SaveD SPARKcon
Thanks to the community's support, SPARKcon will return to downtown Raleigh this year! Through the combined efforts of individuals who donated to this campaign and new sponsors, SPARKcon has been able to cover its budget needs.
We are leaving this campaign open for anyone who wants to sustain SPARKcon into the future. All funds donated from August 20 on will go towards the 14 SPARKs (musicSPARK, fashionSPARK, circusSPARK, etc.) that make up SPARKcon. Each of these SPARKs are organized by volunteers who raise funds to support their programming.
SPARKcon is the Triangle's homegrown and beloved creativity festival that has transformed downtown Raleigh into creative playground for the past 13 years! The event uses an open-source planning model so that everyone can engage in shaping the event, and it remains completely free and open to everyone.
All donations are tax deductible! Note - we have adjusted our goal down to reflect some awesome sponsorships that have come in outside of this campaign!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SPARKcon:
> SPARKcon is not produced by the city or an outside event company, it is a program of Visual Art Exchange, a small arts nonprofit in downtown Raleigh.
> SPARKcon is made up of 200 events featuring over 2,000 creative community members.
> SPARKcon was started 13 years ago by Beth + Aly Kalifa of Designbox.
> The first SPARKcon was attended by 250 people. The 2017 festival was attended by over 84,000 people.
> The costs of producing the festival have increased over the years to just shy $84,000, a small budget for an event of its size, but still a challenging budget for a small non-profit.
