Help Jesús with Residency Costs & Fees

Hi my name is Jesus Hilario-Reyes and I'm an interdisciplinary artist also know as Morenxxx. I am raising funds to cover my Residency fees and travel expenses.

I've been awarded with the opportunity to partake in the Nave Proyecto Residency in Quito Ecuador with a merit scholarship. I truly believe that this residency could be life-changing and would enrich my art practice in very profound ways. Here is more info on the residency.

Nave Proyecto

This scholarship covers 50% of the program's cost (excluding travel expenses). For this residency I will be taking off of work for an entire month and need some assistance covering these expenses. Recently all of my upcoming gigs leading up to this residency have canceled due to a spike in Covid-19 cases. This has left me wondering how I'm going to come up with money to cover these expense. So I'm looking to my community and supporters to help me fundraise.

I've already purchased my flights, along with the equipment I'll need to produce the work I plan on doing during my stay. All I need help with is the remainder residency fee and some extra money for travel expenses while I am there. I've saved up some money myself but I'm afraid it won't be enough. The program begins on January 5th, so I don't have much time to come up with the funds to cover this. If you are willing and able, please consider donating to this gofundme. Or even sharing.

If you donate $50 or more I will gift you with one of my prints of my recent paintings/CGI work. These will be sent out on my return from the residency. I will make sure to reach out to you personally for shipping information.

I also am accepting donations via venmo, cashapp, and paypal:
