A site we recommend

The Center for Sustainable Practice in the Arts provides a network of resources to artists and arts organizations by gathering and distributing information from partnering information sources, and through the development of special initiatives designed to enable sustainable practices while maintaining artistic excellence.  The CSPA views sustainability in art-making through environmentalism, economic stability, and strengthened cultural infrastructure.

Information is readily available through the CSPA Knowledge Network: information distributed through daily web posts, monthly newsletters, a quarterly publication, a curated bookstore, and social networking.  Multiple CSPA Convergences allow artists, educators, students, and the general public to gather and respond to current critical issues at designated events.  The CSPA Institute and developing curriculum will provide open source learning to a rising generation of concerned artists.  And, through CSPA Supports, artists are able to receive limited financial support for putting their ideas into action.

The Center for Sustainable Practice in the Arts is an intentional for-profit organization.  We are exploring hybrid business models in an effort to break conventional non-profit  dependencies, to engage politically, and to re-invest funding into the arts.  We hope you’ll join us in our cause by becoming part of our expanding network.

Film production company seeking artist interns

In August 2008, Three Horizons Productions in association with Eureka Films produced a short film version of Out Of Focus in Phoenix, AZ. In July 2009, two additional scenes were shot in order to provide an ending to the short film instead of a cliff-hanger ending.

The current edit of the short film is approx. 30 minutes in length and highlights the main story layers of the feature film script. The short film is meant to be a “proof of concept” to the feature film project. It is also planned to edit a 20-minute version for festival purposes.

Three Horizons Productions is seeking two very talented and dedicated VFX artists – an After Effects Artist and a 3D Animator/Modeler – who are interested in building a very strong portfolio of professional VFX on this project. At the end of the project these artists will own very unique VFX that they can proudly market for their next job.

The two artists will work with a professional Cinematographer (the DP on the project) who is also an expert in Color Correction and After Effects. In essence, this person will act as a professional mentor for the two artists. The Art Director on the project will also work with them and will act as the Quality Assurance/Control expert on all the VFX.

Looking for job resources for after graduation?

If you’ve recently finished UW with an arts degree of some form, you’re probably working day in and out to find a cool job, or any job, in this tough economy. I recently came across this site, New York Foundation for the Arts, which houses all sorts of valuable information and thought that I would pass it on! If you are considering a move to the east coast, this is a handy resource site.
