I'm in London to launch a huge new project - the Radical Renewable Art + Activism Fund (RRAAF) - at Beaconsfield in Vauxhall tonight from 7pm.
Once set up, RRAAF aims to be a new and autonomous alternative funding scheme for art-activist projects in the UK.
Today we're launching a Kickstarter to fund RRAAF "phase 1" - the initial scoping work with Community Energy Scotland, which will be presented at CCA Glasgow on 17 December from 6pm.
By pledging £5 or more, you can become a "RRAAF Founder"- get all sorts of weird and wonderful goodies and, if you like, become actively involved in shaping and developing the project in the future.
Please read on for details. I really hope you like the idea and want to help make it happen!
Very best wishes,
Ellie Harrison
Public funding for the arts is being cut left, right and centre.
Commercial sponsorship requires us to compromise our values and ideas.
It's time we had a real alternative!
The Radical Renewable Art + Activism Fund (RRAAF) will use a wind turbine to generate renewable energy to fund a 'no strings attached' grant scheme for art-activist projects.
Support the Kickstarter to make it happen!
