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 grant recipients represent a range of ideas and interactions worth celebrating. Some of our 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. Others still 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.
The submission deadline for our 2009 Grant Cycle has now passed, as of March 13, 2009.
Our grant cycle spans the course of a year, usually from March to February the following year. Applications are available in December, and our application deadline is mid-March. Awarded grantees receive their first funding in June, and are expected to complete their project in one year, with some exceptions.
