Looks like we did not reach our goal, and that means no money for our show:(

So we have created a new Kickstarter!!! Our new goal is $1,800. This amount is much lower than the $2,951 that you, our Backers have already generously pledged – but our budgetary needs are much greater than $1,800!!! We are simply trying to guarantee we will make at least $1,800 but that our expenses are fare greater and we really need $4,400 and if we had reached $10,000 we could really do this right and pay people for their work on the show.

If you have pledged to our old Kickstarter we are requesting that you switch your pledge to our new Kickstarter:

Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,

Carolyne D. Landon, President Oregon Women Caucus for Art

Catherine J. H. Miller,  Artistic/Project Director Fine Arts Curator

The OWCA is a 501c3 corporation.

FAQ

  • There's another Kickstarter for this project?

    Yes! Since the OWCA took this on as one of their projects, and this one failed to make goal despite all the generosity and support we received, we decided to start a new Kickstarter with a lower goal, so that we could at least make sure we could pay the rent on the exhibition space.

  • What happened to my pledge since the goal wasn't met?

    Unfortunately, that means that we did not receive your pledge, and you did not get charged for the amount that you pledged. We would really love those of you who support this project to switch your pledge to the new Kickstarter, here: http://kck.st/lXgecM
