We are starting a series of blog posts where you can watch folks explain Alpha in their own words. Enjoy!

ONE MONTH TO SUBMIT YOUR PROJECT!

It's all fun and games until you procrastinate so long that you miss your project submission deadline for ALPHA 2016.

Advantages to submitting EARLY include:

• Getting access to a groovy materials reuse center to get stuff for your project
• Having our logistics team see how they can coordinate getting your art stuff to ALPHA
• Our "Art Cultivators" will work to connect you with artists working on similar projects
• My undying love because that's one less reminder email I have to send
• Your project gets listed in our event "program" so everyone knows the who/what/where/when/how 

Do you really think you can bring a bunch of wine barrels, wood, tools, and supplies without planning ahead?! Like, strapped to the top of a rental car or something? Be like Johnny B and Tim and let us know your crazy elaborate ideas ahead of time.

So you ask, "Well, how do I go about submitting my project, then?"

You have to buy a ticket first (which I suggest doing ASAP so you don't miss our Tier Two price!). There was a link in your confirmation email that allows you to fill out a form to send us your details. Having issues? Email us at [email protected].

GIVING

"FIGMENT is devoted to acts of gift giving and volunteering. FIGMENT itself is a gift from volunteer artists and event staff, who hope that each participant brings an attitude of giving. Giving does not imply a return or an exchange for something of equal value." - one of FIGMENT's 11 Principles

We are currently in the LAST WEEK for Tier One Tickets!
Prices go up after Tuesday March 1st!

SELF-RELIANCE

"FIGMENT encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on his or her inner resources." - one of FIGMENT's 11 Principles

SELF-EXPRESSION

"Each individual and collaborating group has unique qualities, and through self-expression can offer a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of others." - one of FIGMENT's 11 Principles

INCLUSION

"Anyone may be a part of FIGMENT; no prerequisites exist for participation except willingness to work and play. We welcome and respect the stranger." - one of FIGMENT's 11 Principles

DECOMMODIFICATION

"FIGMENT seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We will not substitute consumption for experience." - one of FIGMENT's 11 Principles
