Recompression Arts Grant Applications due Jan. 25th, 2010
Coordinator: Erik Paulsson
Please submit art fund request to: grants@gvias.org
What kind of art do we fund?
We fund interactive art. We fund art that is accessible to the public, civic in scope and prompts the viewer to act. We like art that can be experienced in more ways than visually. We are fans of art that is meant to be touched, heard or experienced, as well as viewed. We prioritize funding art that involves the audience in its creation and presentation.
We are hoping for a variety of interactive art including performances (dance, music, theatre, performance art), visual (painting, drawing, sculpture), media (sound, film, video, new media) and combinations of all art disciplines.
What is Interactive Art?
Art that belongs to the public and exists for the benefit of all.
-Art that requires human interaction to complete the piece.
-Art that prompts people to interact with one another.
-Art that responds to participants and to its environment.
-Art that causes people to reflect on the larger community.
-Art that challenges the viewers’ traditional perspective on art.
-Art that summons a culture around itself
-Art that provokes actions.
-Art that directs attention to the surrounding world.
-Art that transforms participants into active contributors to your creative process.
-Arts that transcends the static conception of an art object that is contemplated by a detached audience.
Interaction may be achieved in variety of ways. Sometimes, the mere act of encounter is sufficient, as in the case of artwork spread out within a special field of space that participants explore. Artwork may impart a gift or token. Likewise, works may be designed to receive something from people. Works may be activated by participants or by forces of nature, or they may function as social environments. Interactive artworks may also be made mobile, bringing an experience to passers by.
There will always be a place and time within the sphere of art for the perfect object-- something so astonishing in itself that the simple act of contemplation is reward enough-- and this, in a way, defines the essential nature and value of art. However, with planning, we have found nearly any form of conventional art can be engendered with an interactive aspect.
Amount of grants given
Maximum request: $750
For the 2010 Recompression, there is $5,000 in funds available for Arts Grants. $3,000 will be earmarked for the first round of grants, those project which are larger in scope.
$2,000 will be earmarked for the 2nd round of grants which will be due in late February. This will be for grants up to $300, and for micro-grants.
We encourage people to submit proposals whether it be relatively small or grand in scope. The Grants Committee will be awarding grants of a maximum $750 to selected recipients, depending on the scale and complexity of the project presented.
What will the grant cover?
The grant will pay for a portion of production costs. It will cover some or all material and transportation costs, but not for time/labor. As a matter of principle, it is preferred that you develop various kinds of non-monetary resources, such as support from friends and reuse of equipment and recycling of supplies. This effort on your part encourages collaboration and cooperation within our extended community.
1. Materials – This is ideally what the art grant is for and as such we may fund up to 100% of materials based on the proposal
2. Transportation costs – We may consider covering up to 100% of transportation costs to bring materials and work to Recompression, and a portion of personal transportation costs depending on justification.
3. Assets – (items you will keep and reuse) We would expect you to try to cover the cost of desired assets through fund raising first. If you are unable to cover the cost of the asset you may still apply to have an art grant help you purchase it.
Note: The Grant will not cover the cost of your ticket. We are a non-profit event and since EVERYONE is a participant, everyone is expected to buy a ticket, even those who are involved with organizing. However, we do have subsidy tickets you can apply for if your are financially challenged.
How will decisions be made/what is the criteria?
All proposals will be vetted by the GVIAS Grants Jury which shall be composed of members of the GVIAS Grants committee.
Any member of the grants committee or director who is submitting a proposal, or a member of a group submission, will not be allowed to sit on the Arts Jury.
How will grants be paid?
60% of the grants will be paid in advance, with the final 40% paid upon receipt of a final cost reports and copies of all receipts.

About Recompression
Recompression is a Burning Man-inspired Temporary Autonomous Zone open to be defined by any and all of its participants. It is an all ages retreat, which includes children, and is attended by professional and non-professional artists. Recompression is a community experience that encourages all to participate rather than spectate. Attendees are encouraged to create, present, and/or participate with music, sculpture, multi-media, dance, performances, workshops, theme camps, fire-spinning & fire involved performances, gift-giving, experiential communication, and friendship. This year’s Recompression will take place at Camp Elphinstone on the Sunshine Coast, BC, from April 3-5, 2009.
