We are happy to announce that the 12th edition of the Dancing on the Edge Scholarship Program will take place again in Amsterdam. With the scholarships we offer young talent from West Asia (a.k.a. Middle East) and North Africa (WANA) the opportunity to attend HJS’ Amsterdam Summer Intensive, a three-week dance workshop program in July. We have been offering these scholarships since 2012, in collaboration with Henny Jurriëns Studio (HJS), a dance-training institute for professional level dancers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. 

During three weeks, the dancers will take dance classes (ballet, contemporary, countertechnique, and more) and participate in different workshops (repertoire, creation). The program is an ideal opportunity for dancers to study in an international atmosphere together with other professionally oriented dancers.

For two participants, the DOTE Scholarship Program covers travel and visa expenses, accommodation, program fees. There is no per diem: participants are expected to pay for their own living and other expenses. They should also pay their own travel/health insurance. 

The Amsterdam Summer Intensive takes place from 10th till 28th of July.

The Public Art Master Plan for Reston, adopted in December 2008, identifies the underpasses that carry Reston's path system under major roadways as locations for new artwork commissions. By partnering artists with Reston's elementary schools and community organizations these projects seek to create permanent enhancements in public spaces throughout Reston.

One of Reston's most beloved artworks, North Shore Drive Underpass, was integrated into the original development of the Lake Anne Village Center in the early-1960s. In 2009, Public Art Reston commissioned its first permanent public artwork at the Glade Drive underpass, Emerge by Valerie Theberge. The mosaic mural includes elements created by Hunters Woods Elementary School students during artist-led workshops. In 2019, Ben Volta was selected for the Colts Neck Road Underpass Project.  Thoreau's Ensemble incorporates 700+ drawings made in workshops with elementary school students and seniors. It was a Top 100 finalist in the 2019 Codaworx Awards.

Reston's remaining 22 underpasses, however, have not benefited from such careful design or the integration of artworks. Public Art Reston will support the creation of new permanent artworks in and around the remaining underpasses. The organization will continue to facilitate projects that couple artworks by professional artists with artworks by local students and community members.

The community that lives in the neighborhood around Lake Anne Village Center is very diverse, both economically and culturally. Currently, many residents avoid the underpass due to problems with safety and the walls of the underpass are regularly subject to tagging and graffiti. The process and the outcome envisioned for this project are to give a sense of ownership and safety to the community and to the current and future users of the underpass.   

Proposals will be evaluated based on aesthetic quality, sensitivity to community, responsiveness to functionality, feasibility, and compatibility with the existing underpass design. Ease of upkeep and long-term maintenance will also be a consideration.  The artist selected will have to engage students through workshops that will either lead to direct involvement in the creation of the artwork or that will be aligned with the artist’s medium.

The exterior concrete walls that frame the Fairway Drive underpass extend up to 19 feet and rise to a height of 10 feet. The underpass is approximately 58 feet long.  

 This amount includes all fees and expenses associated with this project, including materials, equipment, labor, permits, engineering documents, insurance, taxes, travel, installation, shipping, maintenance instructions’ document, and written documentation of the completed project.

Edgar S. McFadden (1891–1956) was a remarkable scientist who made breakthroughs in wheat genetics in South Dakota and Texas. He was born to Mr. and Mrs. James E. McFadden in a shanty during a blizzard in the Coteau Hills near Webster, South Dakota on February 3, 1891. His cradle was a grain bin filled with seed wheat; a fitting bed for an individual who would later feed the world with his insight and tenacity as a radical wheat breeder and contributor to the Green Revolution that fed the world during a time of crisis. His life story is a saga of mankind’s battle for food.

Notes	
The City of Henderson is calling on artists to design and create one unique mural for the Black Mountain Recreation Center’s gym entrance.
 
The area is approximately 38’ wide and 12’ 8” tall (total +/- 325 square feet) it is roughly 14’-15’ off the ground to the bottom of the area.
 
The mural must encapsulate the Black Mountain ranges, a series of rugged, arid, volcanic mountains. It must embody the terrain, range, and wilderness, showcasing the landscape and the characteristics that make up what the Black Mountains are. These mountains, which are part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, provide a stunning and calming contrast to Las Vegas’s flashing lights and opulent hotels. The Black Mountains provide a haven for city dwellers to explore and gain unique and life-changing experiences.
