Spark Grant Application Information

The Dare Tactic Spark Grant is a $500 grant for generative theatre artists. Spark Grant recipients participate in Spark Artist Take-Overs; a curated 14-day media campaign that provides insight into process, on-going projects, and ideas on artistic creation. 

Spark Artist Take-Overs consist of: 
  • 9 Instagram posts on The Dare Tactic’s Instagram:
              - 1  introduction post. The first posting will be an introduction to the artist and their on-going projects.
              - 8 creative posts of the artist’s choosing. Essentially a posting every other day. These can get creative and really be anything; an image of inspiration                   for the piece, introduction to a character, insight to dramaturgy, a piece of dialogue, a video/ music sample. 
  • 4 Instagram Stories
  • 1 Process Recap Blog
              - At the end of the two week Spark Artist Take-Over we will send The Dare Tactic’s donors and email list a blog style email blast created by the artist.                   This can be an amalgamation of the creative postings or something completely different. A preview into the process, a personal reflection on                                  artistic journey, a short film. All we ask is that this be a beautiful end-cap to the Spark Artist Take-Over.
  • 1 Zoom with a Donor
               - As part of The Dare Tactic’ fundraising campaign to fund Spark Grants, we are offering our Sponsor and Hero level donors an opportunity to have a                    Zoom call with a grant recipient and The Dare Tactic team. Nothing to prepare, just a genuine conversation between arts lovers! We’ll talk about                          the artist’s process,  projects, and enjoy each-other’s company!
