Art grants

Money to help you build a creative project for Microburn 2026, from a first sketch to a finished piece on site.

Apply for a grant

How it works

  1. Apply: complete the "Full Application" with your project details, a safety plan, and a line-item budget.
  2. The art team reviews your application.
  3. You're notified of the decision. If approved, you move on to your grant contract.

A review committee reads every application and decides which projects to fund.

Funded grants are paid 70% up front once your contract is signed, with the remaining 30% on completion and approved receipts.

WHAT WE FUND
  • Materials to construct the piece
  • Equipment hire specifically for the art project
WHAT WE DON'T FUND
  • Artist time or salaries
  • DJ equipment
  • Tickets or personal transport
  • Previously created art (consumables like propane and upgrades are OK)
  • Expensive reusable items (oven, printer, etc.)
  • Storage or building rental
  • Alcohol or other intoxicants
  • Commercial promotional materials
  • Camp infrastructure (generators, stages, lighting, sound equipment)
