Artists Supporting Pride: Rainbow Spirits (Mannequin Canvases)
This event, sponsored by the Pride Community Center, seeks to bring artists and the Pride community together to help support 2018 Pride in Gainesville, Florida.
Artists: We encourage you to claim a Spirit Mannequin, apply your vision in any medium you choose (paint, fabric, sculpture, audio/visual, wherever your imagination leads you). We will have a special event with food, music and drink where you can take physical possession of your desired spirit. You have three weeks to personalize it in your own unique way. During a second event at the Pride Center, all the spirits will be revealed and made available to the public by auction. All funds raised go to make this year's Pride the best ever. Artists will receive networking opportunities with other artists and the general public through two public events, your piece will be featured in a special book with a photo of your finished Spirit, your unique bio and contact information. These books will be made available to the general public. You will receive a free copy of this book. You may also receive a spotlight in local media. Simply choose a number that does not list an artist by name to adopt your Spirit Mannequin to make into your unique work of art.
Businesses: Would you like to sponsor an artist of your choice? For only $300, you can choose your artist and your Spirit and at the conclusion of the final reveal event, you will own your Spirit Mannequin to display your pride in your local business! Simply select the number of the Spirit Mannequin you would like, provide your contact information and let us know you are a business, and we will be in touch.
