of students that is artistically talented and driven across the board, while also ensuring socioeconomic diversity, a hallmark of ProyectArte’s vision. Official announcements of scholarship announcements will be made within the first week of December via telephone, with the names of the recipients additionally posted on ProyectArte’s web page. Classes for this new group will begin in the second half of March, which will commence with a social gathering with graduates, and students from the current class, as well as ProyectArte staff. Following, there will be an orientation and introductory classes, which will lead to the commencement of studio classes with the artists. The new group will mean that for half of the 2010 schoolyear, before the current class graduates in July, ProyectArte will increase the number of scholarship students at the school from 18 to 36. This is in addition to the 20+ graduate students who regularly participate in our graduate programs. The growth in our principal program is due to the generous support of Fundacion Tuyu, as well as individual donors to ProyectArte’s scholarship program. ProyectArte would also like to thank Fundacion La Nacion and Revista Magenta for their support in publicizing the search for the new class.
