Opportunities

Who wants a grant to make art for a year? If this sounds at all appealing to you, why not take a survey? Blade of Grass is a new family foundation providing grants, loans investments and other resources, but they need to establish the financial need of their demographic.

Jennifer Catron and Paul Outlaw’s food-performance “Feast for an Apocolypse”, Imeday Imeday Ollarday Icklenay, has sold out every performance so far.

Simpson not-memoir If I Did It – gave Stranger clear instructions: “Someone like Bruce Vilanch“. Stranger’s choice for a man like Vilanch – an overweight, exuberantly gay comedian – was “John”, a chronic joketeller who looks like Fred Durst. Google Images’s choice was the Muppet Sweetums. Regan and John visited the Museum of Sex on their first date.

He’s no catch, and like all the other candidates tabled by Stranger, none of them shared her BACKGROUND IN ART. Regan has a English and Art History from Vassar College and attended The School of The Museum of Fine Art in Boston.

AFC can do better than Millionaire Matchmaker, and we’re going to prove it. Together with Tomorrow Museum‘s Joanne McNeil I decided to table a few artists as dating possibilities for Regan. Not all of them are single, but we’ll work on that. Give us your vote for best match, and AFC will do everything we can to make this date a reality!
