Sponsorship Opportunity for UnityHenge -A Social Justice Art Installation and artivist Lennée Reids family.
Dear Community,
I am reaching out to share an exciting life changing opportunity to support a transformative art installation, UnityHenge, which aims to promote social justice, understanding and community engagement through the power of art.
UnityHenge is a unique blacklight art installation that seeks to illuminate the voices and stories of marginalized cultures and communities. By combining vibrant visuals and ancient symbolism with thought provoking themes, I aim to create an immersive experience that fosters dialogue, understanding, and unity among diverse audiences.
I have been working on UnityHenge since 2021 and received numerous grants to expand it including Labor of Love, Fremont Arts Council, and Tacoma Light Trail grant.
Grants to make and show art for employed safely housed able bodied people, of which I am not.
The thing is I have the passion to bring awareness to all the issues and cultures in UnityHenge because they are me. I need to get these messages out because I am a disabled neurodiverse mentally ill impoverished single mom that is just trying to do what I can to make this world a little kinder and more aware.
But I can't afford to. In fact my family has not been safely housed in years and has experienced domestic violence a lot over the years from not being safely housed. I'm trying to do this project as a way to make a way for my family. I need your support to make it now. Your donation would provide storage, transport, panels, art supplies, assistants for installation setup, guest artists and pay me to continue so I can get off assistance be housed and safe for 3 months. It is really dire that we get this funded and my family safe now.
The 12 panels completed: Alchemy, abortion rights/feminism, Missing and murdered Indigenous women MMIW, In Memory, BLM Justice for Yvonne McDonald, Tree of Life, plant medicine, ; pause for mental health and 22 too many veteran suicide awareness, sacred medicine, disability awareness/ braille panel, rainbow infinity neurodiversity, UnityHenge Pagan moon and star, etc.
Many more planned to make a circle of 30+ panels, like Stonehenge: Honeycomb pollinators save bees sponsorship panel, Yin yang Asian symbols, trans rights, Pyramid & skull Latin America, Irish knot, Domestic violence, India Goddess, Polynesian Canoe paddle Aboriginal, Salmon & Orca, Land back & Residential schools, Prison abolition, School shootings weapons of war, Downs syndrome genetic disorders DNA, sports & Head injuries, Peace sign, Housing & inflation
Spay and neuter dog and cat, Trafficking, Discrimination, Alcoholism drugs and abuse, Distracted and drunk driving, etc.
I am currently seeking sponsorships to help bring this vision to life. Your support would not only contribute to the success of UnityHenge but also align with meaningful causes that resonate with many individuals and communities.
Sponsorship opportunities include:
- Financial contributions to support installation costs like wood, paint, transport and storage.
- In-kind donations of materials or services. I am still looking for a digital artist to make products from UnityHenge which is an odd dimension for that so I need assistance. The panels are 8 foot tall plywood and tapered and 4 people haven't gotten the pictures right for products to sell.
- Hosting a showing and fundraiser for a new panel with your cause or culture! I have 18 more panels planned so it makes a circle like Stonehenge. Let's include your organizations mission!
- Promotion of your brand as a sponsor through our marketing efforts. UnityHenge gets many in person impressions at showings. Show you care!
Your involvement would be life changing to my family and demonstrate your commitment to equality, understanding and support of traumatized disabled autistic people.
This project is produced by Lennée Reid a queer BIPOC neurodiverse disabled impoverished single mom and survivor based in the Pacific North West that has been an active poet artist and activist for well over a decade
I believe that your involvement would greatly enhance the impact of UnityHenge and demonstrate your commitment to social justice and community empowerment.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference through art. I would love the opportunity to discuss this further and explore how we can connect and collaborate as well. I'm on every platform. Reach out!
Please consider giving or sharing.
