PARTICIPATE

Fund a team of multi-media artists from Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti as they travel the globe to promote youth involvement in various art forms, irrespective of race, color, creed, class, nationality, or education. With years of experience in the arts, community involvement, and event organizing, driven by a strong motivation to spread the spirit of our town(s) around, we aim to simultaneously entertain and educate the public. Having fun is of course also a priority. The mediums of: photography, painting, performance, sound, book-making, crotcheting, and collage, will all be utilized and exploited to this end. One of the final results will be a documentary we hope to make educating other young artists and crafters how to promotote their ideas and projects, and if applicable, how to sell their work, internationally.

Please note the modesty of our proposal: $100/mo each to cover all personal expenses, food, emergencies, etc. Absolutely no funds have been allotted for lodging as we have friends abroad. These modesties are also due to our teams aspirations to earn money during the trip, asking for donations after performances and selling hand-made crafts as well as original artworks along the way.
