The Factor Prize, given annually with a cash prize of $10,000, acknowledges an artist whose work contributes to a new understanding of the South. Unlike any other award of its type, the Factor Prize is designed to create an online archive of information about Southern artists that can be used by curators, collectors, academicians, and the public. The prize goes to an artist whose work demonstrates the highest level of artistic achievement in any media. The prize may be awarded to an artist who has already produced a body of significant work or whose work shows considerable promise. Eligible artists are those who reside, work or are from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, or Virginia. All artists who entered on the Factor Prize website in 2008 (except finalists) are automatically registered for the 2009 award. New nominations are now being accepted through January 30, 2009 at www.factorprize.org.

Mural Painting

We are looking for a volunteer to paint on our baptistery's walls. We would like a realistic painting of a waterfall, as if the waters were falling from the heavens, with a dove descending. We have a picture attached of a waterfall that seems to fit the description, but it is too dark and there is no dove in this picture.
The baptistery has 3 walls: 5' w x 12' h; 7' w x 12' h; 5' w x 3'h
The artist is welcomed to submit his/her ideas based on our description, the picture we're providing is only to help aid the description of what we would like. The artist is also welcomed to read Matthew 3:13-17 and capture the scene of that scripture to be included in the drawing, although we do not want any pictures of people or any pictures representing what anyone thinks Jesus looks like.
We do not have the available funds to pay an artist's salary, but are willing to provide an offering along with the promise that the artist's name and information (should the artist choose) will be announced on our website for as long as we choose to keep the painting as a part of our baptistery. We would also provide a receipt for the proposed value of the art work to be included in the artist's tax returns as a tax-deductible charitable donation.
We can be reached at 614-337-2855, 614-580-0799, or 614-562-271.
