Do you want to build the Bug?
by The Firefly Official Announcement List 07 Jan '26

07 Jan '26

Do you want to build the Bug? Newly-retired Bug Crew is soliciting interest to build the effigy for Firefly 2026. Send an email to *bug-search(a)fireflyartscollective.org <bug(a)fireflyartscollective.org>*, along with a few short paragraphs with the following: 1) Your name and the names of anyone in your crew, and everyone’s expertise (we've found that a core crew of 4+ people is ideal) 2) Any previous experience you have with large art installations, especially burnable ones 3) A brief description of your vision for next year’s effigy (drawings, doodles, and diagrams welcome) Submissions indicating interest will close on *Monday, February 9*. If you have any questions, or would like to talk through your ideas with the old crew, feel free to reach out! *Some notes: -Bug Build typically involves 4 on-site work weekends + time during early arrival and the event, but might involve more (or less) this year -Plywood, synthetic fabric, and plastic/foam can’t be included in the burnable parts of the effigy -It doesn't technically HAVE to be a bug if you have other ideas

Reminder About Firefly Board Office Hours
by The Firefly Official Announcement List 04 Jan '26

04 Jan '26

A brief reminder that members of the Board will be available for, well, anything you want to talk about this coming Thursday, 8pm-9pm, virtually <https://meet.google.com/knv-meet-uzu>. We hope to see some of y’all there! If you aren’t able to make this one, here’s the dates for the future occurrences. In-Person Office Hours will take place on the first Tuesday of every other month and are co-located with the first hour of the Greet+Meet at Remnant Brewing <https://maps.app.goo.gl/TXzPEWMbrhM6XsRdA> in Somerville (i.e. 6pm-7pm). More specifically, the following dates: - February 3rd, 2026 - April 7th, 2026 - June 2nd, 2026 Virtual Office Hours take place on the first Thursday of the other months at 8pm-9pm Eastern. The different time and day are intended to enable folks to be able to attend at least one. These sessions will run on Google Meet ( link <https://meet.google.com/knv-meet-uzu>) - March 5th, 2026 - May 7th, 2026 Office Hours sessions will be attended by at least a few board members, and are intended to be a time for casual conversation and Q&A. Please note that since the full Board is unlikely to be at any given Office Hours session and since these will not be formal meetings, Office Hours will not be a venue for getting official decisions made or resolving inquiries that may need the participation of the full Board. We are always open to such inquiries by email. Sincerely, The Firefly Arts Collective Board of Directors
