Donate to Community Clay Center and Residency Programs
If you’d like to donate to the Community Clay and Residency Studio outside of the raffles, this is my crowdfunding page. Why do it here instead of Kickstarter or Go Fund Me? Both of those platforms have additional fees associated with them that dilute the donations. For example a $5.00 donation here, becomes $4.55 after processing fees, and then after taxes, it’s more like a $3.50 donation. This is just meant to explain why our fundraising goals might seem high. ($50,000 raised, is estimated $38,768 after taxes and fees).
Fundraising here on my website, I still need to pay the processing fees, and taxes, but do save on the transaction fees I’d pay if I used the other site. $0.30 per transaction really adds up when your goal is lots of $5.00 donations!
We moved to Portugal in September 2024 and have been busy getting set up for phase one: getting residency artists and guest artist workshops started in 2025.
Images below are the future location of our artist residency housing and studio in Carvalhal - Bombarral, Portugal. We’ll begin some of the Community Center offerings from the residency studio and Mariana’sstudio, but space is tight, and we will outgrow it quickly. Resident artists will have access to a studio at the house they’ll stay in AND access to other local studios through collaborations with other artists.
