Stamen + Gray Area Partnering on Creative Code Fellowship + Classes! Apply now for Summer 2014!


Today is an exciting one: we’re pleased to announce that Stamen is offering a summer Fellowship! AND we’re doing it in partnership with longtime friends at Gray Area Foundation for the Arts, along with Obscura Digital and Helios.

This is a real opportunity for someone to come and work with us and Gray Area for the summer. The project comes with a modest stipend and will give selected Fellow(s) the opportunity to hone your research and visualization skills with guidance from a world-class team.

The project focus, which we’ll decide on together, will focus on data visualization and civic engagement. It should address a contemporary issue (that’s not the Google Bus) within the city of San Francisco, involve data of some kind, and be visually represented within the Fellow’s technical capabilities. Ideally it will make visible something that was previously invisible or not well understood.

The deadline to apply is May 24, so submit your application soon.

Don’t have the coding chops yet for a fellowship but want to get started? Fret not, dear artist-to-be! Gray Area is offering a Creative Code Intensive this summer, designed to get you from 0–60 in 10 short weeks. Follow the links below to learn more. If you’ve got questions not covered on the Creative Code site, feel free to email beth [at] stamen [dot] com.

Best of luck with your application, and happy creative coding!
