Art Grants and Commitments, 2008

   Art? contact:   art at wickermanburn dot org   with your art commitment.
   Our definition of art is broad. Stuff, actions, ideas are all art. You don't need anyone's approval to make art, to share art, to be art. Certainly not ours. But...
   If you want us to find and reserve the best space to present your art, you gotta let us know. Otherwise it's first come first serve when you arrive. And besides, we have all kinds of neat tools and supplies that you could use to make even more fabulous art; we like to share. And it's easy. E-mail us a description of your work, and a picture or colored pencil drawing that we can post here and make you famous. If you need help, tools, equipment or supplies, just ask!
    We'll work together to find the best placement for your Art.

   Altars?
   We are big into Altars. Small beautiful installations. Hidden off in the woods. Or right in your face. Any theme, any spiritual path. Or none. But beautiful.
   And eligible for Art Grants.

   Art Grants?    contact:   art at wickermanburn dot org   with your grant proposal.
   At this writing we have a $4,000 budget for Art Grants. That could very well go higher with registrations and really good proposals. And we do have to have a proposal. But it's simple.
   * What we need is an e-mail that details the concept and intent of your art realization. Legal name, address, e-mail and daytime phone are required for our NSA data mining operation.
   * What does it need in the way of infrastructure; power, water, burnable, shelter, space and help.
   * How much money do you need and how will you use it? (be slack, we are, and we like to think in round numbers) You will need to keep your receipts and hand `em over when you arrive. Violators of our virginal trust will be pilloried in our on-line Pantheon of the Clueless. Don't make us do it!
   * Achtung!!! A picture or a colored pencil drawing are required if you want the money!

    Approval is by a secret committee that meets on the Full Moon in the Queen's Star Chamber. You will be notified by phone or by a brown shoed square in the dead of night. Decisions may be appealed to the Department of Redundancy Department at our Budapest Help Desk.    Think Franz Kafka.

    And Yes, Theme Camps are eligible for Art Grants !

   Performance Art and Ritual?
   Please, feel free. If there is a particular space you would like to use. Do you need support? Timing? Schedule? Let us know.

   Mutated Vehicular Transport?
        contact: art at wickermanburn dot org with your MVT proposal.
   Yeeesss! We love it. What's more we can do it.
   Four Quarters has graveled roads that form a two mile long loop with turn abouts at each end of the run. Better yet we have a shop. With welders and cutters and lathes and hammers and junk that needs to be attached to a moving home. Convince us that you are a tool user with opposable thumbs and we will share. Bring it out on the setup weekend for a test flight.
   And wait, there's more. Four Quarters can and will store your MVT for next year, because we are sure that the Authorities won't let you drive it home after the transformation. And just because we can.

    Your MVT will have to be permitted of course, and all common sense rules of operation apply. Which means 10 miles per hour, confined to graveled roads, no sharp edges and parked in the MVT impound lot when not operating.
    And you can submit an Art Grant Proposal for your MVT, approved by the same completely arbitrary and venal process as any other Art Grant.
