This is what is new:<br /> -we got our Facilitation Guide printed and it's super pretty and is drawing a lot of attention!<br /> -StoryLine, the web based story gathering project I'm doing has really begun to hit the ground running. We're getting calls into the skype line every week and I put them up on the website. I've also developed a partnership for Thousand Kites with the Guild of Outsider Writers. They are an online community of writers and are volunteering to read/record the poems we get from folks in the prisons. It's great.<br /> (this is my big project, so it's exciting that it's actually going somewhere) People are starting to comment on the pieces, too, which is the goal.<br /> -I was invited to attend a convening of grantees of the Nathan Cummings Foundation in NYC last week. With about 20 other organizations my boss Nick and I spoke about Appalshop and Thousand Kites and got to share ideas. I felt fairly young and inexperienced there, but it was a fantastic learning experience and I met some wonderful people in the art/social justice field.<br /> -This weekend the gathering continued in Whitesburg when we brought 10 funders to come hang out here. It was wonderful. Yay fundraising strategies!<br /> -next up is our big Calls From Home annual holiday call in radio show, which I'm doing a ton of outreach and organizing for. </p> <p>Super busy time right now. It finally feels really good to be here.</p> http://digitalartscorps.org/node/1390#comments fundraising story gathering Tue, 25 Nov 2008 02:07:16 +0000 Julia Taylor 1390 at http://digitalartscorps.org
