THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED.
We raised over $1500 for artists!!
As we have met our fundraising goal, please consider redistributing fundraising efforts to benefit Project Charma and the digital creation of their newest work Tides Reimagined. Commissions are now closed, but any donations and purchases received to Artists x Artists moving forward will subsidize the TIDES fundraiser. For more information, please visit Projectcharma.com/tides
Fundraising x Artists is an initiative I've developed to raise $500 for a publicly-funded grant.
This program will use the generosity of artists + art lovers to provide emerging BIPOC creators of various disciplines an opportunity to invest in themselves via a one-time art grant.
Amidst a global pandemic, a call for change and anti-racism, and a landscape in which in-person experiences have gone digital, it is ESSENTIAL that we support our artists and uplift their voices.
For the silenced or spoken-over. For the unsupported.
With this grant, we aim to AMPLIFY.
