The Firefly 2025 Art Grants season has officially begun! The Temple Grant is accepting submissions starting *today*: Temple Grant: now up to $3000 (up from $2000 last year) 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 $3000. Submissions Due: 02/09/2025 Learn more about the crafting a proposal for the Temple Grant [ _https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/participate/art-at-firefly/art-grants/... | here. ] What about the other grants?
