In case you didn’t know, every year, Burning Man awards grants to artists to fund artwork for the playa. \u00a0Yep, a portion of your ticket money goes directly to creating some of the amazing pieces of art that grace Black Rock City. \u00a0Not bad, ‘eh? \u00a0Right. So, thank you!<\/p>\n

Our lovely and charming Grant Committee has sent us the following to relay to would-be submitters of grant proposals, and we thought it only right to pass it on to you. \u00a0They say:<\/p>\n

Hear ye! Hear ye! The Burning Man grant committee is now accepting\u00a0applications for the 2010 grant season. In an effort to make the\u00a0process easier, we’ve created a new format — an editable PDF. It asks\u00a0all the same questions and requires the same information as we have\u00a0always wanted, but now in a simple form. You can learn more and access\u00a0the new PDF here<\/a>. This new format is the new,\u00a0mandatory format for applying for a grant. The deadline for grant\u00a0application si 11:59 pm February 1st. This is a hard deadline — no\u00a0late submissions will be considered. You can read more about it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also\u00a0as part of this year’s grant season, Burning Man is soliciting\u00a0applications for the plazas — the 3:00, 4:30, 7:30 and 9:00. We’ve set\u00a0aside some funds from our grant budget to cover these locations. It’s a\u00a0unique opportunity to create something interactive, something\u00a0thought-provoking, and something fun in the neighborhoods of Black Rock\u00a0City. There have been amazing pieces in the plazas from such\u00a0award-winning artists as David Best and Charlie Smith, and the pieces\u00a0have been as thought-provoking and whimsical as Black Rock City has\u00a0ever seen … like Bruce Bender’s “Ketchup!” for instance.<\/p>\n

\nIn addition, we are asking for grant applications for the Cafe\u00a0portal. The Cafe \u2018Front Portal\u2019 Art is a specific art installation\u00a0positioned just in front of the entry to the Caf\u00e9 as it faces The Man. Though named the Front Portal, it is NOT necessary that\u00a0this Art be a portal, arch, gateway or similar shape. See below for images\u00a0of some Portal pieces from previous years. This is the first year we are including the process for selecting the Caf\u00e9 Front\u00a0Portal Art in the larger grant cycle \u2013 in the past these\u00a0artists were hand-picked by Caf\u00e9 leadership by virtue of their familiarity with\u00a0the Caf\u00e9 and prior playa works. Since 2000 (when David Best created the first\u00a0Front\u00a0Portal) the art location has evolved \u00a0away from the structure itself,\u00a0with large-scale Art proudly marking the front entrance to\u00a0the Center Camp Caf\u00e9. \u00a0 This is notto be confused with the Keyhole location, the Front\u00a0Portal\u00a0is quite close to the Caf\u00e9 structure. The Cafe portal position is a\u00a0place of honor in front of the Cafe. Here are some images of previous\u00a0Caf\u00e9 Front Portal Art pieces:<\/p>\n
