New page

Artist grants are a way for artists to get materials from Free Geek that otherwise would be recycled or sold at a very low cost. This is in-line with Free Geek's mission as it is promoting reuse and supporting the creative side of our community. Artist grants are overseen by the Hardware Grants program.

==History==
In early 2011, when Safari died, artist grants were proposed as a way for artists to be able to still have access to Free Geek's materials.

==How To Process An Artist Grant==

===Questions To Ask===

*What type of art do you create?
*Have you had any shows or displays of your art?
*Do you have any artistic accreditations or affiliations?
*What type of materials do you want from Free Geek?
*What project(s) will they be used for?
*How will you responsibly dispose of any unused or "retired" materials?

===Reasons to Deny An Artist Grant===

*The person does not seem to be a legitimate artist.
*No commitment to dispose materials environmentally.
*It would take to long to fill.
*They want things we could sell for a large profit--if they want 'em they can buy 'em.

-*They want things we could sell for a large profit.  For example, if they want a lot of motherboards, we probably wouldn't approve the grant, as motherboards earn us a lot of money.  Check in with the Recycling point person (Liane) or the Sales point person (Tony) if you aren't sure.
