Join Firefly’s Late Crew!
by The Firefly Official Announcement List 10 Apr '24

10 Apr '24

What goes up, must come down! The Infrastructure Cluster is looking for two leads for the new Late Crew Core. These heroic individuals will stay the day after Exodus to coordinate volunteers to take down and put away all of our infrastructure, and would be available to potentially come back the following weekend in case all of the tasks are not completed on Late Crew Day. The taking down of all the things and packing them up snugly for the remainder of the year is *just* as important as the work we do before the event to take it all out and explode it all over the place - and just as necessary. Are you: * available on July 8th (Late Crew Day) and July 13-14 (Late Late Crew Weekend) * somewhat familiar with the land and infrastructure, and willing to get more so by attending an Infrastructure meeting or a Work Weekend prior to Firefly * responsible and thorough * good at directing a group * and willing to think on your feet to make sure everything gets done one way or another? Then email Iva, Infrastructure Cluster Lead, at [ mailto:iva@fireflyartscollective.org | iva(a)fireflyartscollective.org ] to discuss this role! If you have general volunteering questions, email Presley, Volunteer Coordinator, at [ mailto:presley@fireflyartscollective.org | presley(a)fireflyartscollective.org ] .

Burner Exchange Grant and Legacy Grant Submissions are Now Open!
by The Firefly Official Announcement List 01 Apr '24

01 Apr '24

Over the years, the Firefly Arts Collective (FAC) has been proud to provide grant support to Firefly artists to enable them to express and fulfill their varied creative visions. These grants are intended to support and promote radically-expressive, community-based, interactive and/or collaborative projects that help define and shape the creative core of the event. Art is a central part of Firefly, and the event wouldn't be the same without the wonderful pieces that have been brought to Vermont over the years. Bringing art is a great way to add a piece of yourself to the event and contribute/participate in a meaningful way. We are now accepting applications for Burner Exchange Grants and Legacy Grants. These grant categories are for art that ALREADY exists, and needs help to get to Firefly. [ https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/participate/art-at-firefly/art-grants… | Burner Exchange Grants ] Burner Exchange Grants are intended to fund projects that have already appeared at non-Firefly burns, and need minor repairs/improvements or funding for transportation. They are available for any funding level between $1 and $1000. Submissions Due: 4/28/2024 [ https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/participate/art-at-firefly/art-grants… | Legacy Grants ] Legacy Grants are intended to fund projects that have already appeared at Firefly itself, and simply need repairs, minor improvements, or significant upgrades. They are available at tiers of $100, $300, $500, $599, or $1000. Submissions Due: 4/28/2024 How to submit? Via the [ https://grants.fireflyartscollective.org/ | Art Grant Portal ] : ( [ https://grants.fireflyartscollective.org/ | https://grants.fireflyartscollective.org/ ] ) If you’ve submitted a grant proposal, your account will still be active. Just sign in with your previous username and password. What to know more about Firefly Art Grants in general?
