Fellowship applicants must submit applications and examples of their work by August 29, 2011.

Miami Dade College (MDC), the new home of the CINTAS Fellows Collection, and the CINTAS Foundation are seeking artists, composers and creative writers to compete for a chance to win 10,000 USD and a 2011 CINTAS Fellowship Award in Visual Arts, Music Composition and Creative Writing.

There will be an exhibition at MDC's National Historic Landmark Freedom Tower in October highlighting the work of the CINTAS finalists in the three disciplines: music, visual arts and creative writing. Hortensia E. Sampedro, president of the CINTAS Foundation, will announce the winner of each fellowship who will be awarded 10,000 USD and the opportunity to pursue a project outlined in their applications.

The only one of its kind in the nation, the CINTAS Fellowship Program has honored more than 300 artists since it was established in 1963. Past grant recipients include composers Orlando García and Tania León; architect Andrés Martín Duany, writers Oscar Hijuelos, María Irene Fornes and Reinaldo Arenas; and visual artists Agustín Fernández, Félix González-Torres, Guillermo Calzadilla, Quisqueya Henríquez, Lydia Rubio, Gean Moreno, Glexis Novoa, Luís Gispert, María Martínez-Cañas, Carlos Alfonzo and Andrés Serrano.

The CINTAS Foundation awards fellowships annually to creative artists of Cuban lineage who reside outside of Cuba. The Foundation was established with funds from the estate of Oscar B. Cintas (1887–1957), former Cuban ambassador to the United States, a prominent industrialist and patron of the arts.

Competition details and all program requirements and application forms are posted on the CINTAS Foundation website at http://www.cintasfoundation.org.

General Information

The Ford Amphitheatre Summer Partnership Program, running from May
through October, supports Los Angeles County resident arts organizations
by assisting them to successfully present performances in its 1,200-seat
amphitheatre. It seeks to develop new audiences for the partner arts
organizations, John Anson Ford Theatres, and the larger Los Angeles
County performing arts community. The Arts Commission provides
significant presentation support (outlined below) to participating arts
organizations which, in turn, provide the residents of Los Angeles
County with a rich cultural sampling of performing arts of the region.

Under the Ford Amphitheatre Summer Partnership Program, the Arts
Commission is interested in receiving proposals for:

• Performing Arts Performances: These are typically two-hour (or
longer) evening events that are geared for adults or families with older
children. Work may be in any performing arts discipline.

• Film Events: As the Ford is equipped with 35mm projectors and a
full size movie screen, proposals for film screening events are also
sought and will receive full consideration.

Similar to a grant program, proposals for the Ford's Summer
Partnership program are considered on a competitive basis. Those
projects accepted receive significant presentation support and
assistance toward realization of the proposed project.

Application Workshops

Ford Theatre staff will host two workshops to review the application
process, discuss eligibility and requirements of applying arts
organizations, and answer questions about the partnership program and
producing at the Ford. Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend.
These workshops will be held at the Ford Theatre at 2580 Cahuenga Blvd.
East in Hollywood on the following dates and times:

Tuesday, July 27, 2010 at 7:00 p.m.
Tuesday, August 24, 2010 at 7:00 p.m

Parking for these workshops is free. If your organization plans to
attend a workshop, please RSVP with your name, organization, email
address and phone number to publicevents@arts.lacounty.gov

• Performing Arts Performances: These are typically two-hour (or
longer) evening events that are geared for adults or families with older
children. Work may be in any performing arts discipline.

• Film Events: As the Ford is equipped with 35mm projectors and a
full size movie screen, proposals for film screening events are also
sought and will receive full consideration.

Similar to a grant program, proposals for the Ford's Summer
Partnership program are considered on a competitive basis. Those
projects accepted receive significant presentation support and
assistance toward realization of the proposed project.

Application Workshops

Ford Theatre staff will host two workshops to review the application
process, discuss eligibility and requirements of applying arts
organizations, and answer questions about the partnership program and
producing at the Ford. Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend.
These workshops will be held at the Ford Theatre at 2580 Cahuenga Blvd.
East in Hollywood on the following dates and times:

Tuesday, July 27, 2010 at 7:00 p.m.
Tuesday, August 24, 2010 at 7:00 p.m

Parking for these workshops is free. If your organization plans to
attend a workshop, please RSVP with your name, organization, email
