Members of the Nonsite Collective at our last open meeting agreed to pursue a revision and re-submission of our 2007 grant proposal for Southern Exposure gallery's Alternative Exposure grant fund. Any site users who would like to participate in the revision are encouraged to read the grant description by following the linked text above, and make changes/additions/excisions to the text of the grant proposal found on this new workbook page. We will call another in-person meeting on either Monday, June 2nd, or Monday, June 9th in order to review the editorial suggestions and arrive at a final text for the proposal. Revisions to the workbook page can be included in that review process as long as they are made by Sunday, June 1st. Please bear in mind that this text should be very brief, and should emphasize our work with visual artists and visual arts communities, but does not need to restrict itself to this work exclusively. Items for particular editorial attention include the descriptions of planned events, which were almost all prospective when last year's version of the proposal was written. Start: 7:00 pm
End: 9:32 pm
