Call for Writing Submissions For the next TH3 event, the Downtown Writer's Center is seeking poems, stories, and non-fiction works related to the theme of color, in celebration of their current gallery exhibit, Italian artist Maria Grazia Facchinetti's The Materials of Color. They invite you to see the exhibit at the Downtown YMCA, and submit a piece of writing in response to Facchinettis vibrant colorscapes. Guidelines: The Cultural Resources Council, a regional arts council, is pleased to be administering The Senator John A. DeFrancisco Young Artist Program. The Young Artist Program is dedicated to advancing the professional goals of aspiring talented young people by providing limited financial assistance. The program is ongoing with the first round application deadline on May 22. Eligible applicants are in Kindergarten through 12th grades who demonstrate a definite talent in the area of arts and culture. There are four areas through which aspiring artists and their parents may apply: Special Achievement Honorarium, Portfolio Development, Advanced/Ongoing Study, and Summer Intensives. Open call for artists for an exhibit at the Link Gallery, Syracuse University Warehouse, June 4-July 15.

CMM Seeks Performers for 2008-09 SeasonThe Program Committee of Civic Morning Musicals is pleased to begin receiving applications for its 118th season of Wednesday Lunch Hour Series Concerts at the Everson Museum. The quality of performance and the demand for recital spots continues to rise due to various factors: each date is professionally recorded, barring unforeseen circumstances; awareness of our CMM Series on the part of the musical public is rising; the continuing presence of our excellent Steinway pianos. Applications can be found at www.civicmorningmusicals.org. All of our correspondence will be online. Applications indicating no email address will be turned down. Deadline for receipt of applications is May 19. No deadline extensions will be granted. Lunch Hour recitals should be 35 to 45 minutes in length. Longer programs will be considered, for reasons such as presenting a complete cycle or work. Complete details will be sent to performers after the season calendar is completed. We particularly wish to encourage applications from highly talented and accomplished young people. Teachers are certainly aware of such students in their studios, and should encourage them to apply. It must be understood that a CD of recent work will be required of new applicants, and that they will undergo a screening process on the part of the CMM Program Committee. For more information, contact johnspradling@verizon.net.
