3rd Annual Cultural Visions Art Show - SUCCESS



Combination for success: 1200 people, 650 feet of art
work, 100 artists, 45 volunteers, 30 performers, 5 restaurants and 1 amazing venue.
Global Awareness Project's Cultural Visions Art Show held at 2001 Nightclub was our biggest event to date. Raising close to $9,500 and selling over $5,000 in art work it was our highest grossing fundraiser yet. In these questionable economic times we have to ask ourselves how this was possible? You cannot measure success in dollars only and the GAP team seems to be constantly asking the following questions:
How can we measure community? How can we measure the strength found in support? How can we package the freshness in forming new friendship and the joy in re-connecting with old ones? How can we brand the willingness to put in hours of volunteer work to transform something bare to something beautiful? These questions and more were answered the night of the show but how do we keep it going? If you have a heart for service and art and want to get more involved with Global Awareness Project please contact us at info@theglobalawarenessproject.org
Thank you to EVERYONE who helped make the
show a success!!!

GAP's 2010 Calendar Application for Artists

Dear Artist,

We are pleased to present you with an opportunity to be a part of Global Awareness Project’s 2010 non profit promotional art calendar, ‘Synergy.” The Global Awareness Project is a 501c3 tax exempt organization whose goals are to assist in the promotion of non profit agencies through multimedia art, photojournalism and documentary work. GAP has distributed over 40,000 calendars, free of charge to residents of Horry County over the last 2 years. Our calendars have also been given out in over 10 countries all over the world!

The calendars showcase a different non-profit each month with a short statement about who they are and what services they provide to the community. The entire calendar connects the residents of the Grand Strand to their events, fund-raisers and holidays by highlighting activities throughout the year.

Our board of directors has made some exciting changes to the calendar for 2010. The theme this year will be “Synergy” and will showcase collaborations between artists and non-profit organizations. The GAP team has had extensive conversations and team building exercises all focused around the idea of building relationships and how to get more people involved with our project. After the success of several art shows, local artists keep asking us how they can get more involved. We have created an opportunity right here to experience a “Global Awareness Project.” GAP’s “Synergy” Project will highlight the positive impact of collaboration.

Attached is an artist application to apply to be chosen for the calendar project. A special committee outside of GAP’s founders and Board of Directors will select the 12 artists chosen to participate in the calendar. The calendar committee will pair up an artist with a non-profit organization. Selected artists will be required to put in 10 hours of volunteer time with the said organization to learn about their mission and how they serve our community. The artist will create an art piece especially for the non-profit. The piece will not only be the selection for the calendar but will also be donated back to the organization after it spends the 2010 year as a collection being shown around the Grand Strand. The calendar launch, in October will also be a special art show for the twelve participating artists in the calendar project. Each artist will have up to 20 feet of wall space to showcase their work.

On the following page you will find an application to help us become familiar with you, your work and why you would be a fit for this project. Please complete the questions and email it back to info@theglobalawarenessproject.org no later than May 31st. There are twelve opportunities to be featured in the calendar. Our board will meet and review the applications received. The selected artists will be notified via email by the end of May.

GAP's 2010 Calendar Application for Non Profits

Dear Non Profit Organization,

We are pleased to present you with an opportunity to be a part of Global Awareness Project’s 2010 non profit promotional calendar, ‘Synergy.” The Global Awareness Project is a 501c3 tax exempt organization whose goals are to assist in the promotion of non profit agencies through multimedia art, photojournalism and documentary work. GAP has distributed over 40,000 calendars, free of charge to residents of Horry County over the last 2 years.
The calendars showcase a different non-profit each month with a short statement about who you are and what it is you do. Your contact information is also made available. The entire calendar connects the residents of the Grand Strand to your events, fund-raisers and holidays by highlighting your activities throughout the year.

Our board of directors has made some exciting changes to the calendar for 2010. The theme this year will be “Synergy” and will showcase collaborations between artists and non-profit organizations. The GAP team has had extensive conversations and team building all focused around the idea of building relationships and how to get more people involved with our project. After the success of several art shows, local artists keep asking us how they can get more involved. Truly bringing together art and service is not a new concept. Several local artists such as GAP board member Caitlin Beidler and folk artist Kim Dawn have been giving back to the community through art for years. GAP’s “Synergy” Project will highlight the positive impact of collaboration.

Local artists will have an opportunity to apply to be chosen for the calendar project and will be teamed up with a non-profit agency. The artist will be required to put in 10 hours of volunteer time with the said organization to learn about their mission and how they serve our community. The artist will be able to create an art piece especially for the non-profit. It will not only be the selection for the calendar but will also be donated back to the organization after it spends the 2010 year as a collection, being shown around the Grand Strand.
