ANTARCTIC ARTISTS AND WRITERS PROGRAM
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2004/nsf04558/nsf04558.htm
---
The Antarctic Artists and Writers Program is the component
of the U.S. Antarctic Program that provides opportunities for
scholars in the humanities (painting, photography, writing,
history, and other liberal arts) to be in Antarctica or on
the Southern Ocean--at research stations, camps, ships, and
wilderness areas--to make observations needed to complete
their proposed projects. The purpose of the program is to
enable serious writings in the arts that increase understanding
of the Antarctic and help document America's Antarctic heritage.
Deadline June 7, 2006. On average, 22 proposals are received
annually. In 2003 NSF received 33 proposals, the record.
Typically, up to six each year are found highly qualified and
result in a working trip to the Antarctic.
