And although we make every effort to raise the money that we need with Andrea’s self-sufficient spirit in tow, we still rely on support from donors to make it all happen. This has included hosting recurring fundraising projects such as our Artist Painted Rock Auction, Gem/Mineral Expo, pop-ups at art fairs and art museums, and producing limited edition artworks for sale.īut these endeavors never quite add up to what we need-to pay our artists fairly, for venue rentals, for staff, liability insurance, the bookkeeper, to feed our volunteers, pay for all-terrain forklift rentals, and so much more.Īs our programs grow every year, so does our budget. Over the past ten years, HDTS has been working towards building a more substantial funding structure for artists’ projects. For many years this worked and it produced self-driven projects that were ambitious and independently spirited. The idea was to support artistic visions in practical terms-provide help, guidance, tools, a cot, and infinite space. When HDTS was founded in 2002, part of the original mission was to run on a zero budget.
