SLO County Arts presents a special screening of Wim Wender’s 1987 film, Wings of Desire, in honor of our new Blank Canvas Arts Grant. Learn more about this new grant opportunity for SLO County emerging artists and get inspired by the film!
About the Film:
Two angels, Damiel and Cassiel, glide through the streets of Berlin, observing the bustling population, providing invisible rays of hope to the distressed but never interacting with them. When Damiel falls in love with lonely trapeze artist Marion, the angel longs to experience life in the physical world, and finds — with some words of wisdom from actor Peter Falk — that it might be possible for him to take human form.
About the Grant:
The Blank Canvas Arts Grant supports experimental, contemporary projects by emerging and mid-career artists based in San Luis Obispo County. Funded projects should represent a playful exploration of artistic expression that strays from traditional art-making conventions and gallery installation. Proposals should be conceptually oriented to provoke audience response and questions by providing thoughts, images, sounds, and physical arrangements in unexpected places. Applicants are encouraged to submit work in mediums including but not limited to visual arts, performance, literary arts, music and sound, dance, and cross-disciplinary collaborations.
