Support Local Artist's Dream

Hello! My name is Jokotade and I am a Nigerian-American artist living and working in Texas and on December 19th, I was selected as one of the final participants for a juried exhibition at The Total Home & Gift Market taking place in Dallas, Texas from January 16 - 20, 2019. This is an incredible and life-changing opportunity for me to showcase my work and art products to retail buyers with shops from all over the world for an entire week. What's more, participating in this rare opportunity is one more step to fulfilling my childhood dream of becoming a world-class artist and inspiring other creatives to do the same.

This selection of my brand to participate required an immediate response to sign an exhibition space lease. I have completed this very first step but need your urgent support to cover the remaining cost of participation by January 4th, 2019.

My cost of participation includes:  

- Exhibition Space lease and utilities - $3500
- Accommodation for the entire week  - $1050
- Display furniture - $1500
- Transportation & Vehicle Rental - $1000
- Product Barcode Registration with GS1 - $750
- Exhibition Order Taking Software/App - $960
- Product Packaging - $2500
- Catalog Printing - $500
- Moving / manual labor support - $500
- Feeding - $350

Your support will mean so much and will help me demonstrate and inspire what is possible to a new generation of upcoming artists and creatives.

In addition, I would like to show my appreciation to donors who graciously give $250 or more and who wish to share a mailing address with me via my website at Jokotade.com/donor - The print will be an unframed poster and will arrive in a protective flat envelope.

Thank you so much for your support.

Warmly,
Jokotade, Artist
