*SOUTHERN EXPOSURE AWARDS $65,000 TO 16 BAY AREA VISUAL ARTS GROUPS IN
ROUND 6 OF ALTERNATIVE EXPOSURE GRANT PROGRAM*


Southern Exposure is proud to announce grants totaling $65,000 to 16 groups
in Round 6 of its Alternative Exposure grant program. Alternative Exposure
recognizes and supports the independent and self-organized work of artists
and small groups that plays a critical and significant role in the San
Francisco Bay Area arts community. Alternative Exposure is made possible in
partnership and with major leadership support from The Andy Warhol
Foundation for the Visual Arts. Additional support by Grants for the
Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund.

In Round 6 of the program, 146 groups applied and 16 recipients were
selected to receive grants of up to $5,000 each. This year's grant
recipients are *Art Poem Performance Discourse, Canyon Cinemazine, Colpa
Press- Edicola, Et Al., Hacking for Artists, In the Make, The Lecturers,
Mission Mini Comix, n/a, Oakland Nights…Live!, Other Cinema, Real Time and
Space, San Quentin Prison Report, S.H.E.D. Projects, Sunday Soup, and Will
Brown*. Full descriptions of the funded projects are listed below.

Since launching the program in 2007, Southern Exposure has awarded $351,000
in direct funds to 104 Bay Area projects. Alternative Exposure was created
to serve as a catalyst towards sustaining a vital artist community. This
significant investment of support stimulates increased activity and growth,
promotes the important and critical work of these ambitious projects, and
publically recognizes the important role they play in the existence of a
vibrant culture in the Bay Area.

An outside panel selected the 2012 grantees. Panelists included Joyce
Grimm, a curator, consultant and educator, as well as the Co-
Director/Curator and Owner of Triple Base Gallery from 2005-2011; Eleanor
Hanson Wise, co-founder and director of The Present Group and Art Micro
Patronage; and Kristan Kennedy, an artist and curator who is currently the
Visual Art Curator for the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art.

Canyon Cinemazine <http://canyoncinema.com/>
Canyon Cinema commemorates Canyon Cinema's 50th anniversary as the pinnacle
of Bay Area experimental film distribution through the creation of a new
newsletter. Harkening back to the typewritten correspondence among
avant-garde artists of the 1960s, Canyon Cinemazine, distributed quarterly
beginning January 2013, seeks to reignite the discussion of underground and
independent film media practice and theory.

...


Other Cinema <http://www.othercinema.com/>
Other Cinema is a weekly microcinema exhibiting experimental and
underground film, video, and performance. The all-volunteer run project has
been showcasing contemporary fine-art films, essay, documentary, and other
marginalized film genres for 27 years at Artists Television Access in San
Francisco's Mission District.

Alternative Exposure awards funds to groups or individuals that create
frameworks of support for Bay Area artists. Grants provide direct and
accessible contributions to a range of locally grown artist-centered
projects, extending SoEx's reach to as many new artists and audiences as
possible. Alternative Exposure supports the work of unincorporated groups,
burgeoning art and gathering spaces, publications, websites, collectives,
events, and independent, artist-centered projects that fall outside the
traditional frameworks of support.

Southern Exposure is committed to serving as a resource for the vibrant
independent visual arts community through this and its other programs. The
Alternative Exposure grant program, launched in 2007, was the first in a
national network of regional re-granting programs supported by the Warhol
Foundation. Modeled on Southern Exposure's initiative, additional
re-granting programs are now facilitated by organizations in Houston, TX;
Chicago, IL; and Kansas City, MO.

*Generous lead support for Alternative Exposure is provided by The Andy
Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Additional support is provided by
Grants for the Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund.*
