SF Weekly Wants to Give You $2,500
Are you exceptional in the visual, performing, film/video/media, literary, or fashion arts? Yes? Well, then, SF Weekly is giving away $2,500 with their Masterminds program to someone like you. Why? Who knows, exactly. But that's a lot of money, kids. (Do you know how long it takes to amass that much cash by swiping and selling new releases at Aardvarks? About four and a half years, more or less.) Behold:
Masterminds™ is a program developed by the SF Weekly to celebrate local artists. Our goal is to honor cutting edge work being done right now in the Bay Area. Any artists demonstrating commitment and a pioneering spirit to their craft are potential Masterminds™. A grant committee selected by SF Weekly’s editorial staff will select the winners.
Their highly-skilled panel of experts will judge that stuff you call your art, coming up with nominees to be featured in a future issue of the print publication. Read more about it here, and best of luck.
Okay, SFBG, your move.

Wow! A whole two and a half thousand dollars? How generous! This should be utterly boycotted (yes utterly) until they realize that no one serious will get out of bed for that laughable handout. But hey, the hacks will lap this up, "Look it's a video installation piece of my cat licking a David Bowie poster. I'm an artist!" Calling all illustrators who think they're fine artists. God this town is a depressing cultural cul-de-sac sometimes.
