Interactive Art Festival Booth Setup

Hello! My name is Jennifer Perkins and I am fundraising for physical supplies that would allow me to participate in art festivals. I am a public school teacher of 12 years living in Colorado. For the past two years, I've been developing my body of work as an artist. I've been represented by two galleries and participated in four juried shows. The next step in my professional career as a working artist is to participate in art festivals.

My goal is to raise enough money through Go Fund Me and artist grants to purchase the physical supplies I need to get started. Physical supplies include a 10 x 10 tent, display panels, peg board, hanging hardware, signs, tables, table clothes, print portfolios, display shelves, screens for printing, a heat press, screen printing ink, and booth fees.

In addition to selling my personal artwork at festivals, I hope to make an interactive activity where patrons can screen print their own drink koozies or bandanas. I believe it is important the public has access to affordable art as well as creative opportunities so I would like to make a booth where patrons can experience both affordable art as well as a art making activity. The booth supplies for selling artwork plus the screen printing supplies will cost around $4000 to get started. This is just the physical supplies not accounting for merchandise and booth fees which run between $1000 - $4000 depending on the show. Please consider donating to my GoFundMe. As a public school teacher, I do not have the capital to get started with this next step as a professional artist and any help is very much appreciated! Donations over $100 will receive a free print of my paintings "Sea Rocks" or "PNW Fire Tower," $35 value, found on my

Thank you so much for your help and donations!
