Call for Submissions: Kirloskar Art Grant (India) - fundsforNGOs - Grants and Resources for Sustainability

Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Aging (PDA) and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts today announced that the call for art is now open for the second annual Older Artists of PA Showcase. Submissions from Pennsylvanians aged 60 and older are being accepted through May 24, 2026. The Older Artists of PA Showcase will feature selected works from across the Commonwealth, on display in the East Wing Rotunda of the Pennsylvania State Capitol during the month of August 2026. Up to 30 pieces will be selected by jurors from across the Commonwealth.

The latest on the student protests in France, the art world’s AI problem, one-on-one with Rosana Paulino, and Beer With a Painter featuring Melissa Brown. The subway car rattles, shakes, and screeches as it tunnels us from Brooklyn to Manhattan underneath the East River. I hold on tight to a pole, while my eyes are fixed on an ad for the Broadway musical Les Misérables. My social media feed shows me only looting and vandalism in France, painting a violent picture of the largely peaceful student protests. Panicking, the art world’s blue-chip class shuts down Art Basel Paris early and flees the city. The Louvre also closes to protect its treasures. Loot a little and they throw you in jail; loot a lot and they let you open a museum. I get to a benefit dinner for an art residency held in a former bank. A peppy auctioneer asks the who’s who to open their hearts and wallets. Paddles go up and down, and a donation ticker on a big screen climbs to astronomical numbers while I admire the building’s huge stained-glass skylight.
