<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>To the Faculty in the
Departments of Art, Art History, Creative Writing, Dance, Media & Cultural
Studies, Music, and Theatre, <br>
<br>
<b>This is a follow up from a May 14th email that announced solicitations for
applications to a C.A.R.L. Residency at UCR’s new Culver Center of the
Arts in downtown Riverside. Since that announcement, we have received a handful
of applications. In recognition of how busy schedules can become at the end of
the academic year, UCR ARTSblock staff and the Culver Center Faculty Advisory
Committee have opted to <u>extend the deadline for applications until next
Friday, June 18th</u>. An updated application with this new date is attached,
and can be downloaded from <a href="http://culvercenter.ucr.edu">http://culvercenter.ucr.edu</a>.<br>
</b><br>
Please make sure to forward to graduate students too.<br>
<br>
Please find attached a residency application for faculty and grad students from
the arts departments in CHASS. This application is for proposals that may
be funded for up to $5000 to be developed at UCR’s new Culver Center of
the Arts. It is our hope to select projects that will occur in FY2010-11. The
Culver will open to the public during a gala weekend, October 7-9, 2010.<br>
<br>
<b>This email has been sent to all of the full-time faculty listed on the
website of each the seven departments listed above, which will be given
priority consideration. Please forward it to adjunct faculty and to your
graduate students as soon possible, and post on your department’s website
and present at the next faculty meeting. Proposals for use of Culver beginning
in fall quarter, and beginning no earlier than October 7th, 2010, must be
postmarked or hand-delivered by June 18, 2010. Notification of acceptance will
be no later than June 30, 2010. Proposals can also be for winter and spring
quarters in 2011. The guidelines are downloadable from <a
href="http://culvercenter.ucr.edu">http://culvercenter.ucr.edu</a><br>
</b><br>
For those of you who may not be aware, UCR’s Culver Center of the Arts
has been under construction for the past couple of years in downtown Riverside.
It is housed in a renovated 19th-century department store building that sets
next to UCR’s California Museum of Photography. Together, they will be
the third largest arts organization in the UC system outside of Berkeley Art
Museum and Hammer Museum. Within the state, among all higher-educational
systems, it will be one of less than a handful situated in an off-campus
setting, which places it in the unique situation of being an important bridge
between campus and community, and underscores further UCR’s commitment to
the arts as a significant aspect to a research institution.<br>
<br>
Culver consists of three floors. The top, or second floor, is intended for the
development of new projects by faculty and graduate students, and is referred
to as the Culver Arts Research Lab, or C.A.R.L. The ground floor is for public
programming which includes a café, screening room, atrium gallery/performance
space, and UCR’s Sweeney Art Gallery, and is a place where projects
developed on the second floor can take place. The basement is an extension of
ARTSblock facilities, such as CMP’s permanent collection.<br>
<br>
The attached application is nine-pages. It contains a preamble in which we hope
that the intended use and spirit of the Culver is communicated, followed by
application guidelines, an example application for guidance, and floor plans of
the first and second floors.<br>
<br>
Many of you attended one of many open-house tours to each department this past
fall 2009. However, the building has since been completed and you are once
again invited to tour at any time. Just contact myself or ARTSblock executive
director, Jonathan Green, to make an appointment: <a
href="tyler.stallings@ucr.edu">tyler.stallings@ucr.edu</a>, <a
href="jonathan.green@ucr.edu">jonathan.green@ucr.edu</a>. In fact, we encourage
anyone serious about an application to take a tour first in order to best
understand the context for project development.<br>
<br>
You are also highly encouraged to contact your department representative that
sits on the Culver Faculty Advisory Board to answer questions too: <o:p></o:p></p>
