ARTIST EXCHANGE FUND: SUMMER / FALL 2019
Support Carlos Gomez participation in Artist Exchange Program in the U.S.!
Our love for dance and culture has brought us together. Whether in Cuba and/or the Dominican Republic, we have witnessed some transformative experiences and dreams come true. Some of our most recent travelers have been so inspired that they want to support bringing one of our current artist collective members from the Dominican Republic, Carlos Gomez, to join us in the U.S. this summer. We believe that travelers like you who have experienced first hand the positive and engaging energy that Carlos has, will help us make one of his dreams become a reality - which is to dance with all of us in the U.S. this summer and fall.
As we begin to research the process to invite Carlos to the States, we have found that there are upfront costs associated with the type of visa needed for the type of exchange we are envisioning. It is a type of visa that Carlos hasn’t applied for before and MetaMovements hasn’t hosted an artist under for past exchange participants. We hope that you can help us cover these costs.
We currently need to raise a total of $15,000 to cover all expenses, which MetaMovements artists plan to offset through paid contracts, bootcamps, event sponsors, etc. The most important expense is the initial $8000 which we need to raise within the next two weeks in order to proceed. Are you willing and able to help us raise funds to help Carlos cover these expenses through our Artist Exchange Fund?
