the calendar
12 Months never looked so good!
Featuring models from all over the country, bklyn boihood's annual calendar does so much more than keep time. We build confidence through visibility, empower artists to develop their work, turn Brooklyn into a canvas and most importantly, celebrate our presence in the community. Join us in creating the opportunity of a lifetime for over 20 models, photographers, artistic directors and designers.
2012's calendar will be shot through the month of July. While on set, models and participants are immersed in an experience that is meant to champion their confidence, celebrate their beauty and produce groundbreaking images that rock the world.
The money raised will fund printing the calendar, the production team, photographers, editors, fillmakers, on set supplies/food, and wardrobe/hair (and yes, even) makeup.
This year we're building on the energy of 2010's inaugural production and investing in a month-long celebration of ourselves. The outcome will certainly represent the journey and we look forward to bringing you a 2012 Calendar that will make you proud to be/know/love/support bois everywhere.
We've put together great rewards and look forward to sharing our journey with you through our calendar and accompanying short film that will document the process.
WE NEED YOUR HELP.
Dig deep into those fresh pockets and help us accomplish our mission! We've got great rewards for your generosity and look forward to showing the world what can be built with integrity and community.
With love,
the bois

Give what you can!! Bklyn boihood has always tried to keep the policy that you pay what you can to our events and activities. Our Kickstarter Campaign is no different. We've got goodies to share when you donate $5 or more but we'll even take your dollar and stretch it as far as we can. If you're interested in donating, say, several thousand dollars--go right ahead! We'd be so honored and have great rewards for organizations and individuals interested in that level of commitment. Donate today!!

Because we exist all over the world and self-love is hard work. Because while some of us have been surrounded by loving and supportive people many of us have not and this is a space/project to remind us of who we are and that we are valuable, beautiful and worth the effort. We have heard from each other, parents, children, allies, men, all thanking us for the work we're doing. Calendars are a way to embody and commemorate our journey towards self-love and acceptance. Join us by donating today.
