Helene Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 for Naomi Bragin at UW Bothell: that's the north satellite campus. I transferred at the campus bus exchange when I worked north of campus. Congratulations to all three! Link to comment

California Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Just one dance-related grant in the August 2019 cycle: $10,000 to the Chicago Film Archives: among other things, storage of an AV collection on modern dancer and choreographer Sybil Sherer https://www.neh.gov/sites/default/files/inline-files/NEH-Grant-Awards-August-2019-PDF.pdf Link to comment
sandik Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Just one, but a great choice -- Shearer was an astonishing and unique dance artist, and I'm thrilled to hear that her archive is being stabilized. Link to comment
