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Please sign up again for 2020 (old accounts have been archived) so that we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.

2020!
