<div><strong>Help Bring Between Walls and Windows to Life</strong>
</div>
<div>Hi everyone, my name is Jeremiah, and I’m an artist finishing my senior year at UNC Asheville. For my final show, I’m creating a large-scale stage production that explores how the spaces of adolescence such as bedrooms, cars, and parking lots blur the line between safety and exposure. It’s called Between Walls and Windows, and I need your help to make it possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What the Project Is</strong>
</div>
<div>Between Walls and Windows isn’t just a gallery show or a concert, it’s an immersive performance. It brings together:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>-40 paintings that move onstage like performers</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>-Digital projections that shift the atmosphere in real time</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>-An original live sound score composed and performed by the band Dear Uncle Frank</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>-A transforming stage environment that mirrors the fragile spaces of adolescence</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the <strong>Diana Wortham Theater</strong>, paintings will rise and fall from the fly system, musicians will play live, and audiences will be surrounded by changing images and sound. The theater itself becomes an in-between space, intimate yet exposed, just like the places where many of us first learned what it feels like to be seen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why It Matters</strong>
</div>
<div>Adolescence is both tender and terrifying. This project stages that tension and asks:
</div>
<div><strong>How do the spaces we grow up in shape who we become?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What does it mean to be watched, by family, peers, or digital culture?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want audiences not only to think about these questions, but to feel them through sound, image, and space. This project is the culmination of my time at UNC Asheville, but also the first step in my career as a cross-disciplinary artist.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What I’m Raising</strong>
</div>
<div>I’m raising <strong>$5,550</strong> to cover the essential costs of making this project happen at the Wortham Theater, the only venue in Asheville with the infrastructure to support this scale of stage design.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Here’s the breakdown:</strong>
</div>
<div>Venue rental &amp; rehearsal: <strong>$2,600</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Labor (tech crew, sound engineer, ushers):<strong> $1,500</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Paints, brushes, solvents, roofing paper (painting surface):<strong> $500</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Projector &amp; camera rental for visuals &amp; documentation: <strong>$550</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wood &amp; track system for set construction: <strong>$400</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div>Every dollar you donate goes directly toward the materials, labor, and space needed to bring this ambitious project to life. Even small contributions add up and make a big difference.
