PPS: Call to Rhode Island Artists for "Sites and Stories Explored"
PPS is pleased to announce that we are the recipient of a grant from the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities for our upcoming "Sites and Stories Explored" project. As a part of this project, we are inviting artists to propose new works related to PPS's Most Endangered Properties of 2018.
The Most Endangered Properties program engages the public in thinking about the future of significant historic buildings, landscapes, structures, and neighborhoods. With "Sites and Stories," we aim to expand this engagement through the work of committed Rhode Island-based artists, involving the community in the re-building of narratives around the human beings who inhabited these important properties. Artists and artist teams will have the opportunity to engage with scholars, historic preservationists and communities, interpreting endangered sites, drawing out hidden histories, and provoking essential public conversations.
To read the full Call to Artists and Summary Narratives of selected Most Endangered Properties, please click here to access the Dropbox. Proposals are due by 11:59 PM on Friday, June 15, 2018. Open to Rhode Island artists only.
This project is made possible, in part, by a grant from the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities, an independent affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. The Rhode Island Council for the Humanities seeds, supports, and strengthens public history, cultural heritage, civic education, and community engagement by and for all Rhode Islanders.
Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendation expressed in this project do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
