Good morning!
I co-chair the upcoming
Business Supports the Arts Breakfast, hosted by The Cultural Alliance
(HVCA). I am a fine artist, own an arts school, and as well, create
public art. I write to you, artist-to-artist, with news of funding
possibilities for artistic endeavors by all of us. I'd like to inform
you that the breakfast this year will be of specific interest to
individual artists that now have newly developed opportunities to
partner with cities, towns and corporations to create art motivated by
us, the artists.
Response to The Cultural Alliance's invitation to
attend the breakfast has been astounding this year, in big part due to
the key note speaker, Kip Bergstrom, the Deputy Commissioner of our
state's Commission on the Arts. Not only his commission, but Kip
himself, deeply believe in and recognize the importance of the
individual artist in the big picture of Placemaking, and Economic
Development. His keynote address at the October 29, 2012 breakfast is
sure to spark the imagination and feed the motivation of all of us with
regard to the funding opportunities being made available directly to
artists.
My partner Bruce and I received one of 7 grants
made available to artists by the Commission on the Arts this year,
partnering with municipalities, in the City Canvases initiative. It
has been a phenomenal, creative, innovative experience to work with the
state on this project. I urge all of you as artists to make a point of
attending this breakfast to gain a full understanding of the back story
of the opportunities that await motivated artists that pursue the many
new avenues being presented to our creative community! As well, you
will hear firsthand the definition of creative placemaking and economic
development with respect to the arts.
The cost per ticket is $30. There will be
entertainment, music, an impressive raffle, a most unique, delicious
breakfast menu and the chance to not only be inspired by Kip Bergstrom's
comments but also more knowledgeable with regard to your
own artistic success. You can email me for further information if you
have any questions!
Don't hesitate! You must reserve your place by visiting http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07e69kmr7w876b8301
The breakfast is right round the corner and at this point seating
is limited. I know personally how vital being informed of these
opportunities is, so I hope to see many of you, my fellow artists, at
this event!
