BLACK ROCK ARTS FOUNDATION GRANTS
Grants for Community-Building, Interactive Art Projects
About Our Grants
Since 2002, we have provided grants to artists in support of interactive installations and performances across the country. We continue to increase the total dollar amount dispersed and number of grant recipients. Our goal is to continue this expansion, funding 40 individual grants, by the end of 2009.
2008's recipients represent a range of ideas and interactions worth celebrating. Some of 2008's grantees set out to create highly interactive, publicly engaging work in the spirit of the art experienced at Burning Man. Others extend existing collective art projects, continuing the momentum and reach of their works. Some projects employ a valuable connection with the emerging Burning Man Regional Network, expanding our geographic reach, while nurturing individual artists' capacity to create works in and with their own local communities. Seed and challenge grants given in this cycle help artists obtain further support.
This is an incredibly optimistic time for us. We see in our artists and their projects a reflection of our community of artists, supporters and donors. The Black Rock Arts Foundation is truly grateful to our donors and members, whose contributions make our grants possible.
