Short Summary
On the Spring equinox ( March 21st) of 2014, Liba W Stambollion and Gabriela Garza Padilla will launch a month-long exhibit of fifty four artists starting with a week of events. An eclectic range of International art from around the globe ranging from the Visionary Martina Hoffman to the Fantastic Zeljko Djurovic to the Surrealist Patrick McGrath Muñiz to the Indigenous Luis Eleazar Tamani Amasifuen will form one coherent exhibit of Spirit and Reflection.
Films, music, live painting, poetry and a Mayan Fire Ceremony for Peace, for balance and for Love will take place from Friday the 21st to Wednesday the 26th of March. The exact schedule will be out once we see how much money we can raise. If we raise more than we are asking for it will go towards other acts and showing the exhibit in other cities. (yes, we have offers!)
“Ex-Convento de Santo Domingo”

What We Need
All work
for these non commercial shows and events is volunteer. We are fundraising to
cover basic expenses.
Artwork needs to be
handled by costly carriers like FedEX or UPS rather than the postal service.
This becomes too pricy for most artists to pay the roundtrip transport of their
pieces for noncommercial shows. We would like to fundraise for
the return of the work which will be around 13.000 euros.
We would
also like to cover the airfare of organizers and hotel rooms for all performers and artists participating in the event. Gabriela Garza
Padilla will have to do three round trip voyages to set up, launch and break down
the show. She is single with three children and will need not only her basic
airplane and hotel costs covered but also an au-pair for all three trips.
We have been offered some new AMAZING places to exhibit this show. Also Tom Frouge, head of the World Music Festival GLOBALQUERQUE - http://www.globalquerque.org/ can set us up with some wonderful World musicians if we can pay logistics. I have not covered all these new needs in the budget and from your pledges we still need to remove shipping costs and the Indiegogo commission and charges. We have set a goal to cover the most basic costs so that we have a better chance of obtaining our financial goal and paying 4% comission instead of 9%. But Indiegogo campaigns can raise MORE than what is asked for SO PLEASE PLEDGE EVEN IF WE HAVE REACHED OUR
PLEDGE AMOUNT.
Return of artwork:

13100 €

Gabriela)

breakdown) and setup and breakdown costs

TOTTOTAL: 24500 euros

What You Get
The artists in the group are donating their work in exchange for your help to get this project off the ground. We have books and CD’s, original prints and paintings and much more to give you in exchange for your participation. For the pricier pledges and Divining the Dream, the work is being sold at market price with International shipping included. Not only will you invest in this project through purchasing original artwork but you will also end up with an investment of your own.
We have
such a cornucopia of donations from the artist community that we had to group
pledge gifts by price. Many are one of a kind and once sold they are no longer
available.

If you have
a preference for a pledge please contact libaws@gmail.com to see if it is still
available.
The Impact
In a world where
War, Pollution and Social Injustice have a stronghold, we would like to restore
Balance, Peace and Love through community and the arts.
There is a strong movement of masterly artists expressing pertinent issues concerning consciousness, ecology and social justice. They are often isolated and overlooked. Dreams & Divinities brings together an International community of extraordinary artists in order to make a big colorful ripple of beauty, healing and joy.
We are
offering the public free of cost or by donation, this incredible exhibit of ‘Conscious’
art and events. From the industrial world to the Indigenous world, we form one
tribe of many colors united through Love and the Arts.
Other Ways You Can Help
We know that not everyone has cash on hand to help out, but please SHARE the campaign and let's make this happen!
Many thanks for reading all the way through. Hope to see you in Mexico, Spring Equinox 2014.
