Hello Everyone,
Just a quick note - yes the crate made it safely all the way to Spain. And now we begin our last hours countdown. Just 4 more at this moment. But, surprise, we just had a new backer pledge ... so you see there is always hope that those last minute $$ make it on.

We are all looking forward to attending to getting out all your rewards and finishing up some details for the trip.

Thank you all again & have a great weekend.

Here are a couple of other images of work that will be in the show:

Hello Backers,

We are excited to report that after a week of phone calls and paper pushing the crate is on its way!!! Thanks to the nice people at USCIB.org (United States Council on International Business) who guided me through the process - we have our ATA Carnet - a passport for our crate of goodies, to get it in and out of customs here and in Spain w/o problems. ($$$$$)

SOOOOOOO ---- we are almost there. They have a killer schedule lined up for us. We still need more help - yes - it is true. We have met our goal but we hate leaving some artists behind. We hope you will please tell others to support us - spread the word - forward this email to your friends.

Here is a small poster of the show - and a peek at a couple of pieces of artwork inside that crate!

ENJOY!!

Thanks to all of you- We just reached our goal today and we are jumping up and down...(video to follow)!

ARTFORMZ IS HEADING FOR SPAIN!

We are still looking forward to more backers joining our effort. Reaching our modest goal has helped some of us with the basics, but others have maxed out their credit cards to get these plane tickets purchased and the artworks in the crate. Some artists still cannot even consider going. We know we have more friends out there and trust Kickstarter will inspire them as they did you and us. We would just LOVE to see all the Artformz Artists together in Spain.

We'll keep everyone posted on our progress as we begin the busy, busy process of last minute details.

WE'RE HAVING A FABULOUS WEEK - AND HOPE YOU ARE TOO!

Thank You - Thank you!!!

We just couldn't wait:

Thanks to every one of you amazing people supporting us through Kickstarter ---- we are a tiny bit over 90% funded!!!

We are still working hard getting the word out that we are ALMOST there.... yep - ALMOST. So we still need more support. Of course we need to go over our goal. The budget to Spain is obviously much more, and if we raise more we can just represent Miami artists and the USA better once we get there.

New developments are in the works for the continuation of this project ... exciting ones - hopefully we can announce those details soon.

We still have 20 days to go - so we just know we are really going to do it! Thanks to YOU backers and Kickstarter too - of course. I want a big thanks to go out to them. What a brilliant application of people helping people. Everyone around our community whether pledging or not have been tuning in to see what this is. Artformz is happy to be a part.

You can keep helping - Please share our project with your friends.....

We're almost there!!!! You'll be happy to hear that we are 87% funded! There are still a few days to go and all of us at Artformz are hoping we can raise more than our goal. Our total budget is much higher and we certainly can use more if we raise more.

We thought you would all like to know that The Knight Foundation - always a great supporter of our work - has written a great piece about our Kickstarter Project and Artist Invites Artist. It was posted to their national Knight Arts Challenge web blog. Below is an image of the website. If you hurry you'll catch our story on their front page - here's the link -I know you'll want to read more: http://www.knightarts.org/
