The Carpenter Performing Arts Center's (CPAC) project plan about the history of censorship in Southern California has advanced to the semi-finals of the 2010 Creative Campus Innovations Grant Program and been given $7,000 to continue its work.
The project plan, titled "Banned, Blacklisted and Boycotted" advanced with 30 other groups, out of 150 original participants, that are seeking to become one of 10 groups that will receive a one-to-two year grant ranging from $100,000 to $200,000. According to the CSULB website, the grants are awarded to projects that go beyond conventional practice and perspectives on collaboration and learning. Beginning in 2006, grants have been given out by the Association of Performing Arts Presenters and funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
This grant will help promote ideas by students at Long Beach State to create new collaborations that will explore diverse and unconventional topics. “One of our goals at the Carpenter Center is to provide more avenues for performing artists to participate with and integrate into the academic departments of Cal State Long Beach and our larger Long Beach community,” said Michele Roberge, CPAC’s executive director.
The 10 winning projects will be announced in August 2010.
