seARTS 2014 Partner With an Artist Program
seARTS 2014 Partner With an Artist Program:
Call to Artists and Application Guidelines
seARTS invites artists to apply for Partner With an Artist Grants
Partner With an Artist (PWA), seARTS signature artist grant program, provides grants to artists to create new work — in any medium: visual, performing, multimedia art — in partnership with local businesses. PWA’s focus is to celebrate the arts, strengthen partnerships with the business community, and to promote a vibrant and culturally rich economy on Cape Ann.
The 2014 PWA program will connect with three of Cape Ann’s Cultural Districts: Essex River, Harbortown and Rocky Neck. Jurors will award three $1,500 grants, totaling $4,500, to artists who collaborate with a business in a Cape Ann Cultural District. One artist or project in each of three Cultural Districts will receive a grant. Each completed project will be presented in its Cultural District for the public to experience and enjoy.
Partnership with a business: This is an opportunity for artists and businesses to explore a creative relationship. We seek to fund innovative projects where artists and businesses work together to explore new opportunities only made possible by collaborating. A business might provide goods, services, or space for a project.
Creating opportunities for artists: PWA supports artists and encourages creative new work that connects to the local community and that will attract residents and visitors to explore and enjoy the Cultural District.
Grants: One $1,500 grant will be awarded to one artist in partnership with a business located in each of these three Cultural Districts: Rocky Neck, Harbortown and Essex Cultural Districts.
Please note: Projects in the Rockport Cultural District are not eligible. A grant was awarded in the Rockport Cultural District in 2012.
Phase One:
April – June 2014
Grant applications will be solicited by seARTS for artists collaborating with a business in each of these three Cultural Districts:
Gloucester’s Rocky Neck Cultural District
Gloucester’s Harbortown Cultural District

The Paper House In Rockport Is An Interesting Joint
Went This Weekend With The Kids, Check It Out Some Time, Everything’s Made Of Paper
from the website-
About The Paper House
The Paper House is an actual house made from paper.
Newspaper.
It was built by Mr. Elis F. Stenman, a mechanical engineer who designed the machines that make paper clips, began building his Rockport summer home out of paper as a hobby. That was in 1922.The paper was meant to be good insulation. Eventually, not only was the house made of paper, but furniture as well, including some intricate and beautiful pieces.
For more about the background, read the interview with his grand niece. For an interesting look at what you’ll see, let’s step inside.
