Luminata Call for Artists and Musicians, Fremont Arts Council!

 

VOLUNTEER   MEMBERSHIP   EVENTS The Fremont Arts Council is providing several categories of grants for 2024 Luminata! Luminata takes place Saturday September 21st at Green Lake in Seattle. All applications are due by August 4th. Recipients will be notified the following week. Artist grants We invite all artists, aspiring artists, designers, lighting designers, and performers to propose art installations, movable creations, and performances for Luminata!  All categories of art are welcome as long as they feature light in some way.  We are looking for art works that can either float on the water or could be installed on the ground or hanging along the sidewalk of the route. Your pitch should include a brief description of your idea (a sketch or inspiration photos), samples of previous work (optional but helpful), and a requested budget (a list of the items that you require and estimated costs). Luminata artist grants generally offer a maximum amount of $1000.  Send your Pitch Musician grants We invite all musicians to propose performances for Luminata! This year, we will feature musicians both as part of the procession around the lake, and as stationary performers at various points along the route. All genres of music are welcome. A lighted component (such as illuminated costumes or light shows) are not required but are a plus.  Send a brief description of your concept (audio samples will help) and a requested budget. Musician grants generally offer up to $200. Send your Pitch Opening ceremony grant We invite all performers to propose a brief (no more than 15 minutes) opening ceremony concept for Luminata this year. This performance would take place at the beginning of the procession along the waterfront – you are welcome to perform on land and to make use of the lake itself if you like.  Our budget for the selected performance is $500. All themes are welcome; in the past, the opening ceremony has bid farewell to summer and welcomed winter. Send your Pitch Art transportation grant Do you have an existing illuminated art piece that you’d like to show off at Luminata? We’d love to have you! We understand that sometimes the costs around transporting art can be a barrier, so we are offering small grants to cover the transport such as renting a truck, paying for gas, or whatever helps you get here!  Email your Request
