Artists are invited to apply for a residency between Sep 2007 - Aug 2008. Twenty new artists are selected each year and each receives a $2000 stipend to help with residency expenses. The selection is made by the Sculpture Space Review Committee and a rotating guest panelist in December. Artists are notified in February of the panel's decision. Primary criteria are quality, originality, and potential for growth. The facility consists of 5,000 square feet of open studio space, and two 400 square foot private studios. The studio is located in downtown Utica. Subsidized shared apartment within walking distance of the studio is available at low cost to artists. (Housing is free for NYS and NJ artists.) Artists have daily, 24-hour studio access and are expected to stay for a full 2-month work stay. Artists are responsible for their own materials, specialized tools, and meals.

Write your own Truth Statement and win a $5,000 college scholarship! In Justina Chen Headley's debut young adult novel, Nothing but the Truth (and a few white lies), Patty Ho has never felt completely at home in her own half-Asian/half-white skin. As she puts it in her Truth Statement for her English class: TRUTH: I am Patricia Yi-Phen Ho. Patty to my friends; Patty-cake to the one aunt on my mother's side who speaks to us; and Pattypus to my enemy, Steve Kosanko, a short, stocky bully who's hated me since fourth grade.

And your own truths aren't necessarily the same as anyone else's truths. In 750 words or less, tell us about a truth you recently discovered about yourself.

This fellowship is made possible by Linden Lab®, the creators of Second Life®, to provide a young artist with a chance to be free for a semester or summer to explore the use of the digital world of Second Life as an artistic medium. In doing so, we hope that we will see Second Life used to even greater potential in the expressive arts to the benefit of both the Second Life culture and the broader world of art. The fellowship will be made available to an undergraduate or graduate student in the visual and performing arts (including music, film, video, new media arts, and architecture) who has shown through his or her work a commitment and talent in innovating using digital media. The fellowship is not intended to support study, but to allow a student the free time to fully explore the potential of Second Life as a creative medium. All projects must be completed within a semester and/or summer, make use of Second Life tools and capabilities, and be available for view or exhibit within Second Life.

What: Scholarships are designed to further international understanding, with Rotary Scholars acting as "ambassadors of goodwill" representing the U.S. in foreign countries. Students may apply for one of three scholarship types: * Academic Year Ambassadorial Scholarship - 1 year of study in any field in virtually any foreign country. This is the traditional length of study for UCI students. * Multi-Year Ambassadorial Scholarship - 1-3 years of study in any field in virtually any foreign country. * Cultural Ambassadorial Scholarship - 3-6 months of intensive language study in one of 11 languages (whenever possible, scholars reside with host families). Who is eligible: Undergraduates who will have completed two years of university work before starting the scholarship are eligible. Candidates may apply for any country in which there are Rotary Clubs. U.S. citizenship is not required; however, foreign students must be citizens of a country in which there are Rotary Clubs to be eligible. In 2006, non-eligible countries were: Bhutan, China, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Kiribati, Kuwait, Laos, Libya, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Myanmar, Nauru, North Korea, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Syria, Turkmenistan, Tuvalu, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and Yemen. U.S. students may not apply to travel to these countries, and citizens from these countries may not apply for the scholarship. Applicants may be from any field of study. Generally applicants must study in a country where they have not previously lived or studied, and must be proficient in that country's language. They may not be a Rotarian or a descendant or spouse of one. Selection Procedure: Candidates submit an application to the Rotary Club in their home town or to the local Newport/Irvine Rotary Club. Rotary International's website lists contacts for clubs in other areas. Application deadlines vary by club and are due between March and July, depending upon the wishes of the local club. The Newport/Irvine Rotary Club's deadline is May 1. Typically, the Newport/Irvine Rotary Club sends three candidates to the Orange County District level, selected from 15 or so qualified applicants. The District generally receives 30 nominations from all local clubs and selects 5-10 to receive the Scholarships. Interviews take place at the club and district levels. Not all scholarships are offered by all clubs. Winners will be announced in mid to late June.

THE FOUNTAINHEAD For 11th and 12th Graders Entry Deadline: April 25, 2006 FIRST PRIZE: $10,000 5 SECOND PRIZES: $2,000 10 THIRD PRIZES: $1,000 45 FINALISTS: $100 175 SEMIFINALISTS: $50 THE FOUNTAINHEAD--TOPICS Select ONE of the following three topics: 1. Explain the relationship between Peter Keating and Ellsworth Toohey. Does either character need the other? If so, in what way(s)? How does their relationship differ from that between Howard Roark and his friends. How do these issues relate to the theme of The Fountainhead? 2. For each of the following passages from The Fountainhead, explain its meaning in the story and its wider significance. a. Dominique Francon (about Ellsworth Toohey): "I admire him. He's so complete. You don't meet perfection often in this world one way or the other, do you? And he's just that. Sheer perfection in his own way. Everyone else is so unfinished, broken up into so many different pieces that don't fit together. But not Toohey. He's a monolith. Sometimes, when I feel bitter against the world, I find consolation in thinking that it's all right, that I'll be avenged, that the world will get what's coming to it-because there's Ellsworth Toohey." Peter Keating: "What do you want to be avenged for?" (Part I, Chapter 10) b. Howard Roark: "What tension? I feel completely natural only when I'm working." Austin Heller: "That's it. You're completely natural only when you're one inch from bursting into pieces. What in hell are you really made of, Howard? After all, it's only a building. It's not the combination of holy sacrament, Indian torture and sexual ecstasy that you seem to make of it." Howard Roark: "Isn't it?" (Part II, Chapter 6 c. Howard Roark (to the judge): "The defense rests." (Part II, Chapter 12) 3. Explain the similarities and differences between the characters of Dominique Francon, Steven Mallory and Gail Wynand. How does each's view of life and its possibilities differ from Howard Roark's? How does this issue relate to the theme of the novel? THE FOUNTAINHEAD--JUDGING Essays will be judged on both style and content. Judges will look for writing that is clear, articulate and logically organized. Winning essays must demonstrate an outstanding grasp of the philosophic and psychological meaning of The Fountainhead. THE FOUNTAINHEAD--RULES Entrant must be in the eleventh or twelfth grade. To avoid disqualification, a stapled cover sheet MUST include: your name and address; your e-mail address (if available); the name and address of your high school; topic selected (#1, 2 or 3 from list above); your current grade level and (optional) the name of the teacher who assigned the essay, if you are completing it for classroom credit. Essay must be no fewer than 800 and no more than 1,600 words in length, and must be typewritten and double-spaced. One entry per student, please. Essay must be solely the work of the entrant. Essay must be postmarked no later than April 25, 2006.
