How to organize art grants?
*Talk discussions are moved to https://talk.kiezburn.org/g/SAqXnukc/dreams *
We have set up a Kiez Burn version of the dreams platform here: http://dreams.kiezburn.org/ which @henrik is hosting
This is based on the amazing work from our brothers from Borderland & Midburn who built it out: http://dreams.theborderland.se/
The dreams platform is a powerful way to engage the wider community with the artists and art on the event. In addition, it allows for an easier application process and a more transparent budget distribution system. Our goal for this platform would not be limited to art grants, but can also function as a budget decision tool for more structural topics, such as gate or welfare.
How we build out this platform with questions such as:
- how many votes does a person with a ticket get?
- can someone give all their votes to their own project?
- As a lead of for example water or power, how do I know which projects need water/power and how do I get in touch with the artists?
- Borderland uses something that is called "dream guides", who are people who help projects and artists through the dreams system

With the extremely limited amount of time i have I could maybe support an art grant lead by being a dream guide. I am useless at graphic design and spreadsheets but good at comms, care about fairness and enjoy helping people.

We could use some proper documentation on how to use dreams

I want to contribute at least to the discussion and planning, and give insight how we did it last year.

I was part of dream guiding at Borderland last year. Am interested to do that again, and maybe take a more active role with helping to organise art grants.

that sounds amazing! @bobschi are you free the last weekend of februari (23/02)?

Looks like I'll be on a workshop weekend, learning about intimacy. So no, I'd rather not squeeze anything in; either before that, or after that. But I'm based in Vienna anyway, so I'll happily donate time and support from afar, but I don't see myself going to Berlin in February. I can Skype/Hangout in, but that's always a bit of a PITA.

@bobschi maybe we could connect and have a chat; I lead our AG last year, and there were some insights I wanted to pass on; would really love to hear your BL experience. Are you on FB or Telegram?

Anyone who is interested in art grants, answer here. Together we can shape the Kiez Burn art grants :)
