it's still on

We finally got our E-mail campaign launched today (you may be on our list) so I'm reposting this to generate donations, interest, etc. Please forward this info to as many folks as possible! From now on there will be a permanent link on the right side of this blog. We collected $222 during our soft launch! http://carlagirl.net/cadre/cadreartgrant.html

We've all been there: asked to be in a show but can't afford the printing, framing or shipping; are in a show but there's no money for a catalog or other permanent documentation so our work goes up, comes down, and disappears in a month—art production costs money!

So we got to thinking: what if we solicited $10 donations to give bi-annual grants to artists? After all, only 100 $10 donations would result in a $1000 grant—that's less than a dollar per month (but you can give as much as you like)!

We believe this grant will ultimately be sustained through the kinds of small donations that most of us can afford to make year after year.Our goal is to make positive, sustainable change in the art world using different models of support.

We accept any and all donations year round and deposit them into a dedicated account. All money that is donated will be given as grants to artists, up to $9999 per grant.
