Greetings Fireflies - We probably don't need to remind you that there will be no event in the woods this summer <https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/news/no-person-event-july-2021/>. However, that does not mean that art cannot be made! Firefly Arts Collective has set aside a limited budget for facilitating art grants this year, and we are opening submissions *today. * *Types of projects may include: * - Art that is purely virtual - Art that is physical and live streamed and/or virtually interacted with in some way - Art that is publicly viewable in a way that doesn't discourage responsible social distancing - Art that replicates the "Temple" or "Burn" experiences. - (Insert your creative idea here!) Please note that, as per usual <https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/participate/art-at-firefly/art-grants/>, we do not pay for labor (labor/effort is how we all participate and contribute!) or general-purpose durable goods (e.g. generators, DJ equipment, etc). If you are interested in applying, please fill out the following application form: https://forms.gle/CJmo6s78qHTWPmV66 Since deadlines can be helpful: we are planning to review submissions on May 2nd, May 9th, and ~weekly thereafter as needed. Funded projects should aim to be operational by the first week in July at the latest. Please also note that receiving a grant is certainly not required for sharing some Firefly-inspired art with the community this summer, or at any time. Questions?
