How does participation work?
artists
The fact is, it is difficult to make a living as an artist. We don’t feel artists should be starving. We are confident that Rochester will support this endeavor and artists will be compensated. It is difficult to set numbers of how much and when until we are open for awhile. The books will be open. Ideally within a year artists will be able to have leasing arrangements or sell their art outright to the space.
helpers
Volunteers will be necessary in the beginning. There will need to be employees, and a business manager, as we get close to opening to the public.
We really feel that this vision will result in great traffic through our space and we all can be proud of the creation!
benefactors
We may be seeking investments known as interest-only loans. You invest a dollar amount and we agree on an interest rate, and you receive monthly payments of interest only, until enough money is saved to pay you the lump sum back of the principle. Contact us for more information.
