Bild-Werk is growing - The financial development should do it also!
Over the years Bild-Werk has inevitably grown to meet changing needs, and to offer ever better services of a modern academy. Our costs have risen as we have employed more staff. Our funding situation has not kept pace, and so we are looking at ways that we can ourselves create some income. The board of Bild-Werk has two fund raising plans for the coming year. Firstly, in the autumn of next year, October 2nd, our second biannual Benefit Auction. But we also plan early next year to create a Crowd Funding especially to be able to offer places to talented young, emerging artists to come and experience Bild-Werk Frauenau. This newsletter is a request to all members with any experience in setting up and running a Crowd Funding action to come forward and assist Bild-Werk team to make a success of this action. If you have personal experience, or know another who has experience of Crown funding and could offer to assist us then please contact Claudia at the office. Many ways to assist Bild-Werk Donations are always welcome - not only for Christmas!
