• Timeraiser Supports Local Artists

  Date: 2009.08.24 | Category: Timeraiser | Response: 3

  Timeraiser is an event that can be difficult for us to sum up to newcomers.  It stands alone as a not-for-profit event that has a positive impact on artists, Over the counter viagra volunteers, sponsors, volunteer agencies and the community where the event takes place. The Timeraiser is part silent art auction, part volunteer fair and part night on the town, and it does a lot to benefit Levitra pas cher the community.

  One of the most unique attributes of the Timeraiser program is the support of local artists. Because of the support of our corporate donors, we are able to purchase the works of art selected to be in the Timeraiser, at fair market value, from an amazing variety of local Canadian artists. As an artist, working with Timeraiser provides incredible networking opportunities, exposure in the community, and fair market value for their selected work.

  Why We Care

  When people ask why we limit the amount of art displayed at each Timeraiser, we respond like so many other NPOs – our budget. The typical response is: “Why can’t the artist donate their work so you can have more art to display?”

  It’s this very question that makes us realize that the general public isn’t aware of the struggle most emerging artists experience in the beginning of their career. Viagra alternatives Below I’ve included an example of one artist’s annual expenses. Online levitra Viagra sin receta Levitra contraindicaciones The average annual operating costs for one artist is approximately $10,000.

  By asking artists to donate their artwork, we are ultimately devaluing the important work that arts and culture provides to our community.  It is our hope that by providing emerging artists with fair market value for their work we will highlight the importance of investing in the arts. While Timeraiser is about generating volunteer hours and promoting local NPOs, it’s equally important to actively support the art community.

  Rethinking the Importance of Arts and Culture

  In recent decades, society has considerably enhanced their understanding of the relationship between art, heritage, culture and the economy.

  Cultural creation, production and presentation have gone from being almost ignored in the economic sphere to being at the centre of new development strategies. Viagra levitra Levitra achat Arts and culture are now routinely called to the aid of ailing downtown cores, deserted or overpopulated urban areas, or neighbourhoods torn apart by violence Purchase viagra and poverty. Prospecto levitra Today, ministers of culture are central players in the achievement of their governments’ mandate. Tomorrow, the cultural portfolio may be the single most important agent in the pursuit of a healthy society.”  Click here for the full article.
