Firefly 2020 Art Grants: Temple & Moonshot Submissions Begin TODAY!
by The Firefly Official Announcement List 10 Dec '19

10 Dec '19

The Firefly 2020 Art Grants season has officially begun! Following last year's successful pilot, we are again launching Temple and Moonshot grant submissions in December (now!) to give artists maximum time to prepare their proposals and work on their projects. The following grants are accepting submissions starting *today*: *Temple Grant: up to $2000* The Temple Grant supports the creation of the Temple at Firefly Arts Festival each year. The Temple aims to satisfy both civic and spiritual needs by creating a revered gathering space at Firefly. While the Temple should be spiritual in a general sense (and true to the spirit of the event), it is not intended to be a religious symbol, and overtly religious tones should be avoided. The Temple is placed in the field, and provides a space for Fireflies to seek quiet contemplation and introspection at the event. It is of the utmost importance that the Temple defines a physical (and emotional) space; that said, it does not have to be a traditional shelter or building. It is traditional for the Temple to serve as a place for participants to leave offerings, and the structure will be burned on the final evening of the event. A single Temple Grant is awarded for up to $2000. Submissions Due: *01/31/2020* *Moonshot Grant: up to $5000* Have you had an idea that seems like it's just too much? Don't save your ambitions for the desert alone! Artists who have grand ambitions for Firefly art are welcome to propose their ideas for a large-scale Moonshot Grant. Submissions Due:* 01/31/2020* *What about the other grants?* Our usual grants (Creativity, Legacy, BEX, Skillshare, and Smol) will be launching in early 2020. Stay tuned! *How to submit?* Via the Art Grant Portal: https://grants.fireflyartscollective.org/ Please sign up again for 2020 (old accounts have been archived) so that we have your most current information on file. *What to know more about Firefly Art Grants in general?* See our page on the Firefly website <https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/participate/art-at-firefly/art-grants/>. *Warning: u**nder construction! *Note that while the Temple and Moonshot information here is accurate, everything else is still being updated for 2020! *Other questions?* Email us: grants(a)fireflyartscollective.org Note that while submissions are open, we are not quite in "full swing" until the new year - that said, we will do our best to respond to your inquiries as soon as we are able! <3 Firefly Art Grant Core
