The Black Rock Arts Foundation is now accepting online Letters of Inquiry (LOI’s) for our 2013 grant cycle
We prioritize funding highly interactive, community-driven, collaborative works of art that are accessible to the public and civic in scope.
What is ‘interactive’ art?
Art that requires human interaction to complete the piece.
Art that involves the community and the audience in its creation, presentation and display.
Art that prompts the viewer to act.
Art that can be experienced in more ways than visually. We are fans of art that is can be approached, touched, heard or experienced, as well as viewed.
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 belongs to the public and exists for the benefit of all.
What kind of work does BRAF not fund?
Although we are open to all proposed forms of media, there are some common projects that typically fall outside the scope of our criteria. The exception to all of the examples listed below would be if the project had a highly interactive element that moves the project outside the definitions of its genre.
We typically do not fund:
Static work, such as sculpture with no interactive component
Gallery work, such as paintings in a gallery
Publications – poetry books, photo books, fiction, etc
Photography
Screenplays or films
Musical, theater or dance productions
Social aid/relief efforts
Entrepreneurial endeavors
Art destined for the annual Burning Man event. Burning Man has it’s own grant process that funds artwork bound for the playa

Black Rock Arts Foundation gives grants to individual artists, artist collectives or organizations.
