NEW FUNDING ANNOUNCEMENT
Arts & Humanities Initiative
The Project on Death in America
CYCLE III PROPOSALS DUE JULY 1, 1999
Today many scholars in the humanities, writers, fine
artists and performing artists are giving form through
language and image to the experiences surrounding death,
dying and bereavement in America. The Project on Death
in America (PDIA) wishes to encourage individuals from the
literary, visual, fine arts and performing arts to use
their creative skills and insights to identify and convey
meaning in facing illness, disability and death; and to
evoke and deepen our understanding of the diverse
metaphors that shape the experiences of suffering,
dying and bereavement. Three program areas will be
funded: 1) One-Year Fellowships in the Humanities;
2) One-Year Fellowships in the Arts; and 3) Two-Week
Interdisciplinary Institutes on the Culture of Death in
America.
