ART GRANT INFORMATION

OPEN CALL FOR ART GRANTS FOR 2008 ECLECTIC ELEVEN
The goal for 2008 is to have multiple fire effigies, multiple art works (to-be-burned or not), performance art, and multiple fire shows.  The art grant process is to make it more affordable for creative participants. 

Art grants will be up to $500.00 and awarded funds are paid out to artist after the event.
Reimbursements will not be made for items without proper receipts; installation/performance area must be left without a trace. 

WHAT CAN GET  FUNDED:

• ART materials in the form of visual, audio or performance art.
• Transportation

WHAT DOES NOT GET FUNDED:

• Items that are valuable after the event, example: a generator will not get funded but the fuel to run it might.

ETHICS

• Use of recycled, reclaimed, found and/or repurposed materials as much as possible
• Community involvement, involving others in your project
• Do not burn toxic materials

LEAVE NO TRACE = …leave NO trace.

EFFIGIES
The main effigies (that will burn on Friday & Saturday nights) are commissioned by Vivid Community Arts Foundation. 

GOT FIRE?
If your project will involve open flame of any kind, you will need to submit a written fire safety plan along with the grant application. 

WHEN YOU WILL GET THE FUNDS:
After the event.
Leave no Trace: your space is left as if you had never been there
Turn in paper work: all receipts and a completed expense form (provided with grant award). 

TRANSPORTATION SUPPORT:
In order to cut down the total vehicle-miles involved with getting art out to the festival, we are offering transportation grants.  Transportation can be awarded as part of an art grant. 

SET-UP SCHEDULE:
Pre-construction and/or modular construction is encouraged; ideally projects should be able to be completely installed in 2 days or less.  If you need more than 2 days you must contact us before
April 20 to get put on the art access list.  ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it )
