In August we had the pleasure of talking at you about our upcoming art project: The Nomadic Art Gallery, which is being launched today and our goal is to raise NZ$9900. This art gallery on wheels will hold multidisciplinary artistic events, shedding light on local artists and communities and pave the way for unconventional artistic exhibitions, workshops and cinematic screenings (official video). Supporting our project is simple, transparent and reliable:
1. Create an account and login on Boosted (fundraising platform)
2. Go to our page on Boosted (here is the link)
3. Press the donation button (indicate if you want to be anonymous) and follow the instructions
Once finished, this conceptual public artwork would be reflected upon and, ultimately, auctioned. With the gathered funds, we intend to create a similar space in Belgium where Contemporary Pacific Art, which is hardly accessible to Europeans, is physically promoted. By following our adventure on social media (Facebook, Instagram and Youtube), you will be kept informed of the project and its progress.
