Support Aaron Wilder's artist residency project

You can make a difference by donating today to support Aaron Wilder's High Concept Laboratories (HCL) artist residency project.

For my HCL residency I am developing a community-centered work about the relationship of societal expectations to lived experiences from childhood to adulthood. The research consists of a large-scale study of individuals from across the gender spectrum, ethnicity, age, wealth, religion, and political views. I am creating a rigorous qualitative interview guide for one-on-one interviews. Read more about my residency project and artist background on the HCL website .

To encourage people to participate as interviewees, I plan to compensate participants for their time and contributions to the project. Donations in any amount are appreciated. The following tiers of donations are requested and will result in the following gift of thanks from me as the artist:

$50, hand written thank you card from the artist

$100, 8x10" signed photograph from my The Art World , Insidious Progress , Tethered , West Bay , or End Water projects

$150, 12x12" signed, one-of-a-kind mixed media sketch from my Expletive project

$200, 11x14" signed photograph from my Homo Social / Homosocial or Social Boundaries projects

$250, 18x12" signed, one-of-a-kind collage from my Work on Paper project

$500, three 11x14" signed photographs (triptych) from my Imaginary Friends project

Please make sure to include your contact information when donating so I can arrange to send you my gift of thanks!
