Dear Valued ACW members,
- ALL MEMBER MEETING. Our October Event is closer than you think! Many have been working like maniacs to make this event EVENTFUL ; / 0Please attend on July 14, 2018 at 12:30 at the Eastside Food Coop.
2551 Central Ave NE, MPLS, MN 55418, (612) 788-0950, http://www.eastsidefood.coop/
Come early and buy a delicious lunch! They are providing their fabulous meeting room free- let’s make it symbiotic for them. PLEASE RSVP TO drb@bridgescreate.com. Please respond either way. - I am pleased to announce that we received a Minnesota Humanities Center Grant. Congrats to grant writer Laura Mann! This grant funded some artists and some infrastructure. We still need your to help seek funding for our event. See who still needs support below. Click on Learn More for details handout.
- Grants are very difficult at this time and we are turning to other fundraising methods. One strategy is to ask sponsors to support certain aspects of the event. The sponsor will receive recognition on the program and on the website and anyone who sponsors over $500 will be invited to the Traditional Seafood Feed ( AKA Shoa’ Dina’) hosted by native Mainer, yours truly. See what we still need following our Artist Listing below. The Task List is also attached. We welcome feedback and any ideas you have!
- Welcome to new members Simon Hassis (supporter), Liz Loeb (non profit partner), Mark Teresa (topic expert), Veronica Quillien (topic expert and Nikki Storebo (writer and nonprofit partner), Youth Advisory Board members Skyler McBernie, Elena Vaughn, journalist Nick Cocchiarella (who will be writing articles about YOU!) and volunteer accountant and clay artist, Liza Ferrari.
I would also like to welcome Bob Trench and Anton Treuer to our See. Say. Do event. They will be hosting an event on October 13 focused on Historical Trauma with discussions and a showing of the award winning film Dodging Bullets. film http://dodgingbullets.org/in-the-news/
- Ben Swenson-Klatt has an open call for the Pop-Up Night. This is an opportunity for performers to present a 5-15 minute presentations. Send to your friends! App here. https://www.arttochangetheworld.org/call-for-pop-up-participation/
- Be a STAR! We are having success with our Instagram account and other social media. We have been featuring all of you. If you are not on Instagram start an account and follow us! #arttochangetheworld . Many thanks to Layl who has been doing a wonderful job on our PR. She asked you to create a short video to post on our social media. If that seems daunting- please consider preparing a short 30 second provocative statement on your topic and Ben can record you at the All Member Meeting. For example, here is mine:
Hi. I am Barbara Bridges from Art to Change the World. My topic is “Recovery”. Question for you: Can addicts “ Just Say No?” I say “no” to that idea. It is cruel. Over 90% of addicts are self medicating for mood disorders great and small. Come to our See. Say Do. Event in October and discuss this and other provocative and intriguing questions.
