Dr. Dyer can also be reached at jdyer@mun.ca or on 864-3732. The project proposal should outline the nature and significance of the intended work as artist in residence, how it fits into Memorial's Faculty of Arts and how the Faculty of Arts can benefit the project.
The deadline for proposals is Nov.15, 2010.
