So you say $1000 for improving the flow arts? Awesome! So fundtheflowarts.org is a website on a mission.

The mission is as follows:

- advance the prop manipulation-based Flow Arts
- foster local Flow Arts communities
- cultivate a global community of Flow Arts practitioners

With these in mind, they have announced a pilot year of the Seed Fund –this is a grant program that will award small amounts (up to $1,000) for projects that meet these goals. The fact that is a “pilot run” means that its the first time they are offering the grants, as well a learning experience to do it most effective in the future. Of course they can’t just give away millions of dollars so make your grant entry count. Specifically they are looking for the highest potential for the broadest public impact.

The deadline is November 14th, 2011. Grant winners will be announced (hopefully) before Thanksgiving, aka November 24th, 2011.

Download the form

> Click here to download the Seed Fund Application (pdf)

> Click here to download the Seed Fund Application (word)

And once you have it all filled out, you will want to send it to their email, because the form on their site is not working.

I’m guessing that you’ll want to email: info@fundtheflowarts.org , strangely enough they don’t have an email listed anywhere on the site.

Even though the Insphyre kids didn’t get to visit there this time around it doesn’t mean we didn’t spin in Pacific Fire’s honor over the last weekend! :) Heres the first video I have seen surface from this years Pacific Fire Gathering… (Special thanks to Luminara for sharing her video!)

Music by: La Boheme Reverie at the Pacific Fire Gathering’s Main Play Fire Circle Friday night.

Burning Man is one of largest worldwide spinning gatherings. Each year before the man burns, over thousands of fire performers gather, to honor the man by performing for 15 mins of epic awesomeness.

Mario Covic put together this awesome collage from Burning Man 2010. This is what he had to say about it:

“what is burning man?

well….a picture is worth a thousand words….so sit down….strap on your seat belt and see what my words can’t tell you.”

Also, for a 2011 video on burning man… This is the night before DPW setup the trash fence.

Firedrums 2011 was an amazing success! With more people then any other USA fire festival, fire drums I believe it had over 650 people helping make this happen! This year it happened in Navarro, California. It was wonderful getting to hook up with our extended fire family yet again. This was my third year attending. This amazing video was published by Marvin, so great thanks goes to him for sharing it! -Ase Anthony
