Soliciting Feedback on the Firefly Arts Collective Directors and Candidates
by The Firefly Official Announcement List 17 Mar '17

17 Mar '17

Dear Fireflies, In February, we sent out an open call for interest in joining the Board of Directors of Firefly Arts Collective. We received a number of enthusiastic responses, and have invited four participants to meet with the current board to better understand how we operate. This is a process we repeat periodically as we encounter normal turnover of our leadership. We would now like to solicit community feedback on the candidates under consideration for joining the Firefly Board. We also welcome feedback on current board members, to help keep us accountable to our community. For the participants listed below, please consider the following thoughts as you write us: 1) Do you feel that the candidate is well-suited for participating on the Board of Directors, based on your experience and our bylaws (http://fireflyartscollective.org/about-fac/firefly-bylaws/)? 2) What are some qualities in the candidate that would assure success as a member of the Firefly Board? 3) If you have worked with the candidate on a project before, what was that experience like? 4) Is there anything else you would like to share about the candidate? When considering your feedback, keep in mind that beyond the yearly camping festival, we are working to expand the year-round activities of Firefly Arts Collective. Firefly continues to collaborate with Somerville Open Studios and Figment Boston to bring more community art to our cities, and we are working to have more year-round engagement. We seek members who are excited not just in helping coordinate our festival, but who also have the time and energy to expand and strengthen our regional community. Candidates for March 2017: - Talena Gandy - Frank Gerratana - Brian Gowdey - Sharon Kubo Current Board Members, Role, (years on board): - Jesse Campbell (3) - Blake Courtney (5) - Jered Floyd (3) - Liz LaManche (3) - Kendra Pugh, Clerk (2) - Dan Snyder, Vice-President (3) - Drew Van Zandt, President (2) Please send your feedback, particularly on candidates, to board(a)fireflyartscollective.org by Wednesday, April 12.

Call for New Board Member Interest for Firefly Arts Collective
by The Firefly Official Announcement List 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

This is a powerful way you can help make our community stronger, so we're pulling it out separately from our first Glowbe edition of the year. Please get in touch if you're interested! <3, The Firefly Board Call for New Board Members We are looking for a limited number of participants to add to the Firefly Arts Collective Board of Directors to fill positions vacated in the past year. The Board is responsible for the financial and legal obligations of Firefly Arts Collective Inc. The Board is also responsible for planning the long term development and growth of the organization. Board members are expected to physically attend monthly meetings in the Boston area and contribute several hours of work per week on a year-round basis. To learn more about the specific responsibilities of Firefly Board Members, please [ https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/firefly-arts-collective/bylaws/ | review our Bylaws ] . If you have interest in contributing to Firefly at this organizational level, please fill out this form: [ https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1QWriNScgxN2CDCORQmiKIi52NSiiH44tUrf1_rHBWL… | Application for Board Membership ] After you fill out the form we will reply within a week to confirm receipt and may get back to you with some follow-up questions. We may invite you to attend a meeting to chat more about your responses and let you learn more about how we operate. Once we've had a chance to review all responses the Board will discuss and decide if we wish to add additional members. The Firefly Board of Directors is relatively small to keep discussion and consensus-based decision making practical. Any candidates who we are unable to invite to join the Board will be kept on file to consider as future vacancies arise, and we will also send out this request for expression of interest on a yearly basis. We're very excited to get new participants involved with the Firefly Board. Beyond the yearly Firefly camping event we are working on expanding the year-round activities of Firefly Arts Collective. Firefly continues to collaborate with Somerville Open Studios and Figment Boston to bring more community art to our cities, and we are exploring other opportunities to engage more deeply with our larger home communities. We look forward to hearing from motivated participants with the time and energy to help expand and organize our community!

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.

In addition to the grants already accepting submissions, t wo more art grants are open for submissions today: Burner Exchange Grants (BEX Grants) Skillshare Grants The BEX Grants are for art that has 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. The Skillshare Grants are a special new type of grant which debuted in 2016. Skillshare grants are designed to help Fireflies gain the skills they need to tackle their art projects by providing up to $300 toward the cost of a class or training session in an artistic skill. Schedule: BEX + Skillshare February 2nd: BEX and Skillshare grant applications are open March 6th: BEX and Skillshare grant applications are due March 13th: BEX and Skillshare grants awarded Payments March 20th: Payments sent out (BEX, Skillshare) Submissions are handled through the [ http://grants.fireflyartscollective.org/ | Firefly Art Grants Web Portal ] .

