MERCI for Being Here!
Did you know that galleries often take 50% of an artist’s sales? The costs of being a professional artist add up quickly—materials, exhibition fees, framing, shipping, and continuing education are just the beginning. Artist residencies, networking, and advertising are also essential investments to grow my practice and connect with bigger audiences.
With your help, I can overcome these challenges and focus on creating meaningful work.
With your TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATION, we'll inspire new audiences to step into an imaginary theater where emotions, history, and creativity come to life.
MORE ABOUT THE PROCESS:
Fractured Atlas is a non-profit organisation that takes this process very seriously. All funds are initially held in a dedicated account, and I can only access them for approved art-related expenses. I must submit receipts and provide an annual report to show that your support is directly fueling my art-making process. This ensures that every contribution is carefully managed and used to advance my work in a meaningful, transparent way.
NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
Think of Fractured Atlas as a kind of Kickstarter of Gofundme for artists—but with a tax-deductible perk for supporters! Even a small contribution makes a big difference.
Here’s how your help can be felt:
$10 helps me maintaining this tax-deductible status for one month
$20 is the cost of a high-quality oil brush
$45 helps buy three small tube of professional oil paint
$100 covers the cost of wooden frame (without glass, mat, or back)
$250 allows me buy two high-quality 18x24” canvases
$400 keeps my website—where I showcase and sell my art—alive for a full year
$1,000 will go to a professional photographer to take high-resolution images of my paintings—essential for creating high-quality limited edition prints later on.
As a supporter, you’ll receive heartfelt acknowledgment, with your name (or your business's name) featured on my website, unless you prefer anonymity. For contributions over $100, your name will also appear in my 2025 exhibition program.
