Dear Artists and Scientists,

In celebration of the opening of the new exhibit, /Sir Isaac's Loft: 
Where Art and Physics Collide/, The Franklin Institute is hosting Sir 
Isaac's 28-Hour Sci/Art Jam. *Six Sir Isaac's Sci/Art Jam grant 
recipients will be given a thousand dollars and 28 hours to create art 
based on one of the themes represented in /Sir Isaac's Loft/*. The 
pieces will be created in The Benjamin Franklin National Memorial where 
visitors can watch the creative process in action.

The clock on Sir Isaac's 28-Hour Sci/Art Jam will start ticking at 
_11:00AM on July 15_ and stop ticking at _3:00PM on July 16_. The 
artists will then share with visitors what they were able to create in 
the time allotted.

The six themes in /Sir Isaac's Loft/ are:
*
Changing The Light:* Changing the light changes what you see.
*
Chain Reactions:* Chain reactions need a push to get started and then 
keep going.

*Combining Motions:* Combining simple motions creates complex patterns.

*Physics Feats Of Strength*: Knowing physics allows you to do things 
that you could not before.
*
Energy Transfer:* Energy can be transferred from one thing to another or 
from one form to another.
*
Illusions:* Artists use science to fool with your brain

For more information and to apply for one of the grants please click the 
following URL   http://www.fi.edu/tfi/exhibits/jam.html  Here you will 
also find an electronic application for one of the six grants and a PDF 
that describes the core exhibit in more detail.
**All grant submissions must be in by June 22nd.**


Thank you for your interest,

Mike Levad
