About The Body Project

The Body Project mission is to create awareness about body acceptance and self-love in a society where beauty standards and body-type bashing are so prevalent.

Katy Wimer of katy daixon photography is working to create a gallery and book and magazines of photographs and personal stories from about 80 women (spanning from all over southern Wisconsin to Chicago, and even a few from out of state: Florida and California) of all shapes, sizes, personalities, etc. that makes a statement on the phrase "body positive." The gallery will be displayed throughout the month of November and the books/magazines will launch November 15th at the Opening Reception of the gallery.



What We Need

We need roughly $5,000 in order to:

1. Cover costs of the prints/materials for a gallery show of 85 photographs

2. Host an opening reception w/ catered hors d'oeuvres at the Cultural Arts Center in Whitewater, WI

3. Maintain The Body Project blog: www.lovebodyproject.wordpress.com

4. Create and purchase up to 50 books and 50 magazines of the project

*Please note, we're bummed that we're unable to provide perks for this campaign as all of the donations are needed to go directly toward the cost of materials so we can make this powerful project more public than it has been for the past year. We appreciate any contribution you can offer and will thank you with a million hugs. <3



The Impact

Your contribution will greatly impact our community, not only on a small scale, but a larger one as well, with regard to body acceptance and self-love. The gallery and books/magazines are a perfect conclusion to a year long project and are needed to display a job well done. Everyone involved in this project is eager to see it in its entirety and share it with their friends and family.

Your contribution will also help make a stronger gallery as we'll be able to purchase nicer materials to print, frame, and hang the photographs and give us the ability to pre-purchase books and magazines to have for sale so others get to have the entire project in their hands, too.



Other Ways You Can Help

If you can't contribute financially, that's okay! Please share the campaign with those you think would be interested, spread the word around about The Body Project and it's mission, the gallery, and the publications. You can also simply cheer us on with positive reinforcement.Indiegogo has share tools, so spread it like wild fire! Thank you for any help/support you can offer. It means so much to us!