The vision is to create a radically inclusive and self-supporting community that will transcend mundane realities by keeping the sacred fires of Burning Man alive as an annual regional event. We are all participants. We have been a part of, or express values in the spirit of Burning Man. These values include: the support of radical individual freedom, the collective construction of cooperative spaces, volunteering and participation, visionary creativity, active gifting, celebratory ritual, the encouragement of growth and sharing of knowledge. We will carry out this vision and honour it through art, performance, theme camps, music, dance, verbal and physical communication.
You have likely been impressed and inspired by the art, sculpture and installations at various festivals, we are encouraging you to create art of your own for many enthusiastic people to admire and with which to interact! You have appreciated many unique and original performances, consider developing something for one or all of our regional events that lead up to Burning Man! We are here to endorse your ideas by offering ART GRANTS to SUPPORT YOU IN IMPLEMENTING YOUR CREATIVE VISION of whatever scale.
The Greater Vancouver Interactive Arts Society (GVIAS) has been established in part to focus on the funding of community art for our regional events.

As a proposed policy, the art grants are available to assist you in bringing your art to Recompression. As such we will consider funding your proposal based on the following factors:
1. Materials – This is ideally what the art grant is for and as such we may fund up to 100% of materials based on the proposal
2. Transportation costs – We may consider covering up to 100% of transportation costs to bring materials and work to Recompression, and a portion of personal transportation costs depending on justification.
3. Assets – (items you will keep and reuse) We would expect you to try to cover the cost of desired assets through fund raising first. If you are unable to cover the cost of the asset you may still apply to have an art grant help you purchase it.
How will decisions be made/what is the criteria?
All proposals will be vetted by the GVIAS Grants Jury which shall be composed of members of the GVIAS Grants committee and the GVIAS Board of Directors.
Any member of the grants committee or director who is submitting a proposal, or a member of a group submission, will not be allowed to sit on the Arts Jury.
Decisions will be based on the following criteria:
-The creativity of your project.
-The interactivity of your project
-The thoroughness of your proposal.

Art Grant Reminder:
The very last day for ANY Art Grant Proposals is Monday, February 16th, 2009, before midnight.
Coordinator: art@recompression.com
Please submit art fund request to this email.

Recompression is a Burning Man-inspired Temporary Autonomous Zone open to be defined by any and all of its participants. The vision is to create a radically inclusive and self supporting community that will transcend mundane realities by keeping the sacred fires of Burning Man alive as an annual regional event beyond Black Rock City. We are all Participants. We have been a part of, or express values in the spirit of Burning Man. These values include: the support of radical individual freedom, the collective construction of cooperative spaces, volunteering and participation, visionary creativity, active gifting, celebratory ritual, the encouragement of growth and sharing of knowledge. We will carry out this vision and honor it through art, performance, theme camps, music, dance, verbal and physical communication.
You have likely been impressed and inspired by the art, sculpture and installations at various festivals, we are encouraging you to create art of your own for many enthusiastic people to admire and interact with! You have appreciated many unique and original performances, consider developing something for one or all of our regional events that lead up to Burning Man! We are here to endorse your ideas by offering ART GRANTS to SUPPORT YOU IN IMPLEMENTING YOUR CREATIVE VISION of whatever scale. The Greater Vancouver Interactive Arts Society (GVIAS) is being established and will focus on the funding of community art for our regional events. Yes, art grants, to help you make it happen!
Should I be awarded a grant, how much will I receive?
This varies with particular projects. Grants normally pay for only a portion of production costs. We may pay for material costs, but not for time/labor. Artists should be ready to seek out other methods and sources of funding for larger scale projects. As a matter of principle, it is preferred that you develop various kinds of non-monetary resources, such as support from friends and reuse of equipment and recycling of supplies. This effort on your part encourages collaboration and cooperation within our extended community.
