Proposal Narrative (required)

Your narrative should include a clear and concise explanation of the proposed work. Please include the following:

a detailed description of the work
specific information about your construction plan
materials to be used (please indicate if you plan to use materials from the T/F Lab and/or other recycled materials)
location specifics. Please indicate the ideal location for your piece (particularly if you do NOT plan to use recycled materials, please indicate which of the location[s] listed above you are interested in). Include a discussion of the limitations and requirements, such as whether the piece is suitable for indoor and/or outdoor spaces, lighting requirements, sound requirements, and the scale of the piece.
longevity. Will your piece be re-usable? How will you construct it so that putting together/installing and taking apart/deinstalling is straightforward?

Please note that if any of the above information is missing, we will not be able to accept your proposal. (PDF or Word only)

Budget (required)

In your budget, please include the following:

materials costs (itemized)
(please note that all hardware - including nails, screws, hardware needed for installation and/or to secure the work to a ceiling or to the ground, etc - should be included in your materials costs)
desired artist stipend
travel costs (if needed)
If you plan to complete the work outside of Columbia and cannot provide its transport to Columbia, please include shipping costs/rental costs in your budget.

In general, the budget for most T/F-commissioned work ranges between $100-$1500 for materials (the majority are on the lower end of that spectrum); stipends and travel costs vary, depending on the scope of the work and the distance traveled, respectively. Please be aware that T/F is a non-profit and as such has a very tight budget; we appreciate all efforts to minimize costs. (PDF, Word or Excel only)

Volunteer/Assistant Needs (required)

Please estimate the number of assistants you will need, including detailed information about what assisting on your project will entail, the number of hours each assistant would work, and whether or not you will need assistance recruiting said assistants. If needed, we can provide skilled volunteers to assist with the creation of the work. Keep in mind that volunteers are available to help with set up and break down.
