Deep Listening Institute Bay Area (DLIBA)
The Deep Listening Institute Bay Area (DLIBA) is a program of
the Deep Listening Institute.
The purpose of DLIBA is to provide
a platform for supporting new work in the San Francisco Bay Area.
DLIBA wishes to provide a context for new work through community building.
The formation of DLIBA (then called Pauline Oliveros Foundation Bay Area,
POFBA) was announced by Pauline Oliveros on November 12, 2000,
at the Oakland home of Wendy Burch. This culminated over three years
of planning
and organization. DLIBA is the second regional program of the Deep Listening
Institute, after DLI Houston.
Artists may make proposals to the DLI Board of
Directors. Proposals that are consistent and resonant with the
DLI mission
are considered for sponsorship. With approval of the DLI
Board of Directors, artists may submit the proposals to
granting organizations, using the tax exempt status of DLI
(a 510(c)(3) non-profit organization). This status allows access to a
larger variety of grants, including funds that are restricted to
California organizations.
DLI administers funds, and assists with the final reports, and
charges an administrative fee of 5% of the project budget.
Artists are responsible for all aspects of their projects.
