Endless Opportunities (Or Something)

This week is making up for last weeks failure in the opportunity department.

The first notable Internet-y thing though is the fact that Google is taking applications for a professional â€œDoodlerâ€ which could be really awesome. Did you see the Eadweard Muybridge radness the other day? Apply, apply, apply!

More info here:

http://www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/uslocations/mountain-view/product/doodler-mountain-view/index.html

Otherwise there is about a thousand things to look at internationally speaking, as well as something going down at Harvard Museum if youâ€™re fancy. The last few posts have been NYC-heavy and I think we need to scale that back a bit. If, for whatever possible reason, you do live in New York and youâ€™re reading this, Iâ€™d suggest joining the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) email list like everyone else on the planet.

We occasionally like to feature our friends when theyâ€™re in the midst of their Kickstarter fundraising and this week we heard about a weirdo abandoned amusement park in Berlin that must be changed into Kulturepark – a magical site as a place for creative exchange, site-specific art, urban design, historic memory, social connection, and public imagination.

Fund it.

Chicago-centric updates:

– Acre extends residency application by 2 days?! What? Why did I stay up late stressinâ€™ last nightâ€¦

– Firebelly design is inviting the brightest and most talented design students + recent grads to join forces inside their Chicago studio forÂ CampÂ FirebellyÂ 2012

Everywhere Else:

Now for an all encompassing insane list of crazy opportunities of everything from Houstonâ€™s Lawndale residency (hi guys!) to something called â€œVIDEOHOLICAâ€ in Bulgaria. Hopefully your German is better than mine.
