international organisations is inviting applications for funding for
projects taking place in England in 2001/2002 under the following
schemes:

Shooting Live Artists Deadline: 06/08/01

The Arts Council of England, BBC, Studio of the North and b.tv invite
Live Artists to submit applications for projects exploring the context
of converging media platforms. The work should move beyond
documentation, exploring the potential of new media as production and
post production tools in the creation of innovative content for
distribution across a variety of platforms, including single screen,
installation and online networks. We welcome proposals from individual
practitioners or production teams e.g. Live Artists working with digital
artists or media producers.
