The Official Invitation

09.22.2023

Great news! I met with Sara from the European Cultural Center and they have officially invited me to participate in the Personal Structures exhibition. Now, it’s time to raise the funds and make the work. I have reached out to a few arts organizations, galleries, and my grad school alma mater so far but I think I have to go even bigger. I plan on contacting the companies that make the supplies I use, Delaware art museums and cultural organizations, and applying for national grants and awards. My goal is to raise enough to exhibit in one of the rooms available in one of the palazzos (Mora or Bembo) that is approximately 20 square meters in size, which is close to $40,000. This does not include making the work, shipping the work there and back, promoting the show, or being present for the opening. My hopes are high and I’m maintaining a positive attitude.

My next post will include more progress on the work. The entire series will eventually consist of 40 paintings, however, I am going to focus on 10 for this exhibition and if need be narrow down from there. Stay tuned!

Just a reminder, you can support this project by donating to my GoFundMe campaign . I am offering lots of original works of art to those who donate!
