PROPOSE A SPRING STREET MURAL
The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) is looking to collaborate with local and regional artists for our Spring Street temporary mural location. Our community-driven mural-making process supports the Arts Council’s mission of building community through the arts, and is open to everyone.
Spring Street murals are generally on view for 3-4 months. A stipend of $500 is provided for selected artists and some materials are provided by the ACP. The mural space, which is mounted MDF attached to the wall of the building, measures 32×8 feet.
Please submit your interest below. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis; ACP staff will be in touch if your proposal is to move forward.

THE ADOLPH & ESTHER GOTTLIEB EMERGENCY GRANT
The Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Emergency Grant program is intended to provide interim financial assistance to qualified painters, printmakers, and sculptors whose needs are the result of an unforeseen, catastrophic incident, and who lack the resources to meet that situation. Each grant is given as one-time assistance for a specific emergency, examples of which are fire, flood, or emergency medical need.
To be eligible for this program, an artist must be able to demonstrate a minimum involvement of ten years in a mature phase of his or her work. Artists must work in the disciplines of painting, sculpture or printmaking. Each application will be reviewed by the Directors, who will exercise their discretion in considering it, and will determine the amount of each award. Applicants should note there is a set amount appropriated for these grants each fiscal year; once this budgetary limit has been reached, the Foundation will not be able to judge any additional requests on their merits.
NO DEADLINE.
MID ATLANTIC ARTS FOUNDATION FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS

Individual NJ-based artists must apply following the process outlined in the guidelines for New Jersey. At the annual deadline for these programs, a limited number of disciplines are accepted. All applications to these competitive programs are evaluated through a peer panel review process.
DEADLINE: Vary upon opportunity
