: LOCATION :

Prindel Creek Farm in Tidewater Oregon, offers two large open fields with adjacent paths and smaller campsites nestled in the forest near Tidewater, Oregon. Prindel Creek features a stage for music and performances, covered pavilion with benches for folks to gather, two public designated fire pits (open ground campfires are not permitted), and a freshwater creek with a small waterfall that runs along the site which will give people a place to cool off. Prindel Creek Farm is approximately 2.5 hours from Portland with pavement up to the main gate (this is the same event location as 2012).

Awards begin May 15th, apply early for consideration. Grants will be determined by committee of your peers, so best to be honest with your request. Projects that demonstrate resourcefulness are appreciated.

Awards for art projects at SOAK* generally cover material goods only, and do not include labor, travel, housing or performance. Performance artist and troupes might consider applying for itemized material goods used in their craft (but not for performance, travel or housing). There is a strong preference for interactive arts and projects that might return to future events.
