Call for Artists Akron Cultural Plan Designing Local seeks visual artists to create work that represents the Akron community this summer.

For the first time in its history, Akron is engaging in a city-wide cultural planning process to advance arts and culture in the community. This process will be exceptionally collaborative, will evaluate existing resources, and examine the needs and desires of residents from across Akron’s 24 neighborhoods. The Akron Cultural Plan will promote an equitable, world-class cultural environment that strengthens the City, advances cultural diversity, increases opportunities to create culture, and provides vibrant experiences for all residents and visitors.

Designing Local seeks three visual artists to create pieces that represent our community this summer. What is Designing Local looking from Artists? Designing Local seeks three visual artists to participate in 3-4 Cultural Planning meetings, each lasting two hours. At these meetings, artists will interact with community members who attend and ask them to leave a visual representation on a canvas. Artists will have the ability to determine how to engage the community in this way. Selected artists will bring the canvas to each public meeting they are assigned to and will complete this task at each meeting, building upon the meeting that came before. Once the 3-4 assigned meetings are complete, selected artists will complete the piece using the participation of attendees as the inspiration and main content of each piece. The last meetings will take place the week of July 15 and selected artists are expected to complete their pieces by Friday, August 16, 2019 for a public reveal. Will any material be provided to selected artists? Selected artists will be provided with the canvas. Artists are expected to use their own supplies. How much will I be paid for creating this community piece for the Cultural Plan?

Auditions for Stephen Sondheim's Assassins

Auditions ; Call for Artists ; Volunteer

Posted: Mar 24, 2019

Western Reserve Playhouse auditions for “Assassins” By Stephen Sondheim and Book by John Weidman Directed by Dawn Sniadak-Yamokoski – Musical Direction by Bryan Bird and Dave Stebbins Synopsis: A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force, Assassin’s combines Sondheim’s signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music with a panoramic story of our nation’s culture of celebrity and the violent means some will use to obtain it, embodied by America’s four successful and five would-be presidential assassins. Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written. Assassins lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical “revusical” that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, writers, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman, bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.

Posted: Sep 03, 2018

To embody our commitment to developing new work by local voices, Stow Players is launching The Emerging Playwright Reading Series (EPRS). EPRS is a new play development program, minimally staged with actors carrying scripts, allowing the audience to assist the playwright in fulfilling the play’s full potential. The Emerging Playwright Reading Series will take place on various evenings throughout Stow Players’ season as schedules allow. The playwright, director and actors will have access to the theater the day prior to the audience presentation to ensure all technical needs can be met. Unless otherwise noted, all performances begin at 8:00 pm and take place at: Stow Players 5238 Young Rd Stow, Ohio 44224 SUBMISSION ELIGIBILITY EPRS is open to playwrights who currently live within 3 hours of Stow, Ohio and are willing to travel to Stow Players for the Staged Reading. Submissions can be less than full length (~90 minutes). However, if submissions are not full length, they may be combined with other shorter scripts for one evening of staged reading and talk back. This can result in an undetermined delay in the Staged Reading taking place. Submissions must not have received a full production. Submissions that have received full productions, even if they have undergone significant post-production revisions, will not be considered. TO SUBMIT Send an email to StowPlayers@gmail.com with the following information: NAME: EMAIL: PHONE: ADDRESS: BIO: (250 words of less, please. Try to dazzle us) PLAY TITLE: # OF CHARACTERS: (6 or under) SYNOPSIS: (In 250 words or less, tell us about your script) Attach script(s) as a .pdf (how to create). We believe in a blind selection process so only include the title and page numbers on the script itself. No identifying information, please. FAQs How many scripts will be chosen? A. That depends on how many scripts are submitted and when the performance space can be made available. When can I expect to be notificed if my script is chosen? A. Scripts will be read by at least two different people then passed along to our Production Committee for scheduling. We know what it’s like to be kept waiting, so we’ll do our best to shorten our process. When will my Reading take place? A. Stow Players’ season is from the end of October through the end of March. All staged readings will take place during that time. Where about Actors and a Director? A. If you have a Director and/or Actors in mind, please provide that information when submitting your script. If not, Stow Players will provide them for you. If you choose the latter approach, these choices will be at our discretion and you, the playwright, will have no veto power.

The Awesome Foundation for the Arts and Sciences is a worldwide network of people devoted to forwarding the interest of “awesomeness in the universe.” Established in 2009, the foundation distributes $1,000 grants on a monthly basis to projects and their creators. The money is pooled from ten or more self-organizing “micro-trustees.” The chapters are autonomous and organized by the trustees around geographic areas or topics of interest. Awesome projects have ranged from public artwork to mobile applications to scientific experiments. Projects are not strictly defined but tend to challenge and expand our understanding of our individual and collective potential, bringing communities together and casting aside social inhibitions/boundaries for a moment. Grants are provided with no strings attached, and the foundation claims no ownership over the projects it supports. Chapters are divided by geography, and more recently by topic of interest. While specifying a chapter to apply to is not necessary (all chapters can view the applications received by all other chapters), many chapters show a preference for local projects. The Awesome Foundation application process is open to all people and organizations.

CALL FOR ARTISTS DEADLINE: January 24, 2019, with subsequent submission dates every 12 weeks thereafter. Western Reserve Hospital, located in Cuyahoga Falls, is interested in enhancing the environment of the infusion rooms in their oncology department and are seeking inspiring art from local artists who may be currently battling an illness or a survivor. The goal of this project is to share art among the affected community as a resource, inspiration, and celebration of survivorship.

As a survivor or patient, artists will be able to share their story and inspiration to those currently receiving treatment at Western Reserve Hospital. Artwork will be on a 12-week rotation in the oncology rooms with the public access community gallery area highlighting and identifying the works of the artists that are on display in the infusion rooms. Art may be for sale, and the artist will receive the full payment for their sales. Artists may be contacted directly for the sale of their art.
