Did you know nearly one-third of solo shows in US museums go to artists represented by just five galleries? So why does diversity matter? Diversity is like a breath of fresh air in a stuffy room. It brings new ideas, new perspectives, and new ways of seeing the world. It challenges us to think differently, to question our assumptions, and to open our minds and our hearts to new possibilities. Diversity isn't just good for artists, it's good for all of us. When we embrace diversity in the art world, we're not just enriching our cultural landscape, we're building a more inclusive, more vibrant society for everyone. That's why ODBK matters, that's why your donation and your support are paramount now more than ever. #ODBK #nonprofit #contemporaryart #fyp #donate #diversitymatters #DiversityAndInclusion

Our Who I Am Foundation volunteers in ALBUQUERQUE and SANTA FE are seeking a photographer/videographer willing to donate their time to capture our efforts in the community! Visual aids drive our volunteer recruitment, donations, and adding new community partners! We understand photography is a craft and much time is put into it. We are not expecting or asking photographers to come out to every project or event we have, simply when able and available. Benefits of doing photography for a non-profit organization: -Positive Exposure. No, donating photography isn’t about exposure. It’s about helping a cause that you believe in. But with that, you can also gain exposure. -Access. Offering to do work for non-profits can get you access to people and places that you wouldn’t normally have access to if you were just some person who showed up with a camera. -Project ideas. Creative slumps happen to everyone. Asking a non-profit if there’s anything that you can help with will not only give you a specific purpose and a project to do, but it could also spark ideas for other projects that may end up defining you as a photographer. -It just feels good. You did your part to change someone’s life for the better, and without the need for financial gain. That’s reward enough. Plus, you play an integral role in helping to create change in your community, simply by showcasing your work and our efforts simultaneously.

Vital Arts exists to address the multifaceted challenges that artists face today, but we cannot do it alone. We need your support to continue this critical work. Your donation, whether $5, $50, or $500, helps more artists pay their rent without sacrificing meals. It supports city-wide policies that value artists, provides resources for arts professionals, and fosters mind-changing conversations with stakeholders. Bit by bit, we are building a thriving arts ecosystem. Bit by bit, we are improving conditions for every artist, arts worker, and resident with a system of care and a big-picture approach. Bit by bit, we are creating a world that truly values the arts as vital. https://lnkd.in/gpyYdcjk

What does your grant application and Michelangelo's 'David' have in common?... They are both works of art ?? To the untrained eye, a well-written grant application might seem like just that. But behind the final piece there is a whole craft that's gone into it. You see, for me, the writing process - whether it's for a grant application or something else - is like a sculpture. First you bash out the main shape. It doesn't look like anything yet, but you've got all of the materials there, out of your head and ready to work with. Next, you need to refine the shape - make sure you argument is going where it's meant to and that everything flows. You can see it coming together now. So this is when you get out those finer tools and carve out the details. Slowly, and carefully you bring those words into count, hit the target points, and shape and polish your answers to perfection. #Fundraising #GrantWriting #Charity #Nonprofit
