Project Proposals

All projects were unanimously supported! This support is for the Glitter Renaissance (GR) group to do more investigation into their proposed projects.

ACW has some money but needs Glitter Renaissance (GR) project managers to try to fund most of their projects with grant money. Easy to get using non-profit ACW as fiscal agent.

“Fall is too soon for your projects” – Barbara

Lauren

Ideas: Young Artists Short Film Project and Neurodivergent Artist Project

Both sound like a good idea though Barbara asked if she is sure she has availability to work on two. She enthusiastically said yes of course.
There can be liability issues and ACW can’t always pay participants so it’s good to think about finding funding options instead.

Alkemy

Idea: Paint to Process – Virtual meetings using Discord. Paint and talk about childhood trauma.

ACW should be able to find this
Lucie offered her studio at Solar Arts for a physical location
Alkemy and Collin can work on starting a Discord for ACW where this project can be hosted from
Can start this project soon as it’s mostly online and doesn’t cost too much

Frances

Ideas: Royalty Exhibit (Drag show) and Strength in Numbers (Disability Fair)

Disability Fair
- Make it more than one day
- Reach out to Rise Ink
- Jeff Longton is a braille artist you should check out
Drag Show
- Theme could help draw people to the event
  - It can be as simple as “Difference is good”
- Have a drag makeup workshop to help fund this

Rose

Idea: Sensory Art project focusing on autism/special needs individuals

Contact Layl
- Look into North Suburban Art Center
  - Probably wouldn’t charge to use their space
Reach out to Katie
- Cow Tipping Press has neurodivergent writers
- Could be your couch for this project

Briauna

Idea: Heal and Chill – A festival where people can make art and be together as a community

Has experience with a similar event
- August 21st is when one of her events is happening
Add more art to this
- Photos of art
- Include ACW artists
Briauna asked about paying artists vs giving a care kit.
- Barbara said ACW wants to pay artists but sometimes a card kit or incentive of some sort works because we just want to support the artist and say thank you

Collin

Idea: Educational art project on edible/helpful plants

Check out the East Side Food Coop
Connect with Native people as they have good knowledge of helpful plants
Global Market is doing a Native good event
Lucie can connect you to a seed artist
Connect with Briauna

Offers to help discuss Development Topics.

Layl – 3. Earned income

Deb – 4. Serve all members

New Name

The new intern/ divergent group was looking for a name
A vote was held, people agreed on an idea
Glitter Renaissance (GR) will be what we call our group
