Today was the day for the group photo -- being able to put a human face with a project can positively affect people's attitudes towards a project, if considering donating, partnering, supporting, etc. The photo will be posted on the website/blog.... which after some delays, is finally up and running! It's at winterfood.org ! We updated our Call for Entries online to include this information.
The fundraiser is coming up soon, so the budgeteers are trying to sort out all the details. We landed a location in front of Quirk Gallery to set up our tables. Working on the crochet bracelets for fundraiser -- seems like a lot of effort for items that will sell for $1 (as we decided that's an amount that people will likely be willing to donate without too much hassle). It is much easier to convince people to give money when it is a nominal amount and for a good cause.
So What?
It is crucial to have a web presence these days, as the web is where people turn to for information. Its great since in order to make the Call for Art posters not too cluttered with information, we directed people to get more information at the website. We can also continually update the website with more information, details, and links, unlike a print piece. However, there still need to be print pieces in circulation in order to direct people to see the site.
Now What?
Working on the Call for Entries, we planned to have further information accessible online. However, due to various factors, the website wasn't ready until now. Obviously, this was a bit of a learning experience, as we made references to a site that wasn't live, and likely lost some interest who tried to visit a dead-end 404 error. Dealing with the unexpected allows us to figure out ways to adapt to problems and potential setbacks.
