- Hello Christopher,
I thought this might be another way to advance our support to "market" the Social Work Center's collaboration with Cultural Fusion.
Will you take a look at this post and let me know if you can share it with some artists or caring individuals who might be interested in contributing? Of course, this also an invitation to you and your organization to participate/contribute :-)
The piece was inspired by the many "business as usual" conversations I have had prior to and especially since starting this series. It is not part of sponsor presentation in the traditional business approach so that is not what I am trying to create. I am intentionally NOT following those "business as usual" rules.
What I am looking for are people to translate each slide by giving voice to them and adding their ingredient(s). I plan to have this completed in time for an event we are working on for Philadelphia where we will be launching a new program for those transitioning from homelessness. We have some very good relationships there that will address the sponsorship side of things, so the purpose of this piece is not to sale anyone on anything it is about expressing through art some ideas about business' role in this art series. Again I point towards "The Black Factory" (by William Pope L.) he used the corporation/business and its related processes as a metaphor and vehicle...Likewise I am exploring business as a concept in the context of art NOT trying to sale business on art.
If you know of anyone that would be interested please invite them to join and facilitate an introduction.
Your time, attention and support are greatly appreciated.
All the best!
