Alliance for Watershed Education grants

The Alliance for Watershed Education of the Delaware River (AWE) was formed to create a region-wide constituency of advocates for improved water quality, clean waterways and the preservation of the health of the Delaware River and its tributaries. AWE seeks to commission interdisciplinary high quality original works of art for its network of 23 environmental centers. The art at each center will serve as a focal point to inspire people to explore, enjoy, and engage with the watershed while creating awareness and advocacy for the protection and restoration of the Delaware River Watershed. The outcome centers desire most is that the work highlights the connectivity of the watershed and the 23 centers involved... 

Budget: This application represents the first phase of the commission process with the Request for Qualifications and artist selection. Each finalist artist, or artist team, will be eligible to receive a stipend of $2,000 to develop a thoughtful, creative, environmentally appropriate concept plan and associated budget for the AWE. The intention of the concept plan is to provide a detailed tool for the AWE to seek funding for design development and phased construction implementation, including management of the program in its entirety. The anticipated range for the total project will be $700,000 - 1,000,000 to be determined on successful fundraising.
