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. 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 $2,000. More information on Burner Exchange Grants <https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/participate/art-at-firefly/art-grants/burner-exchange-grants/> . *Submissions Due:* 4/28/2024 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 $2,000. More information on Legacy Grants <https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/participate/art-at-firefly/art-grants/legacy-grants/> . *Submissions Due:* 4/27/2025 A Note About Fuel Policy We’re changing our policy this year regarding fuel. In the past, fuel was ineligible for a grant because it was considered a general-use item. This year, we’re altering the policy so that funding for fuel can now be included in a budget, provided that it is necessary for the piece to work (such as gas for fire art), rather than for transportation or as a general expense for the artist’s camp.
