Our HatchFund Project fundraising timeline has been extended, to June 10, 2014. Why is this project important to you? We envision the project as a portal for shared knowledge, a resource of best practices, ongoing professional development, and a place for moral support to enhance our collective impact locally, nationally, and internationally.
Phantom Gallery Chicago and Phantom Galleries LA have come together with the
intent to create a network of support for artists and arts organizations that are creating temporary public art installations in storefronts that elicit community response.
We see the Pop-Up Research Station as the portal for documenting our legacy, which we hope will equip emerging artists and arts organizers with the skills they need to advance their creative visions. We have over 20 years of education to offer, developed through our own research and development. We have also learned from artists who have carved out their own niches, built new communities from empty storefronts, and developed monthly art walks.
The Pop-Up Research Station will host a national conversation in the form of an online summit, starting in 2014. The conference and recorded podcasts will be more candid while still including facts and figures. The talks will focus on real discussions about the problems we face as artists and arts organizers in temporary public spaces, the use of our intellectual property, and how it is used to cultivate urban renewal.
Dan Godston, Executive Director of Borderbend Arts Collective, has proposed a project with Detroit artists to open a storefront gallery during the Chicago Calling Arts Festival in October 2014. I have proposed broadcasting and gathering information as a PopUp Research Station, and using this gallery as one of our sites for the online summit. Borderbend proposed a project in partnership with Detroit through the Knight Arts Challenge. Finalists will be announced on Monday, June 16, 2014. Finalists are then invited to submit a full proposal. This is a 1:1 matching grant.
To start the Pop-Up Research Station, we need a minimum of $5,000, which will go toward materials, administrative fees, and travel costs. Anything we raise beyond our minimum goal will go toward additional administrative fees and perk costs.
Please help us realize our dream to create the Pop-Up Research Station by donating today!
Thank you so much for your support.
