Power2Give Campaign Now Running

Sticky Post By Amanda Hudgins On June 6, 2016

RunJumpDev is now working with LexArts to help fund raise for our artists for the 2016 Rules and Play. The ongoing campaign, using the charity website Power2Give, is intended to help fund the campaign over the course of the next month. This fundraiser will help us give money to all of our artists to help cover the costs of exhibiting in our upcoming show in Lexington, KY.

This fundraiser is currently live on Power2Give, and for the first $500 we have matching donations through Baptist Health. That means for every $1 spent, we get another dollar in matching funds. This is extremely helpful for bringing interactive art to the Bluegrass and we are incredibly excited for this opportunity. This donation form is live through the end of the month of June.

We are pretty excited about our upcoming art show, Rules and Play 2016! To celebrate, we made a video for promotion. If you’re interested, please feel free to share the video along. It showcases several pieces from last years art show. Most of the footage was captured by one of our exhibitors last year, mildmojo. We hope to put together a longer video recapping everything from last year.

2016 Call to Artists Extended til March 6

Sticky Post By Amanda Hudgins On February 25, 2016

We are pushing back the deadline for Rules and Play from February 26 to March 6.

This deadline change is due to a few factors. For starters, we wanted to make sure that everyone was able to access the materials that were made available during the walk through of the space, including blueprints of the gallery space and images. Since these were just made available to the artists mailing list this week, we decided to give everyone an extra week. Additionally, with increased interest in the exhibition, we wanted to give everyone an opportunity to submit their work before the deadline.

This should not effect any of the other milestones in the process, and everything else is set to go for the exhibition. Thank you for your continued interest! We look forward to seeing what everyone is bringing to Rules and Play 2016! If you haven’t already, be sure to submit your proposal here.
