Did you attend Artist No Project Grant Training Session? PROJECT/PROGRAMTell us about your project or program INFORMATION Title of Grant Funds for material: vintage, silk and cotton to produce new sladesign Request collection Grant Amount 2,200 Requested Project Start Date December 13 and 20, 2019 (no earlier than July 1, 2019) Project End Date (no December 31, 2019 later than June 30, 2020) DocuSign Envelope ID: D2DFA55F-E7B9-42C3-94E1-093C863FB952 Project/Program The funds I am requesting are to buy material: vintage material, silk Summary and cotton in order to create a new sladesign collection. sladesign is my clothing and accessories line. I design and produce hand made one of a kind pieces from vintage, recycled materials and new materials such as silk and cotton. Many of my clients keep their pieces displayed on a wall, as a painting. They are all unique pieces of clothing or accessories. Because the clothing and accessories are unique, I do not sell them at conventional stores or boutiques. I design and produce a Fashion- Art Show for each new collection and have the collection to view, try on and purchase after each show. I have had 10 sladesign Fashion- Art shows since 2007. The last one I had was a pop up Catwalk Art Show at The Carrack Modern Art in Durham in 2017. Many community members and past clients have been asking when I will have the next sladesign Fashion-Art Show. I will be collaborating with Ron Liberti on some of the pieces. He is a local Artist-Designer-Silkscreener and Musician. He will provide a King Size cotton silkscreened sheet that I will chop up and sew into skirts and dresses with additional silks and cottons. Liberti will also have silkscreened Art Work to display and sell during and after the show. There will be two opportunities to see the show: December 13th at The Station, during the Carrboro, Chapel Hill Art Walk and the following Friday December 20th at Smelt Art Gallery in Pittsboro. The music at The Station will be provided by Liberti spinning records and at Smelt we will have a live band, probably one of which he is a member. At both venues, I will curate and hang the show according to the space. After the show at Smelt Art Gallery, the show, Liberti's art work and my collection will be on display and for sale until the end of the year. Community Impact Both Orange County and Chatham County will benefit from this amazing show. People will be exposed to a non-conventional Fashion-Art Show with hand made one of a kind pieces. I will give a free sewing workshop (maximum 10 people) at Smelt Art Gallery to learn how to upcycle an ugly t-shirt or make a skirt out of a shirt. This will take place Saturday December 28th from 2pm-6pm. People interested must bring their own sewing machines and materials. DocuSign Envelope ID: D2DFA55F-E7B9-42C3-94E1-093C863FB952 Artist Experience I have designed and created 10 Fashion-Art Shows since 2007. 1 will highlight a few...and you can see the rest on my resume. August-Carrboro Greenspace, a classic southern house with a wrap around porch. I had the models dress at the windows creating a shadow show for the public seated in chairs on the front lawn. Great success, about 250 people attended. The People's Channel filmed the event. It also included a Retrospective Art Show of my work in the living room of the house, open to the public after the show. November-The Cat's Cradle...again success with 250 people. My husband constructed a catwalk that attached to the stage of the Cat's Cradle, amazing! 2008-The Southern Rail's Station. Live musicians, Mark Wells on piano and Peter McLamb on Sax, success. 2009-Durham Belt Arts Cotton Room, 250 people. I got sponsorship by 3 Cups for wine and cheese. While one of my models went down the catwalk jumping rope in high heels, the Durham Bouncing Bulldogs were doing a shadow show behind the scenes. See video link / @ 9 minutes onward is grand finale when I open backstage to public 2010-EI Pobre Diablo in Quito, Ecuador. Again my husband built a catwalk, great success. I was interviewed on National radio minutes before the show started. I showed again at El Pobre Diablo in 2015 with a substantial amount of new paintings and drawings. I had a half page interview in National Newspaper. 2017-The Carrack / Catwalk Art Show. Success. PROJ ECT/PROGRAM Please fill out the charts below with your project's expenses and BUDGET income.
