available art grants
This grant aims to encourage and support the creation of works of art. The project must be part of a co-participatory and collaborative vision. It must seek to provoke human interaction, whether to activate or complement the work, to spur action or simply to get people thinking about the principles of Burning Man. The work may take the form of a structure, an object or a performance, and may or may not be integrated into a thematic camp.
Max. amount granted: $500/project.
The basis of this special type of art grant is to promote the lighting of the trails, which is of prime importance when it comes to ensuring our saftey at all times during the event. We want to encourage smaller art projects that can be set up on the borders of the main paths as well as the paths that grant access to the camp. Two mottos: lluminate and decorate!
Max. amount granted: $150/project
