Michigan won the first 12:30 recruiting battle against FSU this week as Devin Bush Jr. picked the Wolverines yesterday afternoon.

Devin fills a huge need at LB for the Wolverines. The best news is Devin will be enrolling at Michigan in January and will get Spring Practice reps and hopefully be ready to play next season.

Devin comes in at 5’11 and 225 pounds and is rated 4 stars by Rivals and ESPN and 3 stars by Scout and 24/7. He is known as a run stopper and a guy that can cover a TE. His rating might be a bit different on each service but his offer list is clearly a 4 star prospect with the likes of: Alabama, FSU, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, ND, UCLA, Nebraska, Texas, Miss State and many may others. His height seems to be the biggest issue in his ranking as he measured in at 5’9 at Nike’s Opening.

The Grit Fund, administered by The Contemporary, provides grants in amounts between $1,000–$6,000, totaling $50,000 annually. The fund supports unincorporated and collaborative artist-organized activity that contributes significantly to Baltimore’s arts landscape but seldom qualifies for traditional funding. Established with generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the Grit Fund expands Warhol’s Regional Regranting Program to the Mid-Atlantic, encouraging projects that generate opportunities and create platforms for artists to engage with each other and with the public. Funded activities could include but are not limited to: exhibitions, publications, public events, public art, film screenings, the ongoing work of an existing arts venue or collective, and the founding of a new arts venue or collective. To apply, or for more information, please visit gritfund.org.

Are you wondering if you’re eligible for the Grit Fund? Is this your first time submitting a grant? Do you have questions about the budget or taxes? Please download our comprehensive Grit Fund packet—found here—for information session details, eligibility requirements, and other frequently asked questions. Or feel free to email us at gritfund@contemporary.org with your questions, comments, or concerns.

In 2015, the inaugural round of Grit Fund received over 80 applications and awarded $50,000 to 10 projects with grants ranging from $3,200 to $6,000. The fund supported art spaces, series, podcasts, and events including Art Royalty Music Video Production & Listening Party; bb: Interdisciplinary Arts Space & Lecture Series; Conversations: A BmoreArt Podcast Series; Exhibitions; Exittheapple Artspace, Capacity Expansion; Hyrsteria; Open Space; Sight Unseen presents New Experimental Works; Skatenight Showcase and Exhibit; and Throwing a Stone.

The biggest news coming out of Schembechler Hall yesterday was that Jourdan Lewis will be back for his senior year. This is great news for a Wolverine Defense that if they get any LB play should have a very good unit next year. As a poster on Mgoblog’s said, he couldn’t pass up an opportunity to be Jourdan in Jordan’s next season!

Janet & Walter Sondheim Artscape Prize

The Artscape prize is named in honor of Janet and Walter Sondheim who have been instrumental in creating the Baltimore City that exists today. Walter Sondheim, Jr. had been one of Baltimore’s most important civic leaders for over 50 years. His accomplishments included oversight of the desegregation of the Baltimore City Public Schools in 1954 when he was president of the Board of School Commissioners of Baltimore City. Later, he was deeply involved in the development of Charles Center and the Inner Harbor. He continued to be active in civic and educational activities in the city and state and served as the senior advisor to the Greater Baltimore Committee until his death in February 2007.

Janet Sondheim danced with the pioneering Denishawn Dancers, a legendary dance troupe founded by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn. Later, she turned to teaching where she spent 15 years at the Children’s Guild working with severely emotionally disturbed children. After retirement, she was a volunteer tutor at Highlandtown Elementary School. She married Walter in 1934, and they were together until her death in 1992.

Artscape

America’s largest free arts festival, attracting more than 350,000 attendees, offers concerts on multiple outdoor stages, art exhibitions, an artists’ market, a full schedule of dance, theater and opera, jazz, classical, folk and experimental music, children’s activities, exhibitors, and an extensive variety of local food and beverage vendors on Mount Royal Avenue and North Charles Street.

The 2016 Janet & Walter Sondheim Artscape Prize is made possible through the generous support of the the Abell Foundation, Alex. Brown & Sons Charitable Foundation, Charlesmead Foundation, Ellen Sondheim Dankert, France-Merrick Foundation, Hecht-Levi Foundation, Legg Mason, M&T Charitable Foundation, Amy & Chuck Newhall, Henry & Ruth Blaustein Rosenberg Foundation, M. Sigmund & Barbara Shapiro Philanthropic Fund, John Sondheim and The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company.
