Opera In Reach would like to announce “Expanding Our Reach” our GoFundMe Campaign!
We at OperaInReach believe that education is the answer to our issues of equity, diversity and inclusivity in the arts. We occupy a niche in the outreach sector, as we put digital programming first. We believe going digital allows us to reach communities we would otherwise not be able to.
We at Opera InReach acknowledge the shrinking music educational programming in our communities. The TDSB has reduced funding significantly as of this year to arts-focused secondary schools and we have seen a drop of 24% in artist facilitator fees across the board. Lower socioeconomic and minority communities will be hit especially hard with this drop in funding along with the restrictions that COVID-19 will create. Opera InReach is dedicated to filling the void that presents itself here, allowing the greatest reach possible with a digital initiatives and a priority to impact the communities that are most vulnerable.
For our HONE Program (Helping Opera’s New Existence) we have developed a way to engage communities through a combination of pre-recorded material and live engagement through video conferencing.
We are raising money for creation of the pre-recorded portion of our HONE program. This includes recording several 5-30 minutes Sessions and a couple 30-minute concerts. The donations we receive go directly to paying our mentors, hiring our videographer, renting a space and other equipment. Completing this project means we will be able to begin our work in schools.
EXPENSES: *These expenses only cover a portion of our needed fees*
Artist facilitator fee: $6,000
(Your money will go directly to the artists tasked with creating their digital content for the HONE program, as well as their performances in the Digital Concert)
Videography: $3000
(Your money will help fund the expenses for our Videography team)
Professional Consultants: $1000
(Your money will help source out professional resources to further guide our team and students)
Thank you in advance to those who donate. By creating this content we begin creating a new Canadian identity.
Tiers (donations of a higher tier give you the benefit of the previous tiers):
Within Reach: Donation of 1-99 $ - a personal thank you on our website
Greater Reach: Donation of 100 $ + - Access to video of excerpts of our concert portion. This video contains performances by our mentors that will be seen in the school. You will also receive exclusive content and a monthly newsletter.
