I (heart) art.
Wow. The Osgood Dogood was incredible. Springboard's office is overrun with a massive pile of thank you notes for everyone who brought their magic to our night. You people LOVE art, don't you? We cannot thank you enough.
Speaking of hearts, we have a super fun grant opportunity and we need your help. The Heart and Soul Grant award is put together by the CTK Foundation in Austin, TX. It goes like this - an organization submits a poem about the importance of their mission, the winner is picked gets a cash grant and Los Lonely Boys make their poem into a (hit) song. Fun, right?
Do this:
1. Write a 4 - 8 line poem about Springboard's mission "cultivating a vibrant arts community by connecting artists with the skills, information and services they need to make a living and a life"
2. Send it to betsy(at)springboardforthearts.org by Friday, July 31.
3. Cross your fingers.
We'll choose our winner in early August and submit it for the national prize. Springboard's winning poet will receive a t-shirt and gift certificate for a workshop or consultation.
