Talked to MDeC the other day about how they can help sponsor Arts for the Environment. As it is, we do have an ad-hoc association, with funding from a gamut of sources; however, we are experiencing some level of difficulty when it comes to providing funds for the exhibitions. Most of the money goes into the materials for these exhibitions. Surprisingly, very little of the money goes to the artist. We haven't even began to think about how we will fund marketing and publicity.
I can see how MDeC can help sponsor the exhibition of Arts for the Environment events, but this model is unsustainable. We were thinking of artists donating part of their works to the organization, and the money from works sold would help fund future expeditions and exhibitions. But all work is not necessarily sellable.
Just looked into the Singapore National Arts Council. There appears to be some level of granting available in Singapore. How would that work? Would we be selling out?
