We have an offer for a Subsidised Professional Workshop on Getting More Funding From Art Orgs.

by Maximilian Klein

Last year we got $4k from SoEx as a grant. They sent us this offer as a previous winner to find out how to get more money in different places. I can hook up anybody that wants to go. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Alternative Exposure" <alternativeexposure(a)soex.org> Date: 17 Dec 2014 15:10 Subject: Opportunity for Upcoming Professional Development Workshop at Southern Exposure To: "Carey Lin" <ad(a)soex.org> Cc: Dear former Alternative Exposure Grantees: I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to let you know about an upcoming opportunity here at SoEx I'd like to invite you (and any of your current/former project collaborators) to apply to if you are interested. It is a 1-day intensive professional development workshop offered by Creative Capital on February 1 and we are accepting applications through January 4. It's a great resource and the costs of the workshop are being subsidized so it's free to attend for selected participants. As a former Alt Ex grantee I think you would have a lot to contribute to this group session so I highly encourage you to apply before the deadline. More information and a link to the application can be found on our website here. <https://www.soex.org/opportunities/open-call/creative-capital-professional-…> Thanks and have a great holiday! Carey

Shawn

by niki

Hey all, I'm having some trouble with shawn in the bookstore. He comes in and makes a mess and is rude and obstinate when I ask him to clean it up. In general he's pretty nasty to me and while I am sympathetic to his situation I'm going to have to start asking him to leave the bookstore when I am here. N

person who can type in chinese to translate something for me?

by Jake

I am looking for someone who can help me write an email in chinese, for the purpose of specifying a technical design to a chinese factory. My first attempt to communicate with a diagram did not work out. If you or someone you know is available to help me translate an email, I would appreciate it. I don't trust google translate to do a good job, and I respect the engineers in China enough not to send them a computer translation. The information I need to convey is the wiring pattern for a pedal-power generator which will be part of a product where people can power their laptop (or television or whatever) by pedalling a stationary bicycle. thank you! -jake
