My Plan

Just an update of my book project. I am at 81% of my goal amount.

I was thinking if I get more contributions I maybe can use some of the money to make it possible for renting an art studio space in Baltimore Art Tower.
That may be a good opportunity to showcase my photo book too.
Because a few weeks ago when I was volunteering in Bromo-Seltzer Tower which is accommodating artists. I have found out they have got about 30 studios for rent (only 3 available at the moment).
Since I was experiencing that atmosphere to be a part of the artist community, I can't stop thinking how could I rent a studio there, and to have my own space to create every day and paint again with oil on canvas. Would be great to meet with art lovers/buyers and exhibit my work. I believe that will be a very important step in my life, and my art can evolve.
But my financial situation don't allow me to do it, because the yearly rent is approx. $4000.

My campaign will run for 4 more days, so I might have some chance to receive enough money to put towards to the art studio rental reservation.

But I am against the hosting site, Indiegogo, because despite of my tweeting and sharing my project link, they are not displaying my campaign in the front page search ('final countdown', 'trending' or 'most funded') sections. So people only find my project through my own sharing activity. That's why I have to share it here too, to make my campaign more visible.

Sorry only replying now, but I was too tired last night. I've been volunteering again, but this time I was helping out in the Star-Spangled Spectacular celebration in Baltimore. I am very happy to help out and to be a little part of the fun.
Actually I am leaving soon to help out today too in the 'Family Fun Zone' in Inner Harbor. So if you are around there this morning, come and meet me, I will be there until 2.30pm.

Thank you so much Janine and Melissa!
Yes, I am very pleased I got another contribution yesterday. The person choose the signed art print perk. I just hope I will get more contributions, so I can give a call to the Art Tower to reserve the art studio. Once I've done all my volunteering this weekend (I've signed up for Saturday and Sunday too), I will start working on my book.
