Merit Based Art Funding
Application
The Bisbee Arts Commission is charged by the Mayor and Council to make merit
based recommendations to the Council regarding the funding of eligible art based
projects. The goal is to enhance the arts in the Bisbee community and support a
representative cross- section of each of the following artistic disciplines:
1.
Visual Arts: Painting, Sculpture, Fiber Arts, Photography etc.
2.
Performing Arts: Theatre, Live Poetry, Puppetry, Spectacle, Dance, etc.
3.
Music/Film Video: Concerts and Recorded Media.
4.
Arts Education and Children's Art: Classes, Demonstrations,
Workshops, Displays etc.
5.
Bisbee Arts Promotion: Programs for Artist promotion, exposure
and encouragement.
6.
Public Art: temporary and permanent.
There are three steps to the funding process:
1.
Fill out the application which includes three simple parts:
a.
Your personal information.
b.
Project description
c.
Budget
You can download this application form or pick up a packet at
Bisbee City Hall.
2.
YOU MUST PROVIDE 8 COMPLETE COPIES AT THE TIME OF
SUBMITTAL
3.
Submit a final report within 30 days when you complete your project.
Requirements
1.
The primary audience for the work must be Bisbee residents.
2.
The project must stand alone as an artist endeavor aimed at a public
audience. This program would not pay to provide artistic entertainment for
a non-artistic industry convention or event.
Priorities
Children's programs.
Programs that build the health of the entire Bisbee art community.
Free public access to Bisbee residents.
Public art.
Considerations
Size of your audience. The more Bisbee residents that get to enjoy your project
the better.
Artistic merit. Tell us why/how your project will enrich our community
artistically.
Will your project have long-term impact or be on-going?
If
your project will continue into the future, do you have a plan to
make it
financially self-supporting? Please explain how.
What other financial, material, and personal support have you enlisted to help
make your project a success?
Will your project be possible without City funding? What if you are not granted
the full amount you are asking for?
The Budget you outline may be the largest deciding factor in the success of your
application. We need to clearly understand how, why, and to what effect this public
money will be spent. Spend the time to figure out how much each line item in
your budget will really cost. Overestimating your budget may hurt your chances, but
under budgeting is a more common error people make in applying for grants. A clear
and
realistic estimate for what you need has the best chance of getting approved
-
there are other funds out there! The best applications have more than one means of
support.
Final Report
Included in the application is a Final Report form. This is a description of how your
project went for the BAC's records. We want to see that your project was completed
and
how you actually spent the money. This is a critical step to insure that these
public funds are being spent as they were intended. Failure to submit a complete
final report within 30 days of project completion will disqualify you from
applying for future
City funding.
Merit Based Art Funding Application - You must bring 8 copies of all
completed forms to be considered.
