I think I just became an "Artist" (I want money from the NEA)

Hey..

What do I have to do to get money or a grant from the NEA?

I mean.. I have this revolutanary new idea..

I was going to put a cross in a jug of pee, but it's been done.

Then I was gonna do some crap splattered paintings.. but that's out now also.

So, I thought maybe I would just use some of that money to finance "Abortion Art"

You know, it's sometimes called a "Right To choose"

It's the dirty secret that no one wants to investigate. People ignore the carnage and pretend it doesn't exist.

So, what is involved here? I am sure OR will provide me with plenty of refrence material..

What must I do to recieve this Government Money?

I am (slightly) handicapped if it helps.

Alas, one has to buy into the moral-liberal mindset in order to make it in the art world. You have a great knack for watercolors? You are a genius at pushing that oil paint around on a canvas? Your images dazzle and provoke? But you're against abortion?? Too bad, we don't want your work in the gallery! You have to be pro-perversion, pro-promiscuity, pro-prostitution, pro-pornography, pro-homosexuality, pro-sodomy, pro-drugs, pro-abortion, and pro-self-destruction. Artists, dancers, actors, and journalists are allowed to have their own families, but they are expected to adhere to PC thinking in the moral-liberal-run industries: "Such evils are okay for others."

Serving Satan is usually the most effective way of getting government funding. }:-)~

You have a point I am afraid..

But it would be so much fun to collect the money and cause a rucus.

Can you imagine.. An aborted fetus as "art"

It would cause a knee jerk reaction in everyone to view it.. There is no way to deny what it is and what it means.

You have to either have REAL talent, or go with the PC mindset. Otherwise, there is no hope. And even REAL talent doesn't count anymore, thanks to the investment mania of the 90's!

Your impressively extensive knowledge of excrement art will surely result in a huge government grant.

Well, considering what's happened in the last decade, I think the "real talent" argument falls by the wayside.

Honestly. What's involved with a grant from the NEA.

Anyone?

I am flattered.. Thanks..

Surely they have a website. I would imagine it's all in how you write your proposal. Drone on, in an enlightened hard-left manner, for a few pages about your planned use of shock imagery to to expose the hypocrisy of the patriarchal "anti-choice" movement, throw in some good bits about "use of archetypal fetal form" and the negative influence of religion on personal freedom, list all your projected expenses (the more the better, I imagine), and you'll probably be good to go.
