help me get to my artist residency at chautauqua!
Donation protected
This summer, I was so excited to find out that I had been accepted into my first artist's residency at the Chautauqua School of Art, and on a full scholarship! The scholarship covers room & board, a meal plan, and the full tuition costs! However, I cannot afford to pay for transportation to get there.
I work part-time during the school year at the school library, but this is only enough to help me pay for basic necessities. I have been applying to try and get a summer job during the short time frame between mid-May and June 22, the day my residency starts, but to no avail.
My mom is a single mom and she works a full-time job as a surgical assistant from 9 - 5, Monday through Friday with overtime almost everyday, and has recently got a second part-time job for the weekend assisting the elderly. She's my rock and has helped me tremendously, but she was just able to get some vacation days to visit her family in Indonesia this month, which she only gets to see every 3-7 years. Her hometown, Palu, was affected last year by weeks of earthquakes and a tsunami. She has been fundraising for her town this past year, and I want her to be able to enjoy her time with her family and take a break from helping me.
My partner has also been a great help and has been so supportive and loving, but I also want to take this burden off his shoulders.
This is my last resort, and I would greatly appreciate any help at all. I think this residency would benefit me tremendously and it is an opportunity that I definitely do not want to miss!
The $600 will go to a round-trip flight, transportation to and from the airport, art supplies, and basic living costs during the time period of now until my residency.
Anyone who donates $20 or more will receive some artwork from me! Here is my website: wadiah.cargo.site And some of my illustrations: twitter.com/witchwadiah/media Please email me your address ([email redacted]) or message me on social media if you are interested.
Again, I appreciate any help, small or big. u are making my dreams come true :~)
