NOTE: REWARDS are all the way at the BOTTOM!
Hello! My name is Chloe Allred . I'm a painter and body positive activist. I am passionate about changing the way our culture thinks about the body. My work explores experiences of body shame, recovery and body joy. I want to take these studies to the graduate level Buy some of my art and you can help me get there.
A little about me: After graduating from Cornish College of the Arts in 2013, I went on to create To Be Brave: Ending Body Shame . I began by addressing my own history of anorexia and used the self-portrait as a way to see myself with kindness. I went on to work with eleven different women who are survivors of sexual assault and eating disorders. Their stories of survival and resilience were incredibly inspiring to me. I have launched large art shows of this work with performers and have brought the show to college campuses. I believe in jump-starting powerful conversations about body image and consent.
To Be Brave: Ending Body Shame led me to co-founding The Body Joy Project artist collective. In collaboration with some amazing artists, I am continuing to explore body shame and body joy.
I'm ready to take these studies to the graduate level at Laguna College of Art and Design . I want to refine my painting technique and research practices with some of the best figure painters in the country. I also want to study pedagogy and gain experience teaching at the college level. Grad school will afford me many opportunities. You can help me get there!
My costs:
My first year of tuition for LCAD is $28,100. My goal is to reach my tuition amount. Any funds raised over my goal will go towards living expenses and tuition for next year. Go Fund Me does take a small percentage, which is why my goal is set at $32,000.
I’m not coming to you first, I’m coming to you last. I’ve applied for many scholarships, and in my hunt, have found that many graduate art scholarships no longer exist. I’ve applied for what I can and now I’m asking for your support. But unlike a scholarship committee, I can offer you lots of rewards. Any contribution you can make is deeply appreciated!
Rewards:
$10: Handmade thank you card
$18: A signed copy of my children's book, Olive
$20: Art Prints (Any piece you like at 11"x14")
$75: Small Portraits
Thank you for your support!
