Support Women Artists in Venice Biennale Exhibit

Friends!

I hope this message finds you in great spirits! I am writing to share an incredible opportunity and to ask for your support in making it possible. We have been invited to showcase the incredible talents of the Women's LIVE Artist Studio artists at the prestigious Venice Biennale, and we need your help to make it happen!

The Venice Biennale is one of the most recognized and esteemed art exhibitions globally, drawing art enthusiasts, collectors, and curators from all corners of the globe. However, despite its international reach, female artists and artists of color continue to be underrepresented in this iconic event. Our aim is to challenge this status quo and bring female perspectives to the forefront through our Women's LIVE Artist Studio exhibition at the Personal Structures exhibition hosted by the European Cultural Centre- Italy during the 60th Venice Biennale.

To make this exhibition a reality, we are reaching out to kind-hearted individuals like yourself who believe in the power of art and the importance of equality in the art world. Your support, whether through a financial contribution or spreading the word, can make a significant impact on the success of our mission.

To our past collectors, artists who participate in renowned art fairs, like this one, experience an increase in their market value. Additionally, sales at these events contribute to a further boost in their worth. If you have purchased work from one of our exhibiting artists in the past, this directly impacts the value of the pieces you own. Your support in this venture adds significant value to your art collection.

By providing sponsorship, donating to our GoFundMe page or through our fiscal agent, you can directly contribute to covering the costs associated with participating in the Venice Biennale. This includes expenses such as exhibition fees, transportation of artworks, installation costs, promotional materials, and artist stipends (budget listed below). Your contribution, no matter the amount, will play a crucial role in empowering these talented women artists and amplifying their voices on an international stage.

Additionally, your help in spreading the word about our campaign would be greatly appreciated. Sharing the GoFundMe page with your network via social media, email, or word of mouth can significantly expand our reach and increase our chances of meeting our fundraising goal. Together, we can create a movement of support for women artists worldwide.

We understand that you may have questions or would like to learn more about our project. We would be more than happy to provide any additional information you need. Please feel free to reach out to me directly, my information is below.

Thank you for considering supporting our Women's LIVE Artist Studio exhibition at the Venice Biennale. Your contribution will not only empower and uplift women artists but also contribute to a more inclusive and diverse art world.

With heartfelt gratitude,
