The Aiko Fellowship Application has been e-mailed to all the B&P students. Please note that the due date is the same day as the deadline to submit works for the Moraine Valley College show - so plan in advance! If you didn't have the pleasure of visiting Aiko's before they closed you can see and buy a small sampling of the materials they used to sell at their website: http://www.aikosart.com/. You can also read about the history of this iconic store here
Details:
The Aiko Fellowship is an endowed fellowship that honors Aiko Nakane. She fostered and supported paper artists in Chicago for years and was the owner of the famous art store on North Clark Stree, Aiko’s. Each year, an outside juror is selected to award the fellowship, which is awarded purely on the quality of the application: how well the project is conceived and articulated. The Aiko Fellowship is a grant of $5000.00 and is available to Book and Paper graduate students completing their first year. It can be used for projects, as a travel grant, or even to support tuition.
Successful fellows in the past have participated in a range of activities: students have traveled to Egypt to make paper, to Ireland to photograph for an artists book, and attended Penland to make a collaborative artist’s book. Other projects have included an offset edition of a letterpress abecedarium, and one student attended workshops to learn traditional japanese screenmaking.
Application Requirements
Current resume
Project proposal up to two pages in length
Project budget
Digital images of current work (as many as you see fit)
Deadline
Friday, April 2 by 5.00pm
in the office of the Center for Book and Paper.
Fellowship will be announced in the first week of May.
