2006 Grant Categories
· Poetry
· Creative nonfiction A prose form that, while
dependent on observation of the actual world and often
on personal memory, also dependslike fictionon the
imaginative abilities of the writer. The genre
includes the personal essay, the memoir, the
meditative reflection, and other examples of writing
capable of transcending mere fact to provide aesthetic
pleasure and insight. Often confused with journalism,
creative nonfiction celebrates the integrative and
revelatory. Recent examples of the form can be found
in the prose of James Baldwin, Annie Dillard, Andre
Dubus, and Stephen Jay Gould.
· Works on Paper Includes printmaking, drawing,
painting, collage and other two dimensional media on
paper (excluding computer generated images.)

INVESTING IN CREATIVITY: Who We Are and What We
Do The Constance Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts
(CSF) is committed to serving the individual artist
(especially in the Finger Lakes region) through all
stages of the creative process -- from research,
development and creation through distributing and make
their work more accessible to the public. We serve NYS
artists and writers with grants, professional
development seminars, access to free studio space, and
summer fellowships that place them in residence at our
art colony. The general public benefits from cultural
programming with individual artists.
A diverse population of emerging, mid-career and
established NYS artists and writers have been in
residence here. The artists are given time, space and
support for their own creative research and risk
taking. As Edith Isaac Rose said, "The spacious,
comfortable live/work quarters are perfect. The size
of the group and our particular group formed a
community very quickly. All of us cherished having
continuous time to explore our work. When I think of
the Saltonstall I think of a place I came to and
didn't want to leave." Indeed, past Saltonstall
Fellows have said that our Colony provides one of the
best residency experiences in the country. Over 150
outstanding NYS artists, including photographers,
writers and visual artists have participated in our
summer fellowship program to date.
There are an estimated 300 artists' communities in the
U.S., and they are rapidly gaining recognition as the
largest network of direct support to independent
artists.
Some of our most enduring classics have been created
at artists' communities: Thornton Wilder's Our Town,
Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring, James Baldwin's
Notes to a Native Son, to name a few.
The Constance Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts is
committed to supporting the voices and visionaries of
our own time. Visit www.saltonstall.org to learn more
about our programs and how you can get involved.

The Virtual Grub Street main blog has recently been returned to Blogger's "Next Blog" button tour. Having found the comments enabled on the newest "American Life in Poetry" column, the following fellow bloggers took the opportunity of a little free advertising. I've left these ads in the comments section for several days and now transfer them to this mailbag column. They will otherwise be deleted. I will endeavor to remember to disable the comments on all future ALP columns.

There were two very pertinent comments, on the other hand, appended to the article "How to Remove ISearchTech.SideFind". In fine, Spybot S&D 1.4 would no longer seem to be able to remove the most recent version of ISearchTech adware/malware. I will research this problem over the coming days. The first update article should appear on the Virtual Grub Street Front Page journal/blog as early as today.
