Send Lynn to Black Mountain School
Donation protected
A few weeks ago, I applied to the Black Mountain School for one of their two inaugural sessions. At the time, I told them I would require scholarship, not knowing that their scholarships had already been awarded. Low and behold, I was ACCEPTED to the program anyway! But... I find myself unable to pay for the tuition, room and board and travel expenses.
What is Black Mountain School? It is a new, avante garde-style school founded on the tradition of Black Mountain College that promotes collaboration, critical thinking, and experimentation as valuable educational tools in hopes of creating an environment in which the conditions are ripe for a community of artists to experiment and collaborate, exploring and growing a new age of innovative creatives.
Rather than say, "No" to an excellent opportunity for my growth as an artist, one that may well present the ability to teach and share my experiences as well as provide new adventures in learning, I am appealing to anyone who might wish to help me get there.
Not only is this an excellent opportunity, it is fundamentally important to my growth and independence as an artist to stretch my boundaries, try new techniques and exchange ideas with other creatives. I see this as the threshold to a whole new chapter for me as an artist.
I have less than 3 days in which to raise $800 of the goal (tuition) and 5 weeks to raise the remainder which provides travel, room and board and covers incidentals.
If $800 is not raised by Sunday night at 11pm, I will have to decline the school's acceptance and return all funds raised to that point.
Sincere thanks in advance to anyone who feels moved to help, no matter the amount. Every little bit helps and I am truly grateful.
To personally express my sincere gratitude, I would like to extend a signed, 8.5 x 5.5 print of an artwork of my choice by mail to all who donate, regardless of the amount.
