I hope this is appropriate to post here...
The deadline approaches for applications to be submitted for the
second annual Porkpie Scholar Grant.
So far, I'm sorry to say, we have NO applications. Surely some of you
know someone working on some kind of project related to Buster Keaton
who would be grateful for financial support. We've got money to give
away and no one to give it to!
Please pass this along...
Here's the basic info:
Deadline Set for
2009 Porkpie Scholar Grant Applications
CONTACT: Patricia Eliot Tobias, 310-547-2207/keatongrant at (no spam) gmail.com
The deadline for applications for the 2009 Porkpie Scholar grant is
Dec. 15, 2009. Author Eileen Whitfield received last year's grant, the
first to be awarded by the International Buster Keaton Society, Inc.,
a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Porkpie Scholar Grant
Programissues grants of $350 annually to one or two recipients
("PorkpieScholars") per year.
The Porkpie Scholar Grant Program was established in 2008 with a
substantial gift from a member of the International Buster Keaton
Society who wishes to remain anonymous. The organization matched that
gift to create the seed money for this grant program, which offers
grants to authors, artists, film preservationists, filmmakers,
composers and others who are contributing to the ongoing understanding
and appreciation of the life and work of comedian/filmmaker Buster
Keaton.
The International Buster Keaton Society, Inc. , was founded in 1992
with the purpose of fostering understanding and perpetuating
appreciation of the life, career and films of Buster Keaton. The group
advocates for historical accuracy about Keaton's life and work,
encourages dissemination of information and research about Keaton, and
endorses preservation and restoration of Keaton's films and
performances.
The grant is awarded on a reimbursement basis. Recipients must provide
receipts for costs associated with the grant project or activity, and
the International Buster Keaton Society will reimburse up to the limit
of the grant awarded. In rare cases, advances of grant funds may be
made if deemed necessary to the project.
2009 Deadline: Grant applications are due online Dec. 15, 2009.
Who Can Apply: Individuals or organizations.
Eligibility: Grant projects should relate in some shape or form to the
goals of the International Buster Keaton Society. Types of projects
may include (but are not restricted to): articles or books, film
restoration, musical scores, documentary films about Keaton, plays and
art exhibits.
Application Process: Applications and grant guidelines can be
