“Nocturnal bandit
I am one with the garbage
Mayhem time my friends
Clever thieving mischief
We revel in the trashcans
Chaos and cuddles”
– Apple Alaina
Be inspired by the 2024 Gateway Burn: Racoon Mayhem!!! How do you plan to manifest mayhem and bring out the trash panda in your soul? What does Raccoon Mayhem mean to you?

Any funding awarded during the two grant cycles is Advance Funding. Advance funding is limited to $500 per project. Project budgets may be fully funded, partially funded or not funded based on the number of projects, the total budget requested, and the amount of grant money GAS has to offer.
Approved artists will have 1 week to sign and return contracts. Checks will be mailed within 2 weeks from the signed contract deadline. PayPal can also be used to expedite receiving funds.
Projects that receive no or partial advance funding may be eligible for GAS grant money via Reimbursement after the burn dependent on ticket sales.
We are looking for community volunteers to act as Art Jurors and help select which art grant applications should receive funding for the 2024 Gateway Burn Racoon Mayhem.
We will need 8 community jurors and four alternates in case of unforeseen circumstances conflicting with the meeting times. The jury will consist of people from the gateway community. Please apply here: https://forms.gle/btKf1bb2Qt4akLTT7
