Artist Donation Form here
Dear You-
We're writing on
behalf of Gallery Aferro to ask you to donate an artwork or experience to our
second annual benefit, Paper Moon,
this June 19th.
Because of the
generosity, inventiveness and enthusiasm of all involved last summer, Gallery Aferro
is expanding into the vibrant and lasting resource it is meant to be, available
to all.
This year, we
need to ask for your help to make another leap.
In order to:
· Fully
realize promising national and international exchanges
· Launch
the large-scale on and off-site events we have imagined
· Unveil
a highly functional educational program addressing barriers to access
We need to make
Paper Moon, our 2nd benefit, a
success. For more information or to ask any questions about donating or the
event, you can email info@aferro.org
Here are some
highlights from the year since we last sent a letter like this one, asking for
your help:
· We
have diversified our studio workspace program to include 18-month residencies
for one midcareer NJ artist, and a thematic, collaborative residency run on a
“lab” model. In addition, all
studio residents have access to a new blog.
· We
are making even greater use of the New Media Room with a “mixed reality”
project; Newark is Watching, taking place in the gallery and in Second Life,
and the new quarterly Gallery Aferro Independent Film Series, bringing
independent feature length films and filmmakers to Newark.
· We
have been building infrastructure and planning as the life of the gallery goes
on, 365 days of the year, 24 hours a day, in a wonderfully wide variety of
ways.
· We
built the Liminal space, adding a fourth exhibition space for the public to
explore and enlarging the resources we can offer to emerging artists and site
specific projects.
· We
launched Art Shop, designed to support Gallery
Aferro’s stability.
These new
developments, as with all of our programming initiatives, are designed to allow
us to share what we have with the maximum number of people each year. The
constant, throughout our past activities and future plans, is enabling the free
exchange of ideas, what critic Dave Hickey has called “trafficking in nothing
but joy.”
The works will
be showcased in the main gallery, and your name will be honored in current and
future records of gratitude. Our belief in exchange allows the night to
function as a portrait of our diverse extended community. Donating artists
attend the event for free, and have the option of purchasing one heavily
discounted ticket for a guest.
Your
contributions will go a long way.
Please join us!
