Gray Area's Open Call!

Gray Area Foundation for the Arts, in creative partnership with Stamen Design, has just announced an Open Call for their 2015 Creative Code Fellowship program. The 10-week fellowship, held every summer, is sponsored this year by Stamen Design, Britelite Immersive, Obscura Digital, and Presence PG.

As part of their mission “to apply art and technology to create positive social impact through education, civic engagement, and public programs,” Gray Area established their fellowship program to help foster and support the merging of digital technologies with art and experiential design.

2015 Creative Code Fellows will receive peer mentorship from Stamen and Gray Area, access to all of the concurrent Creative Code Immersive classes, a $3,000 unrestricted cash award, access to resources and technologies from participating studios, desk space during the fellowship and an opportunity to showcase their work at the end of the program.

In addition to their summer fellowship, Gray Area hosts the above-mentioned Creative Code Immersive: a 10-week program that teaches students how to code for creative purposes. Their Spring 2015 Immersive goes live tonight at the Historic Grand Theatre in San Francisco, but not to worry, the Creative Code Immersive is offered throughout the year on a quarterly basis.

In yet another effort to support the creative coding community, Gray Area will host the 2015 Winter Creative Code Immersive Showcase this Wednesday at their Grand Theatre location. The event will feature work from recent Immersive graduates including Vivien Park, Tonia Beglari, Charles Kwong, Dan Sulivan, Jeffrey K. Yoon, Harris David Harris, Shayle Matsuda, Azael Ferrer, and others. The event’s proceeds will help support Gray Area’s #ReviveTheGrand Initiative, making this an all-around great community event you won’t want to miss!
