ARTIST BAILOUT: RENEGADE BOUNTY EXCHANGE'S INAUGURAL DEMOCRATIC FUNDRAISER FEEDS PATRONS WHILE FUNDING NEW WORK BY EMERGING ARTISTS
Performance scheduled during Open Studios -
Sunday, May 16, 2010 from 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm.
Angels Gate Cultural Center proudly presents Artist Bailout: Renegade Bounty Exchange, a community driven way to fund new work by artists during the economic crisis. A collaboration by Elana Mann and Autumn Rooney, this new philanthropic model brings together artists and patrons for a lunch, which is part performance part fundraiser and culminates in the presentation of two micro-grants for emerging artists. The inaugural Artist Bailout: Renegade Bounty Exchange will be held during Open Studios 2010 at Angel's Gate Cultural Center on Sunday, May 16, 2010 from 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm.
Patrons pay $10 at the door for a delicious vegetarian meal and a ballot (or $5 for the ballot only). At 2:00 pm a group of pre-selected artists will present proposals for new original work. Artists who will be presenting proposals include Edith Abeyta, literary magazine Amor Fati, Laura Bouza, Owen Driggs, Liz Glynn, Jabari Hall-Smith, the Journal of Aesthetics and Protest Editorial Collective, Llano del Rio Collective, Anna Mayer, Nancy Popp, Evelyn Serrano, and Juliana Snapper. Due to the wide variety of artistic disciplines represented, these proposals will run from films about sound healers to mapping alternative cultures in Los Angeles; all presented in the spirit of sharing visions and garnering community support. Also on the bill is a special musical performance by Monica Howe (H.R. Muff'n Stuff). At the end of the presentations and performances, ballots will be collected and counted. The top two winning artists will each take home half of all the money collected at the door as a micro grant to be used towards their proposed project.
