5th Annual Woody Guthrie Fellowship
From time to time, news filters from the work world into this realm. This is too cool:
The opening of the 5th Annual Woody Guthrie Fellowship Program has been announced by Ralph N. Jackson, President of the BMI Foundation, Inc., and Nora Guthrie, Executive Director of the Woody Guthrie Archives and Foundation.
The program will award a limited number of research fellowships, with a value of up to $2,500 each, to fund travel and living expenses for scholars to use the rich and extensive holdings available at the Woody Guthrie Archives in New York.
Applications are invited from scholars who are pursuing research topics or themes related to Woody Guthrie that explore his creative work and contribution to American music and culture.
The postmark deadline for applications is January 2, 2010 for projects beginning in 2010.
Applications and information are available via the BMI Foundation, Inc. http://bmi.com/foundation/program/woody_guthrie_fellowship_program/
