Application Guidelines and Instructions
Selection Criteria:
Selection criteria include originality, significance,
innovative potential, interdisciplinary scope,
and cogency of project design. Of particular
interest are projects that do some of the following:
- Design, test, and implement innovative curricular
initiatives.
- Recognize critical thinking as the source and
opening of the art work and not merely the place
of a post-mortem evaluation, appreciation, or
interpretation of the completed work.
- Promote “action research” and “research-in-action” models
of collaborative interdisciplinary arts practice
capable of working transitively in and on real-world
settings outside conventional studio, gallery,
and performance contexts.
Eligibility:
Applicants must be UCSB faculty, staff or students
whose research and teaching interests include
visual art, digital media, music, dance, drama
or film and video, and who wish to bring an arts
practitioner to campus as a Visiting Artist for
a period ranging from one week to one month.
Projects generated by students, staff and part-time
faculty must have a full-time faculty sponsor.
Deadline for applications:
November 1, 2007

Support:
Allocations will generally fall in the $2,500 -
$7,500 range, depending on the length of stay
and the national reputation of the proposed Visiting
Artist. The IHC will also undertake the administrative
and clerical work needed to keep the projects
running smoothly. This includes: assistance contacting
visiting artists, negotiating contracts, organizing
travel and accommodation and publicity.

or group and a
