Thank you to 100+ or so people that came out to cheer us on. So many artists kept texting images all evening from different parts of the track. I didn’t realize all those who would be attending. It was an amazing experience. I love our art community. We lift each other and help each other. We will be back to race again next time with more art, stay tuned for details! Feel free to pass this along to philanthropists, seriously we need program funding and the past grant funding system doesn’t work for us. I swing a hammer to pay the bills and make art happen, i do not have enough time or skill sets to be a grant writer that is good enough to get the grants. But, damn it, you can’t tell me we aren’t putting in the work. It’s passion and love for the art and artists. Gatekeepers stop making artists be things they are not, a vibrant city is one growing with economic activity because artists are allowed to be creative. Don’t put road blocks in the way of artists, help them out and you will help yourselves out i promise.
