Hi, my name is Sara and I'm a painter. I'm fundraising $2000 for my first solo exhibit.

I've been working on developing myself as an artist for seven years. This past year has been the most difficult. I lost my job, my apartment and was hospitalized for 3 months. I've been slowly rebuilding and had a miracle happen -- an exhibition space reached out and gave me a month long show starting September 2nd, 2025.

I need to paint new works promised -- which means purchasing large museum-grade canvases (can cost $200 - $500 for very large canvases) and more quality oil paint (tubes can cost up to $120 or more per tube). I have to rent a space to paint the works in ($200 - $500), and then I want to take nice photos and print out a high quality promotional postcard. Then there are small costs like transporting the works to the exhibition space, etc.

I have to paint these works in 2 weeks time! I need your help desperately.

It's NYC! Every dollar adds up!

Anything you can give will help. I'm so grateful for your time and attention.
