Firefly 2017 Burner Exchange and Skillshare Grant Applications are open!
BURNER EXCHANGE AND SKILLSHARE 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. 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.
