As some of you know, Motion Gallery has been encountering road block after road block this year. We were asked to move out of our space, and then lost a substantial amount of our artists due to downsizing to a smaller space.
We have found a perfect new space to move into though, but we are lacking the funds to get it off the ground. We are now facing closing if we can't come up with the money. We are asking for your help to raise a bit of money to act as a cushion until we get this thing off the ground.
Motion Gallery is a not for profit artist support gallery providing local artists a space in which they can thrive. We promote each artist as much as possible, documenting their artworks online and writing articles so the public can learn about them too.
http://www.motiongallery.ca
Our mission has always been to promote local art, we believe that doing so enriches the whole community and creates culture, and allows artists to grow with our developing city.
You can help by donating anything from $5 to $500, or even $5000! Whazaa!!
The money you donate will go into making sure we can cover our rent for the next three months - while we're in the small space and up until we move into our brand new space in August. Once we're in the new space we should be fine to cover our bills and carry on as we did.
We really don't want to close, with 87 artists on our wait list alone, a bunch of exciting kids classes and amazing art shows and events for years to come, we want to keep showing you what Calgary artists have to offer.
OFFERS
We will give a free painting class valued at $25 for every donation of $100 we recieve. That's 200 free classes. And if you don't have kids, we will give 10% off any artwork over $100.
This is our gallery now. We're doing the best we can in our temporary space but we miss our events and show.
This is what we do best:
Opening receptions and art shows, live art demos, a huge variety of local art and lots of art classes.
Thank you for your ongoing love and support.
