In November 2009, up to five winning projects will receive MetLife
Innovative Space Awards (ISA) ranging from $10,000 to $50,000. Made
possible through a funding collaborative of the Ford Foundation and the
Metlife Foundation, the Awards will recognize and promote successful artist
spaces that exhibit innovation, affordability, sustainability and positive
community impact. Winning projects will demonstrate the role that
affordable artist spaces play in community revitalization, as well as
replicable and sustainable models for artist space development.

Please visit www.lincnet.net/artist-space to learn more about LINC’s new *Space
for Change: Building Community Through Innovative Art Spaces* program. There
you can read the ISA guidelines and submit an application. All entries are
due by August 24, 2009, no later than 5 P.M. (EDT). For more information
