Short Summary

Hi Everyone!

I was recently accepted into the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture's 2016 session and need your help getting there! 

Skowhegan, an intensive nine-week summer residency program for emerging visual artists established in 1946, seeks each year to bring together a gifted and diverse group of individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to art-making and inquiry to create the most stimulating and rigorous environment possible for a concentrated period of artistic creation, interaction, and growth. This year 2100 artists applied and 65 were accepted. I feel very fortunate to be one of those 65! 

At Skowhegan I will have the time and space to create new work, connect with other artists and participate in a once in a lifetime experience. I want to take full advantage of this opportunity without putting myself into serious debt. I live on a very tight budget in NYC and have to reach out for help in order to make this happen. If you are in a position to contribute to this campaign I would be grateful for your support.

Thank you so much for your consideration. Any and every bit helps! :)

Big Hugs,

Janaye

The Impact

Contributions to this campaign will help me produce new work and grow as an artist. Being surrounded by distinguished faculty and other emerging artists who are looking to participate in a critical and supportive dialogue will be important to me as I seek out new territory in my work. The busy schedule I maintain in my everyday life leaves me with little time for my studio practice, so the generous time and space provided at Skowhegan will also be extremely beneficial for me.

Other Ways You Can Help

If you cannot contribute you can always share my campaign on social media, email, etc! That in itself will be a great big help!
