Firefly Art Grants are LEVELING UP (+ BEX and Skillshare are NOW OPEN!)
by The Firefly Official Announcement List 13 Feb '18

13 Feb '18

~*~ *LATE BREAKING:* *MORE MONEY FOR ART! HIGHER GRANT TIERS!* BEX AND SKILLSHARE APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN <https://grants.fireflyartscollective.org/sessions/artist/new>! STILL ACCEPTING <https://grants.fireflyartscollective.org/sessions/artist/new> TEMPLE AND TEA UNTIL 2/19. STILL ACCEPTING <https://grants.fireflyartscollective.org/sessions/artist/new> CREATIVITY AND LEGACY UNTIL 3/5. ~*~ Firefly's Art Grant Core, with the generous support of the Firefly Festival Committee and the Firefly Board, are proud to announce a *major increase in funding* to art at Firefly. This year we have more grants at more levels than ever (big *and* smol) so there's never been a better time to apply. *New funding changes:* *Temple Grant: *was $1000,* now $2000* We are doubling the Temple Grant to enable more comprehensive funding for Temple artists. Reminder that Temple Submissions are due on *Monday, Feb 19, 2018*. *Anniversary Grants**:* was $1000, *now $1000, $1500, or $2000* Anniversary Grants are also doubling, if your project warrants it! Anniversary Grants no longer require that the project also appear at FIGMENT Boston - we now have a $100 FIGMENT bonus that all funded projects are eligible for (see below for details). Reminder that Temple Submissions are due on *Monday, Feb 19, 2018*. *Moonshot Grant **(new!)**: $5000* Have you had an idea that seems like it's just too much? Don't save your ambitions for the desert. The Moonshot Grant is a special grant with no fixed deadline or application schedule. Artists who have grand ambitions for Firefly art are welcome to propose their ideas to the Art Grant Core ( grants(a)fireflyartscollective.org) and we'll work with you to realize your dream. *Smol Grants (new!): $40-99* Sometimes a big grant is too big. Maybe you don't think of yourself as an artist (u r wrong) and the grant process seems too complicated. Perhaps your ambitions aren't large, they are... smol. For you there is the Smol Grant. This is a small-dollar grant with a simplified application process, and the review process will be more streamlined than the process for other Firefly Art Grants. The Smol Grant is the perfect way to start getting involved with art at Firefly. *FIGMENT Bonus: +$100 for projects that show up at FIGMENT Boston* Firefly is proud to support FIGMENT Boston by providing extra funds to any project funded at $100 or more to help bring it to FIGMENT. These funds are designed to help you transport your project to FIGMENT, make any repairs to damage incurred at Firefly, or replace consumables you need to make your project work. More details coming later in the year. Art Grant Core will be updating the website soon with information about the new funding levels and grant types. None of this would be possible without the rich community around Firefly, so thank you! *Full Summary of All Available Grants* There are eight (8) different types of grants: *Anniversary Grants (2018 Tea Grants)* [Open, Closing: 2/19] *Temple Grant* [Open, Closing: 2/19] *Creativity Grants* [Open, Closing: 3/5] *Legacy Grants* [Open, Closing 3/5] *Burner Exchange Grants* (BEX Grants) [Open, Closing 3/12] *Skillshare Grants* [Open, Closing 3/12] *NEW! **Smol Grants* [TBA] *NEW! Moonshot Grant *[TBA] The Creativity Grants (open!) are our primary grants, and are designed to fund creative new projects to be shared with our community during the Firefly event. Creativity grants are awarded in tiers of $150, $300, $500 and $700. The Legacy Grants (open!) are provided to support existing projects which have been to Firefly in the past. Art can be exposed to many elements at Firefly — mud, rain, sun, and most of all, people — and this grant is designed to provide funding to help with wear and tear produced by this exposure. Legacy grants are awarded in tiers of $100 and $300. The Tea/Anniversary Grants (open!) are intended to support projects of a larger and more ambitious scale than the typical Creativity Grant project. Named for traditional wedding anniversary gifts, these grants celebrate Firefly's lasting commitment to art. These projects must be appropriately large in scale, spectacular, and suitable for presentation at a variety of venues. Anniversary grants are awarded in tiers of $1000, $1500, $2000. The Temple Grant (open!) 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. The BEX Grants (now open!) are for art that already appeared either at a regional burn event or Burning Man, and showcases the local flavor of its origin. Grant money is intended to be applied to minor maintenance / improvements and shipping costs to Vermont. BEX Grants are awarded for up to $1000. These grants are not open for submission yet. The Skillshare Grants (now open!) are a special type of grant, debuted in 2016, and allow artists to broaden or deepen their skillsets by funding specific classes or training in an artistic field. These grants are not open for submission yet. The *Smol Grants *are new for 2018! A Smol Grant is our lowest grant level, between $40 and $99, for artists whose ideas are big but whose budget is smol. There will be a limited quantity of these grants, and more detail about how they work is coming soon! The *Moonshot Grant* is new for 2018! This is a grant for up to $5000, for large-scale art. Email grants(a)fireflyartscollective.org to inquire and apply! *Schedule* *Temple + Tea/Anniversary* *Submissions due: 2/19 (very soon)* *Creativity + Legacy* Submissions due: 3/5 (*soon*) *BEX + Skillshare* Submissions due: 3/12 *How Do I Submit?* Submissions are handled through the Firefly Art Grants Web Portal <http://grants.fireflyartscollective.org/>.

