DESCRIPTION

The Third Annual En Foco Media Arts Fund: Work in Progress (WIP) Initiative: $2,000 Support Grant, in collaboration with BronxNet is designed to support New York City based, early career artists of color who engage with Digital Media technologies within their art-making processes. The award will focus solely on works that need support toward the completion of a current work in progress, which demonstrates the highest quality of work and potential as determined by a panel of peers, and industry professionals. All innovative interpretations of Digital Media will be considered, requiring a critical digital aspect in both the process and product. Proposed projects where the final products are photographic in nature are ineligible for funding.

For this opportunity, early-career artists are defined by a 2-9 year artistic working history. Artists who have also applied for the 2023 Photography Fellowship are only eligible to receive one award.

ELIGIBILITY

Only Works In Progress submissions will be considered for the award. Completed projects are ineligible. Entries that are traditional Photography and that the final product results in still imagery will not be considered. However, projects with other mediums and media that include photo-based processes will be considered.

Entries may include but are not limited to:

Film (Narrative, Non-linear, Genre Specific, etc.)
Video (Animation, Documentary, Experimental, Contemporary Approaches to the moving image, etc.)
Interactive/Non-Interactive Installation (Digital Painting, Digital Sculpture, site-specific Installation Works, etc.)
Multi or Mixed Media (Works using one or more medium, or processes)
Experimental and Immersive Processes (Augmented or Virtual Reality technology, Immersive sound, Biomechanical processes, Alternative Processes, Earth Art, etc.)
Sound Art
Other (Any works using digital processes that do not rely solely on photography)
