Nowhere 2013 art grants
Spain: 9-14 July 2013
Deadlines: 3 March 2013, 5 May 2013
Described as a 'festival', an 'arts event' and 'a Burning Man regional', Nowhere is the culmination of the music, languages, art, outfits, workshops, words, parties and people of a diverse, international community.
Our aims and your guidelines
Art and creativity are core to Nowhere. They are an important aspect of what sets it apart from other events. We would like to thank you for considering bringing art to Nowhere 2012!
One way Nowhere supports creative activity is by offering a limited number of financial grants:
Round 1: Grants of up to Euro 750 - application deadline Sunday 3 March 2013
Round 2: Grants of up to Euro 250 - application deadline Sunday 5 May 2013
Applications received after the deadlines will not be considered.
Please note: We will only fund up to 70% of the total cost of your art project. Please only apply for the amount you need. This will allow us to fund as many projects as possible. If your project is likely to cost substantially more than Euro 750 but you would still like to apply for a grant, please contact us before sending in your application. Funding for any one project will be limited to the grant amounts shown above. As well as big ideas, we are also interested in small, intimate projects, which is why we offer smaller grants. We do not fund artists' time, labour or personal travel expenses. We do fund materials and material transportation costs. We only pay grants in arrears, on the production of valid receipts.
Our aims It is our aim to support diverse, eclectic and inspiring art projects. We strive to have a balance of physical, performance and static art. We encourage both experienced and less experienced artists to apply.
We are particularly keen to fund: art that is of very high quality both large- and small-scale projects a wide range of projects (in terms of media and impact), from a wide range people, all delivered effectively projects that respond well to the particular and unique environment of the event participatory projects
Participatory art requires human interaction to complete a piece. It prompts people to interact with one another, it responds to participants and/or the environment, it causes people to reflect on the larger community, and/or it belongs to the public and exists for the benefit of all.
Participatory projects might include: projects that engage with or cross the language barrier projects that work strongly with themes of group identity performances projects that bring disparate groups of people together projects that facilitate other people making art projects that are inspirational and that go beyond decoration or being 'just' spectacular.
Please note that all artists will also have to buy a ticket for the event. Everyone involved in the event has to buy tickets.
