Development

Year-end fundraising

Goal: $15,000 by Dec 31, 2026, grants excluded. Two workstreams:

• The Dec 10, 2026 event: a community activation reintroducing Artifice, curated by Danielle Paterson, with a donation ask inside the run of show. Single Patron ticket tier at $165.
• A mid-December year-end email through Zeffy.

Sponsorship

Chapter 006 anchor artifacts are sponsor-led at $15-25K each. The HESAI conversation is the live sponsorship thread; Fuser is the held backup.

Grants

The pipeline lives in the Grants Tracker. Recent filings:

• MIMA Prequalified List (City of West Hollywood) - filed Oct 15, 2026; November review round. Listing is a pool: later pickups license existing silent works at a flat $5,000.
• Simons Foundation, Open Interval (Turbulence) - deadline Oct 21, 2026.
