Fiscal Sponsorship.....Yayyyy!!!

I have received fiscal sponsorship for this project from the New York Foundation for the Arts. What does that mean? It means that donations to the project are now tax deductible, when they ar made through NYFA. It means that they see this project as one they want to help succeed. It took two rounds of applications, and lots of learning about the process of applying for grants and more, but it is a big psychological boost.

Thursday evening I was in Hartford, at Real Art Ways. This project was one of those in a Slide Slam shown that night. Images of the work of 126 artists were shown. I also was able to talk with a few people about the project....planting seeds....always planting seeds.
