Critical Fierceness Handbill // Deadline: July 1st 2009

>> The CRITICAL FIERCENESS GRANT’s next cycle has begun.

Since its founding in 2005, Chances Dances has sought to create a safe space for all gender expressions by bringing together the varied LGBTIQ communities of Chicago. The creation of the Critical Fierceness grant expands upon this goal by offering a unique opportunity for queer artistic expression. Individuals or groups who wish to utilize the Critical Fierceness Grant for artistic purposes and who identify themselves or their work as queer are encouraged to apply. Critical Fierceness supports queer artists with financial assistance of up to $500. Chances Dances is proud to provide the Critical Fierceness Grant as an opportunity for personal exploration, community development and radical change through art.

The application is available for download at chancesdances.org/projects. Deadline June 30. Email chances.dances[at]gmail[dot]com for more information.