As a proposed policy, the art grants are available to assist you in bringing your art to Recompression. As such we will consider funding your proposal based on the following factors:
1. Consumables (propane, wood to be burned, paper, paint, glue, screws) – This is ideally what the art grant is for and as such we may fund up to 100% of consumable based on the proposal
2. Transportation costs – We may consider covering a portion of transportation costs but it is up to you to justify it
3. Assets – (items you will keep and reuse) We would expect you to try to cover the cost of desired assets through fund raising first. If you are unable to cover the cost of the asset you may still apply to have an art grant help you purchase it.
All proposals will be vetted by the GVIAS board. A failure to execute your proposed art project at Recompression may result in you either repaying the art grant or having to install it at another GVIAS event upon the discretion of the GVIAS board.
What if I have a request for an art grant of $50 or less?
Smaller scale grants allow for spontaneous interactive projects or displays to be brought to the event and supported. Requests for Art Grants of $50. or less are assessed differently than applications over $50.
You can do one of two things:
1. Put forward a one page proposal including
Cover Sheet: Artist name, address, phone, email and title of artwork or project
Physical Description: including the final vision, materials, and the intended interactive component (if any).
Philosophical Statement: What the art means to you and what you are trying to communicate to participants. Please be somewhat brief.
Itemized budget: list all expenses for material costs. Do not list "artist's fee" as we do not cover those expenses. You must total your costs and give us a final number.
Interactive art projects are most encouraged. These grants will be based on us receiving proposals and applications at artgrants@recompression.com.
OR
2. Submit a request for reimbursement of receipts during the first week following Recompression. That means before Monday, February 16th, 2009.
Requests for reimbursement of receipts will be reviewed during the two weeks after the event. To qualify for remaining art grants, receipts must be provided. They would be awarded as funding permits in the order of their submission to artgrants@recompression.com Please make “request for reimbursement” your subject line. Do not cc anyone; all members of the grant committee are on the art grants address.
What are the criteria for awarding art grants?
· Interactivity with people and the environment. Interactive art summons a culture around itself. It generates roles. It provokes actions. It directs attention to the surrounding world. It transforms participants into active contributors to your creative process. It transcends the static conception of an art object that is contemplated by a detached audience.
· Interaction may be achieved in variety of ways. Sometimes, the mere act of encounter is sufficient, as in the case of artwork spread out within a special field of space that participants explore. Artwork may impart a gift or token. Likewise, works may be designed to receive something from people. Works may be activated by participants or by forces of nature, or they may function as social environments. Interactive artworks may also be made mobile, bringing an experience to passersby.
· There will always be a place and time within the sphere of art for the perfect object-- something so astonishing in itself that the simple act of contemplation is reward enough-- and this, in a way, defines the essential nature and value of art. However, with planning, we have found nearly any form of conventional art can be engendered with an interactive aspect.
· The thoroughness of your proposal.
· Ability for the reusability of your art on the playa or at other events.
What must my proposal include?
· Cover Sheet: Artist name, address, phone, email and title of artwork.
· Physical Description: including dimensions, materials, and sound component (if any).
· Philosophical Statement: What the art means to you and what you are trying to communicate to participants. Please be somewhat brief.
· Itemized budget: list all expenses for material costs, including transportation. Research your costs carefully and be specific. Do not list "contingency costs" or "artist's fee" as we do not cover those expenses. You must total your costs and give us a final number.
· Do you have an adequate crew to build, install and clean up your project? Please describe your support team as it relates to the creation of the art, playa support and dismantling/cleanup. Describe the roles and skills needed even if you do not have a complete crew at this time.
· Timeline – pre-event construction schedule which reflects your budget e.g., when materials will be purchased, when stages of construction will be completed. Please include an onsite arrival and construction plan.
· You must check in directly with the Placement Co-coordinator one week before the event. The artwork must be ready as per your own schedule which you provide.
· Leave No Trace: A well thought out breakdown and clean-up plan and schedule. You may not leave anything behind.
· Detailed drawings, sketches, and plans, hand-drawn or computer generated. You may also send photographs with your proposal. Please limit your proposal to 5 pages maximum.
· Burning Artwork: If your artwork utilizes open fire such as candles, torches, fire barrels, or raised containers, please describe in detail. If artwork is to be engulfed in flames, please describe your ground protection. Include a detailed drawing showing how the art will be situated on it.
