If you have a hankering to Express Yourself this semester in the arts, please read further. Funding is available for your project through the Master's Office. The on-line application opened at noon today and the deadline is September 17, at 4 p.m. I have cut and pasted some basic information below, but for the real deal visit this website:

For those upperclassmen who have applied before, the process has changed, so please read all the information and guidelines carefully.
INFORMATION
Administered by the Council of Masters, the Creative and Performing Arts (CPA) Awards support on-campus dramatic, musical, dance, video or film productions, literary publications, and exhibitions in each residential college. These projects are supported by the Sudler Fund, the Welch Art Fund, and the Bates Fund. Ideally, productions should be held within the residential colleges; if that is not possible, productions must take place on campus. (Projects may be staged at CoOp High School by special arrangement with Undergraduate Production.)
All applicants should review the full information provided in the “CPA Guidelines.” The application deadline for Fall 2012 is Monday, September 17th at 4pm. No late applications will be accepted. The online system turns off at the deadline.
Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors are encouraged to apply to their residential college for Arts Awards at the beginning of each semester. Students may apply in September for projects produced in the Fall semester, or that will be produced in the Spring semester prior to Spring Break. Students may apply in January for projects produced at any time during the Spring semester.
Prior to the submission of an application, students are encouraged to consult with the College Master and perhaps with other faculty and administrators on campus. By submitting a proposal the Proposer attests to the validity of the project as his or her own work and that duplicate or related proposals are not being submitted to other residential colleges. A student cannot be a primary proposer for more than one project per term. Applications can be submitted online here.
