We want to let you know about a new source of arts funding for performers and creators working in San Diego county: the Sator Arts Foundation.

satorartsfoundation.org/

Applications for major (up to $3000) and minor (up to $1000) grants will be available on January 18, 2008, for awards to be announced on May 17, 2008. In preparation for our inaugural funding cycle next year, the SAF is contacting groups at both the local and state levels, hoping to raise awareness of the new opportunities we provide. Please forward this announcement to any artists and performers you know who need funding, or to anyone else you think may wish to know about our programs.

"Sator" is the Latin word for "Sower," a person who scatters seeds. We chose this name because we hope to spread funding for artistic projects in the formative stages of production, especially those that have not yet received major grants from other sources. In particular, the Sator Arts Foundation dedicates its funding seeds or grants to the production of specific projects, in any creative medium, that interrogate the distance between "artists" or "performers" on the one hand, and "audience" or "consumers" on the other. We fund work in any modality that fosters interactivity, prompts people to play together, and enlivens community bonds through creative exchange. In so doing, the SAF seeks to foster the emergence of an inclusive local arts culture, in which the artworks themselves intrinsically authorize the community to interpret, to participate, and to engage with the creative impulse. Individuals, collaborators, and collectives are eligible to apply.

To find out more about our organization, or to download an application next January, please visit our website at satorartsfoundation.org/

In closing, we hope that you will find our programs of benefit to the community. Please help us by circulating this information, and this email, as widely as possible.
