Nicole Kurtz's Project Resound Fund
Donation protected
My name is Nicole Kurtz, and I have just begun the Fall quarter of my junior year at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). As an Industrial Design major, I am learning many new things about the power of innovation, and how I can use my abilities as an artist to contribute to the world. This year, I have been continuing to improve my illustration skills, as well as taking classes in Graphic design.
I have been looking forward to new academic adventures in my 2016 course load. In fact, I have recently been invited by one of my professors to join a small selected group of design students, as well as professional designers in an amazing opportunity this winter. From December 4–11th, I have been invited to join an organization called Project Resound on a social design trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. http://projectresound.com/
Project Resound was founded on the belief that artists and designers are called to serve, support and assist in the promotion of beauty, love and justice. It is open to anyone who is passionate about using their creative skills to make a positive difference in the world.
This organization aims to carry out short-term projects that:
• Promote cross-cultural exchange and multi-disciplinary collaboration
• Provide exciting opportunities to employ our talents in the service of others
• Inspire an atmosphere of teamwork, fun and friendship
• Prove that extraordinary things can be accomplished with ordinary resources
While on the trip, I will assist in offering design workshops to students and small business owners in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We will also be conducting RAD projects (Random Acts of Design), where we create something beautiful for someone and surprise them with it before we leave—last year, participants designed a logo for an entrepreneur who owned a small store—he loved it!
I am excited about this opportunity to collaborate with other designers, and to share my talents and skills with those less fortunate than myself. In order for this trip to be possible, I am responsible to raise $2000 before November. This includes my flight, ground transportation, food, lodging, travel health insurance, and interpretative services. My goal is to raise some of the money necessary to go to Rio through your sponsorship.
As a designer, I want to bring change to the world. I know that visual art can go on to inspire for generations and can even spark further innovation. This opportunity to join Project Resound will be a challenge, that I am able and ready to take on. I am ready to inspire and be inspired. As the Project Resound illustrator I will be able to help small businesses expand their network, and use visual art to enhance their brand. The ability to immerse myself in a community and go on to help using design, which is what I love doing the most, is a once in a lifetime chance.
If you would be willing to help sponsor me financially, any donations will be greatly appreciated.
I will be sure to update you all on the success of this project. Thank you all for your love and support!
Sincerely,
Nicole Kurtz
