Write a short narrative describing your proposed project. Describe your intention or theme; What are your ensemble elements (dancers/floats/puppets?); Does your ensemble include music or sound?; What will your ensemble be doing during the parade?  Will there be audience participation/interaction?  How big is it?

Do you plan to use public volunteers in creating your project? What skills are needed to work on this project? Can you find enough people to populate your ensemble/assist you in the project?  How many artists will be directly involved in this project?  How many people in your ensemble? If your project requires many people, how will you find them? How can people connect with you to join your ensemble? (Facebook page? email?) What skills are you bringing to this project? Have you done a similar project before?

Each year the FAC provides a community art studio for the purpose of building the parade. Do you plan on using the Fremont Arts Council parade building space to create your project?  If so, please describe what your workspace needs will be (days/times/activities.). Would you be willing to host a public art skills-sharing workshop(s)?  Tell us more.

Please provide a timeline of your project. Is your project accomplishable? Is it designed for a high probability of success? Has it been designed with safety in mind? Can you find enough people to assist with
building?

Would you be willing to share skills or to build the project with FAC members or the broader community? If so, please describe how you will do this. Do you plan to hold public workshops or classes while building your ensemble?

Please include as detailed of a budget as possible of estimated costs/expenditures for your ensemble/project. (e.g.-breakout estimates for materials, labor, artist fee, equipment rental, travel, or other line items).
