TimeTOBurn Decompression - Art Grant Application Form 
We’re so excited that you’d like to help make our decomp whimsical and wonderful by bringing an art project!

This form should be used for physical art that you want to contribute that you’d like to get a small amount of grant funding for. Expressions of interest for performances and music should be directed HERE

We welcome art that you’ve made and brought to other events! Our goal is to create an event with the burner spirit by helping folks bring/adapt their art to the venue. Funding is intended to help you get your project to the event; it is not intended to cover the total cost of creating a new project.

Please note: we are not able to accept projects with flame effects as this is an indoor event.

Amount: TBD - we’re working on the event budget! If your project is accepted for funding, we’ll send you an email with an offer of funding.

Deadline: Submit this form by end of day Sunday September 21 to be considered for funding.

Expectations: Projects will be set up between 11:00 am and 6:00 pm on Saturday, September 27th, 2025 (25 Commercial Rd, Toronto, ON M4G 1Z3) Make sure you can achieve your setup/installation in this time frame.

Projects must be removed from the venue by Sept 28 at 6pm at the latest. Artists may start taking down their projects immediately at the end of the event at 3:00 a.m.

Assessment Criteria
Your application will be reviewed based on the following criteria:
1. Artistic Excellence (Design & Philosophy)
How original, interesting, relevant, daring, magical, thought-provoking is your idea?
2. Completeness of Design
How well-thought-out is your project? You should provide enough information for us to imagine your creation and how it comes together.
3. Feasibility & Constructability
How feasible is your idea? Will it stay together? You should have a detailed plan for both the technical construction of your project as well as a schedule to ensure it happens on time, with buffers for potential setbacks.
4. MOOP/LNT Plan
Your project should have minimal waste production, and a plan for cleaning any possible Matter Out Of Place that could be produced during the installation or strike of your project.
6. Risk Mitigation Plan
Yeah, we get it. Art is dangerous sometimes. But make sure you have a plan to minimize the amount of harm that can come to people interacting with your project.