Firefly 2017 Crystal, Temple, Creativity, and Legacy Art Grant Applications are open!
by The Firefly Official Announcement List 27 Jan '17

27 Jan '17

FIREFLY 2017 ART GRANTS - CRYSTAL, TEMPLE, CREATIVITY, AND LEGACY GRANT APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN! 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. There are six different types of grants: Creativity Grants Legacy Grants Anniversary Grants (Crystal Grants) Temple Grant Burner Exchange Grants (BEX Grants) Skillshare Grants This year’s anniversary grants are called the Crystal Grants . The Creativity Grants 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 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 Crystal Grants 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 not only serve as spectacles at Firefly, but also represent Firefly outside of our festival at events like FIGMENT Boston (and hopefully others as well!). These projects must be appropriately large in scale, spectacular, and suitable for presentation at a variety of venues. Anniversary Grant recipients must show their art at both Firefly and FIGMENT Boston; other events are optional. Anniversary grants are awarded for up to $1000. 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 $1000. The BEX Grants 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 are a special new 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. Schedule: ** Please note: Crystal, Temple, Creativity, and Legacy grant submissions are open! ** Crystal + Temple January 25th: Crystal and Temple grant applications open February 13th: Crystal and Temple grant applications due March 6th: Crystal and Temple grants awarded Creativity + Legacy January 25th: Creativity and Legacy grant applications open February 27th: Creativity and Legacy grant applications due March 13th: Creativity and Legacy grants awarded Payments March 20th: First payments sent out (Crystal, Temple) July 31st: Second payments sent out (Crystal, Temple) Aug 31st: Third payments sent out (Crystal) Submissions are handled through the [ http://grants.fireflyartscollective.org/ | Firefly Art Grants Web Portal ] .

Call for 2017 Firefly Art Grant Reviewers! (sign up by this Friday!)
by The Firefly Official Announcement List 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

Call for 2017 Firefly Art Grant Reviewers (sign up by this Friday!) 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 <https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/participate/art-at-firefly/art-grants/> this year! We are looking for 10-12 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 this most august of selection committees. 2. You must not be applying for a 2017 Art Grant. 3. You must be available for both of the meeting discussion dates for each block of meetings you attend, taking place in Somerville (a short walk from Davis Square). These discussions can be lively at times, and beverages will be provided: - Crystal and Temple Grant Meeting Block: - Thursday, February 16th at 7:00 PM - Thursday, February 23rd at 7:00 PM - Creativity and Legacy Grant Meeting Block: - Thursday, March 2nd at 7:00 PM - Thursday, March 9th at 7:00 PM 4. Commit to reading and recording your thoughts on over 40 applications, which may take up to 4-6 hours of brain time*. *This year (like last year) we split up the initial submissions into smaller, manageable chunks -- so each reviewer is only required to read ~10 proposals on their own prior to the meetings. This takes less 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 Crystal 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 max; 6-8 hours of reading and cogitating* and four 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 Friday, January 27th: http://grants.fireflyartscollective.org/voters/signup Any questions?

Re: [Firefly Announce] Firefly Arts Collective Conduct Committee Town Hall
by The Firefly Official Announcement List 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

Hello all, Thanks everyone for coming out and participating in the discussion. There were no formal notes taken unfortunately. We walked through the agenda and do have a few takeaways: rebranding to clarify what we actually do (we only investigate community reports and make reccomendations to the board, really), and the continued community interest in our operation means we've got another round of recruiting to do. Recruiting! If you are interested in volunteering the Conduct Committee please email the co-leads (currently: myself and Ike) at conduct-committee(a)fireflyartscollective.org Name Change! We need work on our branding. Many community members are unclear about where our functions end. We have a very limited mission: investigate reports and recommend actions to the board. There are many cogs in the Firefly machine, and clarifying our role would go a long way with community relations. Specific Case Info! None of this was shared, because we never share it per our non-disclosure agreements. Thanks all, and if you have more questions, please either use the anonymous form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeyp0nTGBudCR5kI8CihIUnluEyv9xAK6u… or email us at conduct-committee(a)fireflyartscollective.org Emile, Current co-lead On Thu, Nov 10, 2016 at 1:18 PM, Emile Daigle <emile(a)daigle.name> wrote: > Hello Firefly Community, > > Reminder: This is tonight!
