Vol. 73 - 90-days of Grants and More: Creative Work & The Collective

Today’s Spotlight - Check out our latest blog entry, “All Together Now” - Towards a Collective Fundraising Ethos!

Last week on our instagram, we posed a question that we’d love to explore with you:

What are your thoughts about collective fundraising for Arts & Culture?

We're getting ready to take a major step forward in our efforts to commit to supporting small arts & culture orgs, and we want you to journey with us as we do.

In just one more week, we'll be launching our $20K "We Are One" collective fundraising campaign to support the amazing members of our pilot Collective Catalyst Cohort: Zitlali Creative Consulting, ISPro Academy, ChiBrations, The.BlkRoom, and the Windy City Ramblers.

As we do so, we want to help elevate the conversation around collective fundraising for Arts & Culture sector-wide. What are you trying? What have you learned? What are your questions?

Beyond meeting and surpassing our fundraising goal, we hope this initiative provides a platform for discussion around innovative ways to fund our futures together: to improve, ripple outward, and provide a springboard for other collectives who are committing to themselves and one another to protect the vital institutions, programs, and artists that serve their communities.

Head over to the Building Blocks Blog, to our Instagram post, or to our inbox at admin@bustlingspaces.com and sound off - leave us a comment, send us a note, or meet us in the streets! Let us know how you envision us collectively fundraising for our future in the Arts & Culture Sector.
