How It All Works
The Fundraiser accomplishes two key things: First, we alchemically convert a small sum of money that would have been tiny art grants for Alchemy artists into much larger sum through the magic of party. Second, YOU get to decide who gets funded. For those who are following along at home, that means you are much more immediately involved with Alchemy and the artists there.
Here is how it works. You come to the Fundraiser and pay your $10 to get in the door (except the kiddos!). You get a paper ballot, where you can then allocate each of those $10 (in whole dollar amounts please!) to the artist or artists of your choice. You walk around, look at the rockin' displays of the artists who want your cash, while listening to awesome burner music and sipping your drink. Talk to the artists, figure out who you want to support. Go ahead, ask them questions! They may even invite you to get involved with their project, if you are interested. Then, once you've decided who should get your money, make notes on your ballot, and then take the ballot back to the people at the door. We'll have charts there on the walls, which will show you how close each artist is to their requested fund amounts. The charts will update real-time, as each ballot is handed in. Then, enjoy the party! There will be all kinds of entertaining stuff going on.
Please submit all ballots prior to 11pm! Don't worry, we'll remind you!
Remember, every single dollar that is made at the Art Fundraiser goes directly to Alchemy artists who want to bring projects to Alchemy 2009. We will do our absolute best to cut off door entries at the point that all artists get their requested fund amounts. If, however, people still want to get in, any additional money will go toward paying for the Fundraiser, so that we can spend the money we had allocated for the Fundraiser on other Alchemy infrastructure needs.
Display Your Art!
Not seeking funds for an Alchemy art project this year, but you still have fantastic art you'd like to display? Bring it! We will have an entire gallery room set up just for showing off all our Alchemy artists! If you are interesting in showing your art at the Fundraiser, please contact art@alchemyfestival.com, and let them know generally what you're bringing. Plan to come by to set up your art at 3pm on June 27th. We can help you with displays, if you need help.
Fire...
If you are going to bring fire toys or fire art to the Fundraiser, please contact art@alchemyfestival.com and let us know your plans. We welcome all fire performances and fire art – just please give us a heads up since we'll be in town.
