Rbhu Gives Back - $12,000 in Engineering Services

Engineering large-scale art sculptures is part of Rbhu’s mission, and they feel fortunate to play a part in bringing life-transformative experiences to the world. Rbhu exists because of the community and its vision, so they feel the need to do their part to support them. Rbhu is launching the 2023 Rbhu Gives Back grants, offering $12,000 worth of free engineering services to artists in need.

What they are offering: Structural or mechanical engineering services for any size artwork, which can include analysis, construction drawings, and permit documents, depending on the project’s needs. Offerings will be broken down as follows:

• One full pro-bono project (up to $6,000 in free services)
• One project with 50% discounted services (up to $3,000 in free services)
• One project with 50% discounted services (up to $3,000 in free services)

What they’re looking for:

Any art piece that needs engineering services is eligible for this program. They want to get a good idea of your concept so that they understand how they can best help you. Please answer the questions as best as you can. If they need additional information, they will reach out and ask you.

What you need to provide:

• A completed application
• Visual representation of your concept - this can be anything from a napkin sketch to a 3D model. If you don’t have your idea fully flushed out yet, that’s OK, just let us know in your application
