DIGITAL STRATEGY GRANT RESULTS

An update from Research Coordinator:

We've received the results of our Digital Strategy Grant application. Unfortunately The Canada Council found it to be 'ineligible' because "The initiative is to research, create, produce or program artistic work or creations;" 
I think we made our work scenario test designs just too pretty, and even though they would just be produced in 1/4 scale, they came across as art. True enough that everything we costumers make is art!  We gave it a really good shot though.

We applied to the Digital Strategy fund (in spite of it being notoriously difficult to win) because at our date of submission on June 15 it would have meant the earliest possible start date for our project. We're no worse for wear however, and we intend to apply to a number of grants with fall submission deadlines in hopes of beginning our research next spring.
Stay tuned friends!
