Help Stu fund his next Art Exhibition


Hi,
Stu Thomas here.
Musician. But also Visual Artist. I've had only a handful of exhibitions of my art but it's something I've done consistently throughout my life. In recent times I thought it would be good to show it to people. My first solo exhibition was in 2017.

This upcoming show is a joint exhibition with Kim Salmon  (famed musician, my band-mate, AND an artist). It's in April 2021, and will run for a month.

The thing is, playing music is my main job and Covid has shut me down for 2 years. Basically what i'm saying is that I need some help to fund my part of this exhibition. I think it will be a great showing of art. My works are mainly Objet D'Art (art that's not paintings). There's a great variety of works on show, which may appeal to many different tastes. Of course, there's the rock music crossover there too. When you're creative in different fields, the lines get blurred.

The funds will be used for hiring the artspace for the 3-4 week period.
Also, I'm venturing into new territory and getting neon works made of my designs. These are quite pricey, as one can imagine. They also look incredible.  
Other artworks have 3D elements, framing and the costs of the constituent parts are adding up. Other costs involve materials, promotion and catering for the opening.

It would be ideal to receive funding help before April, as the opening for the art show is April 8th.

There are some rewards for people who donate:

*Donations below $50 will be gratefully received and acknowledged at the exhibition

*Donations of $50 will receive a fridge magnet painted with original art (size varies from 6cmx 8cm  to 8cm x 10cm)

*Donations of $75 will receive an A3 print of one of Stu's paintings on 230gsm card

*Donations of $100 will receive an original drawing (small - various sizes)

*Donations of $200 will receive an original artwork on a 5 x 7 inch canvas.

*Donations of $750 will receive an original large canvas painting.

If you are a fan of art and / or music, or a supporter of independent people who are trying to make things happen in the world, I hope you see this as a worthwhile investment.
I've never asked for funding in this way, and I hope you'll be able to see the value in this project.  
It's very much appreciated and will make this art show actually happen!
