Information about my Cause Art Plus \u2018Dinner & Art For A Cause\u2019 Fundraiser<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Re: \u2018Dinner & Art For A Cause\u2019 Brief Description<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concept: A \u2018Dinner & Art For A Cause\u2019 gives people another good reason to go out and enjoy a good meal at a local restaurant with friends, where a variety of local art is offered for sale to help support a worthwhile cause.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three main components of the fundraiser: Worthy Cause, Art & Restaurant <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone that participates in the fundraiser will benefit. Funds will be raised for a cause; artists get exposure while supporting the cause they believe in by donating at least 10% or more from their art sales proceeds. The restaurant owner can support the event by offering their space and having people enjoy their food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s essential to organize the fundraiser as simply as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find a cause from a foundation or society that will help support the event through their network. Preferred causes are from the health, humanitarian, nature, or environmental sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use an existing well-operated restaurant with an appropriate open concept. The manager would set up the establishment properly for the fundraiser. Those who attend simply make a reservation, and the restaurant manager organizes space for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those attending could order off the menu, or the restaurant chefs would have the opportunity to prepare different types of specially prepared dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Showcase beautiful and exciting art from artists from different disciplines such as: visual, literary, performing, and music.  – Market the event through traditional & contemporary social media methods to help promote the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundraiser would typically occur once or twice a year in the spring and fall.  More events can be organized throughout the year if the fundraiser becomes popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary committee would consist of 2-3 people. With additional help on the day of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event would take place on time agreed to by the restaurant manager, usually on a Thursday evening. A typical evening event would look like this: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2-4 pm \u2013 Event set up<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6pm \u2013 Doors open with possible live music playing <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6-7pm \u2013 People mingle view the donated art: art sold, or bids placed on silent auction and live auction pieces viewed (If offered).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7-7:15 \u2013 Introductions first by MC explaining the evening and then introducing the cause spokesperson to say a few words or provide a short educational presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7:15 \u2013 8:15 \u2013 Dinner is served and enjoyed with light music playing in the background<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8:15 -8:30 \u2013 People have a chance to make last bids on silent art items<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8:30 \u2013 8:45 \u2013 Live performance by musician or poet recited<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8:45 \u2013 9pm \u2013 Sales Finalized or Silent Art collected and reported. Successful bidders pay and collect or leave to pick-up when they leave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9:00 \u2013 9:30 pm \u2013 Live Auction (If offered)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9:30 \u2013 10pm \u2013 People mingle event will end<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evening time may vary slightly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the event, the news will be done and shared with all those involved and distributed accordingly, and used to promote the event’s success. Event photos and a suitable write-up about the event will be used for after-event promotion through traditional and contemporary media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundraiser co-leader, Derek Rickwood, will collect money.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Money owed from art sales will be distributed to the artists as soon as possible after the event, most likely as an e-transfer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A follow-up meeting will take place as soon as possible to discuss the event and when the profits will be handed over to the cause spokesperson.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
