So here we are again, at the start of the long process of fundraising for an international project.
Although there has been a bit of a gap between posts, this blog is a continuation of the collaborative projects between ‘my’ group SCI , based in the Northwest of England, and BasementArtsProject Leeds – along with associated artists residing elsewhere in the world.
In a nutshell, we have been offered residences and the opportunity to exhibit in Jamestown, New York in April 2014 and we need to raise the cash for at least four of the artists to go across.
OK. So the reason I am beginning this blog again, is to assist with the fundraising process. As for the ACE funding we received last year for the group to go to Stockholm, ACE accepted my blog as a record of our activities.
Out of the several funding options we are going to try, the first one must be submitted by 4 September. We have therefore asked all members of the group to submit their CV’s and proposals by 20 August, so that we have time to collate them and add abridged versions to the funding application.
As of today, less then half of the group have sent their information.
