Dear colleagues,

The newly established Compass Award was introduced at the ARLIS/NA business meeting at the annual conference in Mexico City. This award supports an internship which provides financial and professional support for new and early-career colleagues in the arts. The award is open to individuals who identify as racialized. The award supports the completion of a project as proposed by the applicant under the guidance of a mentor and includes a one-year membership in ARLIS/NA.

We are recruiting a chair and members to serve on the Compass Awards Subcommittee. The committee consists of no fewer than three members, the majority of whom self-identify as having lived experience reflecting the diversity of our communities (race, ethnicity, gender, etc.), and one member is preferably from ArLiSNAP. The committee will head the call for internship proposals (by Sept. 15), evaluate applications (after Nov. 1.), and select an awardee (by mid-December). The award recipient will be announced via the ARLIS/NA listserv and acknowledged at Convocation during the annual conference.