Call for 2018 Firefly Art Grant Reviewers!
by The Firefly Official Announcement List 21 Jan '18

21 Jan '18

Interested in helping bring art to Firefly? Want to help choose what kind of projects are funded for the event? This is call out to any of you who might be interested in helping to review the proposals for Firefly's Art Grants <http://fireflyartscollective.org/art-grants/> this year! We are looking for approx 15 folks who are interested in helping to make this aspect of Firefly successful. Requirements: 1. You must have attended at least 1 (one) previous Firefly in order to join and participate in the selection committee. 2. You must not be applying for a 2018 Firefly Art Grant. 3. There are three blocks available; you can sign up for any number of blocks, but for each block you must attend both dates. Meetings will take place in Somerville (a short walk from Davis Square). These discussions can be lively at times; food and drinks are potluck-style/bring your own. - Tea (Anniversary) and Temple Grant Meetings: - Thursday, February 22nd at 7:30 PM - Thursday, March 1st at 7:30 PM - Creativity and Legacy Grant Meetings: - Thursday, March 8th at 7:30 PM - Thursday, March 15th at 7:30 PM - Skillshare / BEX / Smol (*We only need a couple people max for this group; it may be rolled into previous groups, time-depending*): - Thursday, March 22nd at 7:30 PM - Thursday, March 29th at 7:30 PM 4. Commit to reading and recording your thoughts on up to 40 applications, which may take 4-6 hours of brain time. The Intense Details: The job requires a lot of reading and talking as we typically receive over 35 applications for Creativity Grants and a smaller pool of Tea (Anniversary) and Temple Grants. We will have 2 weeks to make our decisions for the two sets of grants, with two meetings per grant. That's a total of 4 meetings altogether. We strongly encourage volunteers to come to both blocks of meetings, but if you can only come to one set that's OK too. This is a commitment of about 15-20 hours; 6-8 hours of reading and cogitating and four (maybe six) 2-hour meetings where we hash it all out. Once the application deadline has passed, the committee has about a week to read the applications over and fill out a review sheet to decide how well each application met the criteria. We review the applications for Thoughtfulness, Creativity, and Feasibility (explained in detail here <https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/participate/art-at-firefly/art-grants/> and during the meetings). This is followed by the aforementioned meetings where we compare notes and formulate follow-up questions for all applicants. We wait a week to give time for artists to get their replies back to us, then we meet again and make our final decisions. If you would like to participate, please sign up via the Art Grants portal by Feb 15th: *https://grants.fireflyartscollective.org/voters/new <https://grants.fireflyartscollective.org/voters/new>* Any questions?
