Your support is vital
It’s no secret that with only 10 days to go, Artpace is digitally canvassing for any and all support that will allow us to reach our Kickstarter goal of raising $2,000 for our Chalk It Up 2012 Artist Honorarium. (Hint: Every litte bit counts.)
The trio behind Kickstarter—Charles Adler, Perry Chen, and Yancey Strickler—is briefly profiled in the October issue of Vanity Fair. Three years removed from its launch, Kickstarter is “on track to distribute $250 million this year, more than the entire 2012 budget of the National Endowment for the Arts.”
So what do you say? By sharing the link, we’ve saved you the $4.99 cost of Vanity Fair. Those funds could be used to help Artpace reach our goal.
Your support is vital and we are hopeful you consider donating to our cause. At the very least, come on down to Houston Street on Saturday, October 13 between 10am-4pm for Chalk It Up 2012!
Chalk It Up is a free, family-friendly event that promotes the importance of art education and proudly exhibits San Antonio’s creative vivacity by providing hands-on activities led by professional art educators, as well as interactions with contemporary artists. Artpace remains passionate about giving people an opportunity to explore their relationship with not only contemporary art, but their hometown community. Chalk It Up 2012 is made possible by presenting sponsor Argo Group.
