Harpo Foundation 2012 GrantsNew Process and Deadline for 2012 Grant Cycle 2012 Grant Cycle Proposals Criteria Funding All projects funded during the 2012 funding cycle should be completed by September 2013. Projects that are scheduled in 2012 but happen prior to the foundation's November notification date may be eligible for funding on a retroactive basis. In rare cases the foundation will fund multiyear projects up to 3 years to provide support to artists whose projects rely on the passage of time as an essential component to its concept and structure. Of interest are durational approaches as they relate to changes in the physical environment, or as they inform an artist's process. Proposals must demonstrate that the complexity of an artist's project -its temporal and/or spatial dimensions - is time dependent. For example, a project that cannot be completed independent of a particular time frame because its very structure is based on seasonal shifts or a requirement to visit and document a certain place a number of times to collect information or research how a subject changes over time. The foundation is interested in supporting projects that will allow time and its properties of change to become a part of the project's cumulative process. Single year projects that have durational qualities will be considered under this special interest as well. Questions about the relevance of a project to this multi year funding should be addressed to the Director by emailing Julie Deamer at jdeamer@harpofoundation.org. Application Process and Deadlines Step One: Letter of Inquiry Letter of Inquiry Deadline:
Applicants must submit full proposals using the foundation's online application (available
