2011 Cheteyan Scholarship

Deadline:

Received by February 15, 2011

About the Scholarship:

Businesswoman and Society for Contemporary Craft past board member and president, Judy Cheteyan has been an invaluable asset to the arts community in Pittsburgh. Both Judy and her husband, Michael, believe that the arts and education make for a stronger community; therefore, affordable exposure to these is crucial for all citizens. Ms. Cheteyan is a strong proponent and supporter of the SCC outreach programs: "It’s really a way to make the connections with young people — to bring out their talent and allow them to develop their creativity."

To foster growth in the arts arena, the couple has developed The Judy Cheteyan Scholarship Fund, an annual summer scholarship which will be offered under the auspices of the Society for Contemporary Craft. The scholarship will provide an undergradute or graduate student with the opportunity to gain professional experience within a nationally and internationally known contemporary craft organization.

Puppet Uprising 11th Annual Year-End Cabaret, December 3rd and 4th at the Rotunda.

The Missoula Oblongata in

CLAMLUMP

plus short performances by

Beth Nixon, No Face

and the Great Quentini

Friday Dec 3rd • The Rotunda

4014 Walnut Street in Philadelphia

Cheap Art at 7:30 • Shows at 8:00

Free Admission • Donations Awesome

Night #1 of Puppet Uprising's 11th Annual Year-End Cabaret takes us deep into the hollows of a boarded-up stadium where a barkeep sets his blender to pulse, a traveling salesman hawks his popcorn, and a bird with glorious plumage gores one or two people a year. Meanwhile an unusual young person plots to disappear underground. CLAMLUMP, the Missoula Oblongata's newest touring production, promises the awe of misunderstanding, the privacy of laughter, and a sky dark with feathers.

Appearing alongside the Oblongatans are newly formed Philly performance collective No Face (Pig Iron-affiliates Rosie Langabeer, Mark McCloughan, Spencer Sheridan, and Gedney Barclay) with, "The Beautiful Refrigerator is Empty and other Domestic Dramas," a multimedia thrill chock full of mixed metaphor, all-encompassing dread, and a creeping sense of intrepid absurdity. Even more mysterious performances shall manifest courtesy of The Great Quentini and Puppet Uprising host Beth Nixon.

Hide your kids and get ready for...

The Sent(a)Mental Project

Beware Night #2 of the 11th Annual Year-End Cabaret, in which Puppet Uprising gets murdered onstage only to be exhumed as The Blood & Puppets Macabaret! In this cabinet of grotesque curiosities, you shall witness the darkest arts conjured and regurgitated through original music, spoken word, dance and puppet theater. Hosted by a Gruesome Spectrum of Shady Characters (Beth Blum, Kestrel Plump, Harper Evan Nelson and Geppetta), this evening is not really recommended for the faint at heart. You might also want to leave your dead horse at home, lest he be flogged.

The Blood & Puppets Macaberet is a benefit for the Sent(a)Mental Project, a collection of works created by artists affected by LGBTQ suicides. Click here to find out more.
