SPACE at Magnuson: the Artist Trust frontier

The word is out: Wednesday evening is Artist Trust at Large/Seattle presentation night! In case you missed it, here are the details:

Some have RSVP'd from the far corners of Seattle, while others are literally just steps away. SPACE at Magnuson is housed in a building full of artist studios.

*Visitors to artist Heather Carr's studio, as seen during Open Studio day in May 2015.*

If you can't make it to Magnuson Park, please email me at the Contact Me link and I'll put you on an RSVP list for a later ATAL presentation. Looking forward to sharing this information with you soon!

Spreading the good art word: Artist Trust at Large

Every once in a while, it's NOT who you know: it's WHAT you know. How can you find free money -- yes, FREE MONEY -- if you don't know it exists? And if you're friends with someone who needs money, how else are you going to keep us from mooching off you? (Kidding. Sort of.)

I can help with that! Starting in September, I'll be giving talks on artist resources and funding as an Artist Trust At Large speaker. We'll talk about:

grants, fellowships and other awards -- basically, money that doesn't need to be repaid
workshops on art business-related topics
where to go for information like legal issues, emergency help and more

The Artist Trust At Large presentations will be in Seattle, Snohomish, Redmond, Bremerton, Tacoma and in two webinars. And these resources are for artists of all disciplines: visual artists, writers and other literary artists, film/media artists and performers of all kinds. More details as they develop!

Artist Trust auction: the anticipation builds

My artwork is delivered for the Artist Trust auction...

... and now, the anticipation. I can't wait to see everyone's amazing work in person!

Online ticket sales are done, but there will still be a few at the door. You can either bid on the mindblowing selection of art works on display, or you can purchase an art experience. Like lunch with an author...

or a private tour of an artist's island studio. You lucky thing, you.

Besides all the fabulousness, every ticket-holder is buying a little more time for artists to do what they do -- make art. Artist Trust is one of the few organizations that gives grant money directly to artists, as well as providing other invaluable resources and connections.

Gotta go make sure I have a Little Black Dress for the occasion. I should probably scrub the paint off my nails too, so I might be a while...
